^I think people only wear full evade if they know they're hitting that 70% evade cap.
Isn't there a number to evade that allows you to evade Provoke / Sleep / Freeze more efficiently? Back in THQ I heard everyone should be at atleast 60 evade for that reason or is it just hearsay?
As for the pure aim, that's somewhat arguable. Aim and movespeed are really all that you need. With the amount of agility that a thief can stack, I don't see why it won't work.
What I do see, is that if you're a "pure aim" build, you won't have enough evade for it to substantially matter (Trying to change that, personally) iirc, A pure aim build in technical terms is a focus on agility/aim. Honestly, in the end, it'll just end up that with so much agility you'll be stupid not to tack on evade anyways. It's either agi/health or agi/evade for special equipment after all. I know there's a formula for it running around, but I just go with 4 agi = 1 AR for the conservation of mental effort.
Also, with an influx of Grens I've been PvPing, Sign of Dragon Fellowship (11% MP) Ryvius's Necklace of Purity (10% rate: 15MP back per hit) and Lava Belt 3 (MP Recovery Speed +10%) feel like the best things since sliced bread. My character card is 10% MP, sometimes I feel it's worth it.
7agi=1aim. not 4
