Evasion?Follow

So looking through my equipment, I realized I had +17 Evasion.. now.. I'm wondering if anyone has noticed any real effect while using them. My evasion skill is near maxed for my level. If I were to equip Brass Scale inplace of the arms/legs/feet, I'd have roughly 6 more defense [I don't see a point in getting Centurion's Scale Mail since I'm not usually on the frontline], but only +5 Evasion which I get from my headgear. Would it be worth replacing some of the items I had [Martial Slacks, Air Solea, Scentless Armlets] with items that increase other attributes [MND/INT preferebly] ? I'm eyeing a Holy Phial [after I spend 70-80k for Dispel] to replace my Justice Badge as well as a Black Cape. I'm going by the chance that more evasion would mean me taking less hits thus not needing the +6 defense I'd otherwise have. So does anyone happen to have insight on evasion?

from what i can tell, you're an RDM and you have that much evasion gear? mind listing what you're wearing since i think its pretty much the same as what a warr/thief can wear and i dont recall seeing that much +evasion gear? im a thief and even with thief-wearable equipment i only can get about +10 evasion at lvl 25.

i believe even if evasion is maxed, this + evasion adds to it.

Since you are a Taru Taru and you already have a lot of MP I would focus on MND and INT enhancing effects so you get strong heals/nukes. After that I would focus on Evasion and Defense enhancing equipment so you can survive aggro for a few hits.

I see a lot of Taru Taru go all out on the MP+ equipment but I don't think that is the best strategy. They end up getting killed by one crit or special attack from a mob. Or they cast very sparingly because they are so afraid of aggro and end up never getting to use that extra mana and slowing down the group.
