PLD Evasion

Was wonder what other PLDs have for Evasion builds atm.
This is what I am working on finishing atm for when i finally start playing PLD again. Still need to finish sword and get my hands on the ring/belt.

eva pld seems like a waste of time.....

You should replace the phasmida belt with a scouter's rope. The haste on the phasmida belt would only make you give the mob TP faster and you wont need the HP scouter's takes away because you wont get hit with the extra evasion.

What do you mean a waste of time?

oh i forgot about scouter's rope that will be a lot easier to get then phasmida

my Ochain doesn't block enough to justify making me happy, I'm thinking of making a parry build.

This thread confuses me.

I believe the opposite is preferred in most scenarios. you should be using the minimal amount of evasion necessary for a given task and then give haste to remaining slots. That said, I don't know why anyones using a PLD evasion build.

assuming this is for older content where stuff is really weak(read: much lower level) and eva would do something, even then...


to those that were wondering wtf(like myself)

PLD is about as evasive as a brick wall...

In all seriousness, on stuff that the evasion should do something for... you don't even need evasion. If you want to be evasive... level a different job.

is this... serious...?

Guy is trollin' =p

Like some1 said all I see is scouter's rope.

Though you really shouldn't go into the evasion direction for pld.
Their base evasion is kinda bad and you would prolly get more out wearing PDT- gears than evasion.

I really do hope so :x

Found a pic of OP:

best build ever I say I thought about giving my ochain a rest to do a setup like this recently

Tell that to all the people who miss Fortifications. :(

As niche as it is, I saw an eva build used for the rng gigas who's ranged attacks dispelled you and could rather painful. It worked very well but at this current level cap even that isn't all that useful.

If you run in to a situation where a mob has very low accuracy, or the specific attack does and you really need a certain attack to miss then I could see it being a factor but other than that, evasion builds are better for jobs who might actually evade mobs worth gearing for.

That being said, innovation is all about trying things that may not make sense at first so if you do something amazing with an eva build on pld, you might turn some heads... but I'm going to doubt it til I see it.

Touché~

So do all the melee rdm threads but people make them just the same in the hopes of discovering some new way to reinvent the wheel and exploit a niche :/
