Armour and Evasion

Is it just me or does anyone else thing that armour and evasion notable nodes just suck? Even then i feel like it just sucks as a defensive set up unless im running surrounded and scavenge plaiting just to get enough of both stats so i can be okay to run it.

Yeah, I agree for a few reasons.

1) No matter how much secondary defenses you stack (Armour and Evasion), end-game bosses will 1-shot you, anyway. GGG wants you to dance the boss mechanics. In that case, why bother getting defense? Just go full offense.
2) I find primary defenses, like move speed and HP/ES a lot more helpful. Just get out of the way.
3) Even tertiary defenses (Stun Threshold, block, etc) seem a lot better, in terms of skill tree. 2 nodes for ailment threshold often saves you from getting frozen or shocked, but you could get like 6 nodes of armour or evasion, and just not feel their effect.

IMO evasion and armour are kind of pointless in this kind of game, and they should be taken out.

Can’t speak for evasion


armour though is in a great spot


Energy shield and it’s mechanics are just over the top. Which the devs acknowledged prior to league launch in ziggys interview.
