okay so looking at it, as it stands, for spellthief alone, by itself, you need sarasha gi, plus spirited distortion and southern wind, to reliably evade. which is kind of silly if you ask me, and also fortune wind got hit too, which like, i figured all of this stuff was fine but

evades are fine as is capping their evade with one buff. such a change makes certain combos that could barely evade cap even worse at it and it's honestly kind of stinky to think about, and also

windswept gi in general is trash as an equip. not even worth using. remove the for 1 attack, even if it stacks up to 2 apparently, that's not shit, plus it'd help mage builds evade cap too, and maybe help in general if you wanted to keep these horribly low evade buff numbers too

don't just make it stack endlessly, cause then multihits will still absolutely shred you and leave them with +20 hit against you basically. please. please i beggeth of you. make evade capping great again

okay making a small edit to this to drive the point further: these nerfs to evade buffs actually suck, the biggest thing i love about sl2 is the build freedom. but it's really an illusion of build freedom. i honestly have an easier time and less headache with being a tank than being an evade, if you want to tank, you would only need bk. and then you can have whatever the hell secondary class you want and have all the fun in the world. meanwhile, evade, you need rogue, or archers promo, as one of your classes, plus you need to put in a bunch of extra momentum to just evade cap, and in the case of if you only have spellthief, you need to spirit southern wind, distortion, and then use sarasha gi to evade cap, without being on the southern edge. that's actually horrible, actually evil.

it limits build choices so much that it stands no reason for distortion to just be +40 by itself. or even increasing southern wind, too. i'm fine with having to have a rogue or archer promo. that's okay. but i shouldn't need to go through five different steps and spend like a bunch of momentum just to set up my several evade buffs i need, like, if you want to evade with evade buffs being this bad, you need to change your build heavily around it, limiting creativity and making each and every evade build more copy and paste than they already were. also it's kind of also silly to gimp all of them if fortune wind remains the best evade buff and still basically lets you evade cap if you go into luck enough, which archer is all about critting, so you know.

please. please just make evade capping great again. i beg of you. revert these nerfs to the evade buffs

Windswept should be un-nerfed. Elementalist too, it has lower base evade. So many attacks evade ignore or just have great accuracy now that I really don't think its a problem. (I also never really thought it was a problem.)

There should be more ways for every class to play evasively, and equipment is the way to make that happen.

I agree on build freedom! So much homogeny now!
