Greenscale is pretty terrible for people without evasion, because very few people will try and attack normally when they can see that their hit is abysmally low. However, when used in conjunction with Evasion, it removes an overbearing amount of Focus. The best case scenario for the attacker is an autohit that deals one instance of damage, and even then, you're probably at least doubling the cost of the skill to use. When looking at things like rapid kick, mad chop, and elemental rave, you can lose hundreds of FP for one attack. I suggest nerfing the FP drain on the evasion-triggered 'dodges' to UL/3, down to 6 FP drain.
The counterargument to this is, of course, that using autohitting attacks on a dodgey individual with a tunic should kill them quickly. However, with the DR from evasion, the wide variety of mass resist/reduction, and healing that allows you to easily wait out the damage (Meditate, Repair, Graft, Aid), you are almost guaranteed to live longer than the enemy's focus.
