I really don't think this is the way to go about stopping crit-evade stacking, as the ONLY way to do those things properly is to go into one of MAYBE 3 classes. People trying to build crit evade without gimping themselves or going one of those few classes have to run boneheart, and still get crit very consistently unless they're stacking hard into 2 stats that don't benefit them outside of that one metric. I think people often forget just how battle-changing critical hits are versus how hard it is to counter that. Especially with there being no 'crit evade' stat on armor outside of boneheart, where-as weapons themselves get a crit stat (often ranging UPWARDS OF 40 PERCENT) to add to the amount given by stats.

My point being, if you're gonna go after crit evade stacking, go after BK first and foremost. They already get really good defenses on top of it.

Crit Evade should never equal Crit if that's what you're getting at here, Crit Evade doesn't have a stat on armor because the stat itself is the baseline that Crit has to be determined against. Crit Evade is advantaged to begin with as 100 crit evade means a 0% chance to crit with 100 crit. I doubt BK is the issue when Bonder and Ranger can provide very similar amounts of the stat, and base bard can provide half that.

I said Crit Evade should still be a viable build path in my original post and I'm doing my best to express that point of view, boneheart at the current moment is just a little too effective in enabling builds that outright deny it.

It is impossible to fight something with 50 odd defense and 15-30 armor with no crits at all. BK does not change that quite so much.
