Back to evasion suggestion.

Would put this under suggestion but what might be stated falls under balancing as well.

What's the reason for this thread? Simple, throwing a ball or a suggestion towards evasion builds and their squishiness without turning them into pure tanks or buffing tanks with them.

How would you go about that? Well to add one (two) suggestions, bonus on top of evasion.

Not everyone can run classes that provide bonus reduction, even then, there are times when it isn't enough compared to, let's say a doomed wall (Doom wall is someone that can not only take overall damage well but can dish it just as hard.)

So what are these suggestions?

Graze
Sidestep

Variant bonuses of Evasion.

Graze! Graze is when someone has enough evade check to proc this. It reduces the incoming damage by half of their CEL stats. This works very similarly to armor.

Sidestep! Whenever the enemy's hit check is very low if not in the negatives, they have a chance to proc Sidestep. This allows someone to move to the side and avoid an attack.

Details?

Graze can be activated whenever the Hit/Evade check is around mid to low but the chance it triggers I would suggest should be linked to CEL (Half Scaled CEL maybe). This will avoid brawlers that barely invest their points into CEL to gain a massive advantage from it. This Variant applies with the reduction standard Evasion provides.

This is mainly for auto hits but possible to implement for basic attacks if touched up a bit.

Sidesteps can be activated whenever the Hit/Evade check is low to the negatives (Like 25% to -1 and less). While this is also to punish those those who ignores SKILL or overall hit stats, but leaving it to RNG will also prevent stackers from abusing it. 

The RNG chance where it could proc? I would say if the hit check is over 1%  and higher, 10% chance of their current evade. If it's under 0%, 15% chance of their current evade. (Cap at 50% chance)

If they are unable to move due to immobilization, Frozen, or any status like that, they cannot proc Sidestep. If the step is still within damage tile then it will fail and force them to take standard evasion or Graze damage instead. This means if the enemy uses Air pressure and while they did trigger Sidestep, but all around them is still within the attack, it will fail.

While the suggestion doesn't seem all that great, it would certainly aid evasion builds against auto hits while still suggesting counterplayer to avoid this type of fighting style becoming the go to. This is more a support than a complete switch.
