Evasion Rating is Completely Useless

Here's the real deal. If you get one shot, you get one shot.
There are no "slow, oh I'm taking dmg I better get out of this" in the end game.
I can have capped res, es/ev 7k+ who and still get curse one shot by something off screen.

GGG has a problem trying to balance dmg and players defences.
The current state of pretty much dead or not dead and not many places in-between don't feel fun at all.
Best solution is strength to give 5 life instead of 2 and of course raising max cap of element resistances to 80 instead of 75. Chaos max cap defence should be reached to 90.

It isn't so easy to max all resistance to full. So the balance would not affect at all.

yea thats why everyone goes eva/es
"buff grenades"

- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades)
GGG should cut the damage you take from the hit in half and have evasion roll twice for each half. High evasion still matters but 1 shots less likely unless you fail both evasion rolls.
"Evasion is useless" has to be the most textbook example of survivorship bias I've ever seen play out in reality.

Like, of course you think it's useless if all you focus on is the one time it failed you instead of the 999 times it saved you.

Just a few quick screenshots of recent endgame content in which I was taking damage and had to get out of it. It wasn't slow but I don't know why that's a criteria - as long as you have time to react then your defenses saved you from death.

Like I ran I MoM + EB build in 0.1 with 0 Energy Shield and heard all the same things -- it wasn't viable; it wouldn't work; it was broken; ES is king, etc. and yet I cleared all content to T4 barely missing a beat.

It's crazy to me that the people who participate in these forums who should be the ones most interested in experimentation and discovery and taking risks seem to be the ones who just fall back on parroting decade's old talking points about how there's only one acceptable form of defense.
