Given how small evasion skill pulses are when compared to weapons and armor, is 4 ranks per circle excessive? I do think that evasion should be trained as hard as possible but it seems there is only so much you can do. Currently, evasion is 100 ranks behind my primary weapon and 180 ranks behind shield. Shield pulses appear to be 1.25%, Weapons are pulsing at 1.01 and evasion is pulsing at 0.60. That's about half of what my shield skill is currently pulsing at. Right now, my primary weapon is the bane of my existence as far as what I need to circle and after 3.0 hits, it will most assuredly become evasion. Currently I have mid 40s wisdom and intel. Thoughts?

Well, I noticed clerics and warrior mages got an armor requirement of 2/2/3/3/4 That would be slightly more palatable. I realize we're a combat guild, and I don't have a problem with the evasion requirement in general, it just seems a little high for a tert skill. Seems like, as a combat guild, it shouldn't even be tert. We are the best at moving in armor, but when it comes to actually being able to move, we're half as good at it. Just my perspective, I guess. What level are you at, Worril?

Honestly, the way things stand right now you learn evasion from the second you enter combat until you walk out. It's stupidly easy to train. With the reqs as listed for 3.0 that leaves us at what, 460ish required by 150th? If you don't have more than that by 150th you will have bigger issues than circling reqs. Just my take on it.

Nah, complaining is fine, I'm just looking at my current ranks at circle 136, with 785 shield and 641 evasion. I just don't see it really being an issue. Remember that primary skills will slow down as they get higher as well. And evasion locks within minutes of entering at level combat. I think the req sounds harsher than it really is.

I've heard it's around 40 or 50. I've never tested that theory though. They are still useful for spell contests among other things so I just keep them up.

I don't think the issue is really with evasion being a Hard req, its the fact you now need another survival instead.
