Stance
Evasive Stance
Evasive Stance is a martial stance whose value depends on the build's damage schedule, Endurance budget, and encounter pressure.
Overview
Class access
Bard, Beastlord, Monk, Ranger, Rogue
Primary value
Short emergency avoidance and cast-recovery windows
Tradeoff
Rapid Endurance loss under concentrated attacks
Current Effect
Provides a 95% chance to evade incoming attacks while sufficient Endurance remains; evaded damage consumes Endurance and the stance fails while playing dead. T2
Build Synergy
Evasive is unusually valuable in hybrid builds with lifetaps, heals, roots, or escape tools. A low-health character can evade long enough to cast back toward safety instead of spending the same window being interrupted or killed.
Tactical Use
Treat it as an emergency mode, not permanent mitigation. Swap in at low health, stabilize with lifetaps or heals, then return to a damage or recovery stance.
Verification Boundary
Tooltip values and class access are current-reference data. Exact event ordering, rounding, resource-cost scaling, and interactions not explicitly named by the tooltip remain subject to combat-log testing and balance changes.
