Magic Evasion Bonus Job Trait

[Capn]

Here's what I use:

Avalon Breastplate (-5% MDT)
Twilight Torque (-5% Damage Taken)
Merman's Earring (two of them at -4% MDT total)
Dark Ring (two of them at -12% MDT total [among other defensive stats])

-26% MDT overall.

Some of that gear is expensive or r/ex, so other good options include the Level 66/67 Coral Harness set and Merman's Rings. It'll take up more inventory space, but it works just the same.

Not bad at all. While I still like the idea of another evasion trait for thf, this is really nice to see (with numbers). I think I can actually invest in some of this stuff to macro in when I see a "xxx is casting killyou-ga V"

You can lug around even more gear a stack up some MDB and INT in slots w/o -MDT. Plus a few choice sachets (ice, thunder, and fire are nice) + atma/buffs can really put us in a great place tanking wise when it comes to magic damage.

Personally, if you are in AOE you should carry aound some defenses. Not everyone will have everything, but something is better than naught.
