Oh shit this 2600 damage magic nuke is about to hit me! Will I get a partial resist? Maybe? Possibly?
One produces certain results, the other is a gamble in the best of cases. Meva is s uperior in the case that a partial resist procs because of it, but that's not a sure thing or even a highly likely thing. If you have to give up your first line of defense to get more magic evasion, it doesn't seem like a good idea to me. magic evasion is RNG based and may or may not happen when you really need it, and it might mean needing to retry the fight until it works at the right time.
