    Went back to check and I'll apologize as I was looking at the wrong info, it was 77% on crabs/mandies and around 60% vs ravens. All mobs were decent challenge versions, never touched the EPs.

    I do lots of mandies, I know you didn't get a 23% monster accuracy rate on them. Something is wrong with your parser or it's counting blinked attacks as "miss's".

    If you were doing the DC loop of crows -> mandies then did you run across the zone to the crabs or do the ones on the beach nearby?

    Mandies are MNKs and have A+ skill for accuracy. Crabs are PLDs and have the same A+ skill. Birds are thieves and have A- skill. Evasion is nothing but accuracy in reverse, it's rather easy to figure out. 2 AGI = 1 evasion, 2 evasion = -1% to enemy accuracy. When evasion = enemy accuracy you will have a 25% evasion rate (monster 75% hit rate). You don't get LCF so there isn't any +4 evasion / level bonus.

    Level 97 A accuracy 403 = 382.7 [382] accuracy
    Level 99 C- evasion 368 = 351.2 [351] evasion
    EBII +22 evasion

    So naked your looking at 373 evasion vs 381 accuracy, or a 79% hit rate from the monster prior to AGI vs DEX. It takes 4 AGI over the monsters DEX to reduce it's hit rate by 1% and you have 56% worth of hit rate to go through. 56 * 2 = 112 worth of +evasion required.

    And you want to say, with a straight face, that your wearing 25% haste while having that 100~112 worth of +evasion equipped and fighting these level 95~97 monsters.

    It is certainly possible. I'm not going to pretend I've got the most optimal set out of the listed gear here, nor that this is all the gear that exists (although it might be), but I'll piece one together from the listed gear as an example.

    AGI/EVA/Haste Gear
    • Job Traits - /THF or /DNC Evasion Bonus II - Eva+22
      Spell set Evasion Bonus I - Eva+10
    • Weapons - Shikargar - AGI+11 Eva+22
      Ephemeron - AGI+15 Haste+3%
    • Ranged/Ammo - Aliyat Chakram - AGI+6 Eva+6
      OR Hasty Pinion - Haste+1%
    • Head - Theia's Hairpin - AGI+6 Eva+9
      OR Fugacity Beret - Eva +12
      OR Denali Bonnet - AGI+4 Eva+3 Haste+4%
      OR Zelus Tiara - Eva-5 Haste+8%
      OR Oce. Headpiece +1 - AGI+13 Haste+7%
    • Neck - Torero Torque - Eva+9
      OR Tiercel Necklace Haste+1%
    • Ear - Evader Earring +1 - Eva+8
    • Body - Athos Tabard - AGI+15 Eva+7
      OR Thaumas Coat - Haste +4%
      OR Tessera Saio - AGI+13 Haste+3%
    • Hands - Kacura Mittens +1 - AGI+5 Eva+12
      OR Ocelot Gloves - AGI+8 Haste+3%
      OR Thaumas Gloves - AGI+8 Haste+3%
      OR Alucinor Mitts / Miodio Gloves - Haste+4%
    • Ring - Alert Ring - Eva+6
      Heed Ring - Eva+3
    • Back - Boxer's Mantle - Eva+10
      OR Fugacity Mantle - AGI+3 Eva+11
    • Waist - Scouter's Rope - AGI+4 Eva+10
      OR Phasmida Belt - Eva+6 Haste+6%
      OR Phos Belt +1 - Haste +8%
    • Leg - Kacura Subligar +1 - AGI+8 Eva+15
      OR Ocelot Trouser's - Eva+10 Haste+4%
      OR Thaumas Kecks - Haste+6%, AGI+9
    • Feet - Athos's Boots - AGI+10 Eva+5 Haste+3%

    Example Capped Haste & 100+ Evasion Set (not the only possible combination)
    • Job Traits - Spell set Evasion Bonus I - Eva+10
    • Ranged/Ammo - Aliyat Chakram - AGI+6 Eva+6
    • Head - Oce. Headpiece +1 - AGI+13 Haste+7%
    • Neck - Torero Torque - Eva+9
    • Ear - Evader Earring +1 - Eva+8
    • Body - Thaumas Coat - Haste +4%
    • Hands - Kacura Mittens +1 - AGI+5 Eva+12
    • Ring - Alert Ring - Eva+6
      Heed Ring - Eva+3
    • Back - Fugacity Mantle - AGI+3 Eva+11
    • Waist - Phos Belt +1 - Haste +8%
    • Leg - Ocelot Trouser's - Eva+10 Haste+4%
    • Feet - Athos's Boots - AGI+10 Eva+5 Haste+3%

    Note that the above set, while probably not being the best possible combination (it is just an example), doesn't restrict your subjob, nor does it restrict your weapon choices, and it only takes minimal spell slots to get the trait (considering that an Evasion minded Blue Mage will already be setting Occultation, and it only takes an additional 3~5 more spell points to activate the trait). This set will get you capped Haste and ~106 Evasion (using combined +Eva and +AGI). You can either use /DNC or a weapon to knock it up a notch or to get this with some easier gear, particularly if you are in Dynamis where soloing harder mobs is likely.
