You can do evasion if you redefine what it means to "evade". It could be something simple like having some form of damage reduction on the next 5 attacks (i.e. gain 5 stacks, every time you receive an attack, reduce the damage received by 20% of your current health).

I wish GNB had gone this route, with abilities like Camouflage. Likewise when a certain GNB in the MSQ used "Perfect Deception". It strikes me as more interesting than the present set of cooldowns. I also wish that there was a stagger-like mechanic in this game.
