Yeah using the word "evasive" with DRK seems weird. Since the theme seems to be manipulating darkness, I would have thought damage shields made of dark energy would be more in line with DRK than it being evasive. Well, unless the darkness somehow enhances the DRK's movement and strength to a point they would be evasive in heavy armor. Kind of how a jedi knight uses the force to enhance their physical attributes.

Seeing that the armor pretty much screams "my power comes from the void, yo", it might not be a farfetched guess.
