The game seems to need more evasion gear besides just earrings.

For example, I noticed while working on Pugilist that it has actions that revolve around evasion. Especially since it seems to have weapon skills that require evading an attack to use much like a Gladiator's Phalanx requiring blocks to use. The imbalance that I noticed is that Gladiator has plenty of gear to boost their defense way up, but a Pugilist does not have much gear at all besides earrings to boost their evasion stat.

If there was more evasion gear in the game, then a Pugilist can boost their evasion stat more and evade attacks more often. That way they can use their evasion weapon skills more often like a Gladiator can with Phalanx via blocks.

Pugilist seems poised to be the class that paves the way for "evasion tanking" and to the Ninja job and it should begin by accommodating more gear in the evasion department. Or am I thinking or playing Pugilist totally wrong here? Or is the lack of evasion gear currently in the game not an issue?

Just curious what everyone thinks about this.
