Acrobatic really usefull ?
I am new to the poe game, in this case poe 2 and i play a monk.
I read in this section and some mentioned acrobatic as a necessary skill.
Ingame it says nothing can hit you but 70% less avoidness.
This sounds crazy because when nothing hit me i dont need any avoid and
can spend it completely in shield mechanics ?

If there are any players who can help me with my issues.

doesn't it say you can evade all but suck now at evading?

dodging aoe is better... like let's say you can't dodge the aoe, you've maybe 50% chance thanks to the game, when you don't overlvl evade. and for the normal attacks everything hits you easier

yeah you normally can't evade everything, I think it's only physical hits.

If you're running purely Evasion, then Acrobatics is really good, because you end up with a really good dodge chance anyway. If you're running Evasion/Energy Shield, you're better off leaning into the shield aspect more because energy shield is the strongest defense in the game right now.

how do you handle chaos as EV/ES build? Getting immunity to chaos? or chaos res to 75%

If I'm not immune to it, some attacks even hit me for 5k ES, those chaos snakes from the mages (double damage chaos to ES)

If you're not running Chaos Inoculation, then yeah, your only other choice is capping your Chaos resistance.

Think about it this way though, you have the luxury of taking a 5k damage hit and surviving. Only energy shield can do that.

You can evade any strike and projectile hit, not just physical. What you can't dodge are aoes. Which is what acrobatics does, making you able to evade aoe hits.

Only those that come from a hit. Explosions and projectiles from on death effects will work. Reflected damage though, I'm not so sure.
