Evade stat going down?

[microwine]

new to poe2 why is my estimated chance to evade number going down?
whenever i put a dexterity node on or level up the number goes down by 1..
wouldn't it go up if im putting dex nodes in?
not sure if this is a bug or im just missing something? any help appreciated

It should go up. Unless you're missing something it's a bug.

yeah i noticed that as well, something wrong with it.

just to check, you're not looking at the wrong number right? there's evasion RATING and then there's estimated evasion chance (in percentage)

the latter is what alot of other players coming into the POE franchise is familiar. it also goes down when you level up and you haven't upgraded anything substantially. that's because the game guesses what you're about to do in the game based on your level.

the reason is the level up.
the higher your level is the more points in evasion you need to maintain that performance (the %)

That makes no sense. He said he just invested in dexterity, it should go up regardless not down.

yes there's more to the story because you'll need more and more later. its diminishing returns. look for other things to help out on evasion/dodge related things. i know blind as a mechanic is in the game.

Its the same for armor.

Dexterity doesn't provide evasion.
Strength doesn't provide damage.
Intelligence doesn't provide ES.

This is not PoE 1.

Dex only provides Accuracy.
Strength +2 life.
Intelligence provides mana.

What can I say, very intuitive mechanics.

if thats the case with the level up it seems like a trap and i should just respec into damage :( im not sure i like that fact if its true i wanted to create a full evasion build.. hope its a bug

So what provides evasion then? Only equipment and specific nodes?

Evasion provides Evasion. Just that. If you have 100 evasion on your gear, that's all you got. Then you raise it with passives on tree.

There are also nodes that help you. Like deal damage based on 5 STR. or Gain damage per every 5 dex or 15. I'm not sure.

Ok. Thanks.

If you level up you become weaker, that's why your armor and evasion % goes down

i wish it was stated somewhere early on that as u level your evasion/armour decreases i was totally unaware. now i might have to rethink my build and respec into damage which sucks as i was going for something in particular. respecs should be free.
