PoE 2 Evasion Guide: Dodge Like a Pro

Evasion isn’t just RNG—here’s how to break the system, avoid one-shots, and farm god-tier gear without wasting months.

Evasion in Path of Exile 2 is your ticket to surviving endgame boss slams and bullet-hell projectiles. But most players get shredded because they don’t understand entropy, scaling tricks, or how to exploit gear tags. Let’s fix that—plus a sneaky shortcut for impatient grinders.

Evasion 101: How to Never Get Hit (Seriously)

Chance to Evade Formula:

Evasion% = (Your Evasion Rating) / (Your Evasion + Attacker’s Accuracy) × 100

• Cap: 95% evasion (5% min hit chance).
• Entropy Secret: PoE 2 uses a hidden “counter” to prevent lucky/unlucky streaks.
  • First hit rolls entropy (0-99). Add attacker’s hit chance. If ≥100, you get hit.
  • Pro Tip: Stack Blind (reduces enemy Accuracy) to break entropy faster.

Evasion vs. Crits:

• Evasion gives a second chance to downgrade crits to normal hits.

Best Ways to Scale Evasion (Meta Builds)

Gear Bases:

• Dexterity Armor: Helms, Gloves, Boots with high evasion rolls.
• Local Mods: “+X% Evasion” on gear > global passives early-game.

Keystones:

• Acrobatics: Evade AoE/slams but lose 70% evasion. Only for dodge-roll gods.
• Iron Reflexes: Convert evasion to armor (tank hybrid builds).

Blind Abuse:

• Link Blind Support to skills like Spectral Throw.
• Use Bramblejack (unique armor) for perma-blind on hit.

Evasion Cheat Sheet

Skip the Grind: Secret SSEGOLD Hack

Crafting BiS evasion gear takes 500+ chaos orbs and RNG luck. For players who’d rather slay bosses than farm:

• SSEGOLD’s PoE 2 services deliver high-evasion bases, crafted rares, and currency (like Exalted Orbs) instantly.
• Why waste time? Grab a pre-rolled Acrobatics-ready set and focus on gameplay.

TL;DR: Evasion Mastery

• Stack local evasion mods on Dex gear.
• Abuse Blind + Entropy to cheat RNG.
• Buy BiS evasion gear securely via SSEGOLD—because grinding 20 hours for a 5% roll isn’t “hardcore,” it’s insanity.
