It can cut your opponent's accuracy by 1/2

Here's an example of debuff characters from the calculator

Can tell by accuracy in PVE if the description is right...


And no I am not going LA (or even HA on a wizard class... Not even cleric, mystic or psy because DEX on them is utterly useless beyond 40 DEX by gear only because evasion adds by 2 each DEX) http://pwcalc.com/0f4b9c671dc61d0f

In your opinion, is it worth it?

Edit: Mind the sharding, I am just messing around with it. I have noticed by the misses from my opponents my spells can't get canceled. I also expect some trolling / flaming because evasion is a stat that is controversial to most people.

It's not a controversial stat, it's a useless stat. It won't even effect sins or archers, and you'll rarely see it work against barbs or bms. Not to mention if anything hits you, you're going to go squish.

To add to this point, any self respecting phys character has at least 1 +50% accuracy ring so SS them for the -acc becomes moot (this does not mean SS is idiotic, I'm quite fond of the skill)

Sandstorm one of my very favorite skills...even in end game. Great power and a visually dramatic finisher. Excellent for use in a sutra combo such as sutra>SS>spark>DevPyro which usually ends the argument with anything not R9. Dont even care about the accuracy effects which are just frosting on the cake. Criticized because its slow caster...i dont care.

btw: they raging about frost glitch in general discussion. lol should read some of that
