And unless someone carried out a test over a month ago on a hundred or so mobs to get a good average and then repeated the test since the mini VU, then I can't really think of any way that it is proveable.

Not to say that Evade is useless but it's certainly my opinion that its usefulness is less than it was.
That doesn't mean evade is less effective, it mean the mob has a high hit rate. even though the are nub mobs, exasaur, combibo and cornundos all have incredibly high to-hit for their level of mob.

As discussed in other threads, they might hit you 1/3 times today, but tomorrow maybe 1/5. Thats EU. It changes.

I notice the huge benefit of evade vs mobs such as : phasm, neconu, formicacida, atrox, atrax, cornanterion, aurli, kreltin

re: armour
i think a noob in ghost+5b/6a looks just fine. That's what I did and i couldn't figure out why everyone would say 'oh but gremlin has XXX dura' when gremlin sucks. For noobs as least. 4 points impact is a huge difference when you are hit every time. It's the difference between life and death a lot of the time when your hp is <120 and you faint at the sight of atrox provider.
