In light of the recent hyper-inflation on uber armor I began rethinking my offense (dmg/sec) approach to hunting. I came across much of the Wiki data presented (and exquisitely embellished on) in this thread regarding the evader professional standing.
I don't pretend to completely understand the data in these charts but the conclusion I came to is that at around Evader 27.5 professional standing you optimize your ability to avoid hits from a mob. I chipped evade and avoidance up to evader 30 professional standing for a fraction of the cost of an armor upgrade.
I have only tested my newfound skills on Aurli and Kreltin (why are these mobs explicitly excluded in your comments?) so far and certainly not with the exactness required by Doer's study. But the results are very good.
