New Keystone idea for evasion/life builds

Idea for new Keystone that evasion builds would benefit as currently they are really weak compared to ES/Evasion builds.

Keystone:
Double deflection chance.
You have no Energy Shield.

Good idea but tradeoff is not enough imo. It should say something like "Additional movement speed from equipment and passives is reduced by 50%" assuming that keystone makes you more sturdy but slower as result.

double deflection chance = always deflect
Low investment too to reach 50% deflect, trade off could be like X% less evation rating to make it a bit harder to cap deflect.

Pretty sure they'd make it so that it wont be worth it lol

Try it like this:

Chance to deflect is 100%
You have no Evasion, Armor, Energy Shield
You have 50% less life
You deal 10% less damage
Mana is reduced by 30%
Damage Over Time deals damage 100% faster


Now that's more inline with the uniques and passives with disproportionate kiss curse we are all used to ;) That would have you required to invest most of your build into deflect damage reduction and ignite/poison/bleed reduction/immunity to make it overcome the negative side, and no one will ever try because it's obviously not worth it.

Have you tried Eternal Youth? I'm doing an Evasion-only challenge run right now, and I turned Eternal Youth on, then turned it off, because I was using a flask when I got damaged, so the recharge never hit. I might try again when I have more deflection.

The only characters in HC who seem to use Eternal Youth are blood mages btw.

GGG would have to look at how your new keystone would interact with Eternal Youth. Might be OP.

So updated version would be:

Keystone:
You gain 38% deflection chance.
Your Evasion is 45% less.
You have no Energy Shield or Armour.
