Stallic.2397 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Does anyone even use this trait?? The other two options are either Damage Boost or Support which are much more desired picks Vigor is obviously Defensive because more evades means more survivability. But Spectacular Sphere already gives that boon. Plus, three more as well. Combined with Energized Elements, you can practically cast a sphere with every attunement swap (3 out of every 4 realistically). So it wouldn't be difficult attaining Vigor. Given that understanding, what's the point of Evasive Empowerment? The 2 stacks of Elemental Empowerment is nice, but not enough to make me pick it. Maybe buff it to 3 stacks? 4? What about a different boon like Resolution or Aegis? Without it, seems like the weakest trait of the bunch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny.7260 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Evasive Empowerment was initially used in PvP when people were still figuring out Catalyst. It serves as an alternative to Invigorating Precision on the Arcane Line. (Albeit the other two options aren't as good right now.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephen.3420 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 It's kinda become one of those forgotten traits. I think I only tried it initially when still figuring how much was needed to gain stacks. Don't really need it anymore, and probably wasn't as useful/reliable as some thought in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissarion.6509 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 All the "on evade" traits are useless in PvE more or less, they are just for PvP which you actually required to dodge a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downstate.4697 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Its good for builds that want to maximimize empowered empowerment. Could be a valid option in wvw, but the other grand masters are picked for pve and pvp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhaid Zhem.6508 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Even if in theory Evasive Empowerment is THE pvp/wvw master trait : the EE grandmaster is garbage, you better want the stab or the boons in group, and in master you already have vigor on the other trait, or you want to the dps buff on auras + you have a lot of source of vigor/endurance in other traits and skills = Evasive Empowerment is relatively bad 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
