Note: The evade % listed by each armor is how much your evade % goes DOWN when you equip it. Think about it, if you wore heavy armor, you wouldn't be as fast. Therefore, the best kind of armor is one with a high absorb and a low evade % (like a bracelet). Does this mean that something like Chain Armor (15 absorb, 15 evade %) is pointless to wear or that Iron Armor (24 absorb, 23 evade %) and Steel Armor (34 absorb, 33 evade %) have the same effectiveness? No! It is much more to your advantage for a character to have a high absorb and a low evade % then the other way around. Therefore, strive to have the highest absorb rating you can get.
