Question regarding DEX and Evasion

[phalaeo]

Hi folks-
Looking to re-distribute some stats on my 18 CLR/ 2 MNK and I need some input on the target range that my Reflex save needs to be in for Evasion to be worthwhile.

I don't want to gimp my Evasion by lowering Base DEX too much, but I know that I can make up for some of that through enhancements, Shroud crafting, and feats.

What number do I shoot for when running stuff through the character planner?

Depends on if you want to aim for evading Spells (which needs lower reflex) or traps in high levels.

For example you need to roll a 35 to evade the spikes in monastery of the scorpion on normal. So i would say 30+ or better 35+ reflex for endgame traps.

To evade spells 25 reflex is already pretty useful.

It's nice to save on the occasional trap, but I'm not soloing, and I'm in a group with someone with DD skills almost 100% of the time.

I'd rather evade spells- I can always top myself off with a scroll if I take half damage, but I can't do anything while knocked on my rear, or dangerously low on HP in a matter of seconds.

Current Reflex save, starting DEX 15, no enhancements- 22

Unbuffed and with +6 DEX item, includes Racial Dex and Halfling enhancement line for saves.
Starting DEX dropped from 15 to 13
Reflex save of 21.
Add +5 Resistance for 26, and +4 from GH for 30. Recitation/HoGF for 32, and I can still do +2 Exceptional on Shroud crafted.

Drop it 2 points further to 11, and my Reflex save only goes down one point to 20. So, I get 4 precious stat points and in exchange, my Reflex save goes down 2 points? I mean, I have to put some APs into it, but that seems worth it to me.

Since you're not a trap monkey, high20s low30s (buffed) is good enough.
