    Default I should know this about Mithral Body but...

    DDO Wiki and in game the Mithral Body Feat says it counts as light armor. Evasion works with light armor so Mithral Body should work with Evasion right?

    Keep in mind that mithril body has a pathetically low dexterity/dodge cap. (like 5 as I recal)

    Unfortunately when Turbine revised armors, they didn't make Mithril Body's MDB automatically scale with char lvl. So while other epic toons w/lt armor have MDB 13 (chain) or 18 (leather), you're still stuck @ MDB 5. You can increase it with Mithril Fluidity, Mobility, Gtr Nimbleness, etc.; but considering how important Dodge bonuses are (which are capped by your MDB), it still sucks that it's so low.

    Default Thanks yall!

    I was considering Mithral Body as an option for my 2Ftr/2Rogue/16Arti WF SWF. I ended up with more Feats than what I really needed and was looking for a level 24 option. Up to level 23 I got by beautifully with Blur/Displace Scrolls, Stoneskin and 29 PRR from Guardians Ring and Battle Engineer Core (all of which I needed considering the 0% Dodge and 5% chance of defense at level)

    With the level 23/24 gear change I got up to 52% defense chance and about 10% Dodge in addition to Displacement and 10 DR from Stoneskin or Unbreakable stance (leveling US to open up Divine Sphere)

    I didn't think +10 AC from Mithral Body was gonna make much of difference over and above Quick Draw considering how often I Scroll/Wand/Potion.

    I played the first couple epic levels in Capped LD and was really happy with the damage output. Leveling these off destinies can be a pain but they do offer a lot in the way of defenses/saves to offset the lack of DPS.
