What about swapping the Viper RA out for Dodger? Read many complaints about DoTs bypassing armor/defenses and/or dying to 500ish DoT dmg after winning the fight. Now this wouldn't get rid of 3x DoTs, but it would cut the dmg by about 20%.

Evade is also the only defense that is impossible to reach the hard cap on. Reasons being:
1. not a spec line
2. stat benefits hard cap at 500 dex/qui combined (very easy to hit)
3. Lack of RA

Though don't even know if a swap like that is even possible.

i like that idea even though i think that this would make assassins even stronger!
but in fact i think assasins are good as they are right now, cant understand all the complains.. maybe return to the point where the debuff hits after PA.

Stealth doesn’t need a better defence. There are many ways to counter a dot or reduce its effectiveness. It is their role to kill quickly. However, if we give them a way to increase their evade, it will be even worse. You’re gonna take the evade chain style over and over again.

So let me get this right. The proposal is to remove viper, which is only a problem as it relates to the other issues with assassins on Phoenix, in order to replace it with an even more powerful ability?

Viper’s power level is tied to the fact that assassins can leverage it fully while gaining spec points each realm level and that it contributes to a critical mass of magic damage when combined with stacking Phoenix’s buffed DoT procs. As a stand-alone ability it is very strong, but manageable.
