Hm.. Since we can only have 1 class upgrade....

Rogue Evade or Resistance IV?

Which one is better?

[WAR LORD]

i go for resistance

[labalaba]

Why isn't there a both option? I thought you can switch mid-battle?
Use resistance when saving tokens, use evade when ready to attack and healed

[RABID]

evade is nice when it works, but when you get tagged, it's for over twice the damage as you'd take using IV.

[ae81]

evade sometimes much effective

If you're a PvP build and wins a lot... then resistance IV is your pick.
If you're not good at PvP and you lost most of your duel, I think evade would be better.

[mudunpapat]

vote for resistance

evade only for rogue, and it's rarely works for me

Resistance 4 is almost always better. Let's do some math:

1) Resistance 4 will save you 40 dmg per token (win or lose).

2) Evade has a 20% chance to do 0 dmg (win or lose), so if you win all that means that on average you receive 80/5 = 16 dmg less per token. If you lose everything against a non-rogue you receive 150/5 = 30 dmg less per token, which is still not as good as res 4. Only when suiciding against a rogue or when a rogue attacks you equiping evade would be better, but if you are smart you should leave the suiciding up to those who are already stunned anyway.

I guess rogues should wait for extra slots to become available so they can equip both resistance 4 and evade. That would make them quite effective.

That is a very good advice and backed with a very good math!
But there is a pshycological effect when someone hit you and you evade them, they would probably leave you for a while... But again evade is chance, and some people just have the luck to evade 3 times in a row when you attacked them. (personal experience against a fellow rogue)

And when that happen, people would probably complain about rogue being overpowered
