But seeing as we can't get enough evades to dodge anything... why even bring it up? Personally, I don't even IP evades. I had them when I was still using bow for pvp but dropped them when I switched to pistol. My survivability didn't decrease. At all.
There is no way to use DVP to avoid a perk alpha because that'd require you to know exactly when your opponent is pressing his perk keys.. which you can't. Nevermind the simple fact that a single hud item renders the one tool you're basing this setup on 60% ineffective.
Just about every pvp engineer runs around in an identical setup. There may be one or two components missing and a few perks different, but in general, the equip tabs look the same. If there were some uber evade setup out there, I'm sure someone would have found it by now. The fact is, there isn't one so nobody bothers. There is one mantra that is universal amongst all pvp engineers. Perks are what kill us, so get enough AS to cap recharge and stack on HP and hope you kill the other guy before he kills you. There is no other way.
