Last Epoch Roadmap

We also want to have the freedom to design harder and more dynamic boss encounters. Some new boss mechanics could heavily benefit from being able to get out of danger quickly. In the past, most players take a traversal ability, however not all do. This means that we have not been able to design encounters with abilities that too strongly encourage a movement burst, as it would force players to take a traversal ability in their limited ability loadout. Adding Evade allows us to design encounters knowing that all characters have access to move out of danger quickly. This does not mean that every fight will exclusively focus on fast-reaction one-shot mechanics. This is another tool that we can use to make new styles of boss fights. The degree to which Evade is encouraged to be used in boss fights will be varied to fit the mechanics of that individual fight.

While we’re finding many previously designed encounters that do benefit from this new mechanic, we will continue to update previous encounters with slight mechanic updates that may benefit from the use of evade if it fits with that particular boss encounter.

It sure sounds like you’re planning on leaving us older gamers without ninja reflexes in the dust. Even more so than we already are.
