Okay, I've got a question about the evade stat for a weapon, is that always on? Is it only on when you have the "Weapon Guard" ability set? If it is always on, what stat figures into "Weapon Guard". And is the percent to block with weapon added onto your evasion like a shield or is it a seperate chance, like having a seperate say 10% chance to block with weapon, on top of a 70% chance, making it two seperate "rolls" for each one? Or do they just not stack at all? My favorite thing to do is to make an opponent unhittable, love mantles, Esteucheon II, and the such.

Sorry for the question being not so quick.

I'm almost 100% sure that A) it is only active when Weapon Guard is on and B) it rolls separately from shields, mantles, Blade Grasp, and a class's natural evade. I personally prefer Abandon, Blade Grasp, and the ____ Save reactions to Weapon Guard, so I never care about a weapon's evade stats.

I concur with laszlow. I usually go with blade grasp and raise brave (with a mediator or ramza; praise and cheer, respectively) for all my front line fighters. A 97/96 Brave with blade grasp means nobody hits you but once in a blue moon.
