avoidance %

I am only level 20, but my avoidance is 40%. Is this consistant throughout the life of the necro? Because i can almost look past the poor mitigation with that high avoidaing +8% from parry. thats 48%! am I getting my hopes up? does it start to tone down?

to be honest i dont think it matters much - you can up and down it depending what gear you buy but the reality is that when you solo or are in a small group without a proper tank you will use your tank pet (which will take the aggro) and when in big group or raid you will use mage or scout pet and the main tank will be getting thumped not you anyway. if you do get aggro you will probably hit feign death pretty quick or you're in trouble. you can get various gear that decreases your threat and an AA line spell that moves your pet up the threat list but really as a cloth wearer you dont want to be aiming to take aggro unless it's unavoidable. it wouldnt be worth buying agility gear to increase avoidance at the expense of intelligence or stamina.
