I've seen some posts poo poo evade window with a "git gud" mentality but I think its just as useful as a utility vs using it because your reaction time sucks

People call literally every defensive skill a crutch and then proceed to complain about getting one-shot. Don't worry about it.
Honestly EW falls under utility for me than defensive. It opens up a lot more chances to get damage in, and makes existing damage chances easier to acquire.
It's a comfort defensive skill that lets you more safely play closer and more aggressively, particularly in cases where monsters have attacks with large hitboxes, and even in many cases makes it so you can i-frame through attacks that last too long for the default i-frames.
And yeah, it's nigh mandatory on weapons like charge blade because of it.
Evade window mandatory on CB? Just guard point, it's significantly better and creates openings for follow-ups. Evade Window is better on weapons that don't already have good defensive options, like Dual Blades or SwAxe.
They likely meant savage axe CB instead of SAED CB, two completely different playstyle.
Oh, that's right. I don't play savage axe so I forget it's even a thing.
SA is the secret 15th weapon in the game.
Also, I wouldn't say DB doesn't have a good defensive option lol.
What does DB have in World other than evading?
Genuinely curious, I know it has the counter Silkbind in Rise, but what am I missing?
Demon mode dash has increased i frames compared to normal dash. It's almost dark souls dodge level in mh.
You also have plenty of quick moves to reposition.
