Crit avoidance mods worth it?

I use crit evasion on my shoretrooper. He seems to be always tanking so it helps his live longer. If I were to use critical avoidance on others, I would believe secondary speed is needed to help mitigate the loss of +30 primary stat. My shoretrooper has a +9. Not great, but not bad either.

@Nebulous

have you tried with and without that mod?

or you went straight to it?

EDIT;
just went to event to see what leaders use on him, and it's truly mixed between crit avoidance, protection and speed

In my opinion, the crit avoidance mod is useful in three instances:

1) the character is tanky and exists to soak up damage and so you don't care what they're speed is ex. royal guard, fives
2) you're able to make up the speed difference with strong speed secondaries on other mods
3) you pull the rare crit avoidance mod that has a really strong speed secondary

They would probably be helpful against lando teams

That was kinda my thinking. So many teams rely on critical hits. I see a lot of people increase crit chance/damage. So I wonder how effective some of these teams would be if they aren't getting critical hits.

I have a +12 speed crit avoidance I was going to use on shoretrooper If make it into the top 100. Either that or use it on RG.

I use one on RG.

Somebody looked at the numbers on either this forum or Reddit and it was a more efficient way to limit damage than defense.

That was a while back though, probably before protection was such a big factor, so I wonder if it's better than a protection primary arrow

Protection is probably the least helpful. He likes health for his frequent heals. His ehp is already super high. I find that crit avoidance with secondary speed mods is better than flat speed.

I use it on my RG and my gut tells me 5K additional protection from a protection mod pales in comparison to avoiding critical damage.

12 is great speed. Mine is only 9. So you speed is almost half the primary but you also have the crit avoidance. To me, a great mod for shoretrooper.
