The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
Sidestep Strike and Furious Feint nodes for EQ

Has this node combination worked in a practical sense for you, and how so?
I find it actually counter productive when I use the qualifying champions.
My spider person will get the evade charge, and then either:
(1) I get hit because the Defender is not Unblockable cause I had apparently avoided the unblockable attack
(2) I get hit because my champion does evade the Unblockable attack, but by the time I realize and move in to attack, the stun wears off and I get intercepted.
I do much better when I just ignore the tags, and focus on just dexing an Unblockable.
I know it just requires more practice, but are people generally finding this to be a beneficial node combination?

I finished exploration while basically never relying on the node mechanics because:
1) the stun would activate when I didn't want it to
2) either I'm too old and my reflexes are incredibly slow or this stun duration is basically useless. I was only able to capitalize on the passive stun maybe 2-3/10 times.
3) it's just not a fun mechanic and doesn't make the fights more interesting in any way IMO
I could see it possibly being an alright mechanic if the number of evade charges increased the stun duration to the point where the defender can be KO'd while stunned given sufficient evade charges have been built.
Had a blast chaining heavies with S99
Hold block.
You will evade when they try to hit you which will stun them.
After Evade stun, counter with heavy.
Repeat.
This should help
