-All characters can benefit from more [[EV]], but using a ring slot for it may or may not be a good idea depending on your other resistances. Unlike some amulets, rings take effect immediately, so you can quickly switch between them at need.
+All characters can benefit from more [[EV]], but using a ring slot for it may or may not be a good idea depending on your other resistances. Unlike [[amulet]]s, though, you can quickly swap between rings.
 Rings of evasion are more effective, on average, than a [[ring of protection]]. However, [[AC]] is more ''reliable'' than EV; with evasion, you either dodge or you don't. If you already have high AC, then a ring of evasion can be a good defensive choice (AC has a somewhat diminishing return, since it can't reduce attacks below 0)

-All characters can benefit from more [[EV]], but sacrificing a ring slot for it may or may not be a good idea depending on your other resistances. Unlike most amulets, rings take effect immediately, so you can quickly switch between them at need. A ring of evasion is more likely to be useful for characters with low EV; mechanically, there is a much greater difference between 5 and 9 compared to 25 and 29.
