Evade

From Guild Wars Wiki

As of the update on 1st of Feb. 2007, this mechanic has been permanently removed from the game. All instances of Evade have been replaced by Block.

This mechanic worked exactly like Block, causing attacks to deal no damage. The only difference was the trigger effect of some skills only activated on Evade but not on Block. For example, Sun and Moon Slash used to read that one attack could not be evaded while the other could not be blocked.
