Illusion is tied or even better.

But it's not a guarantee against being hit. It's certainly useful and very cheap and also has the advantage that it works against spells and missiles, but it doesn't protect against the lucky blow. I generally prefer Avert, especially against single powerful foes, but Blur is good where there are multiple opponents and perhaps ranged attacks.
