The thing i used to do when i was close to him was blink through so the first hit misses, then blink away a second time for good measure as sometimes he comes around and smacks ya.

Hey there!
For most classes (including evie) in this game, all black hammer's attacks can be fairly easy to avoid with proper positioning and running. Simply put there are two basics:
1) Maintain a decent range, run in a counter-clockwise direction around black hammer to avoid at least his first two strikes. 2) You can dodge his final strike with running, or simply blink toward a safer direction (most your right side) at the beginning of his 2nd/final strike, timing needs to adjust accordingly.
Here is a friend of mine solo'd him with Spear. Although Spear Lann is a different class but you will find this general idea applies universally.
