Do you really have to ask???


There's still several specials that don't seem to work at all for any pets.



Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

Yeah, I just wondered if they made the system so that BE crafted stats could not be changed on purpose. I know some things are still very screwed up....

Does a wild CL 15 get any benefit from Thick Skin? If it is a multiplier instead of additive, then you probably won't see any change in resistance.

Didn't think of that, I'll find something with some armor.

Ok, I ran a test with a level 69 BE pet. The Thick Skin Ability did work after I stored and recalled the pet. Note, it did not update the armor rating in the datapad. My level 69 Gurreck now is absorbing approximately 51% of the damage dealt to him, up from 40% with his default armor rating of 4609.!

Yes, thank you. I had been wondering about that myself.

May not be news, here but I wanted to post for general awareness. I trained a level 15 BE pet (armor 0) with Thick Skin L1. The pet took the ability without problem, butthe datapad did not have an updated armor value. More importantly, the pet continued to receive full damage from mobs without any armor reduction. I'm guessing the same thing applies to speed, defense, and critical hit/save mods. Is this by design or another dev screwup?

Last update, I trained the level 69 BE Gurreck with Thick Skin 3, and he is absorbing 55.5% of damage, so almost an 8000 armor rating. The wild level 70 shear mite solider with Thick Skin L3 absorbed 56% of damage for a full 8000 armor rating FYI.
