Thread: Is armor break slice broken

so I thought ab slice was intended to increase the chance that the armor break would not stick. you are making it sound instead like when an armor break sticks on me the ab slice makes it not quite as painful? hmmm...

The AB slice reduced the damage output when you are hit by AB. A 75% chance of AB not sticking would be way to powerful to say the least.

I sorta liked the idea of it taking them 4 tries to get it to stick and that didn't sound too overpoweredbut the way you guys explain it is far better imho
This is now to the attention of others on the smugglers forum. link below
This is WesBelden's territory as the Smuggler Correspondent
However, he is aware of the situation and is checking into it

*Note* When Wes mentions that he "meant to start a thread on this a few days ago..." he's referring to when I originally gave him the heads up after another hunter gave me the heads up

Here's a thought (for those of you who like the nerf word (and use it more often than not incorrectly)): it isn't broken, it is fixed. It was previously not working as intended, but now it is.
It does nothing now. Same damage unsliced armor as sliced armor. I've tested it.
Could some one please explain to me how this is suppposed to work. Since pub 24 I seem to be taking a ton more damage, enough more that I started looking for broken armor and such. With nothing evident from my armor I went and did some tests.
on unsliced assault armor
armor prvented 185 of 448 or 41% of the damage un-armor broken
and
with armor break 65 of 448 or 14% of the damage
Armor break reduced the armor effectivness by 27%
On 75% armor break sliced armor the results are
un-broken 492 of 900 for 54.6%
Broken 339 of 940for 36%
Armor break reduced the effect by 18%
So at this point I am lost, if 18% is only the 25% of the break that would put the total break at 76%. But the unsliced armour only lost 27% of the total so I would exspect the sliced stuff to lose 6 or 7%
