I did some testing with a def stacker in my guild.


Me- MCarb/ BH 3444 / NBrawler at the time


Him- 100 def vs Stun, Dizzy (without attachments I beleive)

80 Def vs Blind with another 20+ in attachments

80 or so Def vs Int (total) with attachments


I used full auto single and confusion shot. I was NEVER able to stun or dizzy him after 100 shots. I was able to blind him after 7-8 shots.


I was able to intimidate him afer 3-4 tries, very easily.



So I think attachments for defense might not be working. Also, I think Intimidate as previously mentioned in this forum is WAY too strong

Hi all,


Would just like to say thanks to all who contribute to the carbineer forum. It is one of the nicest forums to read with a much higher %age of constructive comments and useful information (I am MBH/MC so have to tread the dodgy terrain of the BH forum which seems to be flamed by disgruntled jedi most of the time).


Anyway, seeing as this forum is a great source of information, i was wondering if any of you could help me with getting a better understanding of my "Defense Vs xxxxxx" skill modifiers and how our states work in relation to those defense modifiers. It seems with alot of skill modifiers, they are not much use until they are high or nearly capped.. What would be a good modifier for the defenses? 40 or 50 or 100?


I understand that something like ranged defense comes basically down to something along the lines of "your targets accuracy compared to your ranged defense" and unless your ranged defense is higher than the accuracy of your target, it doesnt come into play.


And i have read alot (not all of it yet) ofthe information you have posted about counter attack and understand that alot better now. Thanks for that.


Now i am trying to get a better understanding of these defense vs skill mods. I tried to search but the forum search is having one of those "too many searches, please try later" days so was thinking as there was nothing immediately obvious stickied, and there maybe other people who would like more info, if anyone could spare the time to add any useful info to this thread.


I hope my request is not too confusining.. i myself got abit confused in writing this as to whether i was asking about the states or the defenses.. so i decided it would be best to ask about both.


Anyway, I will say thanks now for any help. It will be gratefully recieved.
