Thread: Does melee defense work with carbines?
I am an ex-bounty hunter turned carbineer/medic. Granted my melee defense is not high, I still have some nonetheless. What I've noticed, or not noticed atleast is that I never seem to dodge a melee attack with carbine equipped. Does melee defense not work with carbines? My plan was to add on some TKA skills for the + to ranged/melee defenses, but if melee defense doesn't work with carbines I have to rethink my template.
When I was a BH and had pistol equipped, even with my low melee defense I still noticed a few dodges while mobs were meleeing me. Never noticed a single dodge with carbine equipped.
The Melee Defense numbers are based on a 100-point scale like anything else.
A good good brawler profession can get like 30 or 40 Melee Defense....
Most good marksman professoin get up to like 15 or 20 Melee Defense...
Master Squad Leaders can give +30 Group Melee Defense...
But I've found almost all of it to be barely noticeable.
Whats your Melee Defense number at, anyway?
