well, first thing's first: all mod bonuses from clothing cap at +25. if you start at +65, then the actual bonus you're getting is +90.

other than that, the mod should work.

IF this is the case, it needs to be fixed. I was under the impression that the clothes would still have an effect, but there would be diminishing returns. This is all fine and dandy, if there were more options for skill mods to be put into bio clothes, so I have more of a selection other than 200 melee/ranged defense clothing items, and about 5 healing items.



uh... this isn't a bug. clothing mod cap has been +25 since the beginning.


Well, I think the big problem that has been uncovered here is that the "diminishing returns" thing has made bio-clothing that much more undesirable. What my tests showed was that for my "cm dabbler" he gets a ton of benefit from one article of bio-clothing, but very little from 2 and none from three. And if what others are saying is true, then for someone witha lot more doc/med skills, there may be little to no benefit from having even 1 article of clothing. That's very bad news for tailors. Really bad.

It's bad news to the medical community too, as it devaluates the Master Doctor or Master Combat Medic. When a dabbler with mods can heal for almost as much as a master, why bother with the extra skill points to master?






Because no matter how much healing efficiency skill mods you have, a Master Doctor will still heal better from the Advanced Bacta Jab ability that has a multiplier built in. Because of diminishing returns, damage healed for dabblers seems to reach the top of the curve at 700+, whereas a Master Doctor can heal for close to 1000 damage. The Improved and Advanced versions of abilities are what makes dabblign less attractive, and actual mastery more attractive.
