Thread: Pahdbacca, do we get any mitigation?
In the December patch, they will introduce mitigation to combat professions.
They mentioned melee mitigation bonus for melee classes & rangedmitigation bonuses for ranged classes. BH and smugglers have been mentionned too as special cases and will get melee mitigation.
But what about us?
Are we getting any bonus? I really hope so. We are definitely a ranged combat class.
Do you have any info on this please?.
Thanks.
PS: for those who don't know what mitigation is, here is a short explanation:
If a mob can hit you for 1-100 damage:
at mitigation level 1, max damage will be reduced by 20%
at mitigation level 2, max damage will be reduced by 40%
at mitigation level 3, max damage will be reduced by 60%
As of right now we do not get any sort of mitigation. If you don't mind, add this to the balance thread stickied above. It sounds like a good idea.
Okie, it's done.
I REALLY hope they're not going to forget us. We are a combat class, just like BH etc...
Well how much mitigation will Swordsman be getting?
How will a CM be determined ranged or melee, you dont have to hold a poison in your hands. Im a swordsman/cm and if I get a lower ranged mitigation bc Im also a CM Im going to be PISSED.
Mitigation stacks, (edit: melee and ranged will not interfere with each other is what I mean to say, sorry)*i think*, so you don't have to wory if you get it in 2 different classes.
Combat Medics were not intended to get mitigation, but I like the idea of them getting it. Because they were not intended to get it, I do not know IF they would get melee or ranged.

Ranged makes more sence to me, we need marksman skills to become combat meds, after all.
Of course, I don't fully understand the issue, but it sounds interesting.
If mitigation is added for Combat Medics, then their poison damage should be affected by the PvP penalty AND mitigation also, just to be fair.
