we knew that was coming.. last i heard it was 3 attacks not 5. still it doesnt matter, its not like the commando will live after the first one is 90% resisted (after armor resists hahaha)


its lovely really, SOE is switching combat to be decided by those that have the most money (aka, buy armor and all these idiotic stuff) than be decided by those who spend their skillpoints better.


but then again, after seing SOE's record at 'balance' , its not surprising.

Anyone see the new food item that gives +40 to def vs KD for a short time...that could be useful for our issues of fighting TKA...it might give us a better chance at landing that first hit...although I'd still like to see us get some better base defense mods, this could be a good thing...


OMG...did I just say something nice about a Dev idea....bleeech...LOL

Oh, I also noticed this little tidbit


"All of those numbers can be increased through experimentation or the use of bio-engineered additives."


and

hehe garvin... if a tka can't knock you down, he'll just slap you dead just as quick.

Flameout

Reduce damage taken from the next 5 attacks by 90%
Yield 3, Filling 60




Maybe it's just taking this out of context, but does this apply to all attacks as it would seem given what it says there?

No, just flame attacks. You can look at the chef revamp here:

Ahh...but I can rely on other defenses to defend against that...at least I can still fight back while standing...that's the key...if your kd you can't do anything...Def vs KD is the most important factor when fighting TKA...

I'm not seeing anywhere they say just flame attacks...it says to prevent sneak attacks and high powered attacks...appears they are making it generic...it'll be nice for us to have available...but SEVERLY hurts our attack power even more then it's being hurt with other NERFs...


The key factor is first 5 attacks...but of all profession attacks, our speed is pretty bad...so for the FT, it's basically worthless for 5 attacks...


Throw in no stacking and a Fire Extingisher and we could be serious trouble...

It wouldn't be too bad actually, just make sure you hit them 5 times before using a special. Alternativley, pull out a fastpistol and pelt them a few times.

Other than its name, I don't see anything that suggests it's a flame defense (or even heat defense) only. It does say "powerful" attacks, and it is possible that TH is convinced that we have the one and only powerful attack in the game...but ...

I've been monitoring the chef forum closely (I'm a chef in addition to being a commando) and I've seen absolutely no evidence to support the idea that the new Flameout only affects damage from the flamethrower. I think you can lump this in the same category as the rumor that the current Flameout puts out the flame DoT -- completely false.
