Okay so I just bought 20 FTs. Got them all sliced. SO I get this one that does 1182 dmg every 4.2 seconds. I bring it to Dantooine to go test it out. WIth just Flame Single I, I am doing 6k damage a pop. So I come back to the MO to get buffed up and stuff and I see a player from the guild we are at war with. The guy is totally un buffed and in normal clothes (no not BE either) and I am doin 300 dmg a pop! WHAT THE HELL?! SO I just break out my big Scythe and shred him but how the hell did my 6k dmg go to 300 dmg? I know that damage gets dowgrated in PvP versus PvE, but is this seriously how much it is?

75% damage reduction + ranged mitigation 3 = poop for damage

That's exactly why I never take any Nerfherder's rants seriously when they say we are over-powered...


They never seem to take into consideration Ranged Mitigation, 75% reduction in PvP (applies to everyone in PvP), Heat Resists, Our ranged restriction, Our Delay, Out Speed, Our Aucuracy, and so on...


The devs consider us the Heavy Damage profession and that is the reasons we have so many penalties & restrictions, yet we are out damaged DPS (damanger per second) by riflemen and out various melee professions out damage us as well...


The Combat Balance is suppose to address this with new speed, accuracy and damage formulas....

You get Damage Mitigations from variuos elite combat professions. Ex. Riflemen, Pistoleers, etc. get Ranged Dam. Mitigations 1-3. Fencers, TKAs get Melee Dam.Mitigations 1-3. You get the 3rd ones once you master one of those professions.


Dam.Mitigations, IIRC, reduce damage for that type sequentially. Mitigation 1 reduces it by 25%, 2 by 50%, and 3 by 75%.
