I know this has been discussed before but my search isn't working again...

I am a VERY old school Mon CalWS on tarq who miraculously unlocked...and got his second toon.

So I made him a Rifleman/CH human (yeah yeah I know he should be wookie, but I wanted to wear some helmets and things I could never wear as a fish)

Now this is my first real combat toon, and I am loving it. The runs looking for babies; lining up shots from 65 meters, and trying to time my pets attacks with the timer on my sniper shot.

Anyway, my question is, during my grind I'm managing to pick up quite a few L1 specials including staggering and eye gouge. Since I really have no intention of keeping these low level critters as I progress, I just stick whatever specials I get on then as they are able. An example being I have a wrix that came with marring storm, I added panicked rage, stagger, eye, and fleet foot (all L1)

So I send him into battle and since I am ususally in a group hunting lvl 80+ bols (with the cat ungrouped) I throw on the states as able. Also since I want to maximize the CH xp I stand on the fringe and watch the battle. This gives me plenty of time to watch the combat spam log. Which leads to my question...

Are these states doing anything? Stun and Blind are supposed to both affect the recipients attack accuracy, right? Or does stun affect it's defenses? The only time I MAY have seen a change was a couple days ago, me being low level CH/low level RM I took some quests on talus (lvl 21 or so, same as me). I believe it was humbabas...maybe guf drolgs, don't recall. Anyway, I was trying to level up rifle xp. I send the Wrix on the attack and fired the sniper shot fired by snare. The enemy charges me, and I plink away as it comes in. I also triggered the stun from the wrix...didn't have the blind at the time. The humbaba got to me and starts hitting me before the stun stuck. Once it did, the humbaba missed maybe five consecutive attacks on me. Was this the stun working as intended?Was I just lucky? I've never seen this kind of result since then.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Hiya - welcom to the zoo

Stun and blind do work - stun slightly increases the amount of damage you do to an enemy (debuffs their defences) and blind decreases the amount of damage that they can do to you (debuffs their accuracy). Have I got that the right way round? - please confirm someone.

Check out the amount you hit for in your combat window - then apply the states and compare damage dealt, and taken.

Being a BH I usually try and apply both stun and dizzy, then get a pet to do blind and knockdown. I see about a 10-15% difference in the amount of damage. Plus the knockdown seems to make it easier to get the states on.

ooh - if I remember rightly, stun is also meant to stop the action bar regen - please confirm.

Ahhhh that may be it. I always thought blind and dizzy affected number of HITS....and it wasn't. But if it modifies the damage that may be my answer. I will check that out when I am able to get online.

Thanks.

And thanks for the welcome, I am a 2 year old veteran toon noob CH from patch 21 and I LOVE IT...I find myself stopping at every baby I pass to grab it, check for specials, if I find none, I train and release

all three states modify attack/defense but very slightly, i think the most noticeable effect is from stun, and its not very high.
