So I head over to Anchorhead today to rack up some kills.I see an overt rebel who i know is pretty deadly and usually gives me a good fight. I believe hes a pistoleer/BH. He hasnt spotted me so i run into range and hit him with a600 dmg mindshot3. I then get the heck out of dodge. He starts running after me.

I keep running until i see the first bleed hit, then i double back to take him out with a headshot3. Right when i turn around i see the words "equilibrium" go above his charachter and his ENTIRE mind bar refills.

Im like.. "**edit**"?

Now, i already turned around so i fire off a shot anyway. Yay to the laser rifle: 250 damage. Needless to say he spams me for 2 eyeshots that obliterate my mind in under a second.

Now, me and this guy are pretty cool so once i hit the cloning facility I ask him what the hell he did to recharge his mind. He told me "i used /eq. Its equilibrium which recharges my mind. I also have /vitalize which gives a small boost to all my stats".

Im like: "**edit**? Ive never heard of this. How are you using these skills?"

He says: "To be honest, i dont know. No one i ask has this stuff either. Ive used it since the game started."

Can anyone shed some light on this? I searched the skills and i coudnt find either of these skills anywhere. I know he didnt lie aboutt he /eq because i SAW the words "equilibrium" go over his head.

He must have been Zabrak - they have some ability where they can "even out" the stats in their various pools, which drains the highest to fill the lowest, making them all even.

That's easy. Those are innate Zabrak abilities. Equilibrium actually balances all your pools, but with low mind I can see how sucking from health and action to put in mind would completely refill it. Trandoshan has regenerate, which boosts Health regen (forget the stat name) by 175. Wookie has a roar, which I think works like an intimidate.

Any Zabrack Doctors out there using it? If so, how does it help you?

I use it in battle all the time. Just when my mind bar is almost gone I use a Stim-d to get my health/action full then hit equilibrium. Works very well. I'd love to be able to use it more than once an hour but that'd be a little imbalanced I think.

it basically evens out ur 3 bars...

so any doctor that buff will get a full mind heal if they are buffed....

It'sa nice skill which many have told me is abusive. Too bad I have to keep 1000 minimum Action or else I'd say my zabrak is perfect.

The skill is not overpowered since you can simply stun your enemy which prevents /equilibrium.

Vitalize in an inherent buff of Act and Health. I don't know the numbers, I rarely use it. Anti-shock... hmm... never noticed I'll try to get back to you on that.

Isaw a Zabrak TKA going at it with a pet last night and while he wasn't doing too well, I did notice an +Equilibrium+ popped over his head during the fight. It appeared to even out his HAM bars. Am I seeing this right? If so is this a Zabrak ability or a TK ability I don't know about yet?Also ifcorrect, it seems that would give the ability to heal mindby way of a transfer.

From what I've read Combat Equilibrium makes us recover from posture changing moves faster and is not what I saw. Am I mistaken?

FYI, the Zabrak was using Spitting Rawl for about 1250 damage a pop but with 75% resistance on the mob he didn't have a chance from the outcome unless something else was going on that I didn't see. The pet had about 10k HAM and was later kited and incappedby a Rifleman with little trouble.

It's an inate Zabrak trait. It has saved me a couple times in battle when it came down to the wire.

That's handy, I did some research and found Zabrak'shave:

Defense Vs. Dizzy +10

Defense Vs. Stun +10

Defense Vs. Intimidate +10

Anti-shock +5

Equilibrium +1

Vitalize +1

What do Anti-schock (incr. allowable BF?) and Vitalize do for you?

These sound quite valuable for a TKA. It's no wonder I see so many Zabrak TKA's. Defense vs. Intimidate must be really nice as well as I fight with those effects on me quite a lot these days and the mob's lasts at least 4x as long as mine.

try hovering your mouse over the anti-shock and see if it gives a desciption. My guess would be resistance to battle fatigue as I think it used to be called shock in beta.
