Thread: Probots... again. :(
Ok... so last night I pull out my probot with 40% medium armor to battle someone elses probot with 40% light armor. The first few times we pulled them out the armor was screwed and had whacked resists, but when they finally battled they bout had 40% on everything, except mine was medium and his was light. I'm thinking my probot is gonna whoop his probots butt. After knocking his down to 75% ham, I never did 1 more point of damage to him, although the combat spam showed that I was whereas he kept on damaging mine. For most of the fight, he was at 75% ham, while I kept on going down and down. That's just whacked I tell yah! 
Anyone else, feel like trying to reproduce this? LOL I think it had to do with his guy going low power in the middle of the battle and then being recharged. Only thing abnormal.

Did you check to make sure that his Probot was the average 820 kind? Kind of sounds like either a) Its was Pre-Nerf, which I doubt, or b) he was a CH and using the wounderful pet buffs that aren't supposed to be working on Droids.
Yup... I'm not that dumb.
It was as if my probot wasn't even touching his, even though it was shooting. Very very odd.
Ya know, i have never had an armor problem, but i dont really use my probot. I use him every now and then for a little fun on missions but since he dont do much damage he kinda gets in the way and eats batteries.
Good i dea having droid duels though, maybe one day we can use it as a testosterone check to see who can make a better droid 
I am fairly new to the art of crafting droids and I am a bit curious as to the stats you more experienced folks are getting in your probots. I am mainly curious with Attack Speeds, To Hit ratios, and Damage.
The botsI have been selling have and average of AS 2.2, TH .27, and Damage 76-87.
Im not surehow to modify individual states throughexperimentation, maybe you guys can help me out.
Don't worry though, I "HAVE" spent a good amout of time searching the posts with very low usable info found!
Thanx for any help you can give me!

There are only two stats that you can change with probots, and those are the ham and damage. I don't believe either of them stick as well.
I would have to agree about the Attack Speed, they seem to be universal. However, I have noticed many different To Hit numbers in the various droids I purchased before becoming a DE. Anywhere from .20 to .37! Anyways....Im sure with time I will come to know the in's N out's.
Thanx for the help Ackis, your posts are always educational!

Experimentation on "Effectiveness" seems to raise the damage a little and maybe the to-hit. It also raises the HAM on the Deed, but the bot will still be 820 when called, no matter what the deed states.
