Fencer Archive

I Have 3-4-4-3 in Fencer right now, but I don't dodge nearly as often as most people on the forums seem to suggest that I should. So what I'm asking is this: Does the 15 dodge gotten from the Master Fencer box drastically increase the frequency of dodging? Also, do I need to use CoB to dodge as often as the people who post stories about killing random large enemies do? Any information will be great. Thanks.

People say a lot of stuff dont take half of it seriously.

Yes, you must use CoB. Look at your CoB modifier. Add that to your dodge...that's what your dodge is when you're centered. When centered I rarely get hit as a blademaster by most mid-level enemies. When you start taking on things with 12k+ HAM they begin to hit you (1 in 15-25), and at 50k HAM I just start praying that they miss sometimes (1 in 2-3).

I suppose i should explain how dodge actually calculates into the battle so here it goes

The enemy: a chuba with 200 acuracy

You: 100 melee def. and 50 dodge

Ok, the chuba is at 5m away and has a -25 range modifier. So the chuba's accuracy is now 175. Then it goes to your melee def. and now it has 75 acuracy. Then, after the melee def., it goes to your dodge and subtracts that. So the chuba ends up with 25 acuracy and it tries to hit you. The almighty gods of SWG decide whether it hits you or not. obviously the higher the acuracy the more they like you and will grant you your wish of hitting him

If you had 150 dodge instead the chuba would have -75 acuracy but it is capped at -50 (atleast for us it is, i asume for the NPC's too) so it doesn't have a very good chance at hitting you.

So to answer your question, 15 isn't that much by its self, but when stacked with other stuff then it is valuable

Ok, thanks guys.
