Thread: State effects? Ham costs? Questions concerning.
What do state effects do (or what are they supposed to do)? (i understand the concept, what i mean fore example is, What does blind do? in EQ your screen actually goes black and you cant see and mobs go off in different direction. here nothing happens that i notice). Aside from bleed and on firei have never noticied anything different. Has sony actually posted an effect list or is it all just player say so.
Ham costs. How are special move costs calculated. I know about the ham cost on wpns for special moves but i know that its much more than that. If my sword health cost is 20 and i have 1000 Health then i should be able to spam that move 50 times (with no other dmg.) but thats not the case. And with numbers above our heads is turned on it will show a low number but is very different from what the HAM actually looks like after using that move.

Intimidate = Cuts the melee dmg an opponent can dish out in half.
Stun = Makes opponent skip every other combat round, also weakens they're defenses against other state effects.
Blind = decreases accuracy
Dizzy = causes opponent to fall down during posture changes
No clue about ham calculations though.. I'd like to know too.

for an explanation of HAM cost and specials read this FAQ:
This will explain all you need to know about HAM, specials and speed. There is a formula the can tell you exactly what your weapon will cost you when using specials too. Theres even one for finding out your survey, sampling and Healing HAM cost and regen.. I can't find them at the moment. Will post it when I do find it.
