Is "vote countingday" always the same day the city was founded? Or is it always Sunday, for example?

Why do TKA people, esp Masters seem so impervious to any bleeds, or states I try to apply, and to generally any other attacks, (knockdown) I have (Im a Master Pikeman right now)


What do you do for xp when going for TKA Master that doesnt leave you incapped half the time?


thanks

TKM statedefense stats aren't that high..


Defense Vs. Blind +10
Defense Vs. Dizzy +5
Defense Vs. Knockdown +20
Defense Vs. Posture Change (Down) +30
Defense Vs. Stun +15


It's possible who ever you were fighting had some B.E or Enhanced clothing equiped that had bonuses for some of the skills youre are talking about. Also, I think your damage output has a bearing as to ifcertain status effects stick.. That is the more damage you do, the better the chance you have ofit sticking. Maybe you need a higher damage Vibro Lance? I feel for the Pikemen though, I have a Pikeman friend... I can't wait till you guy's are fixed up.

what is the bestlair to use that i can get the highest base% out of? i was thinking of trying to get some really high base% stun lairs and puting them into a composit, it would only make the stun around 3 to 5%, but what i really want is some high base stuff.. i am making this for my jedi, so i dont really care about the enc. what base% on the lair would i need to get a 70% base on the final pece? and what base% on the whole segmant would get me to 70%? i saw that someoen was reccomenting to use blase lairs beacuse you can use NFM in them, but it would be nice to have a 90% base of everythign other then electricity and stun. what are your thoughts, is there anythign that i can do to make better armor?

It's all dependant on your resource. Base effectiveness on Layers is capped at 4% (plus whatever the unknown decimal is). Blast layers are popular because the resources it require have the highest gate (if any at all) and you have more choices between what you use in it.

i was wondering if the swordsman ability of counterattack helped pikeman at all. i know tks defensive acuity (sp?) helps out dodge/counterattack/block, but didn't know if while using a pike, if you got the counterattack bonus (if you had the skill from swords).


i was also wondering if my template of tkm/mswords/mpikes was decent in pvp. i haven't gotten into pvp yet but i would like to.


thanx

Nope, counterattack doesn't do anything at all when you have a polearm equipped.

copy, thanx Ilykerrimo.


anyone have any responses to the template question. i know you hear all the time about templates and what would be good with what, but that's one of the things these forums are for- to ask questions like that to the pros (or people who think they know stuff at least), hehe.


the only other template i think i might do would be msword/mpike/tk 4204/medic 0030. that would give me stim c usability instead of the damage from tk. i wouldn't mind keeping that x2xx in tk for the def vs x bonuses, but it might be alright for 4004 tk and like 1140 medic. i don't know, what do you all think?

I dunno about the rest of the template, but since you're putting that many points into Medic, you may consider 2030 (uses 14 skill points) which would allow you to heal bleeds and use Stim C's.

Question 1: Does master ranger have any tracking bonuses over ranger with 0/0/4/0?

Question 2: Are camo kits worth the 5, 9, 12 or 14 skill points if one is not master ranger?



"...for it is so far from how one lives to how one should live that he who lets go of what is done for what should be done learns his ruin rather than his preservation. For a man who wants to make a profession of good in all regards must come to ruin among so many who are not good. Hence it is necessary to a prince, if he wants to maintain himself, to learn to be able not to be good, and to use this and not use it according to necessity." - The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, Chapter XV

1. I believe there is a 50m range advantage.
2. Camo kits:
pros:
can be applied by the ranger to others, good for group hunts
may have a slight advantage vs maskscent in terms of probability of breaking (?)
some of them double as virtual six packs for house decoration purposes

cons:
need materials and time for crafting
takes up inventory space
uses up skill points

Draw your own coclusions
