Ditto, Battle fatigue is off the charts as I managed to gather 600 BF without even thinking about it yesterday. I don't think I've gotten above 400 while hunting Nightsisters all day before, I don't like ninja nerfs or changes at least let us know or something.

As of what I've noticed, discounting what Legwand mentioned; did LegHit3 get beefed up in the damage area too or is it me? Armor holes seem to hit far more commonly, especially when fighting more than one mob.CoB seems to be more effective now. I can't seem to be able to stick Stun on 80% of the hits, Dizzy lands more rarely too I think.

If I piece anything else together I'll post follow-ups.

Official word on stacking would be nice.....heck, it isn't even answered in the knowledge base.....we all know the 125 cap, but thensomeone posted that you would only get the defenses of whatever weapon you were holding.....I thought this was what the knowledge base was for? The lack of an answer just makes me assume that they don't really know what is going on with their game.

Second question, what skill enhancing attachments don't work?

Defenses stack of course, it's more than evident. But you only block with pikes/rifles, dodge with pistols/1-h swords, counterattack with carbines/heavy swords.

+polearm evasion, +polearm counterattack do nothing.

I've been meaning to test those out, I'll try to do that tonight. I just have to find a good lair to pound on for a bit.

/shrug. Our defenses used to be worse. I think it was initially intended to be the trade off for damage output. Unfortunately, the devs have broken with that line of thought with TKAs and riflemen who have both stunning dmg and defense at the same time.

Alright, I've tested these polearm damage attachments. Here are the results:

I took a 50-107 RICS and tested on an empty baz nitch lair.

- Without any dmg attachments, the dmg fell right in line with what was expected, with the standard 1.86 melee multiplier, the dmg range was 93-199.
- Then I put on some armor pieces with +24 polearm damage total. If they work properly, I can expect the damage output of a 74-131 staff, with a dmg range of -137-244. I swung at the lair all the way to destruction and never broke the 199 damage mark, the exact upper end of the range of a staff with 50-107 damage.

End conclusion: polearm damage attachments do not work.

How much added speed does one need to hit at the speed cap?
