I raced to get +10 dodge and was not impressed. Although, I suspect all defenses are like this (block, counterattack, etc.).


Does anyone know if you have to have the pistol equipped for it to go into effect?
And does the frequency of dodge seem to affect gameplay? It doesn't seem to for me. I RARELY dodge even blue con mobs, and now with +10 I suspect the change was so minor it still doesn't register by eyeballing it.


Does it only work vs ranged attacks? Does block only work vs melee? Counterattack?

Or works for any attacks. It seems that it works best when you're kneeling.

I notice myself dodging pretty often when I fight against Melee NPC's, like TKA's or Sword users.. don't really notice it much at other times.

No.


I distinctly remember seeing my character "dodge" an attack (combat spam)when I first started playing with a Carbine equipped...it's broke though, happens like once in a blue moon.

Alright, thanks! Hope they fix it soon (but allow you to dodge without a fencing weapon still).

No dodge only works if you have a pistol or a one handed weapon equiped.

The ability to dogde an incoming attack is by its name a usable skill. Like block and counterattack. Byt the value given, what does it represent? Say I have a dodge value of +25 ??? It doesnt tell me much. It tells me it is better than +10 but not as good as +50. I have tried very hard to find the mathematics about dodge, block and alla other of these kind of skills that comes with lvl advancement. I havent found anything anywhere.


Can someone enlighten me about this topic? Is the value a percentage chans of dodging or what is it??

So now that I have become a master pistoleer I cracked a new holo...unfortunately it has thrown me to the world of pikemen. My question is do I have to have pistol enabled to get the dodge benefit, or do I get to keep the dodge regardless of weapon used as long as I keep the tree?

if an attack hits you.. based on your dodge mod it will have a chance to be "dodged." In the combat spam i believe it says "xxx shoots at you or 400 damage but you evade" so you can see from the 400 damage that the attack hits you.. and then you have a chance to dodge it.

Ya, thats how dodge works, good work sike. I was curious though, I have a few skill tapes that increase one hand damage. I was wondering though, does one hand damage work? I mean in the TKA tree itll show you in your skill mods that you have +120 melee damage, but I dont see that in the fencer tree. Also, does evasion work?I got a bumload of evasion SEAs.

There is no one hand dmg mod in the fencer tree.. but i have a few sea one hand damage mods and they show up in my skill mods window.. so i would assume they work.
