who cares. I would rather have that capped then dodge, etc, since you can actually break through them

Doesn't that hurt classes like Squad Leaders (like they need more pain) and Rangers, though? Both get melee/ranged defense mods (Master Ranger is +10 each, Squad Leaders get +25 for the whole group through their Tactics and Leadership trees)...


Hopefully those two things at least aren't factored in.

I ditto that ditto.


I think they could at least have the decency to a) tell us and b) put the actual frigging number in the skills window.


I don't want to look in my skills box and see 184. I want to look there and see 125. If its capped at 125 then let the damn thing show 125. It seems far less cheesy that way.


For the record though, I haven't noticed much difference. I'm still whacking my way through everything and not taking much damage.


What I have noticed lately (and someone please confirm this) is that battle fatigue has gotten nuts. It used to take me around 3 hours to acquire 100 bf. I can now get 100 bf in 2 missions or half hour or so.


I further noticed that around 120 bf or so, I start to get hit. A lot.


Don't know whats going on but bf is hurting me more than my enemies.

yeah its real stupid how they keep us uninformed

but i did notice a difference - i have only been on the once since patch and i was fighting group pvp so it was hard to tell...

but it seemed riflemen weren't missing me at all(say hitting me 4 times out of 5) and i was running around they were running around at close range etc...

and swordsmen were hitting me easily with their powerhammers, whereas before they would consistently miss me

not that swordsmen can actually hurt me when i equip my highly balanced 90% armour

so riflemen can still hurt me... and now i have a bunch of free skill points to pick up doctor, or maybe master riflemen(sigh), and everyone who isnt a riflemen has even less chance against me than before... nice.

Yep, after a night of pvp last night, I can say that I got hit much more often than before, by commandos, TKA, and riflemen.

confirm that about battlefatigue.

i was shocked by the 600 BF i got from a night of decent grinding. 600BF used to take me a week.

From last night's chat


The cap is on melee and ranged defense as well as dodge, counterattack andblock.


The +25 from squad leaders still applies. The cap is kinda like the +25 for BE clothing but you can still raise it more with food.


So if you have +125 defense and you group with a squad leader then it goes up to 150.
