I thought the 85% chance saber block wasn't based on accuracy?

it is not.

Saber Block comes into effect before secondary defense (which are based on accuracy vs)

so if you fight a fencer master saber (seen it... scary) they block 85% of incoming and then dodge the rest...

doh!

Have to say that a jeedai at 30-50m range, you are going to decimate him with your trust dxr6b. I have killed many a jeedai with just having a tank deal with him as I run into my ideal range pop citrus(+25 to accuracy, with already +25 rifle accuracy in tapes) which gives me a mean 200+ accuracy, with ideal range on the dxr6b of +132 @ 50m, it is a dead jeedai to say the least.

I dont understand this,

The previous posts just said that +25% rifle accuracey tape and crispex/citris snowcake do not help hit jedi because of 85% saber block. Why are you taking crispex if it doesnt work vs Jedi?

Please explain,

Don't take anything anyone says as gospel, not even the devs or the community relations people such as TH. I've done some testing on the saber block (fairly extensive) myself, and I am quite sure that accuracy DOES effect it. Take as many oppinions as you can and form your own, these forums are rife with misinformation because one or two people "knew for a fact" how something worked.

Very true, I just know whom I have killed =)

Ackehece is a bit of a forum nazi ya? Always telling people to do searches. (Most people do not feeling like searching for something that might not be there when they can simply make another post to ask a simple question) Does it bother you that bad?

Actually it does bother me that much.I mean we get the same post 8-10 x a week about the same silly things. If people were not so lazy I would not have to repeat myself so many times in so many ways. The faqs and the forum searchs are there as tools to avoid creating useless spam. I answered these daily for almost a year and still people asked the same questions. It is not hard to do a search and it makes my keeping up with the forums much easier.

An average week here

• 11 posts on What is speed cap (100 caps all weapons most rifles cap at 97)


• 3-4 posts on how can I kill a jedi (as a rifleman generally your hosed if they are MLS if not have fun)


• 5 post currently on what does a rifle stim do and where do I loot them (Beladonna - stim accuracy or speed 5 x for 5 mins)


• what does cover do every 2-3 weeks (increases ranged defence)


• does /aim work 1 per week (yes and you can stack it multiple times)


• does accuracy have a cap (NO!)


• how does conceal shot work 3 times a month (finally getting through on this one) (set up at 50+m and plink away - watch for random bleeds)


• how do I avoid bleeding a target while conceal shoting 1 time a week (No real method - appears to be a random event)


• why can't I kill a NS spellweaver 5 x a month (three NS are completely immune to our weapons Hunt SMC instead)


• is this template good... (I let this one alone as there are so many combos)


• why does autofire not work while prone... (Broken and /bugged)


• what drops the best loot rifles. (NS, Krayt, Corvette, Geo Cave, Tuskans)


• dxr6 vs jawa in pvp (Both are good - both are needed - also depends on your servers level of pvp'rs)


• how much for this rifle..or where can I buy a rifle on X galaxy. (wrong forum newb... and a insta kick by garvin to the right forum.)


• best way to grind rifleman (read the faq... about 3 dozen ways listed in there...)


• does block work? (Yes but it works much better for Pike then Rifle and dodge and counterattack are better defences)

I meant citrus in the earlier post corrected. Food goes above and beyond skilltapes/BE modded clothing. It has no +25 cap unlike those others. So you can +25 cap your accuracy on tapes, then take food to go up more.
