So I go into PvP yesterday.. Normal day. 80% base helmet, 40% stun. 58% stun PSG, 42% reduction food. Ok, so I should take no damage, correct? Alright, so just to let you know I died about 5 times. I killed only about 2 people. Here is my setup. Master rifleman/almost master fencer/master marksman. I have a +5 speed shirt so I am capped on speed. I have a 320 max damage jawa ion rifle powered up to something like 425 or so. So I am going up against another rifleman. I intimidate, stun, bleed, then head shot 3. They just start shooting head shot 3 at me... no states or nothing. I am being hit for 125 damage, I am hitting them for 30. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? On these defense stackers... they blind, stun, intimidate, then spam their TKM **edit** on me. My jawa does 20 damage, my T21 does 30 and my DXR6-B does about 25. My fencer stun baton at 180 damage does about 15. Is there any way to kill these people? If so I havent found it yet.... Please help! thanks

Try intimidating them (also who were you up against).

There is a food that will reduce damage for a specific number of shots. I forget the name, but I have seen damage reduction of up to 80% on it. I have never used it because of the high stomach fill, but with high Stun and Energy resist armor and a good PSG along with food doing another big chunk of damage reduction on top of that, it would not surprise me to see that kind of disparity.

Well, I've ready your post, crunched numbers, crunched more numbers, and I don't really know what to say. Your opponent's damage output seems to be in line with average damage against a stun armored, synthsteak using, psg-using, 80% base opponent. You're landing stuns and intimidates and making sure to use the best gun for the situation, so no advice there. Only thing I can think of is some of these folks may be using flameout, but even that's doubtful as the filling is too high to make it an incredibly useful food. If they are using flameout, they will pretty much have a 2 minute period of near invincibility, but will not be able to eat other foods in quantities useful for most. Besides that, I guess they may have a godly jawa made with 180+ tissues or something, but that's rare also.
Keep doing what you're doing. Make sure you unequip/equip your psg before battle, eat synthsteak early, get both dancer and musician buffs...don't know what else. Your template - master marksmen has little value to me and I recommend dropping it, but that's irrelevant here. They may have better state defenses than you, but that wouldn't increase their damage output in comparison to you. Don't know, good luck I guess.
