Will the 0-0-4-0 Pistoleer defence vs xxxx line stack with master rifleman or do I need a Pistol equiped.
From what Ive seen they are looking to cap defences not stop stacks, does anyone know?
If this does work it seems to be the easy route to better defences if you have master marksman and it will only cost me an extra 20 skill points.

My understanding is that the current cap is only a temporary move. We still could see the defense stacking eliminated .ie. pistol defenses only when carrying a pistol etc. in the near future.

I believe I heard this somewhere as well. As of now dodge, counterattack, melee+ranged defense, and block is all capped at 125%.

I read on the STRATICS dev chat that Melee/ ranged defense and evasion skills (block, dodge, counter attack) are all capped at 125 even though the UI will show more...
Straight from the devs own mouths... 125... and nothing about nerfing cross class comboing....Thats a silly mechanic to nerf since its one of the better features of this game.

Earlier i didn't know the melee/ranged defenses got capped at 125 because mine read at 137.

How bout you guys actually read what pistol 0040 gives you before responding. That tree gives defenses to knockdown/dizzy/stun and such. It can be stacked with rifleman and will not be capped. And no, its not pistol specific.

my master rifleman has pistol 0-0-4-0, atm they work nicely. i havent read anything that suggests a nerf on state-defence stacking....but the way these devs swing the nerfbat..who knows
