Because im pretty confused on the whole concept of what is it based on. The fact that some of us are masters? our guns? No idea really, and i hear that it's the dev's way to nerf the Laser rifle and put the T21 out on top?

So many Questions..

Mitigation reduces the range from minimun to maximum by a set percentage.

My T21 is 112-352.

At mitigation 3 the range is reduced by 60%.

The range is determined by subtracting the minimum damage from maximum damage.

So 352

- 112

------------

240

60% of 240 is 144

So at mitigation 3 my T21 is now 112-208 weapon.

Its the new defence system, for instance a master rifle will have ranged defence 3 this mean and hits against us will be reduced by 60%. Now a TKA has the same thing but it has melee 3.

And thus our melee defense will be full damage (assuming a Pure Rifleman) and a TKA will have full damage from ranged (assuming a Pure TKA).

Yep, ranged professions get defenses against ranged attacks, melee get defense from melee attacks.

Who chooses mit 3? I've seen this posted several times now, and also mit 2. Is that based on our level?

Well if you read the 2 explanations they don't match.. and this is what is making me so confused as we still hear a lot of different explanations. If it's true it only affects the min-max range it does not mean that we take 60% damage less.. If a weapon had a damage of 275-300 a 60% decrease would only be 275-285.. meaning a very little change. A weapon with 30-400 would be 30-178, large change. Of course.. this hurts us the most.

Bounty Hunters get Melee Mitigation in there investigation line, the premise is since jedi are basically melee it will help them when they try and take them out.

Level 1 mitigation is a 20% reduction in range from min-max damage

Level 2 is 40%

and

Level 3 is 60%

-From what TC people a and Correspondents say it don't reduce damage done it just reduces the range from minimum to max damage, as explained in my example above.

Yeah, alright, i kinda get that, but what about the level 2 and 1 defenses? is that based off Novice marksman or something? and does that mean that we only do the reduced damaged to people with damage migation 3? so could we do the same damage like we are doing right now to TKMs who have melee migation?

Which professions can get Ranged Mitigation 3?
Pistoleer, Carbineer and Rifleman I'm assuming...
What about bounty hunter?
Commando?

I suppose in the spirit of balance they're going to give them both.
(Melee and Ranged)

there is an explenation in BH forum.
