Have we seen/heard anything on the Sith effectivness is on mobs? I know it's been asked here an in rangers in the past, but its really annoying me. Its not just animals, all mobs have it, and anyone can see the resists and effectivness on all things, even NPC.


So what the heck is effectivness. My take on it, is its' good for us, meaning, that type of damage is that much more effective. But it would be nice to know. Don't they know what they programmed into the game?

In the examine window, one of the things at the top is the resists. Below that the vulnerabilities, if any. Then below that it shows a section called Effectivness: and might list some similar numbers as the resists, in percentages. I want to know that that means? Does it meas for example, if it has Effectivness 30% acid, that acid damage is 30% MORE effective against the creature? Resists, we know, vulv. we know, pretty self explanetory. But I have to hear what the effectivness ratings actually mean in game terms, in terms that my character cares about.


Make more sence?

Squid,


I guess your "sith effectiveness" thing kinda threw me off.


What I believe we have determined this to mean is this:


Vulnerabilities: Creature is vulnerable to this.


Effectiveness: Creature damage is particularly effectiveagainst this.


For example, if a critter has a 40% effectiveness to "kinetic", that would mean that a character with 40% Kinetic resist armor would have that armor value negated. It would mean that they were particuarly effective at dishing out this kind of damage.


Does that make sense?

Yes it does, and that was my thinking on it way back when. So basically effectivness on mobs, is bad for us. Makes sence.


Sorry about the sith thing, I tend to RP a bit and try to use SW words in place of normal ones. Like instead of what the f*** I what the sith. Or instead of holly cr** I say holly hyperdrive.
