I have a question for you, oh great ones, I have tested the critical hit weapon slices, and although you commonly get the +Critical+ icon, you dont seem to do any extra damage, so my question is, is the converse slice broken as well?


Does deflection (pretty sure thats the one I mean) actually cut the dmg of attacks on you in half? And if so, is it cut in half before or after the armour's own resistance is applied?

Canwe have your liver? No? You're USING it? But what's that you have there in your wallet? A donor's card!


To your Qs:


a) The critical slice is indeed borked atm and when it does function, those procs will make attacks do 1.2x damage as they did before. Fix ETA is unknown.


b) Deflection is a critical save roll, when it procs it reduces the damage you would've taken by 50% (or x 0.5), so it's post resistance. However, the critical roll chance is fairly low, 3% at it's peak.


Oh and we'll be at your house around 3pm tomorrow to collect that liver. Thx in adv.

<lights a shisha instead>



Thank you for your informative response, I was mainly checking to see if it was even worth my time to put it on my PvP armour (tier 1 deflection alongide my tier 3 break reduction)


And by the way, aren't I the 3rd non-smuggler to politely ask a non-stupid question? Does that mean I get to keep my liver?

Actually you posted your question while there were other posts addressing the same issue on the front page.

But, on the other hand, you brought pie.

We'll forgive ya. Just this once.
