Thread: Rally Improved?
I thought so: Entered a fight and/rally started immediatelyto kick in- but wait: I didn'tcommand /rally? Hmmm, do I /rally automatically when I start to fight now? Did we receive some love at last? No,I confused a TEF withthe /rally-symbol...

its guffed but I just finaly noticed the improvement it does in battle. My guys are landing all their shots regardless of range, posistion or posture. I rallied a n00b rifleman 0/1/0/1 and told him to run around like a maniac, use the rifle like a pistol and he didn't miss a single shot while rallied. There skill has some potential I'm seeing.
my PA did extensive testing on it last night with Me a Master Squad leadera swordsman and a novice rifelman.
Novice Sharpshooter 0/1/0/1 was told to run around wild and get inpoint blank as often as he could. We tested this 5 times against stormtrooper camps and 3 times in PVP.
While rallied he didn't miss. We repeated the same step with a master sharpshooter and out of 100 shots the Master Sharpshooter missed 5. Again this was at point blank standing and often on the move. Wanting to give it a full test we essentialy told both sharpshooters to use their rifles like they were pistols.
Then tested melee, used a swordsman with a powerhammer (the games most inacruate weapon) while rallied he enjoyed that same 95% hit rate. mised 5 hits out of 100 swings taken.
It is also noteable that he ST's missed thier shotsan extraordinary amount of time.
I can't gaurtee the same results for everybody but I'm intesrted in as many squad leaders as possible doing thse tests and letting me know the results. We may have some pretty useful stuff after all. All my teamates that witnessed this agreed that Rally seems incredibly useful especially in the chatotic PVP enviroment where things are often quite unpredictable.
