I may be out of the loop, but has anybody done any testing to see if Rally performs any function at all? Just so I know if I should bother risking the mind cost for it.

I would not use it.

target an enemy. Check the "to-hit" number hanging above their head. Do a /rally. I've seen a +10 increase to hit. Game-breaking isn't it?

I'd like to pretend it works.

I kinda tested it, not for sure results.

I was attacking some Krayts with my graul mauler, and it died rather quickly without rally. The second time, I used rally, and it worked. My graul mauler seemed to last much longer with rally.

At least it triggers comments from my group: "Flag-day!"...

/rally is one of my favorite specials, actually. Group with a bunch of TKAs and Commandos...All of my friends that are TKA and Commando love me for it. My TKA friends have reported that /warcry2 almost never fails when they are /rallied, and when you combine /rally with /steadyaim, Commandos almost never miss...

The way /rally works is not to increase damage or decrease the amount of damage players take, it is all about %hit modifiers....

What /rally does is make you hit more often, and get hit less often.

It's not a horribly noticable ability, but when you test it out, and find out what it combines well with, it's a great ability to have...

So I tried your ^ advice and I've found something out about rally. I took a novice sharpshooter friend 0/0/1/1with a laser rifle and had him line up at point blank on a nother player and duel.

When rallied he didn't miss a single shot, when not hit maybe 1 out of 4

Then I took him to an ST camp, told him to play like a pistoler running and gunning all around and again when rallied he didn't miss a single shot.

I'm sensing big potential here now.

wanted to also note that the stormtroopers missed him alot, around 75% of their shots didn't hit
