It was my understanding that as of the last patch this was supposed to land more often. Has anyone seen a difference or does it still seem like it lands about 40% of the time?

I don't remember seeing a "fix" concerning intimidate 1 in the last patch, but I will tell you that normall I land one every 3-4 tries. But recently, I bought a piece of bio-engineered clothing that has +17 intimidate/warcry on it, and now I am able to land intimidate 1 on either my first or second try, rarely having to try more times. This piece of clothing I wear underneath my armor, and it's been greatly helpful before I master brawler.

I don't think any fix for Intimidate took place...I use Intimdate 2 and the results are still purely random. It can hit the first time, or I can fail 10-15 times before it sticks. I wish I had some clothing to increase my Intimidate mods but, like decent kinetic resist armor, it just doesn't exist on Gorath.

OK>> since that first post I did a study.. not with Iag on sunrunner but with Pin on Tempest.

not sure if the servers matter or the professions but Pin is TKA student. I have no BE clothing or skill attatchments.

I used Intimidate 1 on Rockmites 100 times.

results:

landed: 47

missed: 53

with a counting error of +3-3 it would appear that it is successful 50% of the time.

ok.. If my math is correct if something is 50% effective (stops damage by 50%) and works 50% of the time then its a wash?... meaning over 100 kills you would have ended up with no different outcome?

Since when do those Bio-Engineer clothes work? Did they fix it?

Yes they do work. Yes they did fix it.

And it is not a wash as it costs HAM for every attempt...spent HAM that could easily be seen as damage.

I guess you mean used as damage. I suppose it would depend on the mob. If your fighting something that it is hitting you for say 200 dmg and it costs 41 (or around that number).. then it would be worth it.

3 tries = mob 200 dmg would do 100 dmg for.. How long does it last...?

eerr

heh... I'll have to get some more data! bbs

i dont know what you guys are using to intimidate with, but my wookieeroar intimidates multiple enemies from a fair distance 100% of the time. I think you guys must be talking about a more specific move and not just anything that can cause intimidate tho.
