Swordsman Archive

Alright, we have had the Mitigation for a couple days now, hopefully enough to get a feel for it. Now, exactly how much of a difference are you all seeing on the incoming damage?

I've been a master swordsman for monthes now so I have mitigation 3...and I don't see much if not any difference, if anything I'm getting hit hard and more often, on top of getting more special attacks done to me by mobs.

Basically I haven't really seen a change, gurks, pirates, snorbals etc still hitting me for as much as they always do, COB doesn't work well against NPCs for me either.

I wear 70% Ubese and if you're wearing armor it could be the reason why you barely notice a change is because the difference is usually a few points of a damage. If you work out the math...

Before mitigation 3, you could be hit for 500 damage, and with 70% Kinetic Ubese on you would only take about 75 damage (But usually less due to melee toughness and stuff)

Now, if you're hit for 500 with Mitigation 3 and 70% Kinetic Ubese armor on, you'd only take...30 damage, and even less due to melee toughness.

So really in the end, with armor you're taking a LITTLE less damage, but without armor, that 500 damage would be 200 damage with mitigation 3. At first I thought it would make wearing armor even sweeter, but this seems to benefit people who wear no armor much more than people who do.

I have some kinetic ubese but I did some tests to see what the deal was, I fight gurks on average considering my PA's city is on lok, They still hit me for 160's and is doesn't get any lower than 110 damage, whelps are still weaker but I really haven't seen much of a change.

I see exactly what your saying, but I have tested it with and without armor and I see little or no change so far, but I'll mess with it a bit more later.
