It seems sporadic, sometimes everything works just fine, other times you get hit a lot harder than you would expect... Don't know what's causing it atm, Armour holes and armour "fixes" have been suggested, as have bugs with melee toughness... neither have been proven yet, and I'm not sure how we'd go about proving which one it actually is that's causing the anomaly :/ pesky tho.. but then, roll with it I'm not averse to dying now and then, keeps me fresh

I kill Krayts pretty frequently and have noticed since last publish that my HAM is going down significantly at times.Its not consistant but every so often my HAM willl start dropping.One had me at 50% the other day which is unusual.Not complaining but its a drastic change.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed creatures/NPC's hitting harder.I have heard rumors that toughness is broken.Is that true??

Armor holes are back in the game..this is why you are having the trouble you have.

I was fighting Sith at the village in the last phase with a group. I had full comp and full janta buffs with mind buffs. My health took a full 3300 hit that, according to my combat log, received no armor reduction. Not even my 2800janta buff could stop that hit. Other guild mates are noticing it as well.

And youre sure u had stun armor.... ?

I was in the Geo Lab wearing 41% stun armor and it was brand new when a mercenary hit me for 2800 damage. Needless to say it killed me. I was doing fine, only taking small damage until the final hit. I sometimes wonder if the devs are watchingand just decide to take this guy out or that one. Oooooooh another conspiracy theory.

Anyways, kinda sucks cause I still had an hour on my mind buff and the acklay was only 30 minutes from spawning. I can solo them with no problem but for some reason one mercenary kicked my arse.

I must be really lucky then, I haven't experienced the armour hole since it was "fixed." I just wear the 4-piece armour set and never experience a hit getting through. I hunt Nightsisters and hard-hitting things all the time, if there was an armour hole and you got hit with it while fighting a krayt, I'm sure it would take alot more then just half your health.

i usualy have no problem fighting things, but lately i can tell armor holes are back... i was in the NS cave and was doing fine.. took 5 rangers at a time with 2 speelweavers on me... killed them all. then i ran to the top and 1 stalker hit me for 3000 dam and killed me.. i sat in ym chair baffled... i ran by an elder in the spiderclan cave.. and he hit me once to kill me... they need to fix the armor holes...

but i like the conspiracy about the devs.. I bet you the devs are the elders. and they sit there and are like hahahaha boom one hit kill..

NPC's of course are hitting for full effect when doing specials. Some are now packing AP2 and AP3 weapons with them as well. I got 1 shot incapped by a thug who was using a T21. I believe you are reading your combat log wrong. There are times when two or three hit land at the same time. They are listed simultaneously the the amount blocked by armor following in succession. It appears as if 2 of those shots bypassed the armor but if you scroll down a little and take note you'll realized it was resisted.

I think its the mob itself. I have seen this when hunting FS on dantooine and other such things. When you get a random spawn of FS like crystal hunters, you get one or two of the spawn that hit for very little and one that hits for alot. I think the damage they deal is randomly selected.
