I have a friend that just made Novice TKA and he now says that it hurts him more that his enemy to use VK's with specials? In otherwords, hisownHAM takes more damage than his enemies. Is this as designed?


<sigh>

Hmm... that's interesting. Sounds like you're friend might have stumbled on to an issue that non of the rest of us have seen..

Yup, I just did a search of the forums and boy I haven't seen any posts on this... you'd better write it up as a bug!

With VK's on, Unarmed Hit 2 seems to do a max of about 700 damage, and it takes 178 HAM.


Without VK's on, Unarmed Hit 2 does a max of about 350, and takes 50 HAM.


With VK's on, and no special moves, MAX is about 350, it takes 0 HAM, and attacks a hell of a lot faster than with special moves.


Solution? Don't use those ass crappy special moves!

Why is using VKs draining our health bar at all? Action bar I can see, but health for swinging a weapon?

Becausemelee classesarethegorked, masochistic, clay pigeonsof SWG. And supposedly we are not supposed to use them every attack... but it tends tohappen reguardless of your conservative special use.

That depends on what your friend is looking at. If he's looking at the representation on the bars, then yes, your damage to yourself will always look like more than your opponent's because odds are you oppenent had more than 1000 on its HAM bars. On the other hand, it's quite possible that your friend is taking more damage than he's doing if he's looking at the numbers. I made several complaints and /bugged the fact that unarmedcombo1 for me did 1 damage with or without my knucklers and took around 185 off my HAM with knucklers on. Selwynn, you're a bad person to post a response to this man's question since it's already been established that either A) you're the beneficiary of the patch in that the bug that increased EVERYONE else's HAM costs by 600% seems to have worked the opposite effect on you or B) you're lying about your HAM costs. I know my knockdown went from 33 to 185 overnight which is about a 600% increase. It's already been established that either you're not telling the truth or you're bugged in a beneficial way, so please do not respond to other people's questions as if your were part of the status quo, you'll only provide misleading information.
