First thing. I am 1/1/2/2 in TKA and I have never used it. Wonderin what it is because I have never heard about it. Can anyone help me?

OMG

USE IT!!!

It cuts all dmg from mob by i think half? Or is it 2/3s, i cant remember but it helps ALOT.

Also, warcry, use it on EVERYTHING. If it works, which is usually about evryother time I use it, the mob CANNOT attack at all for a whole ten seconds.

Enjoy...

Thanks man. Those are goin on my bar lol.

Intimidate cuts damage in half.

Bio-engineers can make +intimidate/+warcry tissues that you can make into shirts. I'm getting a +16 intimidate/warcry shirt. They will rule!

yes, the normal "debuffing" proceedure in tka is blind/stun/intimidate

Youtake ALOT less damage if you bebuff your target. IE while i did baz nitches they would hit for around 200-250. Fully debuff they hit for 30-40.

oh, and intimidate stacks... meaning if you intimidate once it'll last maybe 30 seconds, do it 2 times it'll last 60, etc etc.

Dang, I never realised that. Thanks.

yes, it's the main reason why i would love a change to intimidate2 and berserk2.

At the moment the only thing these skills has over the originals is the length of time, not the effectiveness. I think it should be the other way around. Inimidate2 should reduce the damage more, and berserk2 should add more damage. At the moment berserk2 is not worth using as you can't stop combat or sit while it going, and it goes along time. Would rather it add more damage, make it more viable for a master profession skill.

Quick note about the BioE intimidate/wacry enhancer :it seems to be really effective. I have a pants made with this tissue and my intimidation skill appears to stick more often.

I also tried the 16 defense vs bleed tissue, I have an outfit with two tissues ( one on pants, on on the jacket ) so 36 defense vs bleed but I'm quite disapointed in practice.

There is a problem with wearing +intimidate clothing:

The armor hole.

If I am wearing, say, a ubese jacket with a +intimidate shirt underneath,roughly half the time Iget hit in the chest the attack will ignore my armor and hit my shirt instead.

This has been tested A LOT, there is a ton of info on it on the weaponsmith forums.

Basically, if you wear *anything* except armor, you have an armor-hole and will, from time to time, take completely unblocked shots. My personal experience shows this to be true and thus I don't even wear a backpack or belt or anything that does not have an armor rating when I am fighting.

Either way, if you are properly armored, spamming a few intimidates shouldn't be a problem without clothing- I have a macro that sends out 10 of them at the beginning of any long fight.

Thanks for the input Jinx, I was aware of the "armor hole" but I didn't take time to investigate this issue.

Well...it's not that I'm reluctant to drop the shirt and lose some melee resist or intimidated bonus.. but it's part of one of my armor look setup ..of course it's only important for me.

You have 10 intimidates in a row????

I'd hate to have your health bar after 10 tries at that.

sure, as a novice tka working on xp in dathomir, and using a rock beetle i'd use int1 10 times, accually use it till my ham is gone then use a stim then start fighting again. Was easy having a pet take the hits while i debuffed.

I have had Intimidate miss 8 times in a row (yeah instant incap) but I would say 80% of the time I get it in 1-2 tries. And it is the single most useful thing for grinding out the Unarmed tree that I've found, more important than Berserk even. Definitely a must-use. I think it lasts a good 15 seconds (haven't explicitly timed it but it's really close to that.) Basically it's the one of the only things Brawlers have left that approaches a tanking ability.
