I have heard that all the Defence vs. states attacks always have a 10% chance of sticking, therefore +90 is the most you'd want to have, it isn't capped, just a waste of skill points or SEAs.

I was told that it didn't matter how high it was after it was over +90 so there was no purpose.

Defence vs. XXX are capped at 90
Ranged/Meelee Defence, etc are 125

I have trouble believing people who are so uninformed they still think that there is a "combat balance" coming.

BryianN seems to agree with DarkHelmet-TIO, so for now, the only word is that the +90 is all you need for the Defense vs. states


Atama, are you just poking fun because it is referred to as Combat Revamp (CR before JTL) or is there something more enlightened going on here?

Yes. It's a pet-peeve of mine that people giving info can't even get straight what they're talking about.

Also, don't trust ANYTHING you hear about the revamp. Most of the stuff people mention are either rumors or hoaxes, and the few things the devs have mentioned aren't set in stone. In fact, you can count on most if not all of the announced changes being revised before the revamp. The revamp itself is a LONG ways away so it's hardly even worth thinking about.

Remember that Publish 7 was supposed to end stacking and it didn't (it just implemented some caps). There's no way the devs will ever stop all stacking, they aren't that stupid. They have set up the system to intentionally encourage you to spread your skills around, and they have no reason to stop that.

I have +100 vs posture change, +120 vs knockdown. I can't remember the last time I ever had a KD or posture change, but I know it has happened since I got those defenses. I don't think that it's a straight percentage because of that.

Here is what helps from pistoleer when you are using your VK:

Defense vs Blind
Defense vs Dizzy
Defense vs Posture Change
Defense vs Stun
Melee Defense
Ranged Defense
Ranged Mitigation

The only defense that won't help you from Pistoleer is Dodge.

awesome, thank you. I guess I will keep pistoleer.

Ok, so here is what you can add from the other Brawler lines (Fencer, Pikeman and Swordsman) to TKA: (please make any corrections if i have made mistakes)

All of these things can be mixed in any combination of ways so most likely everybody has some slight variation of these mixed making unique templates.

If anybody wants to add to this what we can get from other lines as Atama did for pistol, that would be great!
