Return of Reckoning

AA was fine but the armor nerfs had the following impact:

-Reduced time to get to Execution Abilities health% that Automatically Critically Hit. (WL, SH, SW, etc.)
-Reduced mitigation of physical attacks as the armor debuffs are more prevalent than the armor buffs (which can be removed!) + armor ...

WP/DoKs have a pretty big Armor Debuff now. Also, looks like some investment into Armor penetration/weapon skill.

How much armor do you have? and toughness?

To put this in perspective, I have an MSH with a gearset with 5k armor. I had a WL hit me the other day where I only mitigated 7 damage lol ...

To be honest, I don't believe they had enough code from the original TOVL, etc. to replicate it.

The Tali is the only item available to all classes without stats on it. You can also simply use the Min/Max spreadsheet and adjust do comparisons between 2 sets, classes, etc.

For those unaware, while an enemy has an absorb shield on them, they cannot receive critical damage until it is depleted.



Could you unpack that and simplify it a bit?

What happens, in what order, do absorb shields and toughness work to negate critical damage. I think I know but would trust ...

Firstly - regen items are sufficiently meaningful for solo roaming only, which is a very nieche gameplay and which, most often than not, is being practiced by high-RR & very well geared players (or super experienced). When one gets to sov-level of gear - its the point when they fine-tune their ...
