Return of Reckoning

So... 'strikethrough' just adds to the upper limit of the roll. Prior to this update, contested avoidance used to be a roll between 0 and 100, and then was calculated using a different, incorrect formula that normally resulted in -6% to 7% base chance to avoid for those who stacked offensive hardca...

From what I have played so far, you pretty much defend nothing. Everyone is doing more damage. the defense chances should be considerably higher. I'll post about my interpretation of it in the general discussion forum. Have you played this morning? I don't know if the new formulae are working as in...

Clarification about DOT defense. IS the following true? 1. If the initial hit is defended, the ability doesn't land and so there is no damage. (Same as current.) 2. If the initial hit is not defended, each dot after the first has a chance to be defended but a successful defense does not remove the ...

It is fairly straight forward to get tier 2 and 3 influence rewards. Just go to the zones when they are open, find the most contested BO and stay there and fight. You'll get influence from both BO ticks and kills. This adds up very quickly.

You don't get much defence from just using a shield. Most of block chance comes from the % bonuses from gear and abilities. So to make it useful, you'd have to add these things along with the shield.

Enraged Beating is meant to have 7 hits. They were timed at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0s. Relentless and Myrmidia's Fury had the 6 hits at 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 3.0s. Ether Dance and T'tree Hit Combo had 5 hits at 0, 0.75, 1.5, 2.25, 3.0. All of the melee channelled abilities worked this way, w...

The complaint is that the abilities do less damage than spamming Precision Strike/Ravage over a 3 second period. So, how is their damage not the issue? Who was talking about an arbitrary change to their damage value? Simple dps tests for different strength and weapon skill combinations against diffe...

The only real question is whether or not the abilities do more or less damage in 3 seconds than the kotbs/chosen can do with other direct damage abilties plus aa (taking proc into account). If they are doing less damage, buff them. If they are doing more damage, they don't need a buff. That isnt th...

With regard to Vaul path abilities: Crushing Adwance defence bonuses are fine, but the interrupt suffers from being on the stance system. It already has a 10-sec cd, so the ability could be changed to not requiring a stance so that the interrupt is easier to use. Crashing Wave still suffers from the...
