Foxcolt Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Just curious.. Last night I was in a match of voidstar and came across a consular. Unleashed a full stacked smash + relic on him and I distinctly remember seeing "Resist" instead of the normal damage amount I'm used to seeing. His lifebar didn't go down either. Has anyone come across this before? This was the first time I've seen anything like this. Edited January 13, 2012 by Foxcolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxcolt Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Are you hit capped? 99% iirc Could that be why? Wouldn't it have popped up "Missed" instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban_Thule Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 99% iirc Could that be why? Wouldn't it have popped up "Missed" instead? I was it a sage? The tank spec shadows probably have some avoidance. I think it will just say "resist" for any miss with force attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will just say "resist" for any miss with force attacks I'm pretty sure it was a sage since I remember seeing one regular lightsaber on it. So yeah in that case I'll just chalk it up to that 1% miss then :| First time I've seen that in PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasymodeX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 1. Smash is a Force attacks. Force attacks do not get dodged or parried. Smash has a base 100% accuracy. 2. Assassins have a temp buff that gives them a high (100%?) chance to resist (WHEN THEY GLOW). Not sure if Sorc/Sages get the same ability, but I don't believe so. Beyond that you may have hit some very screwy RNG to get a resist on Smash. But, resist is the correct avoidance category for Smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Force attacks can't miss (100% base Accuracy) and they can't get parried - they get Resisted. You still need Accuracy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasymodeX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 A force attack can probably miss if you are debuffed with a 5% miss debuff and have less than 5% accuracy. I wonder if it shows up as a miss or resist. But, it's exceedingly unlikely, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill have to check my character sheet when I get home (I havent looked at tank stats tab to closely to see what they can help against) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Innate defense is 5%. You need 105% to be Accuracy capped against a non-tank in PvP. Edited January 13, 2012 by Kibaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
