MarshalVaako Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) 1. Do you get "full" cover protection when your shooting or only when your "ducking" 2. What is the diffference between portable cover and real cover far as defense is concerned. 3. All entrench does is make it so nobody can kick you out of cover while its up right? 4. If the enemy doesnt have the shield icon above their head, does that mean cover is offer 0 protection from them? Do I still get the charge protection while in cover from enemies that dont have the shield icon? Thanks in advance Edited December 19, 2011 by MarshalVaako
Ervashi Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) I got you! 1) You only get "full" protection when you are ducked behind cover; you are vulnerable when you pop out of cover to shoot. How much protection you get is based on the type of cover you're using, see below. 2) Real cover - that is, rolling into the "green gumby" positions - provides you with FULL cover. You are essentially 100% protected from "direct" ranged attacks, but you are still vulnerable to AOE attacks (e.g. grenades) and melee attacks. Edit: Meant to add, Portable cover does NOT offer 100% damage reduction - it only reduces damage by 20%, if I'm not mistaken. Same rules apply, though, as for when it actually gives you that protection. 3) Yes. Very useful in PvP and very useful against some mobs. 4) Yes to your first question, no to your second. The shield indicates you are receiving your cover benefit against this opponent; if s/he has a shield, you get damage protection and are safe from force leap. No shield = no protection and you're vulnerable to force leap.
