Yddi Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 A very simple question. I think Force Scream is force damage so I am in doubt if Gore effects it with the 100% extra armor penetration. Does anybody know? PS. I did google it but i found only old topics. With the many patches I cannot rely on the information there, so pardon me if you think I am a lazy slob.

stephenjohnp Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) There are 4 types of damage: Energy/Kinetic and Elemental/Internal. Energy/Kinetic are mitigated by Armour while Elemental/Internal are not. Now with this information, take a look at the Force Scream tooltip. Force/Tech and Weapon/Ranged are not connected to Energy/Kinetic and Elemental/Internal damage. Force/Tech and Weapon/Ranged decide whether or not the ability is Shield-able/Defence-able it has no bearing on armour mitigation.

darthnish Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 yes, gore is a kinetic based force attack , kinetic dmg is mitigatable by armour, so with gore up force scream does more dmg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluvi Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Once you get geared and min/max for full power and drop your crit, you will be hitting 5-6k force screams all the time. The highest I've seen is 8k on scream, and I managed a 10k crit on the last ravage tick in a hybrid anni/carnage build (pick up both juyo increased damage talent with carnage, insane ravages). If you can get off a full Gore > Ravage, Scream (you need to start Ravage immediately when you hit gore; gore is not on GCD so hit it miliseconds after you hit Gore) off one someone, it can be an instant kill depending on their gear and cooldowns.
