kweassa Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Just came into mind. What if a Combat/Carnage Sent/Mara invests a little into defense rating, brings the average defense chance upto around 10~15%, takes the skill Saber Screen for an additional 3% to bring it upto 18%, and then tries to manage so he can keep Transcendence up as often as possible for an additional 10%? 13~18% Defense on average, and bursts of 23~28% defense chance in between... would that be a viable build for against classes that rely on a lot of intermittent white damage skills..? God.. I wish SWTOR had more power/build customization. (Ofcourse, more customization also means less balance.. but..)

cashogy_reborn Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 not sure why you would want to do that.... iirc force/tech attacks still ignore defense chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no class can just live off Force/Tech. Usually the "intermittent" attacks range upto almost 30~40% of power/skill usage frequency depending on class, and often some white-damage skills are crucial as a set-up power. Besides, just for the heck of it.. and a little variety too, I guess Where's the fun in using a clone-build? If there are any variety options for wackier builds, I'd be interested in it!

K_osss Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 not sure why you would want to do that.... iirc force/tech attacks still ignore defense chance. Do they ignore defense or do they just have like 110% accuracy to begin with so don't miss? Suppose i could log in and check.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_osss Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 You are correct unless they changed something in 2.0 - i stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_osss Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Btw, I've toyed around with that build and idea. I've played around with it for the dueling novelty of it. But look at askmrrobot and check out how much other stats you have to sacrifice to make your defense chance significant. I also played around with increasing the Rebuke duration in the Focus tree and the talent that reduces it's cooldown when you Riposte. It's interesting but you should try it and form your own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
