gabusan Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Is smoke grenade any good? Just how much damage is it reducing from a crazed sith warrior pounding on you while you shoot at some distant target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreemanCal Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yes its good if your a tank get it and use it often, if your not a tank stop trying to hybrid spec you have bigger problems than the specific amount of damage reduced from smoke grenade.

Jartoo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Smoke grenade is a great skill as a Shield spec Vanguard but I would not go that far into Shield tree unless you are going for tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabusan Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am not exactly anthusiast abour farting all over the war zone, so I would like to know if it will indeed allow me to survive a couple of seconds more before going down.

Jartoo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 If you only care about PvP Smoke Grenade is situational and mainly only good for Melee since they have to be in the smoke to be affected. If you are Shield spec for PvP then I recommend getting it for the 1 point it costs if you are not forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfhourofpower Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There's not set dmg reduction it relies highly on RNG. You could have the best run of your life and avoid everything or the worst and avoid nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabusan Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Does it make those sith warrior hit 20% less of the time or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabusan Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Okay, I got it to see myself how does it work, but I am not sure I understand it. The effect seems to dissipate fast, but the tooltip says it lasts 18 sec. It places a debuff on the enemies that lasts 18 secs, or they have to be around the area of the smoke to be affected by it, even if it wore off?

Jartoo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) The overall mechanic of Smoke Bomb is simple. Use Smoke Bomb all enemy players in that area get the debuff which lasts 18s even after the visual effect of the smoke goes away the debuff persists even if they leave the original area of Smoke Bomb Since it is a % based skill its overall effectivness is RNG one use may make them miss 5-6 skills the next they hit all 6. In short yes if you are worried about SW bashing your face in from melee Smoke Bomb will help you survive longer the actual gain being random but it certainly does not lower your chances.
