Agreement Fishing: Armor Deflection Vacancy

Post by Gorth »

DO you guys get armor deflections? I've asked this a handful of times, because I don't. Mobs do. But I can say with confidence, because I am an avid rereader of combat logs, that I have not seen a player get an armor deflection in just about eight months. I cannot recall a single time when I, specifically have.

If I'm just straight up wrong and my client is gagging it for some reason, I'd like to know so I can stop bothering with thinking about it. If you have seen armor deflections, I'd like to see logs. Please? For my peace of mind. :D

Biased report: I'm seeing it on my Guardian GM character, as well as on my freshly-minted Dreadnought non-GM-account character.

Are you gagging anything in the damage line? A glancing blow looks like this:

2 bludgeon damage (25%) (back, cuirass [glancing])

Conditions:
- You must have the Armor Deflection ability
- Must be in Guardian or Dreadnought tactic
- Your Balance must be at or greater than 0
- The hit must be on a location you're wearing heavy-class armor
- The hit must not be a successful armor chink
- A 40% chance die roll OR you are currently under the Stance: Stonewall effect

So it looks to me to be working, but Developer Bias and all that, so input from others to confirm it's working for them as well would be great.

Gorth and I went and tested it and it's successfully working. He insists he was in Dreadnought tactics, but I have my doubts...

Dunno. It worked on like, three punches out of however many. And I've been punched a whole lot more than that in the last year. I don't mean to make some issue out of it. I've made it to seven hundred Melee without it. Despite seeing it today, I will go to my grave saying that I haven't otherwise seen it on a player in months.

But I haven't actually anything intelligent to add. Just hearsay. If it works, it works, and I'm probably just wrong.

Can also confirm that it’s working for me. Last time I was in combat, anyway.

I gave up Hope
But I'm not going to be lost tomorrow; Even if it is hell
I'm gonna' crawl. "
