Guybrush.4762 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Plasma blast is a slow moving projectile, with a fairly small hit-radius, that you can predict by looking at your opponent attunement, and basically only bring damage on the table. It is easy to avoid and moving around even a bit is generally sufficient to counter it. It does hit kinda hard, I give you that... but honestly there is skills in the game that deals more damage and are far easier to land. You need to set it up with a CC or bad positioning from your opponent if you want to land it properly and at that point it is not Plasma blast that killed your opponent it is your CC and/or their positioning that set them up for a burst. I realize it is probably not what you want to hear, but the reason Plasma blast does decent damage is because quite frankly it should.

You're up against a full-glass power-condi hybrid build, you can probably win if you hit that player even a few times because they will take the same damage from your autohits, with only 10k of health.

That may not even be a hybrid build, that's a lot of burn to go alongside an 11k plasma blast. Don't think I could do that and I've been using staff weaver for 5 years. Probably the burn was from another player Edit: but it sounds like OP just stood still in damage and didn't think to dodge anyway so I mean...anythings possible lmao Edited October 26, 2022 by solemn.9670 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizgurk.5639 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Also we don't know where it happened. It could even be the guild hall with all the Pve balancing.

Sylvia.4870 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited)   Before the rework of the Defense traitline for the Warrior profession, there was someone who recommended me to take Rousing Resilience for gaining more toughness against a foe's damage(in fact, healing is more important once the player gets out of being stunned). That person claimed that it was helpful for decreasing an amount of damage from an enemy's strike. I was like, "You have got to be kidding me.Toughness is a lie." When the person saw my message, he was stunned and confused a lot.   Toughness is useful for drawing a monster's attention to the player. The more toughness one has, the more attractive one is in the monster's eyes. As for toughness toward a hostile player, it barely works. Evasive maneuvers, healing from various sources of the professions' and other defensive tools are far more reliable.    Correct me if I am wrong. Thank you in advance.         Edited October 27, 2022 by Sylvia.4870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between a light armour profession and a heavy armour profession is pretty small. Investing heavily in Toughness does...something, otherwise Trailblazer wouldn't be so popular. But it only works against strike damage, and Vitality is probably better unless you're relying a lot on self-healing and extra Toughness is the difference between outhealing the incoming damage and not doing so.

Guybrush.4762 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The difference between light and heavy armor classes is 291 point of armor. Without added toughness that is about 15.15% more power damage dealt to the light class. So yeah... the gap is way smaller than what you see in other mmorpg but it is still impactful none the less. To make it more concrete it is a bit like if the heavy classes were under a Protection-like buff that worked at 40% efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to have specific traits, be on full ascended berserker gear with scholar runes, have every existing boon, 25 might, be at full health, and crit on a target with 25 vulnerability. Without 25 vulnerability, that maximum is only 10 585 by the way. Take some projectile denial. Edited October 28, 2022 by Kulvar.1239 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
