    rather useless since OFAB Soldier Protective Gear made it ingame
    With a lvl 60 req vs the only in ql 300 ofab back? Seems rather nice since most use perennium at tl 3 for pvp to up your energy reflect a bit, if you wanna be a tad different than normal AI tank twinks...

    Yeah, but with just TMS the 30% cap damage won't be reduced enough to really notice a difference on your hp.. Should work against regulars though

    could you also add the formulas for damage reduction after 10k FA and FA skill effecting number of bullets somewhere in the guide?

    i keep forgetting em

    "There's nothing wrong with the (ranged advy) profession itself, it's just that the other 99.9% of us playing it are deluded & incompetent."

    you, dear sir, are a moron because
    1) inbreeding perhaps?
    2) got dropped on your head as a child a lot and as a result have impaired intelligence ?
    3) are bored and have decided to troll?
    4) suffer from ADD and dyslexia?
    5) Other.....?
    6) All of the above?

    Added an addendum to chapter 12 with a summary of damage per bullet and a link to Ikarus original post.

    great thanks. can you also add the number of bullets that can be fired depending on skill? i believe the forumula is - auto skill / 100 + 5 bullets.

    PS: just read the rest of his post- what's this about special forces giving an extra bullet?

    nice find, will add the number of bullets, and you are right on the formula, 5 bullets + (fa skill / 100)

    If fully perked, Special forces will give you 2 bullets, as it buffs FA by 200.

    Just found a little bug.

    For Research line:Combat Sense level 8, It adds +20 agility. not 15. Nonetheless, The total amount stated inside the guide is correct. Which is +35.

    Quick question here, the guide says that fling hard caps at 6 seconds, but some fling recharge calculating modules say it would be 4s + weap atk time... which one is right?

  12. #52
    I updated the weapons section, which was badly dated. Will do a more comprehensive overhaul and repost the entire thing once the balancing act is done.

    Tell me if there's any glaring problems elsewhere in the guide you think need changed to reflect the current state of things.

    Some of the facts are seriously misleading in the context of froobs (for example Full Auto is much less important for froobs, just to name one thing), but I don't think messing the guide up with froob stuff will do it any good. If I ever get around "finishing" the froob soldier guide I have in the making for ages now, we could reference it somewhere here for the non-expansion soldiers.

  14. #54
    You'll find most of the guides posted on the forums were made long before froobs could post on the board, so they're aimed almost exclusively at paid players. And in all honesty, I haven't been a froob soldier in so many years that I've forgotten what it's like.

    Your froob guide sounds interesting - do us all a favor and post it in the soldier forum when it's done.

    Paid players or not, I think this gun is a good starting for poor soldiers.

    I think that the formula quoted for "Burst Skill needed to cap" from Accomplice's calcs has been misquoted here:

    Should be :

    Burst Skill = floor(((20 x Rech.Time) + (Burst Cycle / 100) - 8) *25)

    ie. it should be a "+" in there instead of the "-"

    Not sure I want to go into the details and checking them right now.

    Why is it wrong?

  19. #59
    It's wrong because if Burst cycle / 100 is more than 20 x recharge time (say, for a Peregrine, which is 1.2 RCH and 4000 Burst cycle) then you get a negative result.
