Someone noticed something wrong with FA after last patch? Did some testing and also some Duels (3-4 Against a Doc, no Def-Doc though). Alot of 0 Bullet FA's and Plenty 1-4 Bullets (against that doc!) 3387 Attck Rating and 2589 FA Skill on my Trox. Any of you maybe with similar experience?
Docs can now go full def due to faster heals. Might have something to do with it.
Still doesn't make sense, docs got like what, 2,4-2,6k def at most in a regular setup, then 3,4k+ FA ar still lands 0-4 bullets, and quite often too. Something is definitely borked with FA mechanics now.
An endgame atrox soldier will never miss a doc in such a testing situation that hard. There is only 1 logical explanation for this:
Shoorty just is a noob !

Confirmed! :oQuote:

I have noticed the same, and this could be an explanation, or at least part of.

I was pretty sure I read somewhere it was a miss, but guess I must have misread. Thanks for the correction.
That was accurate with earlier test versions of 18.7, but it was changed to the 50% damage per bullet thing after Michi took over.Quote:
