sacreddingo 5 Posted January 12, 2019 So quick question, myself and a few of my company were having a discussion about the tier one Hand to Hand Combat ability Shrug it off. The one that starts with -20% torpor dmg per melee hit. There stating that only counts if a player hits you. Now stop me if im wrong if this was correct wouldnt that make it a totally worthless ability toward PVE server. I am trying to explaint to them i believe its just a flat torpor reduction PER HIT of NPC or Player as long as its not ranged? Am i wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomervoncannon 1,541 Posted January 12, 2019 You're either right or they completely overlooked an extremely simple to spot problem with a skill. I don't know for sure either way, but I'd be slightly more inclined to think you're right and when the tool tip text says only counts if a player hits you, what it really means is doesn't reduce torpor inflicted for non combat reasons like fatigue, dehydration etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightstrasza 137 Posted January 12, 2019 Why care about torpor?, there's not many animals that can cause it and ranged is superior to meele so why bother being resistant to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coggage 239 Posted January 12, 2019 I've been on islands overrun with snakes, and it would maybe have been handy there. They were good at sneaking up and biting you when you were already fighting a Croc or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy Green 71 Posted January 12, 2019 Snake/scorpion venom also causes torpor, I don't think it would help with that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacreddingo 5 Posted January 12, 2019 Im honestly not saying this is a negative way, but from a none PVP form not everyone uses the META. I enjoy slow boarding and stabby stabby sometimes, Sometimes i like to go in with a pike.. its about fun for me not min maxing the game in a Beta. I just wanna know if its beneficial? And also sometimes i get annoyed by huge ( o ) snakes who sneak up as im building my houses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
