The rumors include Blast Shield. Which is confusing, because it doesn't involve damage reduction.
I don't know how to test by myself.

AFAIK the only reliable way to test this for damage reduction perks is through PvP since you can see the numbers for damage when shooting another player. Blast Shield can be tested by standing in the outer area of the radius of an explosive attack like a boomer grenade

Figure a duel works.
And I want a 2nd opinion( other than my own) on how far away I am.
Hopefully I'll see someone I know later.

If I'm on...hit me up Ken!

It feels like it's defensive perks not just damage reduction perks that can't be stacked. So if you are using the regeneration or the health buff they would supercede all other DR perks since they're always on ?


That may be why the others like the 50% damage on shield break doesn't seem to be working possibly.

Thanks. That piggy scene from Deliverance always makes me smile. :)

Remember back when Trion lowered the EGO level to unlock all the perks because they wanted players to be able to have fun making crazy builds using as much of the game as they could.

So I guess that's out the window....

Going back to my research, I think Rear guard is the next in line over thick skinned if TS isn't working.

Regen and fortitude are still a must though.

I haven't played in so long though.... No telling what's good or bad anymore. Good ol double saw with preparedness will always trump anything the game can do to break itself. That is until they break preparedness.....

Hey Maqickats242,

You like my new signature?

Thick skinned works against canker.

LOL not as scary and sad, and yes, disturbing, I feel bad for all the little piggies that were made to squeal. :P
