force barrier broken?

[mr_raider]

Does the force barrier line of powers work? I checked closely the combat logs during the handmaiden sisters fights, and so only the -2 reduction for toughness applied. Didn't see any reduction for the barrier power.

Never use it, except on Bao, but even then I dont notice anything different. better off using Force Valour

i never used it, but rather gave it to kreia and set her as jedi support. then when we attacked she would use all of theose powers to protect the characters attacking. i never paid attention to the bonus it gave.

sometimes there are worthless force moves

The question is not whether it is worthless or not, but rather whether it works at all? If the damage reduction is applied behind the scenes and doesn't show in the log, I'm happpy. For energy resistance for example, the log clearly states that there is an energy immunity effect reducing damage. I've also heard that marauder/weaponmaster damage reduction feats don't work either.

 

I'll have to do more tests.

The Weapons Master damage reduction feat does seem to work.

 

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I changed the Handmaiden's class from Jedi Guardian to Weapons Master as soon as she was "Jedified." After she was a L7 Weapons Master, and had the "Inner Strength II" feat (10% reduction), I did a comparison, by taking her and Mira to the Dantooine sub-level, where all of those electrical overloads could be performed.

 

The feedback showed that Mira suffered 1000 points of electrical damage, and that the Handmaiden suffered "only" 800 points, since she got an extra 10% reduction from the Improved Toughness feat.

 

I also checked the feedback when fighting the Sith Mauraders at the Trayus Academy. Sure enough, they were taking 85% of the damage that the other grunts in the room were taking.

How can 10% of 1000 be 200?

10% from Inner strength, 10% from improved toughness
