Game Help / AC what is is good for?
« on: September 09, 2013, 01:56:07 pm »
Absolutely nothing?
To get the max out of dodging one would need 10 Agi, Livewire, Dodger, Dodger+, HtH Evade or Kamikaze and probably Jinxed to make others pay for missing you. In Your Face! would be a good supplement, and that leaves you with 3 perks so you can't even take all the Bonus HtH [something] perks (you're stuck with hth if you want to have max AC, right?)
What good is 140 AC? Let's see...
With 180% weapon skill you have 95% hit chance at 45 hex
With 6 PE you get +16% or +32% hit chance
With 10 PE +64% or +128%
With Sharpshooter +8%
Most ammo types have -AC mods
Many gun are accurate thats +20%
...so when at 40hex, and being shot by a sniper with a hunting rifle you will be hit 95% of the time. If the sniper has ~230% skill he can even shoot you in the eye at 95% from max range.
It doesn't get much better with different weapons. A Minigunner will not shoot you from 40 hex, he'll just wait for you to come to 14 hex where we will both do more damage and have 95% hit chance. With a shotgun you will be knocked back
And the worst part is you only get this useless bonus when you are moving, once you stop to attack it's all gone!
Am I missing something or is this the most expensive and most useless thing to choose? Is someone playing a dodger? Is reality as bad as theory?
