Been told a bunch on live how this ability wasn't reducing the targets armor at all. My friend and I tested this yesterday on PTS and it is working. It showed both on his character screen that his armor went down, and on my FTC showed an increase in base damage done. Also his attacks were hitting harder too so that appears to be working as well. He was around 2k armor, and after I marked him with Piercing Mark (Mark Target morph for seeing people who stealth/invis after mark) his armor showed about 500. My bow ability lethal arrow jumped from 860 base with no crit to 940-950 base with no crit. His heavy attacks on me went from 240 to 276. I haven't tested this ever on live, since all my friends are EP so not sure if people were right in saying that it was still broken on it. But at least now it is.

    No clue, I've been told no as far as the armor debuff goes, but haven't had anyone on DC or AD let me test it on them yet.

    Mark target works just as it should on live already. It removes 75% of the damage reduction of your target. But if that damage reduction is 20% of your damage then you only do 15% more damage to the target.

    Armor and resistance works very simply by dividing your rating with the effective level of your target and this is the percentage of damage the rating resist and there is a hardcap of 50 on this number.

    Atm against V12s on live you divide the armor rating by 61 to find it damage resistance percentage.

    Mobs have very little armor and resistance, which is why this ability seems to do so little in pve. In pvp otoh it can be devastating combined with stuff like snipe shot, this is when you see those 1300 to 1700 snipe hits from NBs.

    I think the crit buff system been a bit screwy. Mage light really do seam to add more damage when I use SNIPE. It shouldn't.

    Maybe they simply fixed what buffs what and corrected the crit system?

    Actually, if your target went from 20% to 5% damage reduction, your damage went up by ~19%. Doesn't make much difference for low armor targets, but would if their armor were higher.

    Well thanks for letting me know this does work on live right now. Wasn't sure and like I said got a lot of conflicting info from people on live. Glad to here it is working. And yeah I usually only use it to mark people who are going into stealth (using piercing mark morph) or after the first few hits if I don't do enough damage to them. Otherwise if I use it right before I ambush in, they either block or pop immovable so I try not to do it then.
