Yeah, as I said. No miss chance, just a chance of being resisted (in contrast to Amara's stun, for example, or Headbutt, which involve both a chance to miss, and the check to resist).
Amara fight bugged?

It's basically the same for skills without damage. Only differently flavored text.
Miss chance:
if(random) "your shot goes wide"
Resist chance:
if(random) "your enemy resisted"
The real difference is when there are actual roll for shot which can it or miss and second roll for secondary effect which depends on that hit or miss.
Than either you have problems with your wording or I have problems with understanding English. Probably both.
It's called context. I was replying to Nick_van_Rinj. Look up, I even quoted them.
Also I spelled it out in my first post on this thread:
Also I spelled it out in my first post on this thread:
I was talking specifically about NPCs' abilities and Paralyze status effect is technically different from stun, even if the end result is similar. I must admit though, I did skip the Juggernaut and Kara Dungeon NPCs in general.
With that out of the way, what do you think about the idea I mentioned?
Meh, you'd have to separate "purely physical stuns" from, well, what? Then you'd have to make shields do something for it, and shields are already ridiculously useful. And then you'd have the problem that it wouldn't work when you most needed it (that is to say, when your shields were down).
Purely physical = kinetic based things shield emmiters provide resistance bonus against (or 'should provide fluff-wise' in case of non damaging abilities), as opposed to things like electric shocks or Vanae Milk/other drug stuns.
Since actual resist mechanics aren't universal and defined for each ability separately, and the check for shields being active already exists, it shouldn't be too hard to implement something like that.
The main purpose of that change would be prevent squishy techies from getting stun locked at least until their shields are down, which should be a decent number of turns even for Drone Specialists. After that, it's their own damn fault.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but the Secure MP + the rapid fire and second shot skills from the mercenary is an incredibly deadly combo. Four shots per turn means I only have to use rapid fire 3 or 4 times to down Amara, the only problem is surviving until the smoke bomb debuff wears off which is easy enough to handle with take cover.
On an off topic note I was wondering if anyone knew what the Power Armour flag does on the Aegis LMG.

Most likely, if the character using it is wearing power armor, then the weapon will be more reliable (probably increases the accuracy of the weapon).
Ranged mercenary is in a really nice place, yeah. It also helps that the bonus damage from Concentrated Fire is Unresistable HP damage (best I can tell), and the armour piercing perk is pretty sweet.
That sounds like a problem with how damage scaling or Lust works. The Goovolver is listed at 15 tease damage, and the Myr bow at 10 drug damage. At those values, 100 Lust is 7-10 separate shots, which is 3 or 5 rounds of fighting depending on your multishot perks, which sounds like what is expected based on Savin's posts, especially with some enemies that have more than 100 max lust, like the Juggernaut.
True enough, having the damage scaling be the same for lust weapons as it is for physical damage weapons (stat/2 split between damage types) is part of the problem. But if lust weapons didn't scale, they'd be pointless compared to Tease.
Not really, tease would have better lust damage when considering absolute values, and likely have more perks to scale with it as the game goes forward, but non-scaling lust weapons that worked with multishot perks would be an alternate means to get that level of lust output, allowing encounter designers to actually consider the lust win condition as something more than just "easy mode".
so what I'm getting is, "be a totally slut or you can't win the fight!" I understand that is what the game is about, but its kinda dumb if that is the only way to beat a boss fight. especially since my character isn't a totally cock whore. Also since people keep talking about "it makes sense that your weapons wouldn't do dmg to her" it wouldn't make since to start jerking off in a middle of a fire fight!

the TITS universe runs on porn game logic. Water is wet, stuff falls down, stripping in combat is an excellent way to deal with people with high labidos and post battle rape is acceptable.
You can use lust-inducing weapons (Goovolver, Slut Ray, Myr bow etc). They are weapons (so no awkward tease scenes), but they do bypass armor.
What I got was. Can't shoot tank use poison or subversive tactics. Beginning of the game said it. Though realistically if you're gonna wear power armor on a planet of subversive lust tanks you migh as well get a Atma okay undersuit aand be untouchable.
Why do people not like techie? I feel like in the latest content patch they've really gotten fucked for some reason or other. In a modern age, wouldn't they be the most flexible due to their skills surrounding the current era tech ie.) hacking subsystems, shutting down of powered systems via emp attacks, etc.? As they are now, it seems as though they are more effective against races that have less tech in them than cavemen, which makes no sense in my honest opinion. It might just be my gripes with the game, but I've been thinking about this over the past few days, and it really irks me that techies are basically useless against enemies that are so reliant upon technology.
I don't like techies since they don't have an energy regeneration skill, but I'm not sure I see what you mean by them getting shafted against high-tech enemies.
Wouldn't be so bad if sex didn't also drain your energy, which really fucks you over as a techie if you're out in the wilds and caught with your pants down (literally and figuratively)
mango's, peps need to learn to carry this new item around
I dislike items being needed to cover a basic competency of the other classes.
To be honest, I wrote that rant this morning
Now, these are just examples - I am NOT suggesting that this is the way things should be. Rather, I'm pointing out examples of what the class system could be like - and how it may make choosing a class more of a thoughtful choice and may provide more meaningful distinctions between the three current classes. To be quite frank, I'd be happy even if they reversed it and made the techie good against natives and bad against tech - if only for more class distinction.
Now, with this said, I also realize the difficulties with this type of system: it makes balancing fights particularly nasty, because you don't want fights to be too easy for the right class but you also don't want the fights to be too hard for the other classes. This creates a very hard situation in which it is made very easy to mess up due to the need to fine-tune fights.
However, with the game not nearly finished, the current iteration is perfectly fine and I'm simply happy that we even have a class system. It adds a certain lovely flavor to the game that I personally enjoy.i'm totally not buttering the devs up nope no sir
Even if Amara's suit was airtight and had some sort of Lust suppression system, she still wouldn't have anywhere near enough Lust resistances to not be 'a boss with Achilles Heel Libido'.. Besides, any other possible exploitable weakness she could have had makes even less sense, and taking out a proper military model of power armor the hard way should be way beyond PC's capabilities.
Maybe non-Mercs could get a stronger version of Heroic Reserves to make up for the lack of Bloodthirsty (I think that's the perk name).
Lol no. Gun Mercs have to deal with it, smugglers are cheap on energy when you're not wasting it on all those spec attacks and have a recovery and well maybe the Techies could use it. Carry around a mini reactor.
