Tech Question

Boosted Charges - Enhances your gravidic and thermal charges’ damage, and also provides secondary effects. Gravidic charge leaves a lingering field that reduces all kinetic damage dealt for three rounds.

Is this talking about my kinetic damage? Theirs? Or both ways?

 

[Shambler]

Both ways,
This is advantageous if you use say, any energy weapon, and are fighting one of the two juggernauts in the game.

Alrighty, that was what I was worried about, worth it though as it'll provide a branch of tactics. I'll just have to be wary when I wield kinetic pierce melee elements for whatever reason. Thankies!

I don't know how much it lowers exactly, but it's not really noticeable since I use Energy Weapons, even on my melee.

Edit: Not noticeable for my own attacks, the enemies mostly use Kinetic, and it lowers a good bit.

Oh, cool I just assumed it worked both ways. Score 1 for accidently synergizing equipment and perks without paying attention.

It does work both ways, but if we assume it has say, a 33% reduction, that turns the enemy's 30+ Kinetic into a 20~ Kinetic, whilst the Vamp Blade does 8(?) Kinetic and 14(?) Electric and this would only lose 1-2 points of damage.

Now, this is all assumption, if it's much lower, like 10-15%, the enemy only drops from 30+ to just under 30, but the Vamp Blade doesn't drop a single point.

Its 50% damage reduction. It was meant to be 80%, but it was lowered because it would be too op.

Ooh, nice...
