DB and the Weaken combo

I've been working on a DB/Elec brute and thought the weaken combo might be something to look into. I don't currently have it, but was wondering if any of the experts have any actual experience with it. Does anyone know the numbers for weaken on a brute and if the -to hit is resistable or unresisted?

The numbers for the tank are "... specific effects are flagged: Defense -0.07 for 20s [i]If Dual Blade Debuff Mode 2 ToHit -7% for 20s ". TY to Siolfir for the numbers.

Tohit debuff of 7% is nothing to sneeze at as brute DK is only at ~10% (~16% slotted). Combining would be ~23%, which is what DK for a rupter puts out.

Basically, I'm looking at possibly adding Nimble Slash so as to open this combo. If the numbers are good enough, I'll try it out.

I now most ppl bash it, but any input would be appreciated.

According to CoD:

  • ToHit -7.5% for 20s
I see no mention of "[Non-resistable]" there, so I'd presume it is resistable. It will also get hit by the purple patch if you're fighting higher level enemies.

That's what i figured. I just thought it would be nice to make it unresistable.

Still makes a nice combo to add with DK if you go that route with your brute.

It's not worth it, noting that the Sweep Combo gets an extra tick of damage iirc.



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
