When are you guys going to get it? It is not always about AC as BC plays an integral part of preventing the actor conditions the reduce your AC. This is being proactive as opposed to being reactive in bumping-up your AC.
Look, my Blackwater character blow through the spider cave with relative ease because of his moderate (high compared to you guys's builds but average for mine) BC percentage and average AC. Sometimes balance is key.
He was at 166% AC & 95% BC.
Easy tekkie. As I wrote, I have 125% BC and maxed Bark Skin. I do not have Evasion, being quick so you attack first helps a lot. You are right though, many do seem to undervalue the power of BC. I love my main character as it is right now, barely get damaged
Ur right. 90% percent of the people who play believe the a good defence is a great offence. And yes Haveing a high offence will help u if ur able to attack 1st and be able to kill in 2 or 3 rounds but without a good defence for those long fights you will blow threw ur bmps fast and waits ur hard earn gold. Right now I'm at the bwm in the cabin Lvl 36 with my AC at 160% or something like that and BC at 69% Orleans something like that. And if it wasn't for fatigue I'd be leveling up like crazy
The Warrior Formally Known As Tek: You are absolutely correct. Having a good amount of BC makes a huge difference on a build, expecially in areas where the battles might last longer than a turn or two.
DR reduces the Damage Done to you, if the attack makes contact with you (even if it's reduced to 0) there is still a chance to inflict a status effect.
BC makes it so that the NPCs are more likely to miss when attacking you, leaving them no chance to inflict a status effect on you.
Yes yes, I know DR does not help status effect defense. BC is actually OP if you get it up really high. Initially, I wanted to make an all out defensive build, getting the defense against effects and the high level skill. But I can better just increase BC a lot, helps physical damage on top of all. Hope / guess the system will be one step more sophisticated in next release.
