Just curious. It seems worded specifically so you don't think it is ONLY explosive damage, but what else could it be? Will Sentinels be able to tank precision strikes after this? Are flux nades a, "blast," weapon?
Some help, por favor.
No, I am not CCP Logibro.
Not actually a Logi Bro anymore, more like a Big Bro.

Nope. I think they wanted to differentiate between blast and explosive, since projectiles deal explosive damage.
Any damage taken from a blast radius is going to get cut by these suits (programming willing).
Never forget

So.....a direct hit from, say, a flaylock will still do 100% damage, but splash damage will be cut 25% is what you are saying?

I'd assume so
Another game I can't remember the name of had an ability like this, armor that would reduce the damage from splash damage but you still took 100% damage from a direct hit of an explosive weapon
This would give heavies a huge defense from spammed grenades while still rewardng users of mass drivers with careful aim decent damage with direct hits |

That's what it sounds like to me. So if you get caught in the blast radius of a flaylock, mass driver, plasma cannon, locus grenade, or flux grenade you'll take reduced damage. Though flux grenades do high shield damage, so that'll probably wipe your shields anyways. And I suppose precision strikes as well, but again such high damage that it doesn't matter - you're dead.

That's how I read it. Pretty sure it'll reduce damage from any blast radius damage. (Flux, nades, mass driver, forge splash, PLC, flay lock, missile turrets, et al.)
I imagine skill shot direct hits will still be full pain.

That's what I think they're trying to say by differentiating between blast and explosive. Direct damage and splash damage are two different things, so I think that by intentionally not saying explosive, they want to only reduce the splash and not the direct hits.

I think I'm OK with this. Grenades never get direct hits, so that's my number one enemy effectively nerfed.

How does this affect REs? Will suck if heavies take more than 1. Kind of ruins any chance for a scout to take out a heavy. |
