JML + Bastilla lead + Wat = problem

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Malak-cannot-gain-protection-up/m-p/9598312/highlight/false#M43165

@scuba it appears to have been confirmed for not just malak but others as well and is being looked into.

MOAR DEV THOUGHTZ?? Ok.

"In the video provided, I think they could have killed him if they didn't kill off Bastila so early.
They needed the charge gain from Linked to get Palp to his ult. Also, Fracture will really cut down on the recovery.
I don't think it's broken, but it's a powerful combo, to be sure.

PS - Not saying those alone will solve the puzzle. Might need specific modding or something :shrug:"

On a serious note, I know people give Kyno a lot of lip about moving/closing bugs or suspected bugs and to go report it on answer.ea, however that is where they will look at it, so if there is truely a bug should be submitted there and heck spam it if they are not responding to it.

Who needs the devs to say that to you, we have the forums and reddit for that.

Thanks for being so active with replying to the community Doja!

I agree with Doja it’s a powerful combo and it was built to showcase the interactions with different abilities. Using a variant of my original video I was able to get a what would amount to a 60 banner win (full health and protection) against SEE, but SEE was able to beat the new variant (leaving link up as Doja indicated in his post above). Han also stops Wat and the team is nowhere near as tanky. DR with Han and CLS were able to do it.

I believe Luke’s ultimate charge still needs a redesign and it would be nice to see his taunt not fully locked behind his lead, but it’s funny to see JML being called the best GL in the game based on a few theory crafted videos and not the evidence as it stands. I would say the most important GL to get with what we know at current time is SLKR; SEE and JML are pretty equal in worth imo.

@CG_Doja_Fett you are doing great! It’s very nice to see a dev in the forum communicating! Thanks!

That related to SEE stealing Prot based off the start-of-battle values, which was interacting with Lukes GL unique to mean it took 3 Linked-character-turns for Luke’s protection to drain completely. I don’t think that has much to do with Bastila’s Protection Up, which should be indepentant from his own Max Protection.

It explained calculations and the way that Luke was taking damaged. Using that and the previous explanations on bonus protection and protection up, then you should have a good explanation why JML becomes extremely tanky. That's what I was referring to

... huh?

My main concern is that Wat’s tech is regenerating Bastila’s Prot Up, which I don’t see as WAI. Its supposed to heal Max Protection, which is different than Protection Up.

Protection up increases max protection

I’ve never seen that before. Again, I don’t know if this is consistent with other Protection recoveries / Protection Ups, but to me the blue bar and the purple bar are supposed to be different things.

Although I wonder if that means just not Isolating JML and letting Link stay on him will eventually let SEE drain all that Prot Up away. If it is counting this way, then that should work...

It is a weird interaction.
With protection up when protection is recovered based on a % of max protection it will be regular protection + how much bonus or protection up there is used as the base.
