Sabine's Darksaber Strike : WAI?

If you want people to answer, you need to be more specific about what aspect of the ability you are questioning.

It would be nice if it actually showed a count of stacks.

Fair enough. :)
Does it stack and, if yes, does each stack remove 50% Defense?

It's a very hard thing to test, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't stack. The one thing I could see maybe messing with it is stuff that increases defence (like Sith Trooper's Unique). Would the removal be counted against his total defence, so still requiring 2 hits; or would he be counted as having 200% defence, requiring 4 hits to take him down to 0%?

Some clarification would be nice.

That's hard to judge, and made me question it is as well, in p2 of sith raid today, I ran phoenix.. I hit sion with 4-5 armor shreds and only really noticed a "bump" in damage after first 2.. hmm (insert thinking face)

Whe I first got her, I tried to eyeball it and it appeared to increase damage each use. But I didnt write it down or anything.

To test it you cant use ezra because he has stacking offense unique so it will naturally make damage go higher.

Dev clarification would be nice here, but remember there are diminishing returns. My interpretation is it reduces the current existing defense by 50%. So 40% armor goes to 20%, then 10%, then 5%, and so on. So you would see some diminishing returns here the more times it stacks... I think.

Yeah, you can only remove 100% of the enemies armor, so after two hits it doesn't do any more. Maybe one day her stacks will add up - but since only 2 matter - it's no big deal.

It doesn't mention if there are diminishing returns or not. We need to know if they stack multiplicatively or additively.

Keep in mind that darksaber strike has less effect on the raid bosses. So it would be nice to see the stack count and also know how the stacking works (additive vs. Multiplicity)
