Defense Skills

[Tracer-Bullet]

I was wondering, do defensive skills go up according to how many times you've been hit or the amount of damage you've recieved? Or has anyone noticed any correlation between the two if there's no black and white answer.

Being a melee hunter I was wondering whether the majority of us melee'ers have higher defensive skills than ranged attackers due to us being attacked more?

Cheers,

the latter, in principle, is true.

Both

I'm guessing it's being hit = chance of getting a skillgain ,amount of damage recieved =size of skillgain .

Hi

If the amount of dmg has any impact on size of skillgain I at least have never seen any proof for that.

I don't know the answer, but i can tell you that with many activities in game, the number of times performed seems to determine the number of gains, and the tt used seems to affect the quantity. Analogously, it may be that taking bigger hits gives bigger gains, but i haven't tested it.

Really, just stand there and die. Have you tried the ring? I guess if you really wanted to you could gather vibrant sweat, scan, or even fap yourself. You will gain defensive skills without attacking creatures or other avatars at all. If you watch closely, you will see that you sometimes gain defensive skills without suffering a new wound. So, I have to go with: whenever a creature attacks you, there is a random chance of increase for defensive skills.

From a small experiment I conducted a long time ago, it seemed that a hit from a Troxie Stalker gave me about twice the amount of Evade as compared to a young Combi. Experiment was not long enough to get significant statistics though.
