    Default some global agenda questions

    i got a bunch of questions about global agenda that been bugging me.
    ofcourse i could ask ingame but figured its easier to ask here since there are some people playing it for a long time now, so if u dont play just ignore this thread :P i wasnt exactly sure where to post this because the trial is so huge its almost like a f2p game lol, and it isnt exactly p2p either cause thats optional and there isnt a b2p thread

    anyway, its a great game but its just that some things are so vague explained.
    like..
    the skill Super tank: Perfect Target Self-Slow, AOE Shield Self slow, what the hell is all this? i cant make anything of it and because of this i cant properly plan my skill build.
    what is AOE shield? i noticed i have a shield if i use a melee weapon but its just for ranged 1on1 attacks. AOE protection i understand but not the shield part :s i got health, i got power, and i got a bar that says 0/100.(is this gonna be a passive shield later or something?)

    ok nvm this lol as i was typing i realised its probably a skill like ranged-shield and checked to confirm

    but what about self-slow... is this just another word for cooldown? perfect target or ranged shield doesnt slow me down so that cant be it :s (actually perfect shield slows me down, but ranged doesnt)

    another thing are these + vallues in my skills like +10 aoe protection. does this mean if i get nuked in 3 shots by a rocket doing lets say 700 damage each will i get 690damage each? that doesnt seem much protection :s

    a little more ingame explanation in the form of tooltips would have been nice :P

    here is my skillbuild i planned somewhat myself if anyone wonders, feel free to comment on it if ur a high level assault player

    maybe swap damage shield absorbtion for medical link?

    Those numbers that have anything to do with protection are straight %'s. So +10 aoe protection would mean you take 10% less damage from AOE, +9 protection from balanced means you take 9% less damage from every type of damage, etc.

    (And yes this means with 'built' and the last 2 skills as well as +prot in balance, you gain 43% damage reduction from AOE and ranged attacks)

    There's only 3 types of damage : AOE/Ranged/Melee. If your wanting to be a tank all you gotta remember is to take built and all the way down to the health bonus in balance tree and you have pretty much the highest amount of health possible + protection available. The % healing recieved is also very nice as well for babysitting (healer glueing their gun to your *** and following you around in a match basically, it is a key strategy in both PvP and PvE)

    The -100% slow your talking about is probably at the end of the far right tree for assault right? That's meant to be for your minigun/inferno cannon. It's a pretty cool skill but no one use's it because anyone who isn't a tank type usually hybrids tank with explosives and therefor use's magmalance or tremor launcher for AOE spam-ness.

    Edit : Oh I never realized that they had the -% slowed in tank tree....interesting. But yah, the shields/perfect target all slow you down so that's what that's for.

    http://serv.hexagenda.com/skills/ Is a skill planner.

    http://serv.hexagenda.com/skills/assault.html#lo2lf003 something like that for tanking PvE would probably be ideal but there's probably some crazy builds on the forums you can try. The 4 'built' skill's are required for just about any build you can possibly come up with, probably a tad overpowered (in my opinion) but yah pretty much every build, even damage builds, include those.
