What is the Purpose of Balance?

AbstractCHAbstractCH
in TERA PC - General Discussion
Honestly it seems useless. Is there really a way to stack enough so you actually resist knockdowns? I've tried messing with zyrks, arise glyph, etc (obviously not a real build, just to test.) and i still get knocked down? It seems like such a useless stat, why is still in the game?

    just because you stack isnt enough, classes have skills which have a certain chance or guaranteed kd, plus glyphs.

    If its a guaranteed kd on a skill you cant counter that unless you have kaias :D

    It's against monsters. Try tanking regular monsters on low balance and see what happens :P

    Balance was a stats that used to be used to make you resistant to from getting knocked down by certain attacks from bosses. It doesn't really have a point anymore.

    I don't think it ever had a point, i've been playing since VM 2 days, at that time i remember how a lancer was testing that stat by using every Charm/Potion/Buff to max out his "Balance", then proceed to get KDed by low level mobs.

    Impact / balance is similar yo crit factor / crit resist.

    Skills have hidden impact modifiers. So if i skill is made for kd it will have something like x99999999 impact modifier. So good luck resisting the kd. While retaliate effect will increase a hidden balance by ×99999999.

    No matter how much balance you have you'll still get knocked down by bosses, low level mobs, mana missiles in pvp, etc.
