[hawk999]

hi new to the class. i got few Qs:

1) does your copied skill vanish after you die?

2) is it possible to spell lock someone with JT in WoE?

3) does individual stripe skills have better chance of stripping than full stripe?

How do individual strips have a higher success rate? It was to my understanding both Full Divest and Divest "equipment here" both had a 15% success rate at level 5?

this is something ive tested many times. it may have just been luck, but when it comes to stripping snipers and other classes with high dex I can strip them almost every time as long as i use the single divest skills and not the full divest skill. I also thought i remembered it being 25% or something and not 15%... guess i didnt have my coffee yet at that time.

Oddly, according to the Wiki, it's the same chance.

I know for a fact that the base chances are the same. In this, the iRO site and Wiki agree. However, I thought the difference was in the rate that dex affected it, and iRO's website does not give the rate that dex affects single Divests and Full Divestment.

Using the Wiki as a guideline, though:
Full Divestment (http://irowiki.org/wiki/Full_Divestment) - 5 + (2 * level) + (stalker's dex - target's dex)/5
Divest Weapon (http://irowiki.org/wiki/Divest_Weapon) - 5 + (2 * level) + (rogue's dex - target's dex)/5
Divest Armor (http://irowiki.org/wiki/Divest_Armor) - 5 + (2 * level) + (rogue's dex - target's dex)/5
And Divest Shield and Divest Helm have the same success rates.

One thing I noticed is that - apparently - single Divests have a delay. This is something that - as I can recall - I've never noticed; I can instantly recast once I attempt, I believe. With high dex - and with 120 dex, you have an 0.4s cast time - you're probably making 2.5 times as many attempts as with Full Divest in the same time period.

Its the same % chance. It just feels more accurate because you know if you're casting it and can feel it alot better. Where as Full strip if you have /sf on you're in the dark.
