It was planned for Fineese to ignore the 30% DR on successful critical, those are pretty much Solars words, but he is not around here, so nothing is going to be done. I brought this issue up a long, long time ago and nobody gave a shit or will give. Of course fineese will be must have perk, need to re-level builds bla bla etc. etc. but from what I understood Solar thought he done the change when wipe was, but he forgot and never did remember to implement before vanishing.
This is a change where wipe is needed to be honest.

They have nice forum, that's all, there is no future here unless the old developer team comes back, by the way you can stop ass licking too, it is just so low.
