stopped reading on take voodoo, say hello to 100% knockout on each shot!
Yeah okay keep telling yourself that.
Keep in mind you do get normal damage resistance buff alongside it. and with quick recoveries what few knock outs that occur last 1 second.
And even then they don't occur often if you got the appropriate perks.
Defending statistics
The statistic that is rolled against to apply the effect depends on the effect:
Strength - Knockout, Weapon drop, AP drain
Perception - Blind, Disorient
Endurance - Cripple legs and arms
Charisma - None
Intelligence - None
Agility - Partial Armor Bypass, Knockdown
Luck - None
From the wiki.
Get high strength, high agility, high endurance. but of course we already know this. Take man of steel. Naturally. Critical Strength, both quick recovery, toughness, adrenaline rush. These are the perks that I took to resist damage and critical strikes, and I am pretty much never knocked out. Ever. Hell for the longest time i hadn't even taken critical strength, and I still exceedingly rarely got knocked out, and even if it DOES happen it lasts for a short enough amount of time that it's like a regular knock down. Also with the second quick recovery you can get over voodoo's ending effect of suppression 20% faster, etc. Of course if voodoo is wearing off your enemies should be dead anyways. If they aren't you're incompetent or dead.
also keep in mind that the massive speed increase from leather jackets and voodoo makes up for the down time from what 5% chance of getting knocked out you have.
@Fayfay Voodoo is amazing for fighting even against a small group by yourself as you can easily outrun them and thus perform brutal hit and run tactics. But I don't know what the fuck you guys are expecting, a rambo with a sledgehammer? Numbers fuckin matter and that isn't going to change, but voodoo is amazing for close combat characters if they build right.
