... toughness (All resistances) ...

This guide is very cool! Some information that I really should know by now, but never learned.

And I finally learn what toughness is.

Thanks for taking the time to find these and post this.

I always wondered about toughness and Blindness.
Now that I know I'll be backhanding a lot more NPCs while using my zion hardware requisition SMILEY

Does it not prevent you from changing tactic? I'm sure I read somewhere that's what confused does but I can't find it so I could be mistaken.

Its basicaly an enraged plus powerless, but does stop from changing tactics.

So, while confused you can't use abilities, switch tactics, or leave close combat?

Corrected and ordered by combat usefulness in ascending order + uses after quote.

Pacified -- Disables all actions, Breaks on damage
Blinded -- Toughness -15%, Combat Tactics -30 pts
Confused -- Inability to use some abilities (not all, which is a common misconception), can't change tactics (thus only prevents withdraw, if your tactic isn't withdraw already)
Powerless -- Inability to use abilities
Stunned -- Basically pacify without break on damage (root, powerless, etc.) + -20 CT

Pacified: Would be directly behind Stun if it weren't for the fact that it simply breaks on damage. Sucks. Only useful for 1v1, if at all.
Blinded: Good for 1v1 situations. Ability disablers rank higher than acc decreasers, though (overall usefulness).
Confused: Though could be ranked higher than plain powerless, since it only locks certain abs and not all, much of that usefulness is lost; plus a loss of tactics would need to be timed extremely well to be of real use in PvP
Powerless: Always useful.
Stunned: You win, period. You can't run, h4x me down, plus you can't hit meh, well. Got a touch of cr1.

Sidenote (disregard since it's off-topic):
Also, that makes a good comparison as to why Bedlams are fairly underpowered in contrast to Clamors:

Clamors have a base 15% chance for stun, Bedlams a 10% chance to blind, while at the same time being 60% slower than Clamors
In a 10 second timespan you have a chance of 60% to stun someone with Clamors (4 shots), but only a 25% chance to blind someone with Bedlams (2.5 shots)

That's hardly fair for "equal" collector items. Also considering the usefulness of states between Blind and Stun, this makes it even more ridiculous.

Edit: Yeah, stun does -20 CT, just confirmed it again.

Thanks Godgiver, I added those changes.

I made some changes to the layout and added pictures.

Nice work monkeymanx8. May I ask if it's possible to use this information on my site? Maybe the Beginners Guide.

Absolutely, that would be cool. Thanks!

**Rumbaar**

Sweet, thank you!

**monkeymanx8**

I finally found a picture of the "Festive" state. I wasn't sure there was a picture for it until I saw someone with it, as it doesn't show on your own status.

**monkeymanx8**

Also added the orange part, for the heck of it.
