Is luck useful in G2?

[Death Knight]

Now i used luck quite a bit in g1, but in geneforge 2, luck's rise in cost makes me wonder if 1% to evade and hit chance, and 1 added armor is worth it. Are those still the actual things you get with it? And what is this h.e.r. in simple terms. Edit-Found that last bit, hostile environment resistance. Still same question, what is that?

 

The reason im asking here is because h.e.r appeared her too. Sorry if this confuses.

2% to hit/evade

 

1% Hostile Effect Resistance = +1% to all elemental resistances, plus mental and stun resistance in the games where those exist

HER is hostile effect resistance to several different damage types: fire, cold, magic (energy), I don't know if it also includes poison and acid.

 

Luck isn't as useful as in GF1 and the first Avernum Trilogy where you could luck out of dying and survive at 0 health. It mostly helps with damage reduction. The chance to evade damage and hit better isn't that significant above normal difficulty.

well luckily im in normal difficulty. Im not sure, would you recommend 5 points at most and the rest from training? It kind of helps me with hitting as dex is pointless when i get more out of parry.

in exile 3 i gave my characters 20 luck and they would almost never die.

whenever they hit 0 health they would just luckily stay alive
