Pacify is crap. I've tested Pacify extensively, and used it a few times in high lvl survivals, and found that I'm better off not using it a all. Here's what I found during testing.



100% Strength = 50% dmg reduction

175% Strength = 72% dmg reduction

256% Strength = 81% dmg reduction



Sounds good? But here's the problem, those numbers are if the enemies are attacking at point blank. The further the enemies from you, but within range, the less reduction you get. Here's a sample of an enemy shooting around 15-25m. This is with Stretch mod on.

I've tested and found that power efficiency mods don't affect the energy drain one bit, so when you encounter a large pack of enemies, your energy drains like crazy. If at all, you might use pacify when you're reviving a member
