I know ^^<br/><br/>A neck-guard isn't too useful in grappling-range, though, which is what Nightwing went for. And a combatant as skilled as Nightwing I'm sure knows how to strike to best try and get around it.  And yes, medieval knights had the hoods/vests/chainmail...That would be the mesh bodysuit underneath Deathstroke's armor. It would protect what the armor can't, but not nearly to the same extent. But yes, ultimately as the player, it is your decision if Deathstroke manages to maneuver to keep the hands off of his throat, but the fact that Nightwing called out that is what he was aiming for means you should say that is where he hits of the attack isn't avoided/blocked/stopped.<br/><br/>And remember, Nightwing uses those shockers to knock people out, so they have to pack enough force to render unconsciousness--they're hardly basic. A tazer is basic, it hurts, but is largely ineffective in really stopping someone. Unfortunately, voltage tells us relatively nothing, the true danger with electricity in the amount of amps you get zapped with. It takes 30-40 amps to re-start your heart...I would imagine it takes roughly the same to stop it. If Nightwing's are anything like Batman's, then he could be pumping out enough electricity to certainly knock Deathstroke out, if not kill him. Now, it is Nightwing, so I doubt he has them cranked up high enough to kill...but I would definitely say it is a safe assumption a shock like that will at the least leave Slade seeing starts, if not drop him cold.
