I read on some post that Energy is probably the best layer to use or kinetic, sound about right??
I made 20%kin and 22%base suit of Tantel. I think its about 7%below best Tantel you can make am i wrong??

Last night I made a 25% base using standard NS layers and rancor hides. If my Avian bone was better I think 30% would've been doable.

Made 21% energy/27% base tantel without any enhancements. I think the maximum base resist without enhancements is 30%.

I can manage to get my tantel to 28% base. Again, my avian bone is probably my worst resource in this build.

Personally, I would say yes. The good thing about tantel is that currently, it resists everything but lightsaber, and has low ham costs. The bad thing, max 30% resists, with an average of around 15%.
Look at this way. You are a TK, doing PvE. A little armor, with very low to no ham cost. I would absorb 15% of the damage. 15% of 500 3 times is 225. I have won a few battles with some PvE by 5 points...
It is worth the trouble, because it can be enhanced, then effectiveness sliced.
PS, tantel , like all armor is AR1. That means it eats 50% of resisted damage off the top, then the 15% has a crack at the rest....
ex. 100 points kinetic damage. 50 taken by ar1, leaving 50 points. 15% is roughly 7 more points. Grand total- 57% of initial damage.

Tyyrs,
Tantel is currently resisting lightsaber. Yes i know its a bug but it is there. Tantel has no vulnerabilities and pretty low ham costs. But we never did get an advanced tantel segment

For the stun resist, I'd say it's pretty good.

I guess, because its supposed to be an "ancient" armor.
But It'd be a great thing to introduce. Imagine ultra light helms with stun resists of 50%....that'd drive the riflemen nuts.

Well for the armor itself that makes sense. But for the segments since it so old a better recipe would have been created to make an advanced segment. We are also only looking at 3 pieces of tantel still. They never finished making the rest of it.
