Not much into crafting but I like "different" armors (henceh my mabari post earlier). HOw about a tantel helm. Yes I know its "waste" but what if u put a 20%+ ns layer into a helmet along with a 10% hide how high would base go? what would be special protection?
Could one get 60% base then slice it and get to 80 base?

recon on the base starting at 25%, with your loot adding to that....
If you have exceptional loot, yes 60% is possible, with a good slice 80% including stun IS possible....

Add to that..... energy is the special protection of Tantel, with most of the points in base you will be left with energy in the 20's.... Also the rancor hide will push heat and cold into special also, thus will be stuck at the value of the hide only....

ya, really not worth it at all. the condition on tantel is so low that ifyou pvp with itregularly, it's going to decay real quick.

The view from the top of Everest is not that good either, but that was not the point... Sometimes things are done just because it can be done / nobody has done it in the past...

OK, put it this way... If I had 20% layers I would do exactly the same....

in pvp this thing would get raped. any rifleman worth his salt would switch to his 800 damage t21 and rip that thing to shreds in no time. At best you'd get 18% energy res due to buggy tantel resists.... the base does NOT raise the special.
That said, Id like to see 80% stun

Why should that make u cry?
IMO composite can not get any better than 40/90 so no use for ns layers there (Yes sure u could make a uber light PVE armor, but its that worth 20% ns?). I guess u could go RIS, but that would be a bit worse with 2 "holes". and its not that hard to get to 80 bases there I heard (with interwoven).
70-80% stun protection in a helmet would be exeptional tho, and a masterpiece not many AS could ever have make.
Anyways is there any enchancer that could add more to energy and still keep the most important in base (heard a lot about sharnaf but never looted any of it myself so I have no idea)?

The condition though.....
So what.... I bet 75% of all the RIS made in SWG never gets anywhere near combat, so things like condition are a bit pointless....
