Thread: Anyone try to using components that would Assemble over 80%? I've got the 100% segments.
I've now got the 100% Kyat segments that were mentioned in another post.. and have a specific question -
Has anyone put together the pieces that would mathematically ASSEMBLE to over 80% on an item before? Using combo of layers, scales, hides, whatever.. any combo that would put a theoretical assembly to hit over 80%..
We all know there is an experimentation cap at 80% and popular theory is putting together armor with these 100% Kryat segments would cap at 80%.. but has anyone actually tried it?
We can speculate all day long on what we think would happen here.. but I want hard evidence one way or another that it has been capped for assembly as well as experimentation.
I believe how it was worded back when they changed it from100% to 80% was that "Experimentation was capped at 80% and slicing is capped at 90%" which is what we see every day right now.. but no mention of assembly...
And if does assemble higher that 80%, would experimenting on the item for HAM for example lower it to the 80%?.. We've seen an experimentation failure that changed the stats on the experimentation AFTER the failure occurred before.. granted haven’t seen that for several months, but used to be common.

well if they highest u can get is 90% no armor how come there was a picture of 100% gloves to everything except stun and th guy has em for decoration so u can look at em in his house dont remember post though!
Those gloves were made a longtime ago, before they changed it so that 90% is the max.
100%armor can no longer be made.
Well you could wear the helm in pve like you just mentionned you would do with your chest

I just got hold of 4 segs that were 74% base.
The good - I made a chest, and got to put all 12 exp points into HAM and condition.
The bad - It capped at 80 during assembly, so no 100% chest for me.
The ugly - Got an encumberance slice. Now it's about 100 health enc, with 52K condition...but not worth using.
My recommendation would be a chest, boots, and gloves. With high condition, and the chance of slicing to 90%, they would make good PvE armor, especially against Energy (DW Bunker, Corellian Corvette)
Making a helm with those would be a waste. I know the days of Jawa Ion rifles my be nearing an end, but as long as they are around, a 90% non-stun helm is virtually useless in PvP.
