Thread: Composite armor
It use to be 60-100k.. now with resours shift on SS its up to 200k =P
The Stats and Emcumbrances will vary from server to server. It depends on the skill of the smith, quality of materials, etc.
But since you want a general idea - here are the emcumbrances of a set of composite i received last week on SS. I requested 26-27% resists on all peices and thats how it came out.
Part Health - Action - Mind
Gloves 28-26-28
Boots 23-40-23
Chest Plate 231-57-24
Helm 23-20-261
Legs 65-152-23
Right Bracer 24-20-23
Right Bicep22-19-23
Left Bracer 22-19-23
Left Bicep 22-19-23
As you can see, certain parts (Chest, Helm, Legs) have very high emcumbrances. Almost everyone who gets composite has it sliced. Its very rare to be able to wear a full set of composite with very high resists without it being sliced, migrateing points or a combination of both.
That was raw, off the forge. I took the thing to a slicer and got the emcumbrances knocked down alot. He got the full 40% on the helm which was a welcome surprise. My margins after putting on the whole thing are like 100-150'ish on health and mind stats and like 250'ish on action stats. This is about as good as it gets on SS right now btw.
This just goes back to the other threads going around about the emcumbrances being too high for such high tech-level products. Its supposed to be space-age composite, not like the plate mail youd see a knight of aurthurian times wearing.
I see a few people running around in full composite suits. How do you guys do it? I don't like the idea of being spiced up all the time just to wear armor. I have a friend who is nearly a Master Doctor but he won't always be there when I'm playing. According to my math, I can't wear a full suit (as a Zabrak) even if the whole thing has been sliced for HAM.
So, if I can't wear a full suit without being spiced/buffed up, does anyone have a hybrid suit that will work well when my Doctor buddy isn't online... and looks good? Btw, I'm getting a little tired of the ubese look so try not to include too many pieces of it.
Thanks.
Doctor's buffs, food, spice, stat migration, HAM sliced armor, well experimented armor, or all of the previously mentioned.
As a zabrak, I have to spice it up to put on my full suit of super composite (mostly 45%). It's worth it, but not wanting to take it off for any reason does put a damper on it. Though the looks on peoples faces as me and my two friends roll around in our dark blue composite suits is definately worth it ![]()
i max my willpower (300 atm with armor), idon't use helmet, get good stimpacks... basically my HP and Action regen very slowly but i make it up with a 300-800 heal.
only way for me to use the helmet is to use muan gold all the time.
Yes Comp armor looks very cool. BUT don't go for it. Armor sucks!You areMUCH more effective naked then with armor. The HAM costs are outrageous and it makes it completely useless as of now. Especially mixed in with the ability to heal yourself so easily. However I will say that if you pvp wearing a really nice helmet will keep you alive since most folks tend to target your mind pool because you cannot heal it.
