Thread: ok time to face it, armor is done
I woudlnt say armor is useless. At your own level sure. At levels above your own. no. Sure grouping offsets damage due to level increases. HOWEVER. Armor will let you solo stuff you'd normally need a group to fight. I've also noticed a rahter notable difference between 4500's stat armor and TK's innate 6000. The TK at a lower level could take quite alot more damage than when I respeced into commando with my combat toon.
And armor sales sure as hell have not been hurt one bit by CU. If anythign mine have gone right through the roof. Before CU i'd be lucky to make 1 mil a week. Now in just 24hs I've made 6 million. And it's all in converted armor not even the newly crafted armor I'm starting to turn out with better stats.
I tried with or without armor, solo or with a group, on many planets. Armor matters, at least with my BH/Master Pistols template. It just don't matter as much anymore but I sure wouldn't go on a hunt without it.
Still don't feel motivated to log in my 12pt AS and start collecting resources all over. So, armor crafting might be done, at least for me.
