Armorsmith Archive

Perhaps the developers are trying to fix the "4 piece suit issue" and put the armor hole back in.

I cant fight anything i used to be able to, Nightsisters drain my health now even when im wearing all the armour i can...2 weeks ago i could solo most things but it seems to be getting worse.

Same is happening with wookiee armour, and since all of our suits have the chest which also covers biceps and head I get armour holed no matter which one im wearing. Im guessing the problem lies in the bicep section not working. Had a NS elder wallop me for 8500 dmg the othe day

I was huntin NS's for crystals, was taking out a pack of 5 (protector, SWer etc) doing fine took out the protector, then was all down to the last one I belive it was a sentinal, nothign strong by any means.

full comp, 80% kinetic 80% energy 70% base all encum sliced, when she "HIT" (no special stright up hit)

me for 4,880 points of damage AND she was intimidated, no armor blocking . She was wielding a Scythe as well so it was kinetic damage.

I dont think the bug is ubese alone, Last night a guild mate said he dropped in one shot from stoppingshot from a thug, over 3k no armor protection, and his was the 80/80/70 as well. AND I might add the first time the suit was taken out, I had just gave him a new suit all sliced ready to go that night.

I dont know if its a "Hole" vesus a bug where its as if your armor rateing and protection in some random hit. Its as if armor itself is non-exsistent for a unknown hit or attack by higher level mobs.

I have tested 77-78% kinetic ubese vs dragonetts just standing there and never one time did i have an abnormal hit. Perhaps the problem could reside in the combat code itself for certin higher level mobs.

I hunt krayts here and there and I did notice I never got an abnormal hit from a krayt, always seamed to be an NPC mob and a higher level one at that. I feel more input and testing from the comunity is in order, perhaps keep a list of abnormal hits.

What mob was it

What armor were you wearing

Was it a special or just a "hit you for" attack

There IS a possibility it could be a probelem not with armor but the mob itself. Last night was in bestine for the event on my jedi when a nova trooper hit me for just over 1500 points of damage, through my force armor as well, the next hit from the same mob was 120. Strange indeed...

just forget about the time line it nolonger exits her hasn't for some time. we're in a virtual star wars universe and it our time line not the movies. so its what we make of this universe ourselves. once this is realized then you'll start having fun

I've killed just about everything that walks in the last week and a half and the only thing that has done this to me was the NS's, but they were doing it regularly. A sentinel with a scythe or PH hit me for like 2400 mind damage right through my 80% cold/90% base helmet. Funny thing is the combat log reflected a hit for like 800 dmg, 700 and some of which were stopped by my helmet,and I'm a master melee, so it basically tells me they are bypassing mitigation, toughness, armor, and intimidate. I got tired of getting randomly one shot killed by them so I went out and killed some krayts, the acklay, Lord Nyax 3 times, billions of crazed geonosians and other NPC's and an whole slew of animals that just happened to be in my way and not a single one of them did this to me. Also, the mind hit wasn't the only time that happened, but it's always been either health or mind, never once in my action pool, and never once when they used a force power on me, just the regular old specials or swings. Given that she hit me for soooo much more damage than she should have even if I didn't have armor on I'm thinking that there's something much bigger at work than just another armor hole.

If you are actually getting hit in an armor hole then post up screen shots showing your combat log. Sometimes lag causes the armor hole to happen. Also, in some of these instances, you may have been hit with a stun weapon to which your armor had no protection. I have yet to be hit in an armor hole wearing a4 piece suit and I play quite a bit. I've fought all the MOBs you all are talking about and have never been hit in an armor hole.

jedi have protection on robes? is this new or am i missing something??

just forget about the time line it nolonger exits her hasn't for some time. we're in a virtual star wars universe and it our time line not the movies. so its what we make of this universe ourselves. once this is realized then you'll start having fun

are the robes supposed to show stats of these protections or is it just some common number the devs made up?

Jedi robes do not have resistances of any kind. That is fact that I am 100% certain of. The only option for armor that jedi have is Force Armor in the Enhancer tree.

Also, some critters have AP1 kinetic attacks and others have ranged attacks that do acid or other types of damage.
