From my math, your energy layers were probably only around 85% on experimentation(which might have been the best possible on your server, I don't know) but that, not the cores and segments, was the reason you were still so far from the cap.

Assault armor has an unlayered cap of 7000 kinetic/5000 energy/6000 special. You get UP TO a 400 point addition on the final combine, so you only need your cores (not counting layers) at 6600 kinetic/4600 energy/5600 special to reach that cap. If you go over, you only reduce the amount of the 400 extra points you get. In your case, since you only went up 118 points, I bet your cores if you removed the layers were 6882kinetic/4882 energy/5882 special. Since you are only 118 points from the cap on the unlayered part, you are only added that much at the final combine.

THEN, they count your layers into it giving your the resists that you got.

In summary, you went a little overboard with your core and segment resources and need to improve your layer resources (if possible).

Did that make sense?

Makes sense. Thanks.

I'm not sure what the experimentation % was on my layers, but they are +92E/-93K. And yes, that is the best possible for my server.

nice chest ... shame the new crafting buffs and new spawn had given me 100 energy more on my mando suit

I took alook at that suit in your sig. I don't think you really have anything to be complaining about.

My chestplate
I got the schem about a month before health enhancers were fixed, but finally gave in and crafted it like a week before

tell me about it. i just crafted my mando chest and pants a couple days ago, and both came out with only 2 sockets. was just a little ticked off. i went with primus layers on mine, and got up to 7589 kinetic, 5589 energy.

AWSOME STATS!

Grats man. TBH I don't eat cake anymore, my results (not scientific) have pointed towards cake giving me repeatedly poor results combined with capped assembly. Found this to be the case when I did a suit of enhanced RIS, all the peices with cake were 1 and 2 sockets, even had a zero. When I stopped eating the cake I went back to 3-4 stable. I still get 1s and 2s on occasion, but no where near as often as I did with the cake. Maybe the bantha butter was bad. When I wasn't assembly capped the cake helped alot, but with the cap it just seems to adversely affect my peices in my experiance.

Not meaning to hijack the thread but im going down to the dwb in a couple of days to craft the guilds chestplate. We have not been to the AS room yet (primarily concentrated on helms and jetpacks) so im alittle worried about the crafter dying as i dont know the spawn points and where to position the group.

Does anyone have any advice or a usefull link at all?

the AS room is pretty easy. there's only 1 level to it, so you dont have to worry about making sure you get aggro on mobs above/below you. but ya, just have everyone stand on the opposite side of the room from you and taunt/dominate mind all the mobs onto themselves so that they stay off you. i think only 4 mobs spawn in the AS room, so it's not too bad.

gratz on the armor..will use that for a ref...i am not a AS..but loot mizer..heh...i have gotten all the bharmor components off the blacksun on yavin and now getting the armer enhancement thingies from acklay....i have group of friends that i do the dwb with..we just started about a month ago and been getting everyones jetpacks..which i also finally got base for...i dont mean to highjack the thread but since you just went thru it..figured you could answer couple questions for me...if you dont mind..if so then just ignore this post.....1. do you have to make a trip for each piece of armor...if so ..that means 10 trips..or does bracer and bicep make both at once which would cut it down to 8,,i have two of each so np there if so..2. i take it i will still need 8/10 of each of the liquids off the ghost wraiths?....

i have a armorsmith friend but he has never tried to craft this before . so i figured on starting him out on the bracer or biceps first to see what happens...i guess the boots/gloves and belt . dont give protection do they...so maybe do them next..and save helm/chest/pants for last...anyways..thx for your time..peace out

cool..thx for the info...i got the peko peko from pre cu..so that shouldnt be a prob..just gotta find em in my dam mess of loot..lol...i very much appreciate the info...will start with the helmet as you suggest..i got like 5 of em..so if he screws up..we can always do another..lol...will follow this thread for awhile..to see if anyone posts more info...i may even make one of my alts AS..if friend has probs..peace out

oh wait..i had nother question..and again i am so sorry for what has now become a thread highjacking...but noone else would answer my questions......if we take the helm component and all the feather enh..arm enh..etc etc...first trip..can a DE make the helm..or does an AS need to make a schematic from the bh/mando loot first...do you get my meaning...and then we take schematic and de down with all the liquids / feather/arm enh..etc etc...i hope i asked that right..

for the helmet, you have to take a DE with you. he needs to have a BL, PLC, BH helm, and alum mineral. He drops all the loots into the crafting droid and starts the process. When the process is complete, he will have a schematic for Mandalorian Helm in his inventory. He then needs to use the radial menu to learn the schematic, and then needs to get Assault Armor cores from an AS to use in the crafting of the helm.

man i so glad i am just a lowly jedi..yall have it rough as AS,,crafting profs...so last post brings question back...once DE does what you said . can he craft the helm or does it take another trip ...again...sry...i can kill anything in game...but i know crap bout crafting..thx again for input
