Personally, I like Exceptional Rancor Hides. 15% base effectiveness. Now all I need to do is experiment to make sure I get everything right. I may actually be able to make a full 90% (all stats) Chest plate and helmet. Wouldn't that be nice?

I'll confess I have a secret hankering to make myself a suit of armor using 1 stun layer, 2 ns layers and a ns shard.
The stun layer just 5% stun or so to block the stun vuln, and then ns layers to add tons of base. Then after slice I get a light stun armor with either super high base, or insanley low hams.
Except for the helm which would of course be triple stun layered with a ns shard.

just remember that that armor is going to be destroyed in no time against stun weapons since decay is 20% of damage you take not damage absorbed by the armor
Ahh, but it'd be destroyed a lot slower then if it was stun vulnerable
. I wouldn't use this armor for pve, just pvp, so I don't expect it to get that big a workout. Almost all stun damage gets done to the head in pvp alas, the 5% stun in the other peices is just for geo pistols, and stun batons (they're ap 0 right? can't really recall, they may be ap1 in which case it doesn't much matter).

Ok - so then a helm with higher stun resistance makes sense then, right?

yep 
A suit like that would be good for the geo cave, but I'd use just a normal light stun suit for that. A suit made using NS layers and shards is worth to much to use in the cave. PvE suits get chewed up and spit out too fast for me to use hard to aquire loot (or time consuming anyways) for them.

OK - but it'd be relatively safe to get use loot on a PVP suit, rite? They don't get chewed up nearly as fast do they?
