Armorsmith Archive

Just my 2 cents - personally, I like to play unbuffed when I can, it's more of a challenge, so I care very, very much about ham costs!

I'm putting together that type of armor myself, but with some things in mind:

1. For humans, Head:Chest:Boots:Gloves will cover you w/o holes, but will wear out fast.
2. Only need stun on Head:Chest, as those are areas that riflemen hit with their specials(mostly), same with everything else actually.
3. Continuing from 2, I am getting a stun helm, stun chest, and getting them sliced(eventually) and having 3 suits of electricity layered comp made, then sliced.
4. Out of 3, I will put together 1 'questing' suit, and 1 PvP suit, and giving away the rest to guildies...

So, with this process I spend about 1.5mil on the comp, and about 250-400k on slicing, depending on results/smuggler.

For you, you can choose 2 of the 3 things:
1. Low Cost
2. Mobility (HAM)
3. Protection (resists)

If you want your uber suit, be prepared to do a lot of running around, and spend lots of cash.

Wow.. 5 star. Very nice reply. You made it so much easier for me by making such a detailed response. You know your armor very well. I'm sure your very popular on Bria.

ok now the mushy stuff is said and done. I have few more questions You don't have explain your answer to save you some time.

Question 5: What is the highest base you seen or heard of? (just being curious) **made with non loots or enhancements**

Question 6: What is the highest base that is made by most Armorsmiths? (kinda looking for what I should be buying without hurting my bank account)

Those 2 questions were needed to get an answer to this question.

Question 7: With the answer to question 6 in mind, if you were to get stun armor to that base and put rest into the stun resist - What kinda stats would the armor have? Take a guess what your helm would be. (Im looking at having the high base resists with as much stun as I can)

40% stun/ 66% base helm has 77/74/299

??% stun/ ??% base helm has ??/??/???

/kowtow /deepbow - Thanks Again!

For the armor hole protection. I want to completely understand this.

Question 8: What I don't get is why would they make the shot look in a different spot if no armor is present. The shots where getting through the pants, shoulders, and arms?

Question 9: So at no time if the shot hits the gloves, boots chest or helm it wont make it threw? (assuming no)

Then why was it getting threw on the pants, shoulders, and arms?

Question 10: I hear by just wearing the helm, chest, gloves, and boots it makes them decay a lot faster. But not having to buy the other 5 peices per suit and not having to slice them and getting good slices. It is cheaper by just doing the 4 piece suit and replacing them more?

Thanks for help once again

the non pant and armor damage is there some time 3-4 months maiby longer..... it works most of the time but when hunting NS some will polearm NS will make nasty leg hits

and Armor hole is there also even when using a full suit
general 1 of our 20 people in DWB runs get killed by the armor hole, just not normal when a Death Watch Ghost hits you with 4k damage and your 90% suit is't repelling any damage of it and one hit DB

I balanced my armor production for it when making 150 suits a week I make 250 chest 200 gloves 200 boots and 200 helmets.... sales are balanced on the factory run then
