Only if the armor is exactly the same as current armor. Since it appears you haven't checked prior posts let me reiterate.
Wookiees have come up with versions of armor that negate the Wookiee HAM bonus.
Dosh have stat bonuses right now and can wear armor.
The Devs have stated that it will be Wookiee specific armor which can easily be made to accomodate and negate the HAM bonus.
If this is done then Wookiee armor will be on par with existing armors and will NOT be at an unfair advantage.

i would just like to say this to the peeps who continue to cry cuz were gettin armor:
no where in the beginning of the game (while creating a character) does it detail that wookies were un able to wear armor. Also my wookie was my 1st, and only character when i discovered that armor was unavailable to me i decided it was to late to start over. Seriously though, who wants to be finished with specific professions and then start over because of armor. Well not me and im sure all the other wookies can agree that we do deserve some type of armor and that it isnt UNFAIR that we get armor. On that note i would just like to say that those of you who are angry cuz of this should just stop, especially if you never played as a wookie toon before. Do as the old expression goes , put yourselves in our...umm... fur and see for yourself how much more difficult it is for us then it is for you composite owners.

our stats are like +200.. and why would that matter? when a single player can hit a wookie for over 300 and we would only be able to hit you for a third of that.

Yet someone else who is talking without knowing all the facts:

Let's not forget that armour only encumbers the secondary stats...
Yes, let us NOT forget this because it forms the basis of what i'm about to say next...
If Wookiees get armour equivalent to the composite armour that other races use, their primary stat bonuses including the 350 point bonus to health alone mean that they wil be the new Uber race, and we're gonna see a whole ton of Wookiees out there with little else. Mark my words...being a Wookiee will be the new template-du-jour...
Ah yes, everyone is going to dump the characters that they have built up over months just to start from scratch as a Wookie right? Wookies somehow become the new FOTM despite not being a profession. And how exactly do we become the new uber race? Did you hear something I didn't about Wookies getting something like composite armor? Nope, nothing like that has been said.
Speaking about secondary stats, our secondary stats are capped which makes us weaker than all other species. What's the point in having +700 HAM if you're not going to be able to migrate it and use it effectively?
Everything else being equal with regards to armour and buffs in PvP, the stat bonuses that Wookiees get give them a decided major advantage.
Saying my argument is invalid by using an example of a composite wearing human vs. a non-armour wearing Wookiee is comparing apples to oranges. Compare a human and Wookiee together with neither wearing armour and I feel sorry for the human. Wookiee will win every time unless human is VERY VERY lucky.
Yes you're argument is invalid. A Wookie won't win everytime because our secondaries are capped. Humans can migrate their stats to a much greater effect such that they will ALWAYS win a battle against a Wookies.
Also, when did you last see a human NOT wearing armor against a Wookie. Atleast you'll have the choice to wear it or not. Many of the players I duel offer to take off their armor just so that the battle is fun and not decided befor it even began.
Wookiee armour equal to others' armour does not create balance, it creates imbalance by overcompensating for the imbalance that exists now.
If Wookiees gotta have armour it should be lower resist armour compared to the other races for balance to occur.
Did WE say that we want 80-90% composite armour. No, all we want is armor equivalent to what all the other races use so that we can be on a level playing field.

dunno, i'm not a wookie so i don't know how it feels unless something hits my hands or feet.
i don't really like the idea of a wookie in armor, just doesn't seem right to me -but- i know it'll help you guys out alot. so its not all bad
that is so long as its extra encumbering to make up for your big stat bonus

for all of those who think that wookiees have a ton of HAM, give me your addresses so I can personally /slap you. We get like a 600 point bonus over humans, and our secondaries are capped at a lower level than humans, 600 points after buffs and food is nothing, and definitly nothing after armor. If you havent played as a wookiee, dont post as you dont know what you are talking about, trust me, you really dont.

Hi All.
The Armour = Good news. Why ? I created a wookee as my first Char on Eclipse, got him halfway to Master Bounty Hunter then quit the game in disgust.
Got bored came back and created a Trando on Infinity, Hes now a Master Teras, and it was bloody easy. 70% Ubese body armour and regen laughed all the way through especially after meditate 3.
Now, to all you chaps and chappesses out there who howl deresion at the poor sods still hammering away at there wookiee leave it out. Just as a small experiment why dont you all go and create a wookiee and play for a few weeks as that character so you FULLY understand what we have been complaining about go on show us all what a bunch of wimps we are ??? No ? thought not.
Nuffs enough wookiees get armour. YAY
