Nice catch...should get that fixed! It's pretty obvious that it should be 3800K, but knowing some of the people who come to these boards....

Hoo-rahh for 6800 primus battle armor!

Wow thats a new bug on me, never heard of that before. Was it just marauder? and did all three resists jump by 400? If you have 6800 energy? primus marauder now and it jumped 400, then you would have had 6400 energy? before?

So stats before jump would have been 6400E 6400K 5600B, thatsaverage primus layered stuff. You are now saying it jumped to 6800E 6800K and possibly 6000B? I would love to see a screenie of this

Given that hinderances track resists, did they jump as well or did you end up with a suit with uber protection and hinderances that can be mitigated at master elite?

Been a while but I now have these two pieces on display at my cnet shop location at the wp in my sig, if you have any available toon slots come by and take a look

---

What galaxy are you on, I want to see this stuff and will start a toon there and pop over to your shop

If this armor was sliced pre-pub 20 that would explain the high resists.. what are the hindrances on it, and can it be sliced now?

---

Yes, I wondered whether that might be the case, hinderances would be the clue there.

I think they're like 42.2%, but I'm at work...that number sticks in my head for some reason

can i get a little help?

i see the math going on here, but mostly refering to recon or assult, what about battle ?

here what i got,

energy layers @ -94 Kinetic/ 93 energy

Made Segments to 1318 energy.

Now what can i expect from my Battle core using all resources in the 900+ range

I know a weird request for battle armor but this is for a bounty hunter that wants Maxed energy Ris Armor.

im a 12 point AS with27 in Assembly.

think i can get 7k energy with theseSegments and resources. ( Net out a core of at least 6600 Energy ) with a final build of 7000 energy. ( as these are all health buffed segments don't want to waste any. )

Yea the health buffs are working again.

thanks in advance for any input.

energy cap for energy layered battle is 7200. Your layers are going to give you a 12 x 93 = 1116 energy bonus. if you can cap unlayered battle armor with your segment and core resources then you will end up with 6000 + 1116 = 7116 energy. If you can't cap, then as jedispam says, just adds your unlayered battle core number to 1116.

/bumped again...and this isn't in the stickies, why?

got a question or mabey just an explaination would do.,

ok i made 90 kinetic layers,

made 1307 Assult Segments

which netted cores of 7697. now on the final build i got

Actual - 8088 Kinetc.

AS helper said 8080

if i add 400 to final build i would expect 8097.

note: in as helper no matter how high i got the core, it still said i would only net a 8080 core.

for testing i put in 12 amazing success, said core was 8400+ but after final build ( +400 Box ) said it would be 8080

this made me think the cap was 8080.

i also noticed theprotection build was 94% this number 94% is that 94% of cap ? if so 94% of 8200 = 7708

and i got condition upto 41% is that 41 % of the cap on condition ??

is there an explanation on the math here, or could this be mostly due to the rounding factors.

could i have got better final build if i would have not gotten the layer, segment, or core as high as they are. ??

just trying to understand the math so i can maximize my resources.

thanks in Advance.

I'm not the best at describing the numbers,so I'm not going to try. Remember this though, you don't automatically get the +400 on the final appearance. The unlayered core cap is still there at 6600. If you remove the layers from your armor and your core would still be over the 6600 (which I think you would have been 6609) you would only recieve the bonus to take that up to 7000. At that point do you add in the bonuses you recieve from your layers (in your case 12*90=1080, so that's how the AS helper got 8080). The extra 8 points...probably some rounding thing on the layers is my guess.

The arm pieces are a bug in the BH armor. Either they are too high or the rest is too low, but either way it is a known issue. Condition is mostly decided in the final combine, not in the core. You can increase it then, but it only makes a few thousands difference in the end product (not enough to switch away from maxing out resists anyways). The final combine is where you want the best resources you have with high OQ/SR AND DR. You get high in those and you can experiment the condition pretty high.

thanks a ton!
