Quick question....when doing interwoven, are you maxing out the special on the kinetic layers like you do for the non-interwoven?

What the .... ?! I just wanted to click on reply to ask almost the same question here.

I'm wondering if i should max the special protection of the 3 kinetic layers i want to use for interwoven RIS. I'm able to experiment them on 95% each, so the layers alone would bring me to about 43% kinetic.... but would that be a waste because i'd hit 80% kinetic without any experimenting in the final combine way earlier?

I use the same layers for interwoven and non-interwoven. They are 3%/13% as others have mentioned. The specials line isn't completely maxed, but it's close. With 2 of those layers I can hit 71% base.

The reason it is good to get max, or close to max, kinetic on the layers is because you get more bang for the buck experimenting special. For segments and final pieces you get better base increases putting your points into base.

I've also used lighter 2%/8% kinetic layers that had 2/2/2 HAM, which basically add 8% to base without as much encumbrance as the 3%/13% layers. I do this when I have decent, but not awesome, NS layers (like around 8%).
