Face facts, 80-90% composite armour IS what other races are using, I see lots of it on the servers. You can deny you want it, but when you ask for equivalent armour that IS what you're asking for. If you want that, then all races should get the same HAM bonus numbers...why should Wookiees get an extra 700 points when they're getting armour the same as the rest of us? Anyone care to answer that?

EQUIVALENT and the SAME are not the same word. EQUIVALENT means equal to. That means armor that is equal to composite WHILE taking into account our HAM bonus.

Why should Wookiees get an extra 700 HAM? Simple, because the armor can be made to take that into account. So if say a Human could wear the Wookiee armor it would be less effective than their composite. When worn by a Wookiee it would be equivalent to what a Human in composite is wearing.

Nowhere does it say Wookiees are getting the SAME armor. Just EQUIVALENT armor.

I'm still wondering why such a simple concept as making armor with slightly lower stats that takes into account the HAM bonus of Wookiees has not permeated your skull yet.

It's pretty simple they were gonna give us maurader 25/14 % protections, low encumberance. With our stat bonuses, and that was gonna be no where near "invulnerable", if we keep the bonuses, which will be the easiest way for them to code it, we should get at max 40% all, but we must all take into effect that can be sliced for better %'s and the top % with slices and keeping the bonuses should be 40-50 which means starting is more around 25-35% protections to all, personally,30% to all except 1 vulnerabilty, choosen by the armorsmith. Be very careful with the graphics on the clothing cause all wookiee clothing is alittle buggy. If you would ask all wookiee's and ppl involved with wookiee's (tailors), would tell you that the battle paddings are the highest on the tailor skill tree and still dont take both types of bio eng cloths, only the shoulder pad given and novice does, plain stupid that is, as yoda would say. The armor should be the battle paddings, both types, and both types of shoulder pads, allow all 4 schematics to be given to an armorsmith for them to make them and be able to add protections to said paddings and shoulder pads, thats a very simple solution for the chest armor, and it looks great already, just now it has no use since, they cant even hold both bio eng cloths, so either make it so both battle paddings, and the hvy shoulder can take both bio eng cloths or just make it so the battle paddings can, they are the intended protections for wookiees, hence "Battle Padding" roflmao, just make those 4 schematics in some waytransferable to an armorsmith so they can craft them with protections. Of course this only solves the chest, but this should definitly be the chest ask all wookiees and tailors and they will say its so. Ofcourse we would need new legging armor, and head armor, i don't believe we should get boots, arms or gloves, just chest,head, and legs.

Well, fret not anti-wookiee crusaders. Your precious armor isn't going to get nerf'd with the crafting changes and wookiee armor will most likely suck. You have nothing to worry about.

All this is not new and do you really think us wookiees care about losing ham? We want to be on a level playing ground. It is BS that because of the simple fact that we can't wear armor we're screwed out of alot of the game which is simple for most. Eg., #1 be a wook and go fight a krayt and see how long you last, eg #2 go play hardcore pvp and get your ass kicked by some noob. Before you talk about wookiee's be one, than you might realize how ruff we have it. I been a wookiee since day one in july on release. I don't whine, cry, or **edit** about it. Doesn't mean it don't suck and is unfair that cause we a picked a wookiee race that we can't do all the things every other race can do in the game. I've kicked mucho butt in dueling and pvp, is this because im better and more well equipped? Answer us HELL NO...IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE SUCK THAT BAD. I'll give you a simple answer....hmm we get 700 more HAM PTS....advanced composite in actuality gives you 80-90% and hmm that's 8 to 9 times your normal ham. Go post on something when you have a reason, not because you want to knock down other races when u have no clue what your talking about.

Sick of people like you. Let the wookie win? What the hell is that? I want a level playing ground plain and simple. Be a wookiee than talk and than see how long you last where it is easy for you cause your absorbing 80-90% of the hit while we get to take the full brunt of it. Let's see wookiee gets hit for 1800 dam by a giant canyon krayt, you know how much damage we take? 1800. Same scenerio with others and advanced composite you take 180-360 damage. So get off your high horse. Your complaint is not about wookiees, it's about being a noob and you don't want us wookiees to kick your ass in a fair fight. period

All of the people saying that this idea to give wookiees armor is stupid is wrong. The 700 HAM bonuses aren't all that helpful and our secondaries are capped off. The armor will help wookiees be able to compete in PvP. Nobody is complaining about the trandoshens having HAM bonuses AND the ability to wear 70% armor. Wookiees deserve a chance.

so what happens to the ham bonuses then?

we need wookie armor like we need a thousand jedi running around during this time period...oh wait...

Fine you don't wan't wookiees to have armor, let them do heavy armor piercing in melee combat. does that sound fair. seems like it would definately make them feel stronger. oh wait. you don't want that either? hrmm i get it this is what you'd like to see. remove wookiee ham bonuses don't let them wear armor and give them the special ability of easily targetable just so you can get your free kill in PVP. sound good?

C'mon people, it's simple math even you wearing armor completly negates our piddley ham bonuses. all our racial abilites are now nerfed. Just because we are finally getting someting to put us on a level field with other races will in no way make us Uber. i've been playing since launch as a wookiee. i don't want to be Uber, all i want is a chance in pvp and pve.

I bought this game to create a Wookiee MBH. I now have a Wookiee MBH and he can be killed in 1 shot. If you didn't know anything about the game, and were just going off the EU, you would think that a Wookiee MBH would be a pretty powerful combat class. It isn't. It's just sad. The only people in the game who have ever expressed any fear of me were n00bs with cdef's. In the game I've had crafters offer to tank. I've heard people say things like "Kill the wookiees first. They're the easiest." I've heard "Why don't you let us take out the turrets before you approach the base." That's just sad.

Now, people say, "Well, create another character then." That isn't an option. The ONLY option for me is delete my account not my character. If the character I bought the game to play isn't viable within the game than there is no sesnse in my playing the game in the first place.

Armor might possibly resolve these issues. People worried about the HAM issues are getting worked up of nothing. There are several ways to address that concern, most all posted here. Get over it.
