Greetings Starsider, Master Armorsmith Asmo here.
I made a customer of mine the 3 piece set of Tantel yesterday afternoon, and to my suprise, it canme out with no Vulnerabilites. I was making it for the energy so I used a 14% energy layer'd segment. after experimentation i got the Special Protection of energy to 49% and the base was 11%. to ALL, yes this included Lightsaber and Stun.
We didn't actually check to see if the armor was actually blocking these types of damage, but it definately is showning in the Base Effectivness listing of the armor's attributes, and has NO Vunlerabilites..
This has more than likely been borked since publish 9, but this is the first Tantel I have made in months, so nothing recent to check it against on what it's vulnerabilites are supposed to be.
******* on Another note i made a R.I.S. Helmet and Leggings later in the afternoon yesterday as well, and they were LS/Stun/Acid Vulnerable. I used 8% NS layers and 5% rancor hides at the customers request and ended up with 80% Special protections and 79% base.

The vulnerabilities will show up after you log out of the world for a while. Look at that tantel armor that you made tomorrow.

Tantel always add stun resist, and as far as I know always have been the no vulnerability armor.
But for LS, I would wait a little before saying it isn't a bug.

Tantel doesn't have any vulnerabilities. It is supposed to but since they fixed the stat shifting it shows up with no vulns all the time. Not sure about the lightsaber resists. Also not sure if the no vuln is just a display bug. Jaato asked us a while back if we wanted the devs to fix this problem, but I don't think anyone said yes. 
Someone should test to see if this is in fact true. If the armor protects against everything then we should leave it as is. But if it is in fact just a display bug then we should get the devs to fix that bug since we would be lieing to our customers by claiming that Tantel has no vulnerabiities.

From Our Correspondent's Guide:
Tantel Armor
Special Resistance: Energy
Vulnerabilities: Acid, Stun, Blast, Electricity
Tantel is an ancient armor that consists of a helm, boots and chest plate. There are no tantel arms, legs, or gloves. Tantel comes in a wide variety of colors and is also very light. It is a favorite among those who do PvP as it's main protective element is energy. For those that like a low encumbrance armor then Tantel is the way to go.
Obtained at: Personal Armor II
I have not tried to make any Tantel since Publish 9, but is it really confirmed that these four vulnerabilities are in fact base protections? If so, then I suppose the FAQ should be updated.
My understanding on lightsaber damage is that it may list it as a base protection, but that that is merely a display error and it offers no such protection.
My real interest, however, is not lightsaber damage but stun. I would very much like to know from anyone who has made post-Publish 9 Tantel whether it does indeed have NO vulnerabilities to the damage types listed in the FAQ.
Thanks.

If I remember the patch note from the weekend which they said would be fixed yesturday, July 6th, the lightsaber vunlerability is reading incorrectly on some armor. The way I heard it there were only supposed to be two types of armor with lightsaber resistance and tantel was supposed to be one of them. I forget what the other is supposed to be be. I have not tested the resistances of lightsaber on any armor as yet so can't say for sure what has it and waht doesn't

Okay, but does anyone know if OTHER THAN LIGHTSABER damage, there are any vulnerabilities in Tantel now?
Thanks!

I play on TC as Armorsmith and i even asked a <SQGQA> (Nesh) on TC today:
- Tantel does not have LS resist and is not supposed to get it. The initial LS resist after crafting is a bug, it should not be there. You lose the LS resist displayed when you retrieve it from a vendor, when you lof off for a while or after server reset.
- Tantel has no vulnerability other than LS. The base protection affects everything else, inclusing stun.
Hope that helps,

Guys i hate to tell you this, but this has been posted all over and is in the loading screens when the client loads. The Tantel Lightsaber resist is erroneous. I had 3 peices made, sure enough, 40% lightsaber resist
I equipped all 3 peices, had a jedi beat on me with a WEAK WEAK saber, looked at my combat log, not ONCE did the lightsaber damage get absorbed into the armor, not once.
Second test was he took out a more powerful lightsaber. did all sorts of attacks on me, i had a friend who was a doctor continously healing me for a good 2 minutes of beatings. again NOT ONCE did it resist lightsaber damage, My Armor Was still in FULL condition Afterwards.
I would like anyone else capable of testing this to try it and see if it works, it could be the tantel i had made post pub 9 is bugged, who knows
