Did some dueling and I am trying to figure out the scope of things after studying the combat log.

Damage verse protection when facing an opponent.

I have innate armor, I am wearing a 2400+ energy psg, and I am using a VL putting out 715 dps when I am fully prepped. My melee defence when when fully jacked is around 375 without COB.

My opponent was using RIS armor with higher energy protection, no psg, and a high damage VL.

We are both Master Pike's and it seemed that our damage was on level when my innate armor was facing his RIS armor.

innate armor is at 6k and I was backed by a 2400+ energy psg since he was using a VL. He was armorbreaking me alot, but how does this effect innate armor?

Since he had on a higher level of energy RIS protection armor compared to my innate, and since he was not wearing a psg, would I have done better damage against him if I was using a kinetic pike at 550 dps? Would the loss of 200 dps verse low protection kinetic RIS armor have done me better?

Unsure about the new slices and I couldn't get any info from my opponent. But are these new armor slices working like they should? I mean, if his RIS armor has 1000k better energy protection then my innate armor and its sliced to absorb a 2% damage chance with a 25% armorbreak reductions, innate armor doesn't seem so nice anymore to crafted goods.

I know innate armor saves money, but how do you crafters feel about protection? Has anyone listed or figured out the formula of weapon dps VS opponent defence/armor/food enhancement.

Eeeewwwwwmy headhurts.

Thanks for the advice and help!

psg only works on ranged

and id say that u pretty much suck if u cant win with IA against a dude in armor, thats my 2 cents tho

Iwifia if I want a childish answer, I would of asked a 3 year old. Obviously you missed the whole point of the post. So next time, cash your 2 cents in and buy a clue. Thanks!

Well regardless. PSGs do only work agained ranged energy attacks ONLY. They wont help you in melee combat at all. (Except for imperial PSGs which will at least give you a +10 melee and ranged bonus). Asside from that though, depending on how his armor was crafted using a kinetic pike may or may not have made a difference. If he's got it layered for energy. Then yes. As energy layers trade off kinetic damage for energy. (IE it will lower kinetic resists by the same ammount as it raises energy). So say with max layers you'd turn a 6000 resist across the board suit of battle armor (Which is what RIS is) into a 7200 Energy, 4800 kinetic 6000 special resist suit of armor. In which case yes. You'd be better off doing kinetic damage instead of energy damage to him.

So best thing to do if you find your not doing any damage to your opponent is switch to a different damage type. Recon is generally very godo against energy, very poor against kinetic, Assault is good against kinetic but poor against energy. And battle armor is right inbetween.
