What are good stats on an energy suit of Battle or Assault armor?
I have found the 6K padded and 7/4/5 Composite, I have found a few 'pieces' of 6.5K/6.5E/5.6B armor....
As an NPC BH, I want a universal AS oppinion on what can be made with emphasis on energy protection. (I just got back from taking a year off and found all my uber stuff not so uber anymore)
Maybe I am going at this wrong, and should do high kinetic with a psg to raise the energy def....that is if they work consistantly....the one i have now seems to work 1/2 the time.
The BH forums leave alot to be desired as everyone there is just using the FOTM, and I havent found alot of Sunrunner AS who care much to make high energy suits.
Thanks

No opinion, only fact: Assault can be made to 6100+ energy if it is fully energy layered. Battle can go to 7100+.
The question as to what to wear to a fight can only be answered with 100 percent certainty if you know what the other guy is going to hit you with. In my limited experience with NPCs, they seem to fight fire with fire. If you pull a gun, they won't pull a sword and charge you. They'll also pull out a gun, which almost always an energy weapon. Therefore, armor with high energy protection (battle in your case, it seems) backed by a good PSG is going to give you the most protection against NPC bounties. The same is true against jedi except the PSG does you no good against lightsabers.

Currently, I dont know if PSGs r bugged or are still not working correctly, but with my PSG (2500E) on, it only affects incoming fire less than 1/2 the time. I will get hit for 32 (drops psg 5pts) than hit for 450 (no psg drop) than 340 (no psg drop)...this is with the 7/4/5 full body composite, for some odd reason the 6K battle is even worse. I can understand if some were using kinetic weapons, but for the PSG to not work like this intermittenly, makes no sence.
I'd like the rebel battle armor, but until they FIX the GCW more to like it was in the past (one of the few things that never should have been changed), I wont be going combatant.
Padded looks, well dumb IMO...reminds me of woopi in star trek.
Unfortunately I cannot find any AS to make any other armors withthe higher7K energy resist on sunrunner (any volunteers please)
I am willing to collect all materials and pay for a suit of RIS with the higher energy resist, but I still cant find an AS to throw it together. Same with Marauder.
Thanks for the info, youve been very helpful.
