Armorsmith Archive

will anyone even make anything but energy and kinetic layers? or the new layers?

In the old system there were plenty of stun and blast armor, and elec armor was around, but I don't forsee any nonenergy/kinetic armor being made

Its too early for me to say to be honest. Havent done any CU crafting yet to understand fully how the layers might practically work with the added complexity of layer pair opposites, raising one, lowers the other and whether this is a 2 up, 2 down effect or say 2 on heat takes cold down 1. If this was the case then adding 4 different layers might have the effect of dragging everything up a bit overall.

The new resource requirements of a named gem and ore for each layer might have some bearing on this, I might not have everything instockand of course will have to see how the new weapons play out.

However, I do think kinetic and energy will be the most popular since those are now the primary damage types. I wonder whether weaponsmiths will be able to make weapons with very high elemental damage stats? low primary but loads of cold for instance. That might add some interesting options. These sorts of questions will probably make me stay armorsmith for awhile after CU hits even if experimentation is dumbed down a bit.
