Hi All,

I just bought my first Personal Shield Generator Mk 3, and after only a few fights, it has decayed almost 700 points. Are these supposed to be emergency-use items that dont last very long, or is something wrong here?

Thanks for all replies.

Yep, they don't last long at all, not worth the price right now

They're not ment to last like armor. They are strictly for getting an edge in battle. They do a few things for ya,

1. The take first hit thus not only helpiing to protect you but also your armor's durability

2. They have no effect to HAM

3. Only armor type a wookie can wear

Depending on the creature and durability numbers, it may last a week or in one encounter. I've been able to solo my way down Narglatch cave on Naboo 5 times and still have about half of it left and its only a MK1. I made it with added durability. I've seen many around with 1400/1400 or less. Mine top 2000 so tend to last longer. I have mine hot-keyd and use it when battle is close.

ok, if i have some armor on, and i get a PSG, will it help at all?

say my armor is at 26% across the board, but i have a PSG for 7%, does that 7% actually help?

There is a lot of posts about this, you could do a search. However to answer your question yes thePSG reduces your damage by 50% then the 7% then your armor 50% then ##% on your armor. There is a bug with it however so you have to un-equip and re-equip it before combat. When you log cross a server boundary..etc. the stats % protection and what is protected shifts. Real pain at first but if you carry 4-6 on you there is almost always one that has the protection that you want.
Unfortunatly they don't last that long but if your carefull and get some repair kits you can make em last quite a while.

Hope that helps
