I bought 5 PSG's and sliced them...and luckily 3 of them were for resists. Now I have 3 PSG's with 54%, 55%, and 56% Stun resists. Just wondering if these are equal to a composite piece that has an equal resist (although I don't think comp goes that high in stun...just in theory). If these shield generators DO work just as well as armor, then these PSG's sure would be badass in PvP with such great stun eh?
Also, if I have a shield generator on while I have armor at, will they stack? If so, to what cap?
As you can tell I'm pretty much a n00b with armor...all I know is that armorsmith's want the NS shards I find, and I like composite armor lol

ok for the comp question no that PSG is way better in stun defence PSGs cover the whole body in denfece so its good to wear that and a full set of comp

To my understanding of game mechanics which I could be wrong on they don’t exactly stack but are more of a layer of defense. Not working on the ideas of AP0-2-3 differences and strictly AP1-AR1, a 50% stun shield would absorb 50% of the initial damage and take a hit to condition. The residual of that hit would be passed to the worn armor where the resists on said armor handle the rest to their %.
