I picked up some assault stormtrooper armor and after spending around 7000 or so faction points and slicing it for a 8% increase on protection, now I've got the armor hinderance icons under my name when I wear it. I currently have Master BH / Master Smuggler so I shouldn't have a prob with assault armor hinderance, should I? I have no probs with my composite armor and that's considered assault as well so why do I have problems with my factional assault armor?
Please help me to understand this and is this intended or not.
Thanks

If you have a total hindrance reduction of, say, 40%, and the armor you're wearing has 50% hindrance, then yes, you'll have a 10% hindrance. Hindrance reduction doesn't stack for the same armor type with multiple profession masteries, either. In other words, if you're getting say, a 40% reduction in assault armor hindrance from one profession, you won't get another 40% reduction from another profession.
Sorry if this is confusing, it's late, and i'm tired... too tired to actually look up the hindrance reductions you get from masteries right now.

Yes high quality layered armor is hitting the medication cap and should NOT be sliced, you got the highest protection vs lowest medigation your going to get, sliceing will protect you by about 1-2% more BUT you have to sacrifice something in this newly "BALANCED" system
Nothing is all gain anymore, look at power ups Most increase damage but make the weapon slower
