so I am looking at various armour in shops and I am trying to figure out how to tell whether its primus or kinetc/energy combo or all kinetic or what, and I am also trying to figure out if it has any layers at all.


What are the stat differences gonna be between layered and non layered, and hnow can i tell the diff between layers.


EX.


armour with 5xxx kinetic/7xxx energy/ 5xxxx special


now i thought primus dropped the other protections in favor of boosting kinetic/energy... does this mean taht this particular armour is not primus...


I hope this helps explain the problem im having


I woudl just make them all and test it myself but i dont have the resources to do taht kind of test yet, so any advice is greatly appreciated.


thanks

What your looking at is unlayered top quality recon armor


7k energy 5k kinetic 6k base is the best armor can be with out layers


quad layered recon with primus will be around
7500 energy
5500 kinetic
5500 base
This is just an exsample, some may vary


Quad layered Recon with energy layeres will be about
8100 energy
4000 kinetic
6000 base


Hope this gives you ideas.

quad layered energy/kinetic will boost about 1100 of that stat
quad layered Primus will boost about 5-600 kinetic/energy -5-600 base

it does thanks


so primus doesnt actually lower the other resists, just boosts kin/energy


the armour was actually like 5173 or something like htat for kinetic, is it still unlayered?


so primus only gives a marginally better boost to kin and energy huh


k and, if kinetic or energy layers are supposed to boost them respectively, how come the special prot is lower with them than with unlayered. what am i missing? u'd think it would be at least equal

primus loweres all elemental.

layers arent bonus, its just a means of shifting stats around

also be aware that layers triple the resource reqs for the armor suit, so be prepared to pay more for it.

thanks for the help


sounds like the diff between quad primus and say dual primus is marginal


what do most armoursmiths these days go for?

I usually do mostly unlayerd unless someone requests otherwise.
