Thread: Armor Stats
i just read a great post on weapon stats...
could someone do the same for armor?
what am i looking at when i see "kinetic 5%"
or health - 80.
action - 25 etc. ...
Ok I'm trying to buy armor (thanks blum for all thr trouble) but I'm confesed on the whole state thing.
Firtst:
Whats the difference from speical protection and effectiveness?
Second:
I was talking some people and a guy said that padded is better aginst blaster than ubese, but the blast stats on the ubese is much better (i think it was 15% on ubese and 5% on the padded). Is stats all that matter or is there something behind what type of armor you buy.
Third:
If I'm going to be facing alot of enemies with blasters (like rebels) what combo of armor should I get for maxuim protection in first blaster and second melee?
Thanks guys, I really need this help, I'm lost on how armor stats work (wish it was more simple like the weapons).
Armor, from what I can tell, has two main 'Statistics'.
Resistances reduce damage for that particular damage type. Kinetic for melee/projectiles, Energy for most Blaster types, Heat/Cold/Electricty/Acid etc for other types.
Armor also reduces your HAM secondary stats by varying degrees. You'll regenerate slower if your wearing armor, as it is tiring. A helm affects your Mind stats mostly, while leggings affect Action mostly, though they all have some impact on each pool.
Remember - just because it's more advanced armor, doesn't mean it's better. Good Chitin is better than bad Ubese. ![]()
I was wondering what would be the best stats for me, if I have medic skills and want to wear 60% composite armor...right now I'm a human
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
