Hello... I'm an old Armorsmith looking to get back into the business... I'm wondering if any of you guys that have stayed around can tell me what Percentages on Layers/Segements/Cores I'm going to need to hit 8k Energy Recon. I figured I'd start here... Thanks in advance!

Remember that a skilledjedi hunter generally use a PSG-Mk3 that already bring a 2400+ bonus vs. energy,
so a 7600 recon armor is enough to reach max absorbtion vs. energy (60%).
BTW 7600 vs. energy is the theorical maximum for a quad-primus recon armor so kinetic protection is not sacrified.
Yesterday I put 2415 shields on sale so 7585 vs energy is enough (on my server) ... here is perhaps you quest

Actually PSG's don't work on any melee weapon. Only ranged energy weapons

It "works as intended" or can we expect shields to protect against energy melee weapons on day?

Yea first off here I know PSGs dont work vs Lightsabers and also they only block 1 in 4 shots because of the recharge rates. Anyhow... I'm looking to make the 8k marker for my Energy resists on my Recon because it works great against Jedi, especially with 75% Armor Break Resistance slice, and it is what sells the best on Bloodfin. I'm just looking for information on PERCENTAGES... like can I make 80% cores/layers/segements and come out with 8k. If no one knows that is fine I'll just find out later when I test it myself. Was just a question.

Oh and thanks for pointing me to the link everyone has already read on the top of the forum there... that was useless.

you are obviously too oobar to need the advise of any armorsmiths on these forums. The only hope i have is that, through your oobarness, when you reach 10k energy resists, you will let the rest of the AS's know your oobartastic secrets.

Sorry, Mr. Crankypants
. Try to get to 90 percent on your energy layers and use only capped cores. The final statements about PSGs are correct; they work only against ranged energy attacks. They do not, however, simply block one in four shots. They reduce the damage from all incoming ranged energy attacks until their "charge" has been depleted. They are at max strength against the first shot, and their protection dwindles as they take more damage until it hits zero.
