Thread: question on layering
Basically you are asking if 9 Primus + 3 Energy layers is better than 6 Primus + 6 Energy on your assault armor?
Lets assume your layers are as follows Primus = 45/-46 and Energy = 90/-91 (they might be plus or minus a few points but this should give a decent "idea" of final results). The 9p+3elayering would add/subtract +675 Energy, +132 Kinetic, and -414 Base. Whereas, the 6p+6e layering would add/subtract +810 Energy, -276 Kinetic, -276 Base.
Also assuming your unlayered Assault cores are capped, your final piecesof armor with above layering would be about; 7100 K, 5600 E , 5600 Base for the 9p+3e piece, and 6700 K, 5700 E, 5700 Base for the 6+6 piece.
There is alot of supporting data you failed to provide in your query that would make it much easier to give a definite estimate, but the above overview should suffice in showing how 9p+3e is better than 6p+6e (at least as it pertains to Assault armor)
Personally, I try to stick with 10+2 variations on almost all my mixed layer armorworks. For some reason I find it often results in "rounder" numbers that are more palatable to customers. In your circumstance I would recommend checking out the following 10 Primus + 2 Energy, 2 Primus + 10 Energy, 10 Tertius + 2 Energy, 2 Tertius + 10 Energy, or maybe 10 Primus + 2 Kinetic.
10's and 2's or all the same type, Assault armor is Kinetic Strong/Energy Weak and Layers always subtract more than they add (Adv. layers moreso than Basic layers). If you want more Energy based armor its best to consider a profession that Certifies for Battle or Recon.

i have read the faq
but dint find what i was looking for
would assault cores with 3x primus 1x energy not better than 4 primus,4 energy ,2 primus 2 energy amor
has anyone tested it yet?
I dont understand you question. Would either of these options be better in which way exactly? if you can explain what you mean by better I am sure we can answer your question

All very good, but until we know in what way the original poster defines better then its all moot. If better means more energy then a full energy layering is best. If better means best balanced then actually a 4 energy 8 primus stack is best as kinetic will suffer no loss and energy will get around 350-400 points of boost.
i thought of genral pve pvp so with well roundet stats i went now with 4 primus
final stats on the mando helmet are
kin 7508
energy 5508
base 5492
and as a noob as i am happy with that :-P
