I hate to ask because you guys must get it all the time, but when should I repair my armor? The sticky doesent even mention it.

I remeber TH saying 25% or your chances are numbered of a success

Armor starts to lose its resists when it reaches 50% condition, unlike weapons, which start to degrade when condition hits 25%. Therefore it is most advantageous to repair your armor right around the 50% point.
If you can get a Master Armorsmith to repair it, I would highly suggest doing so. As a Master Armorsmith with +25 Armor Repair mods and 99.5 rated tools, I get almost all "good" repairs with the occasional moderate or excellent repair. I honestly cannot remember the last time I totally failed on a repair, and I've repaired dozens upon dozens of pieces, many several times, in the interim. In fact, I'm more likely to dispose of a compositearmor piece because I no longer think it's worth repairing and re-using at 6K condition than I am because I failed a repair.

i recommend 25 to 50%. seems to balance the average loss off the top of the max con and the odds of blowing the thing all to hell

Somewhere between 25-50% (composite usually around 15k mark is when i do it). and just knock on wood that it works

I've been collecting Armor Repair SEAs and modded clothing since the game went live.

Cool, I just thought it was worth noting because thee has been no catagorical evidence (or even word from Devs - that I know of) that states that Armorsmiths have a better chance at repairing armor than anyone else. (Unless of course you have Armor Repair Mods - which anyone could also use.
