Armorsmith Archive

Well, that is certainly strange. One sad thing about the CU is that many armorsmiths no longer fight or wear armor, and if we do wear armor, we can only wear certain types like everyone else. It really limits our ability to get firsthand knowledge of our product. Haven't heard of this bug though. With a PSG equipped, you should probably be getting 60 to 80 percent damage reduction against energy (look out for people throwing rocks, though).

Not so much of a damage bug. I wear bracers, the chestplate and broken(-1923/36k) leggings and every time i get hit my armor blocks some damage. If i throw on some ranged arms they take absolutely no damage, as condition loss, and my chestplate takes every single hit. Good work devs.

The devs have broken armor so badly its sad.

Hmm, well thanks for the comments guys. Maybe I just need to re-equip it to work.

I recently got a suit of energy protection layered wookiee recon armor, stats were as follows:

Energy : 8099

Kinetic :3909

Elemental: 6000

I tested this armor against an energy rifle and against a jedi saber. For some reason the armor was only absorbing 100 points of the 1200+ damage being dealt to me while equiped. Actually the armor might not have been working at all because I had a PSG equipped as well.

I then tested my assault armor which only has 5000 Energy protection and it did far better absorbing 500 points of the damage.

On the recon armor I have an AA attached so I don't know if this contributes to the bug but it seems like the armor isn't functioning at all at times. Has anyone else experienced this before? Thanks for your input.

Yes I have had this happen to me as well, I suspected that I was hit with armor break but I'm not entirely sure. I was also wearing a shield gen at the time that had 1920 energy resist. Interesting thing about that, I was hit for approximately 1000 damage and my armor absorbed about 185 of that. 1920 resist comes out to be a little under 20% damage reduction which seems to fall in line with 185 out of 1000. The wookiee recon armor I was wearing had 7266 energy resist and was layered.

I found another armor hole/bugwhile investigating my damage resistance with cybernetic arms. Apparantly Cybernetic arms no longer have any damage resistance, I know they used to even if it was only on test center or at least they listed resistance when examined. If you are hit in the arms while wearing cybernetic arms, zero damage will be absorbed and you will take full damage. I also noted that the arms take zero condition loss after being installed, hit repeatedly, then uninstalled.
