so i'm guessing the 12 mill that i'm about to pay for a +350 to health with 8100 energy is well worth the money?
depends on if you like energy protection

energy = lightsabers, red graphic'd ranged weapons
kinetic = blue/gray colored ranged, melee
Do your homework on the things you fight most. If your in for PVP id go for energy. Most ranged weapons are energy based but if you run into someone with a kenetic rifle, you might find yourself in some pain. But, if your a BH then youll find yourself well defended against your jedi marks.
I think you are better off with an evenly protected set of battle armor, and a PSG for the extra energy protection. It's really only a small percentage of better protection.

Doesn't armor with health bonuses already in it work? Its just that currently you can't craft armor with health bonuses?
Has any one tried crafting health buffed armor post PUB 19?
BTW all previously made Health buffed armor works...sold two sets after bug appeared and the enhancemnts worked for the clients.
yes, the armor would be for jedi hunting only, i have some other very nice armor for pvp purposes. just wanted to make sure the price wouldn't drop dramatically once the health bonus bug is gone.

Disagree a little here, if you are fighting jedi then I agree energy is your best choice. Powers are kinetic, but the most popular power, force choke, bypasses armor post pub 19. I wonder whether the others do now as well?
For mixed pvp, I would say primus layered stuff is better. A energy layered suit of recon will have energy at 56% (8100) and kinetic down at 35% (3800). A suit of the same armor primus layered will have energy at 53% (7500) and kinetic around 44% (5500). 3% drop in energy for 9% rise in kinetic. There are quite a few kinetic level 54 weapons out there, high cap scatter, fwg5, several loot rifles, dart carbine (lvl 50), and several melee weapons. Of course, mixed pvp is not really that relevant nowadays, always plenty of jedi present there as well ![]()
