I was wondering what kind of stats are needed on loot items such as janta hides and NS layers to make advance comp segments that would produce an 80% base eff piece of comp armor. AS are currently able to make 70% base eff sets without using any loot items in the segments.
Thx,

Forgot the stats, didn't read carefully, but i'd assume any that add up to 10% base will do the trick, right?

What is the normal base eff. of crafted composite layers?

5% on layers is impossible. They are capped at 4% as far as I know.
Some janta hide, NS layers, or Rancor Hide would do the trick, as long as they have at least 7% or more. Not sure on that number, my notes are on my ingame notepad, and I can't check that right now.
Cheers.
I have some 5% base kinetic layers
Most can guess when they were made too.

Yeah, I was away for patch day, so I got screwed. I should have said, "4% Base is the max you can make on layers AS OF NOW."

You need a crate of about 5 -6 peices with 68% base or more. Just have them sliced and one is bound to end up in the 88-90% range.
If you are going for really low HAM costs, then you need to collect at lot of 4% NS layers or better, RIS layers, or crafted layers with NS shards.
The ideal layer is 4.33% RIS layers. They can be really low HAM and give a boost to the condition. Then I would go 4% NS layers or with a low stun/high base stun layer with reduced ham costs and NS shards.
Either way it won't be cheap. You need someone to make them then hope for a good slice. Just buying crated armor would be the best and easiest/cheapest route.

What?
Instead of going that way, why not just plug in some janta hide? You'll get the 80% base, and a chance to get it sliced to 90%, or if you get encumberance slices, your still fine because the extra 10% isnt really that big a loss.
Your way sounds alot more expensive and time consuming.

Nobody's mentioned MolClamps and PLKs? They can't be looted, I guess.

4.something %. I think 5 would be acheivable only if all the resources were 1000 OQ and SR.

So, if I used 4% janta hides and 3 sets of 5-6% NS layers it should get a base in the mid-high 70s with a low ham, right?
Thx,
