Light sabre effetive Personal Shield Generators, do they exist? Do they work? How effective are they?

This is a bug that was introduced when they added lightsaber damage to armors (publish 9?). I had made some PSGs before the patch and when I pulled them out of the crates they had lightsaber resists in the base.

Since this is a bug, it seems that the lightsaber resists go away when someone crosses a server boundary or hops on a shuttle. Once that happens, the lightsaber resist apparently turns into a vulnerability.

As for the effectiveness, the lightsaber resist is in the base effectiveness of the PSG (before it shifts out as I mentioned above). On the Imperial PSGs, you can probably expect resists from 30-50% or more depending on quality and where the smith spent their points. I am not sure that they are actually effective against lightsaber damage type, but I have heard that they are, at least until they shift.

Hope this answers your questions.

Thanks for your time and help Ceta, seems like I shouldn't bother buying a ls-PSG for anything else then a little testing then.
