Thread: To whomever said armor is useless with CL grouping in the game:

That is all.
The simple reduction of damage taken is enough to say that armor could make the difference. One less heal you have to do could mean one more attack you could make. In extreme differences of levels perhaps it becomes less of an issue, but I would never go so far as to completely discount it's use as not being practical. Now, decay rate would be an issue I believe, but that's another thing altogether.

Nice to see you posting again zion. Armor does make a difference on mobs of 1 to 8 points higher than you. I think when they said armor didnt matter, they were referring to mobs of the same level. I could be wrong on that, but I believe thats what they meant.
It might have been during the time of "weeping and gnashing of teeth" on the AS forums pre and post CURB. People were making some pretty dumb blanket statements, and doing less than thorough tests and yet claiming to be experts.
And FYI - on the avatar, those CL 81 people hit hard; you need armor even when they are 1 level above you up there.
The arguments made during the "CU-revolt" still applies.Of coursearmor is notuseless, but it is much less important than level. And inmany of the PvE situations, the outcome of the fight is not depedant on whether you wear armor or not. This was very nicely explained in a post above so I am not going to elaborate more on it. And armor is an absolutenecessity in PvP, which is well known.
Most people don't know the realities about PvE, or don't care, so armor sales are still good. But with the high decay rate, people may start looking at alternatives and try out fighting without armor. When you take missions you are better off saving it.

Ok, lets see. If the argument was "Armor doesn't matter any more", which is was during the "CU-Revolt" (not saying by all AS's, just some), then NO, the argument does NOT apply.
The argument that armor is now uselss is a fundamentally different argument than saying armor is less useful.
Saying armor is less useful also implies there is STILL a use for it. Saying it is useless, is well, saying there is no need for Armorsmiths anymore, which is NOT the case.
So I disagree that the Pre Curb argument still applies.
Quite frankly Zion, I could give a rats ass less if armor worked anymore or not, all I care is that people still buy it like hamsters to a feedbar.
just my 2 cents
