I'm only a 10 pt. I wanan do kinetic special. What should I look to expiriment on to get good base/kin? like percent wise 5% base 10ish% kin ect. Any help would be appreciated.

I would go 14/2 kin/base if you are concerned with doing kinetic armor.

I have a 11% on each layer for kin but I had a crap base of like 53% (today I get better resources) and I did 80% kin on the armor which is good but crap base.

With my resources here is the max experimentation potential :
durability: 74%
quality: 91%
resist: 91%
I max out base (quality), then put the rest in durability... no points in resis. this gives me 4% base, 4% kinetic layer with 10/10/11 HAM.
For the segs I max out base again, put 1 pt in resist, and the rest in durability. this gives me a 34% base, 11% elec, 14% kinetic segment with 45/45/45 HAM.
For the final combine, again, I max out base and put the rest where ever (durability to lower HAM, Resist seems to actually increase condition when making the actual armor item). Final armor is 80% elec, 80% kinetic, 69% base
If you haven't read the corresponent's guide, do that.. and read other peoples' guides too just see how you can change things. And if you don't do anything, go download the AS little helper and figure out how to use it. It will be MORE THAN WORTH THE TIME!!
good luck

Thank you ever so much 
basically I think it comes down to my resources we'll find out today how it goes and I'll post the final outcome!

Is it just me or is there a weird little trick with the comp armor final combine? I put everything into base or special resist but make sure to put my last experiment point into durability and it gives you a nice little bump on the special resists. It seems to work. Anyone else see this?

It's just a bug. No matter where you put that last point, your armor will go where it's supposed to be. For me, it always just happens to be durabilty.

Are you sure about that? I was playing with my low HAM kinetic armour, trying to spend as little on base as I could while still reaching 80% kinetic, and after getting base to 60% I put all but one point into durability, and the kinetic resist hit 79%. Putting the final point into base raised the base to 62% but the kinetic remained at 79%.
So, I think that the durability has to be the last thing you experiment on, if you want your kinetic bonuses applied to your final base resist.

New news! I put some layers in my factory and I wanted to test to see how they would potentially come out.... and I got a 80%kinetic and 60% base! yay!

Making comp? Go as much as possible on Base then goto Kinetic. I'm a 12ver and I make 4%/7% Base/Kinetic
But on my Quadruple-80 Armor I Make 3%/14% Base/Kinetic
