Well i was thinking of makeing my alt a armorsmith but im just sick and tired of only ever seeing people wear composite armor and the occassional Ubese and i wish other armor was viable soooo heres my idea and this would just be rough estimate on certain stats and its just a fun post


Ok id first like to start off with Bone Armor:


Easiest Armor in the game to make it should average around 25% resists and with an ackly bone armor schematic to ehance it you could probably get close to 40% resisst


im not to sure what to do with marb armor or tantel or chinton but i would like to see them like ubese armor meaning armor that specializes in 1 or 2 stats makeing them very high and the rest of the stats low.


Example of this would be the Marb armor 75% resist to Energy and stun the rest of the stats low


Chinton could have High resists to Fire and kenitic (more creatures should use fire type damage like dragons and such)


Padded armor already specializes in Energy and should also get some moderate resists to kentitic and heat and Blast


Ubese i love this its really the only balanced armor in the game


Now is Compsite Armor:


My idea is NErf the hell out of comp cap the thing at 65% resists across the board (even stun) maybe 70% with the posibility of 75% if you have krayt scales very good resources and other types of loot to ehance it.

Comp will now be the best overall grinding armor nuetrals will still get use out of it and it will stop well not stop just cut down soloing of Krayts nightssiter elders etc.

NOW we get to FACTION ARMOR!!!! (music plays) this baby caps at 80% armor its just about as good as current comp armor it has lower encumbrence (still no 90% here) but we trade some uberness with this armor for it being armor you have to be OVERT to wear (get rid of clone bug with armor on). Vuln to lightsaber but good for everthing else and encouraged to wear as the over all armor. (this also encourages the GCW and starwarsyness)

oky doky now comes Quest armor starting with:

Bounty Hunter armor:
Cert this baby to MASTER bounty Hunter, its lootable from Black sun on yavin (its not easy to get a full set but not years of searching either) This armor looted can be brought to Armorsmith so they can remake it (also change the color) now in remakeing it i guess each piece would work as a 1 time schematic fro that piece that it would retain any special modfication that might be on the Armor when you looted it.

Example of this is some of them might have a +10 ranged speed or something like this.

WHat makes this armor so special would be it has LOW encumbrence (super low) the resists on it should only be in the 50% possibioly 60% in no way should it compete with heavy armor like composite or faction armor however what makes this baby so special is say 25% resist to you guessed it Lightsaber.

its only mild protection against the wild its good enough you wont get trashed by an NPC but youd be better of only useing this while hunting Jedi.

RIS:
low encumbrence high resists and stats at 90% and should be the god armor comp is now maybe even 15% resist t9o lightsaber but hey its 50 million credit armor it should be dam good.

Mando armor:
80% resist and 40% lightsaber resists moderat encumbrence

id like to state this is just how i think things should be it would help encourage the sells of lower type armor because they would be cheap and easy to make thus good for grinding on certain things.


While it nerfs composite armor it does in no way make it useless and with 65% or 70% resists on most overall stats i dont think anybody will say theres no possible way they could ever grind with it.


people might want the earlier type armor depending on what there fighting vs just all comp i mean why buy composite armor if you can get padded armor cheaper if all your doing is killing NPC's and grinding faction points. you get the resists you need for whatever at half the price.


The faction armor being the new composite well not as good as 90% resists comp i think 80% resist is well enough people will want to wear it more and really is anybody gonna complain there are overt Stormtroopers everywhere? this game needs a SERIOUS boost in its starwarsyness and the GCW and this would help out alote. id rather see a bunch of storm troopers or Rebels zipping around the place than composite cyborg clones.


I also think makeing BH armor the way i said would make it the armor to wear for the Jedi killing BH and if your a jedi and a BH has this on you should know this guy isnt gonna be easy and you should fear him


and the rest as RIS and mando i think is self explanitory
