Armorsmith Archive

Hello there. I finally Mastered Armorsmith (the LONG way, no macros) and have managed to make my very first set of advanced composite gloves. I was quite proud to see that they turned out with 80% kinetic resistance, and 57 to everything else except stun -BUT- the things are so friggen heavy HAM-wise, it would be like wearing concrete blocks on your fists!

I used 3 kinetic layers in the armor segments - is that overkill?

Can anyone tell me a nice quick & dirty formula for getting 80% kinetic, while maintaining lower HAM?

My resources are pretty good - but I have no idea what the optimum base & special resists are on the segments.

Well, that's about all I can type with my weighted-down hands

Thanks folks!

Try Base to 2% (a 25% initial combine will start at 2 so no points needed here)

Special to 7%

Put the rest in the top line to lower the HAM costs.

3 Kinetic Layers - All the points on the Segment into the middle line to improve the base

Finally max out the Eff: when making the gloves and put the remainder into the top line to reduce HAM.

The result will be around Kin:80% Eff:60% and your HAM costs will be 150-200 points lower than if you have not concentrated on reducing HAM.

If this doesn't work then your materials are not as good as you thought they were
