We spend millions on attachments...


I hear lots of ideas out there...but what would AS recommend as the best piece to put these attachments on?

Bandoleers aren't attackable are they? Is that an advantage --

can't wear a bag with a bandolier. I suggest a padded belt.

I thought about a belt...but bags aren't a requirement really...I'm looking for longevity in my attachment. So if a bandolier takes no damage... then yay

But padded belts have encumbrance... and decay... ubese shirt = no encumbrance, mabari belt = no encumbrance

The above suggestions for using an Ubese Bandolier or Undershirt are good, however, if you're like me andlike using a BE shirt and bandolier, then I'd say your best other option besides the Padded Armor Belt would be gloves. (This is assuming that you have the same resists on all your armor pieces.) On the various suits of composite that I've gone through, the gloves seem to take damage at the lowest rate. In PvE the chest is the piece that wears out the fastest, but I wouldn't be surprised if its the helmet that gets worn down the quickest in PvP. If after slicing your armor pieces don't all have the same resists, you may want to consider putting your most valuable armor attachments into whatever piece has the highest resist. A piece of armor with 90% resists is going to have its condition last twice as long as a piece with only 80% resists.

If you don't wear BE clothing...go with ubese shirts first. No encumberance, variety of colors, up to 4 sockets, no damage taken. Next, go with Mabari Belt if you don't wear a PSG. They have no encumberance, variety of colors, up to 3 or 4 sockets?, no damage taken...another solid bet. Padded belts have a different look, but also have HAM costs, so they aren't as good an option unless you really like the look.


3. If you don't wear a pack (but most do) go with ubese bandolier, again no encumberance, andup to 4 sockets? (make sure to ask and pay specifically for one with 4 sockets....it may take quite a while for the armorsmith to make one of these.


Lastly, go with either gloves, or bracers if you must choose armor. Also, currently, the attachment will still work if the armor is down to 0 condition, but the armor will not block any damage. If it is a great attachment, it might be worth keeping in this way even if it doesn't provide protection.

4 sockets will not help if you can only use 1 ... or do multiple attachments actually stack now ?
