Thread: RIS before or after revamp?

Ok, I have enough GDK scales for two pieces of RIS, and I'm always looking out for more. Got all the other stuff needed to make intervowen with 10% NS layers, 4% cubes, etc etc.. Just wondering when to do it, now or after the revamp?
We know armor will be nerfed, and that current stuff will go down with it.. Seems nobody knows how bad this will be, but it also seems that RIS is supposed to be really good after this balancing.

Perhaps wait till the new system hits TC and see how it turns out?


Just hoping for the input of somebody that's better up-to-date with this than me.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with night-hawk with his views on making RIS


RIS will never be a good pvp armor. Sure you can get the base to 80-90% but with two vulnerabilities it is just too much to over come. No one knows how RIS will be after revamp though (nothing official)


He made some 80% kinetic RIS that has HAm of 0/0/0 unsliced, he posted a week or so ago about this. It is nice to have a suit with 60k condition that has no HAM. FOr people that spend 3-6 mill on gdk scales it is hard to justify this though, uber ubese armor.

I was going to ask the same thing, but i've come to the decision that i'm going to wait after revamp to craft RIS. Maybe they'll fix the acid vulnerabilites and other issues. who knows.

Who knows though, maybe after the revamp Composite will end up having more vulns.
