Came out to 7200 something kinetic, 5100 something energy. Is that good?

I made them into Chitin armor because I can get higher condition on that then comp.

Is it really worth Nerfing the Elemental stats to beef up your Kinetic/Energy. Alot of high end guns do elemental damage anyway and creatures that hit you don't do significant damage anyway. I ditched teh whole Layers concept shortly after the new-cu just because of this. Yeah you may get a buyers attention with one or 2 stats but when 4 of your stats become nerfed as a result it seems that you loose much more than you gain? Concentrating on all your stats seems much more worthwile in the longrun.

Yeah 7k is gonna do ok, but when they get hit by Heat and Cold and are only protected in the 4-5k range it may as well not even be an advanced core anymore..

my 2 cents

5500 is more than enough to protect against at the most 215 element dmg from jedi, most weapons it's much less

My opinion anyway, I would be interested ifyou proved otherwise

that's an interesting point.

From my point of view when you're figuring the added elemental damage you're looking at 1100 max damage (energy or kinetic). Min may be as low as 300-500, so you're average is going to lie somewhere between 650 and 750. When you're talking about regular weapons then the elemental damage is, while not insignifigant, not the most important thing to protect against, since imo you'd want the largest protection against the main damage being done against you. I believe the devs added in the elemental damage to balance even the best armor, so that some damage will be getting through, no matter what.

As for lightsabers, I think the elemental damage is slightly more important because it represents a larger percentage of the damage they do. Worth bringing down your protection from their main damage type? I don't know....that's really up to the bounty hunter.
