I hade madeseveral dozen 80 kin/80 elec/70 base comp pieces. However, recently with current resources, I have been getting an annoyingly close 80/79/70 
Not too rare I would think, especially for 11 or 12 pt smiths.

10-point armorsmith here making 80% kinetic/80% electricity/70% base resist composite. No problem with good resources, just kinda heavy (HAM around 1000/900/1000).

Ive been making it for several months on Ahazi, I should say its the 80% Kin/EN/EL, now that I showed alot of people how to make it everyone makes it, its the grind armor of choice.
I also make limited amounts of 80% Kin/EN/EL/BL 70% base armor for people who like to have that.
Ive noticed armor choices vary greatly from server to server. Whats popular on one server isn't even made on another so on and so forth
Alot of smiths go for the 80% Kin 80% EL 68% base for the lower ham even though they could get the 70%

That extra 1% sometimes does make you more money.
I know on shadowfire, lots are hitting the 80/80/70 or 80/80/69.

I have been making 80kin/79elec/70base armor for the past month now and I cannot keep it stocked. I push out 45 suits at a time and they are all gone before I can make another 45 suits. I thought if i raised my prices they wouldn't sell out as fast and I could do other things in the game but I was wrong and people still bought for 50k a piece. I am personelly in favor of NOT putting kin in the SP area but that is what people seem to like on sunrunner so that is what I stock. I don't see why people like to hurt them selves and limited the kin to only 80% but that is what they want so that is what I sell.
I have tried and tried to get 80/80/70 but have to no avail been able too. I am only a 10point AS so that is prolly the deal. as I would rather put my last few points into HAM cost then special anyways.

Screw most of you.
I have kicked and screamed for every 1% extra on my base since I started some months ago only turning out meager 48% base resists (non layered comp).
I am now so close to doing 80/80/70 without those (what everyone seems to make out as easy but isn't) extra 1 - 2 points of experiment.
I'd just like to formally say this stuff is somewhat rare. The guys that come here and post about how easy it is,are in the rare themselves. The fact of the matter it takes a good number of months to collect the resources good enoughto do this, or it takestens of millionsin resource purchases.
An armorsmith now since janurary the best I've been able to do on skill enhancers is a whopping +5 on armor experimentation.And +10 on assembly.

Its all about the resources like you already know. For people that have been smiths since the start, and there are a few on my server, it really is nothing to make that type of armor. However, for people like yourself who are gettng late to the game if the resource spawns dont go your way it realy can be a battle.
Personaly i am a very new smith (my jedi is a smith after patch 9) but because i was a weaponsmith for the first 4 months of the game and a general resource hound after that i was able to make armor competitive with the very best on the server from the outset and currently produce 80en/el/kin/69base cause i dont want to use my best stuff on that, 80kin/ele/en/acid/71base on the way, 80kin/62base ultralightHAM, 80%blast/70base, 40Stun67Base, and 26Stun 70base for what i try to keep in stock
