Anybody else see this kinda pointless?
From what i see, if you quad energy layerize assault armor... ;essentially, you justdegradeit down andmake battle armor. (notso great battle armor)

That's generally my feeling, too, but you'd be surprised how many BHs go ga-ga over 4EL BH Armor.

yea, i see the trend, and honestly i beleive quad energy layers is the worst thing you can do to assault. yet they sale, and people make their mando like this. it just baffles me.

Because BHs are doomed to wear Assualt Armour when their Jedi prey use Energy Weapons.
Blame the Devs
Assualt Armour built like poor Battle Armour, is still alot better than Good Battle Armour you can't wear, or have encumberance in.

Indeed, it's one of the dumbest things the way they split up armor names. Assault armor sounds like it should go to BH, but in reality it shouldn't. They mistakingly made the names refer to the heaviness and speed reductions of the armors rather then the actual usage of the armor.

I agree as well. I try to explain to customers they are much beter off trying to make the most out of
the "natural" resists of any type of armor. To think kinetic for assault, energy for recon, and primus for battle to get the most out of their type of armor. But the types of armor for each profession dont really match up with the professions needs. So often we are forced into making expensive mediocre armor. Trying to turn assault into recon etc etc. definitely a lack of foresight in this matter when the cu was rolled out. But then again, there wasnt much foresight into the armorsmith profeesion when they rolled out the CU.

it could be the fact that Assault armor has kinetic as major protection while BH need more energy protection.
BH dont get good mitigation for battlearmor, so they want to pay to get assault with better energy layers. Because they have good mitigation with assault armor.
that is the reason as far as i see.

Oddly enough, ive actually had a few bh come to me with only the assault certifications. Since this was all they can wear, they want it made for energy and hey, who am I to turned down the price im getting for my quad layered armors.

yea your right, i forgot that BH specialize in everything now at days and probably the only mastery most have is BH. So essentially they only got full mitigation available for assault.
