Well, there is nothing wrong with your layering method. It's simply that you cannot yield better results than that with energy resist on Assault armor. Assault armor is kinetic focus, so therefore it's kinetic resist level is gonna be at a higher cap. I tried to do the same thing you did, using 4 energy layers in an assault segment and using these in the cores. Same results, just short of 6k energy and kinetic. The same goes with the recon...use 4 kinetic layers, and I got 5900+ in both energy/kinetic. Since recon focuses on energy, and assault focuses on kinetic, you aren't gonna yield better results.

If you want something different, try doing all 3 types of armor using all primus layers....you can get some nice results this way. I did a set of all-primus assault comp and BH armor and got 7300 kinetic and 5300 energy, with like 5200 base.

Hope this helps...

thanks!

but still ive seen armor get kinetic and energy diffrent, but general protection stays at 6k.. how do i get that extra push for 6k GP?

You'll get 6000 special protection if you are using capped cores. Primus layers will of course lower special protection while boosting kinetic and energy.

And did you say you were using three energy layers per segment? Why not four?

let me rephrase,when i energy layers with capped cores, i still get the general protection below 6k. ive seen armor energy layerd that still has 6k. maybe if the possibilities are listed ill find one and try to correct it.

first, here a nice reference post for stat caps if you haven't seen it:

Second, energy layers should have no affect at all on special protection. For example, my energy layered recon using capped cores tops 8000 energy with 6000 special protection. If your cores are capped, only primus layers will lower the special protection. Energy layers should have no effect.

Bah, Pyke beat me to it... again... LOL

Thanks alot guys. answered all my questions and very helpful!

While I'm no Math wiz, my reading of Kreen's Cap post will indicate this is impossible. Typo Rondese?

If you're reading that 8033 to be energy, then yeah, it's impossible. I think we just ignored that part.

thanks guys *blush*

that will be all *blush*
