Everyone wants that magic slice that will give them 90% base on their armor, yet there seems to be a conspicuous lack of hard data as to the probability of achieving that. So I took the time to run the numbers and here's what I've come up with:

67% 35% 0% / -

68% 33% <1% / 1 in 100

69% 31% 2.5% / 1 in 40

70% 29% 7% / 1 in 14

71% 27% 12% / 1 in 8

72% 25% 18% / 1 in 6

73% 24% 22% / 1 in 5

As you can see, the probability is far from a linear increase, the biggest gain being had between 69-71%. This is due to the fact that slicingitself produces non-linear results. These numbers are based on my experience slicing my own armor and the stats posted here (thanks to WayneInAustin), so there is a margin of error, but the numbers are still useful as a ballpark figure. You'll note that while a 35% effectiveness slice is (according to the devs) possible, it is *exceedingly* rare, so much so that neither the linkeddata (out of 1900+ slices) nor myself (out of countless thousands of slices) has ever had a 35% eff slice.

Any questions or corrections are welcome.

I've personally gotten 6 35% slices. 2 of them on uber items...one my Stun chestplate to get it to 90% and the other on a Acklay Stun Baton.

If you take a look at the linked data, it would appear that high damage and speed slices on weapons occur more frequently than high effectiveness slices on armor.

I think 42 % is possible only for enc slice ( or double - slice?)

<

I thought armor slicing max was 45% not 35% like weapons.

I've seen 35% effective slice on armor and 45% encumbrance slice on armor. Been slicing my own armor for about 18 months now.

I had a smuggler slicing for me the other day get 35% on eff and 35% on enc on the 2nd piece.

Nice chart.
