Thread: armor condition wear?
all of the new stuff wears faster than in precu due to the manner in which decay is calculated... its based on the amount of damage your armor fails to block.... so precu you had 80% kinetic that could last you amonth of casual play.... well now the new armor has like 55% resists MAX.... so do the math.... 2.25 greaterdecay on the very best post cu armor... and conversion stuff is even worse off with its basic 4-4.5k protection (thats like 35-40%) 4-5x higher on junk conversion..... I have a guildie I made a suit of 6500 kin/energy primus battle armor for... 4 nights of grinding and condition is down from 45k to 36k. 4 nights. and he was hunting as a ranged combat profession. (rifleman/ranger)... big nasty stuff like krayts/rancors are going to rip any suit your using to shreds.
hope this helps
