So stop whining, and go pick up rifleman or pistoleer if you want high energy resist armor.
Listen to what you just said. And then think about how off the wall that is.
You are a BH. You take on NPC's. What do MOST of those NPC's wield? ENERGY blasters, and LS's (also Energy).
Now I ask you. Why? are you certified to wear KINETIC armor which does NOT resist against energy? Does that make ANY sense to you. (ok, so maybe I am overemphasizing here)
BH's should be battle armor certified, not assault. In fact, Commando, SL, and BH should be battle certed, while ranger, CH, and the brawlers should be assault. I think someone really screwed this up.
Dude, it's because MBH should be able to wear Mandalorian armor. Mandalorian armor is assault. Thus, MBH=Assault.
And what do you mean by the phrase in bold? Assault protects against Energy. Just not as much in comparison to Recon, but it does protect.
Listen 2 me....
I lost 2 (TWO) fights to jedi. They were my second and third. You know why? I'll give you 3 guess'es and the first 2 dont count.
A jedi will rip through you like a hot knife through butter. You could wear the best Assault Armor on the market, and you'll get diced like an onion.

Give up BH if they are killing you this easy. Either that or go PVP some more to learn your skills.

oh, brother... why do I even bother. First off, I am not being killed. It has nothing to do with me. I didnt even start the dam thread. You need to tutor in reading comprehension, me thinks.
To the CH/Ranger.... think about it. How often will you run into a situation where 7000 energy resist is gonna help you. As a CH/Ranger, you will deal more with Creatures, and they deal kinetic damage mostly.
Common folks, see the bigger picture. Either the Armor types are borked, or the certifications are borked. It is one of the 2.

Apparently you are getting killed, you just have a bad short term memory. And I do see the big picture of things, I just see this "problem," as it seems to be for you and SWGuy, insignificant. The CU has been out for what, over two months and this is just coming up now? Maybe you should have said something during beta.
EDIT: Oh and BTW if you looked at that armorsmith thread, you'd see that there is about a 10% resist difference between unlayered capped recon and unlayered capped assault, so unless you're armor sucks or was broken, you didn't die because your armor was assault.

Maybe if they hadn't adopted the terms recon/battle/assault there wouldn't be so much drama here...
They shoulda just called 'em energy/battle/kinetic.

Then they couldn've put them where they made the most sense. Creature hunters need more kinetic protection than energy... PvP'rs and Combatants need more energy protection. Certing energy armor to Riflemen and battle armor to Carbineers for instance makes perfect sense to me... certing kinetic armor to BH makes... less sense.
They did it this way because they are trying to steer you in the direction of what they want your other profession to be based on what armor you have to have for your first and main profession.....
There are always alterior motives.....
