Recon has the best 'energy' resists.. itISN'T the best armour. quite simply, as stated before, i'd much rather wear 6k resist battle armour and know my template inside out than wear 8trillion resist recon and not know my template.. the former would win every time, worn by anyone
My original post, was basically saying that, not, my armour is the best... It was meant to be constructive and to give heart to the newer Bounty hunters who think that recon is THE ONLY armour to have to hunt marks successfully.

So you are now making the hasty generalization that anyone who wears Recon armor doesn't know their template inside and out? I wear my Recon, have an excellent win/loss ratio and feel that I know my template inside and out.... What gives? BTW, I can wear recon, assualt, and battle.... I choose recon for Jedi hunting.
Lets agree on two things...
1. Ubese has the best ENERGY resist stats...
2. Knowing your template and how to use it in battle is utmost important...
Okay?
save the fight for the jedi scum

The difference between 6K energy and 8k energy resist is roughly 17%
that 17% can make a HUGE difference...
However it is true that you can win with other armor... as you say... but it is a bit harder and you will defiinitely have to heal alot more.
While I do not neccesarily agree with the originial poster, according the the AS forum guide the difference between 6K and 8K is about 8%.
IMHO, the one thing that actually decides which armour is "the best" has to do with armourbreak. If armourbreak reduces the point value, and not the % value, the difference between 6K and 8K, even with a proper AB slice, is going to feel a lot more. Not having even toyed briefly with the concept of post-CU melee, anyone know how the armourbreaks work?

Let's keep the misinformation to a minumum. The difference between 6K and 8K energy is 8%.
My battle armor is primus layered bringing the difference down to 6%. I'd love to have that extra 6%, but I can't think of a single jedi that i would have beat because of that extra percentage. They just run too fast.

hmmm I was going off of 8000=56% and 6000=48% 56/48= 116.6% or about 17% higher.... But that actually might not be the best way to look at this...

Think of it this way though, even with only slightly better armor resists you still heal less. Less heals = more damage output + less drain on mind.
When fights typically last more than 5 mins you need to prepare for a long fight. Every bit helps.

Sorry, I misunderstood. If calculated that way you are absolutely correct.
No worries... the question is is the advantage 8% or 17%?
As for armor break.... Improve Saber armor break does: Effect: Reduces the target's armor rating by 65%.
so I would assume... if I am at 8K rating for 56% defense I will be reduced to 5200 for a rating of roughly 43% while a 6000 suit would be reduced to 3900 or a rating of about 36%
shows how important armor break reduction is....

Where in my post do you see me making that generalisation???? read the OP and subsequent replies, why is there always someone like you, ready to flame away and start a pathetic conflict in a forum postwhen all i was saying that armour IS NOT the be all and end all in hunting jedi marks. THIS IS TRUE NO MATTER WHAT SPIN YOU TRY AND PUT ON IT.
If you really think that armour IS the be all and end all of hunting jedi, then good luck
