Hi,

I've got a few questions relating to armor that perhaps you could help me with. I'm sure these questions have been asked before, but I believe only in knowledge gained through experience, so I would trust your answers more than armorsmiths who often don't wear the armor themselves out to battle

1) How does condition affect a piece of armor's ability to absorb damage. Will a 58k condition 7k energy resist piece of armor absorb the same damage as a 78k condition 7k energy resist piece? If not, does it work on a sliding scale , or on a ladder system (ie: 50% condition = half absorbing power).

2) Does wearing a full suit of same type armor provide a bonus over wearing a hodgepodge of different types (ie: would wearing a full suit of scout trooper armor be more effective than wearing a mix of ubese/tantel etc etc considering both suits would have same resists).

3) How does armor break work when one of your pieces of armor is not "fully operational" ? (ie: If all but one of your pieces is not armor break sliced, does that negate the entire armor break bonus for all your other pieces? Also, if one of your pieces of armor is 0 condition , does that negate the whole suit's armor break bonus?).


4) As a relatively new player, what would be the best thing to do in order to obtain a higher min damage weapon (Im currently using a trandoshan rifle , and do not have huge financial resources.) Farming for tissues? other options?


Thank you for your time!

All for the Empire,

No because Jedi will becoming very strong when the FRS comes out, this is another reason why, proffesions are becoming stronger, to balance things

---

I'm eager to see what happens when FRS comes around. But reason I posted is cause I think you are right bout profs.... sad but true "balance" is make stuff stronger. PvE is already a joke. Everyone wants an uber weap or do to uber dmg. They get their wish, one group is left out. They cry. They get power-uped, now they cant be beat. Cycle continues .

about the food/drink fued...

I personally like to have lots of food room to eat parawan cake to chase down jedi so Igowith the mandalorian wine...

candy/treat/tea are better for npcs....

Ok mr oracle, I have one. When I send my droid to get my (human jedi) target's name it returns with message that name has been updated, blah blah. Unfortunatelly I can't find this name. It is not provided by the droid message, it is not in mission description in datapad.

Ok here's one. The Damage mods for Carbineer attacks such as leg shot and Charge shot are more than BH equivilents such as Adv Critical(equal to Leg Shot) and Underhand Shot(Charge shot is a higher damage modifier). I have battle armor with 6k energy resist and has nice carbine mods such as CArbine Acc +15, Carbine speed +12, Carbine Defense +5, General Ranged Acc +10, General Ranged speed +5, it has yet to be AB sliced however. My carbine is an elite carbine that is double capped.

Right now I'm MP/MBH/4000CM, with a sac capped near damage capped scatter. It's about 945 damage(estimating since I can't see it atm) with Speed slice of 12%. My armor is 75% AB sliced and 8k energy resist Ubese, no mods.


I've been thinking of going back to Carbines but I'm not sure if I want to since my armor is real nice with Pistols. However, the mods for my carbineer suit is pretty good and the damage mods are higher than pistols. Should I go back to Carbines you think, or stay pistoleer?


I can make the decision on my own just figured I'd post anyway and show off a bit of my gear

Taking mando wine or breath of heaven leaves you little space to use ruby bliel, against the better high dmging npc/jedi it is always better to use stims instead of you mind, you need space for ruby, where as the combination you suggested means there is little room left for 2-3 uses of ruby. And now that healing takes slight action, if you are on low action and need to heal, you havent got any room for ruby to round your stim time and you have to wait until the round time appears again . meaning you cannot heal faster than you are being hit, so you spend the majority of yout time healing and not attacking

healing dosent take action they removed that befoe pub 24 went live, thats a strange tatic and i dont think many peopel would agree withit or have to use it.
