Thread: Best armor for my template?
I'm not a vet, so don't take my word as the gospel, but I would think that you'd want assault armour. If you're a CM, and you plan on healing others, you're gonna draw lots of aggro. So assault armour, which is built for tanking, would be a good choice.
As for which assault armour looks good, I like chitin and composite, personally.
Hope this helps...
Good Hunting

Recon armor for hunting Jedi and Assault for hunting creatures... Battle armor would have too much encumbrance for you to use effectively.
Cybernetic arms are somewhat effective, against mobs yes, against Jedi yes and no (nice when they try to run but not nice if ur far away and they burst run out before you notice).
Looks are a personal matter, personally i love mabari armor and padded armor, so I cant add anything there.... you have a lot of choices now... use them.
noob question, since i started playing a week ago however i feel its justafied.... what is Pup??
Could someone please desrcibe this "pup" enhancement to me, and also make me aware of any othres that i should get for guns, armor, etc. remember i know just about nothing so dont feel inclinded to baby me.
Thanks
a PuP is a term for a Power-up. There are numerous types of weapon powerups. Ones that increase damage but slightly lower your attack speed, lower the action cost on your weapon, etc etc. They aren't too expensive and worth picking up.
And in response to your original question, if you plan on hunting Jedi -- you'll want Recon armor. Recon armor grants a higher protection against Energy ( Lightsabers do energy damage ) but does a sligthly lower protection against Kinetic damage.
On my BH toon I have numerous sets of armor though. But mostly for hunting Jedi I use a nice suit of Rebel Recon armor, and sometimes my suit of RIS armor custom made to add more resistance to Energy. Don't count on the RIS for a while though if you dont have the credits, I'm not sure about the other servers but on Corbantis a very nice suit of RIS can cost quite a bit.
If you're wanting to use ranged arms then I'd suggest Tantel armor or Rebel Recon armor (if you're rebel) You can sacrific the biceps, gloves, and bracers for the cybernetic arms. Being a Pistoleer though, I'm not sure how much it will help. Who knows though, Pistoleer isn't the greatest range so that extra 15m between you and a Jedi can be a nice help.
Recon armor is the best armor for killing Jedi.
As far as looks goes....I've always been partial to Scouttrooper armor to begin with.
Ive already picked up a set of recon armor, however i think its just the neutral kind since it dosent have markings for either reb or imp. My current set is the kind leya wore when she enters jabas palace with the thermal detanator, the head pice at least. so there is a rebel set i can get as well? does it look better? any advantages or disadavantages to it? Is it player made or must be bought with faction? Sry for all the questions
Thanks again
