Not sure what you are asking, but 1 arm gives you a +10 range and the other a +5 range. I wore the +10 for awhile, but it seemed to really hurt not wearing any arm armor.

You don't really need it, but i guess it's kinda nice.

The minus mods don't hurt alot with food, but yeah no arm armor so can take more damage.

Ok...I think you answered my question...I was taking a lot of damage and didn't seem to be getting much of a bonus from the +5 arm.

I have both ranged arms. As a Master Rifle, this gives me an 80 meter range. With the right tactics, you never have to worry about not having arm armor, though when I do get hit I notice it doesn't really hurt me all that often, as I take most hits down the center in the head, legs and torso.

Kiting from 80 meters is nice, especially with the rifleman snare. I sacrificed healing for pistols 0/0/0/3, giving me a good stopping shot to use should my mark close in close enough to start hitting me. Using knockdown as an emergency measure, these tactics allow me to take creatures like Peko Peko Albatrosses and other yellow and red con boss MOB's without difficulty.

The only problem I run into is teleporting. The other day I was taking out the CL114 MOBs outside the Dantooine Mining Outpost and I had rooted one of them in the water only to have him teleport next to me and lose the root....needless to say, without any healing skill I was toasted in two hits.

I wouldn't use the ranged arms with anything other than a rifle, however, as any Mark with a rifle will be able to hit you.
