Out of all the options for slicing armor--since my best pieces are adk'ed, and with MLS hitting so damn hard with armor break on--i figure for jedi hunters this slice is the most important for us
so right off the bat i had my armor sliced to level 1 (25% armor break reduction) while i look for the loot components for higher level slices
To my understanding this means that now 1 in 4 applications of the armor break special wont stick. Alternatively, this might mean that the increase in damage by armor break is mitigated by 25%
Does anyone have any testing on what this slice is actually doing?

I just looked at the Hardening slices --basically a hardening slice will give you a crit chance that incoming attack damage will be reduced by 50%
level 1: 1%
level 2: 2%
level 3: 3%
seems like an incredible low chance that you will get a successful block --i think i would rather have 75% armor break mitigation (level 3 slice) than a 2% chance that half the damage will be blocked
level 1: 1%
level 2: 2%

basically what getting a 25% AB slice will do is lower the additional damage armor break would otherwise do on that piece of armor.
my bh suit is now all sliced to 75% AB reduction, 1% armor hardening, and 20% deflection.
you have to do it to every peice too as AB is a state effect and if the jedi/melee guy lands a hit on a piece of armor that hasnt been sliced for AB he will cut through it like a hot knife through butter!
