yah dont bother adking gloves , boots and clothing, cause mods still stick at 0 condition

In my opinion, ADKing armor is a waste of money unless you are on a server where adks are cheap. On my server they run about 35-40 mill. I could easily replace my uber armor and all the cas held within for less than the price of one adk. This is sad , yes, but the truth is ADKs are way over priced due to supply and demand. Too many BHs are trying to adk their armor and need3 to 10 adks to do up the whole thing. I suggest you get adks for your weapons instead.Keep all the cas in your bracers and biceps. They dont decay as fast. Also I might suggest that you look for a set of pre-cu armor gloves and boots. The ones with sockets. They will not decay at all unless you die. The boots and gloves made today do not have sockets. Just my two cents.

If I had the creds to buy ADK´s, I´d use them on the most uber armor I couold lay my hands on....preferrably Ubese. I love ubese.

i just tell my AS i want a suit of 4 socket'd HIGHEST ENERGY LAIYER"D POSSIBLE...8100+...and i pay about 650k for a ful suit

i have 7 adks 4 n armour 3 on guns, it saves time having to worry about getting new armour, plus the facti have over 50 millioncreeds worth of aas, on my armour

Just for a little tidbit of information, the difference between getting a suit of armor at 7900 Energy and getting a capped suit at 8200 energy makes so little difference that it's in no way worth the extra money a lot of AS's i've seen will charge for it.(on wanderhome anyway)

I know some AS's who charge over a mil for a Capped Energy Layered suit of armor, where as I sold mine for 600k(was 7914 energy, 5900 or so Elemental, and 3900 or so kinetic) of course if you're buying specialty armor like R.I.S. or you're getting a 4 socket set, that's a different story, but in my opinion, just get some Pre-CU boots/gloves for AA's, throw a couple into your bracers(the not as good ones) and then equip a bandolier, belt and shirt for CA's. Doing this will mean you never have to ADK your suit, and i can guarentee that unless you are paying way too much for CA's and AA's, you can get +25 speed and accuracy, +25 medical warfare for all the MCM's out there, and and +25 medical eff for easily under the price of one adk(again, on wanderhome anyway, where last i checked ADK's were worth 25 mil or so)

really, every time a BH tells' me they adk'd a full suit of RIS or something like that, i laugh because it's so easy to get the parts to make the suit again(especially seeing that you'll never have to get boots or gloves again, and probably won't need to get bracers/biceps too soon either)

Once youve been a TKM, youll know how nice it is to never worry about armour decay. It really does take a load off your mind when you know that all the hits your taking wont have to be paid for later.

But i personally think that ADKing armour is a bit pointless, unless like akas youve got 50million worth of SEAs in it you can just replace the whole suitfor a fraction of the cost of one ADK

The TKM armour is nice, but its got me doing a lot of maths, the general melee CA's got for for more a point than aa's (jedi bidders). armour has the ability to be AB sliced which TK doesnt, Battle armour can be layered for energy damage giving a 1000 bonus VS jedi, all in all when capping all my melee mods ADK's on major armour sections may work out cheaper in the long run .

The new AB crystal has got me looking at the figures again, as AB slicing Vs's jedi was (before it was broken) going to be the major advantage of the adk'd armour. unfortunately at the moment +25 of a general melee CA mod goes for more than a adk .

I've been TKM, and i do realize that no armor decay is nice, but as a BH, i take so little dmg(kiting) that really my armor doesn't decay that fast. And i don't use super good stuff for regular every day stuff.

I do agree that if you can afford to buy 50 mil of AA's/CA's then ya, ADK your armor, but as i said, if you shop smart, a full suit of armor, and the CA's/AA's needed to get you +25 of nearly everything you need, shouldn't cost you more then 20-30 mil, and if you're paying that much you can probably put them on clothing/Pre-CU socketed boots and glvoes so you'll never have to worry about dmg decay, just insurance decay which is easily covered.

Of course that's on wanderhome. To be honest, the extra +25 speed, accuracy, whatever you want to get in SEA's is nice, but really un-necesary as jedi are way too easy to take down now a days. At worst, if you go up against a fully prepaired Master defender, you could be in for a long fight, but with teh dmg you can mitigate, and the way you can kite them, you really only ever have to worry about your target running.

another solution may be to break your armor with a repair tool so it's 1/1 condition test it on some armor you got laying around not the good stuff, it should work till they fix it
