OK I need to decide what armour to get. I am a Master Carbineer, Master Bounty Hunter, CM 4000. Recon armour looks the best at stopping lightsaber damage but I dont have any mitigations for recon armour. Carb's gives Battle Armour Mitigation and so does CM. BH gives Assualt Armour mitigations so I am not sure what to get. I also need to know exactly which armour set to get. I have 5 million in the bank so this should be enough


But I dont have any faction points


P.S. I killed a Jedi today who after I had deathblowed him said he was going to quit the game because I was a rebel and he was a rebel

you might as well get comp, since u dont got recon. pistoleer and smugglar are good , and offer recon mitigation, so most BH prefer that temp, cause recon is great vs sabers..




PS, i'd avoid killing faction members, gives ya a bad reputation on your server, and IF/WHEN GCW and FRS are worth a fook again, you will want to have some jedi on your side....




my solution, ( since i am smugglar/bh) is switch factions accordingly lmao, or stay nuetral


i work for the highest bidder on my BH....

i'd suggest battle armour just because the energy is better. I wouldnt bother getting it layered because it will die so fast if it isnt adk'd...but since lightsabers do energy,battle would block more. Don't bother with a PSG, they only block against ranged energy.

Get energy layered battle armor if you intend to fight high level jedi, and primus layered battle if you are doing mixed pvp (non jedi haveseveral good kineticweapons) or are hunting jedi who have rifleman skills since jedi using ROTW looted kinetic rifles when they see a target in recon or battle is becoming more common. Wear a PSG for any rifle wielding jedi as well to mitigate those ALR jedi further.


Certainly do not get comp or chitin for that matter, its assault and its energy protection will be low.


As an example, here are the stats on capped armors, there will be smiths on your server who can hit the unlayered caps and get close to layered caps.


Unlayered

recon 7000 energy, 5000 kinetic, 6000 base
battle 6000 energy, 6000 kinetic, 6000 base
assault 6000 energy, 6000 kinetic, 6000 base.

Layered

energy recon 8200 energy, 3800 kinetic 6000 base
primus battle 6600 energy, 6600 kinetic 5400 base

Energy battle 7200 energy, 4800 kinetic 6000 base
kinetic assault 3800 kinetic, 8200 kinetic 6000 base
primus recon 7600 energy, 5600 kinetic 5400 base


Protectionconverts to resists as below

1000 = 10.5%
2000 = 20.0%
3000 = 28.5%
4000 = 36.0%
5000 = 42.5%
6000 = 48.0%
7000 = 52.5%
8000 = 56.0%
9000 = 58.5%
10000 = 60%

So you can see, energy layered battle is within 3% of the best energy layered recon.

Marauder and Padded are the leading Battle sets on my server; Marauder is gaining popularity, and Padded is losing some.

The final appearance is just a skin, the resists are defined by the core component. Hence there should be no difference in terms of resists/protection for any sort of battle. Your battle choices are bone, padded, marauder and RIS. Marauder has the biggest colour palette closely followed by padded so you can get plenty of colour choices with these. Expect to see about 42-48K condition on the bone,padded and marauder. RIS will give you about 100k condition but requires loot components to craft and so will cost more.


Prices are very server dependent, capped unlayered armor would typically go for 250-400k, maybe it a bit higher if you want a custom build with a particular colour choice. Layered stuff uses double the resources, so expect to pay at least double. If you supply your own loot components, 7 GDK's, & woolmander bone fragments and 7 gurk king hides (7 piece suit, no gloves, boots) then expect the smith to charge say 100k per piece for final assembly. These prices are veryserver dependent


I charge 100k per RIS piece if loot supplied. 330k for capped unlayered and 600K for layered stuff, 50k extra for custom colours.I'm on farstar.

padded with an RIS helmet looks really cool...expensive to get the helmet sort of, with what GDK scales go for now.
