Thread: My New Commando Boots!!
The pre-nerf ubeseshirts/bandos were no condition and were considered armor, thus are a great place to put AA's that won't decay for anyreason. The biggest market for these are through jedi, who cannot wear AA's in any other fashion, thus the price tag they carry now.
Post-nerf ubese shirts/bandos are now clothing items and take CA's. They also decay at a rate equal to any clothing item.
Zero condition items atm do infact apply any SEA's that may be on them (confirmed post CU, not sure seince recent patches). So for clothing it simply doesn't matter, but armor becomes just a hole. Boots and Gloves are taking damage, the gloves are just in a very rare hit box. Boots are right in there with the legs which are currently the most hit zone. I belive the only damage that can go directly to the gloves would be from a combo/scatter attack or a disarming shot. I can say that post-cu customers have reported damage on their gloves and boots that do not come from decay. In fact, the reason I would think the boots dropped so fast is the ratio present, where post-cu boots are 100 con, while these were 23K. Apply the same percentage over, and if that hit zone is taking it hard then it should drop just as quick as your pants. (really, no pun intended
)
