How about stats? Any idea what defenses they'll have, etc?

I tried to get that info for the Feature, but they are still being worked out by the devlopers. I can tell you that this will not be the strongest armor because we intend to add more in the future. I'm guessing we'll release those next week.

I hope it's not that strong at all....wookies do get increased stats, you know...

Ok guys, I'm going to go thru this in the simplest way I can think of. We'll compare a health bar of 1000 with 80% comp armor protecting it to try to figure out exactly how much of a stat increase Wookies would need to be equal.

Say a hit against this 1000 health bar would take away 10 points of damage. 80% of it is absorbed by armor, so that means only 2 points will get through. So, how big would a Wookie's health bar need to be to equal the protection given by this armor? Do the math! It's 2 * 5 = 10, so the Wookie's health bar would have to be 1000 * 5 = 5000 health! That's how much they'd need to be on an equal plane! They don't come NEAR that! Best they can hope for is maybe 1300, right?

What does that equate to? 1000 * x = 1300... x = 1.3. So take that original hit, 10 = 1.3 * y. y = 7.7. So, the wookie's stats are like having a protection of what? 10 - 7.7 = 2.3

THAT'S 23% PROTECTION FROM STATS VERSUS 80% PROTECTION WITH COMP ARMOR!

And that's unbuffed! Do you realize how bad it gets when buffs are taken into account? That means a wook would need a 15000 HAM to equal a 3000 HAM 80% comp armored toon. 3000 * x = 3300, x = 1.1, 10 = 1.1 * y, y = 9.1, 10 - 9.1 = 0.9

BUFFED, A WOOKIE'S STAT BONUS AMOUNTS TO A 9% PROTECTION VERSUS THAT SAME 80% PROTECTION A BUFFED, COMP ARMORED PERSON GETS!

I hope that makes the problem CRYSTAL clear to you.
