Thread: prenerf probot
Well, it really depends. The pre-nerf probots had HAM of up to 3800, the current adv. probot HAM is around 3200. If it had the max armor back then, i think it could be something like 80% across the board,it may not still have it but it's worth a look. Current max is 40% with an AP of none - so none of us are really sure if armor does any good at all right now. I think it does, but It can't be any better than what the pre-nerf had.
Current full combat probots have attack ratings maxing out at 550, which translates to about 190 dmg @ .8 spd. The early ones varied alot because of the limited amount of quality resources at the time. Permadeath is out, but I don't know for certain that your old one wont disappear the 1st time it dies.
You can't change the modules in a droid once it's built, so if you like any of the new modules, you have to buy a new droid.
Some of the other droid chassis have become quite useful compared to the old probot, so you might want to take a look around and see if some of the new droids do what you want done better than your old one. For example, people seem to like the adv. LE droid as a tank because it maxes out at around 6k HAM. The new adv. probot is still good for plenty of work, mostly because of the 5 available module slots.
I too have an original pre-nerf probot. Not many are left, most were wiped out during the perma-death plague that ripped through the droid community. Many a good droid fell during those dark days. He may not be considered the best with the new flashy models, but mine still holds his own in combat and still comes back if destroyed. I would suggest holding onto him if for no other reason than loyalty.
