Driod armor modulesFAQ says have 4-20% resistance depending on number, but do they not get armor rating 1 any longer?

Nope.

Droid armor gives no AP/AR any longer.


Note: 20% resists to all is the max. armor level available.

Respectfully,

If you are refering to the Armor Ratings of Light and Medium, they were removed from the game during Publish 7. This was to compensate for the increase in HAM and to bring droids more in line with non-CH pets (the legal kind not the 9k+ HAM with 40%+ resists).

AR1 and AR2 ratings put the droids way over the Level rating that they were/are listed at. With the HAM increase to Combat Droids, the AR1 and AR2 ratings would have effectively increased the droids combat rating to Level 25 and beyond, with is what you see in Creature Handler pets.

I'm a Bio Engineer and I make pets under lvl 30 with armor all the time. Of course I've not made one under 20 with it.

It just sems odd that driod armor isnt even armor.

Lets take the Adv LE Droid with Max combat for instance. The LE has 6k HAM. If you were to tack on AR1, that would effectively boost the HAM to 12k. If you tack on AR2, that would effectivelyboost the HAM to 24k.

If I'm not mistaken, a CH pet with with 6k HAM and AR2 would be in the CL 30 range. This would put a droid that anyone could use in the CL 30 range, without the expenditure of skill points or experience. Kind of takes a lot of wind out of the sails of the CH and would trivalize combat even further then what we see it now. The CU will have an impact on combat, should change a number of things..
