Thread: Is Droid Armour FUBAR?
Ok finally got around to test my adv probot with 2 x level 4 armour in it. So much for the arguement that Droid Engineer isn't a combat class - neither is a Creature Handler.
The droid is rated at Medium Armour 40% resists.
Told it to kill a tatooine rockmite. Droid seemed to be being hit for 60 points of damage on average. This seems alot of damage from a creature if it it getting through medium armour (50% reduction followed by 50% reduction then 40% reduction?).
I am guessing that the resist is the only thing that is reducing the damage.
Is this correct and has someone bugged this?
YES
All droid armor is AR 0. So if it has 40% resists, it will block 40% damage and nothing else, even against a weapon that is not armor piercing.
Also, the armor has a bug where it will randomly drop and gain resists across server boundaries.
