all batons are pieces of sh*t unless they you are fighting a jedi, or someone without stun armor. ive used numerous batons, from a bugged 370-232baton, to a 273-602 baton (these are unpupped). they absolutely cannot deal enough damage against stun armor. however, since AP (armor piercing) has no affect on jedi force armor, batons seem to work quite well against them, if youre good enough.

Yea with stun armor batons are fairly useless, and if you add a Psg forget about it.

Why? Even if they do got stun armor, it's still max 44% pluss the PSG..... The Gaffi stick does kinetic damage and most ppl have 80%+ kinetic damage resistance, so why isn't Stun baton better? I know Gaffi sticks tend to do more damage, but the protection against kinetic is so often better than the stun protection.

If you're opponent is wearingstun armor and you're just a fencer, switch to another target. PSG is light armor and about 45% stun resist. So whatever damage you deal is cut in half, then reduced 45%. The it hits the armor, so reduced another 50% and then by whatever amountthe armor protects. Fencers versus stun armor totting pvpers aren't the high end class. Try switch to support and apply dizzy/blind to targets or go after jedis...fencers make good jedi killers

AP0 against AR1(Compo Armor or Wook Hunting etc.) = 50% damage reduce...another 40% hit in by the special protection...after that a sliced psg cuts another +40% down...being intimidated(another 50% damagereduce)u will deal next to nothing damage...and u lack any good special to attack the mindpool of your target...your opponent can healhis health and actionpooleasy with "stims b" if needed...

So if a composite armor has *any* stun protection, it would cut a stun batons damage in half just because its then light armor and the stun baton has ap0?

Exactly. So that 300-600 baton is reduced to 150-300 to start off...then whatever % the armor has of stun protection. So yeah...I've seen multiple times fencers with godly stun batons hit opponents for 8-18 damage a shot...not worth it 
Then again, that same baton hits a jedi for 1k so..lol..

Right...Even an 25% stun comp-armor would do a good job against stun bat or/and geo blaster...imo 40% is only needed for those nasty jawa ion(ap1)...
btw. Being an Armorsmith u should now about this fact...part of your business...

So a Vibroblade (AP1) is a good PvP weapon I guess...If you just could have nice stats on those too....
Hmmm...yeah I should have known this...indeed... Luckily I got it all right afterall (being AS and all..)
I'll guess I bring my swordsman, combat medic, rifleman and tkm with me and do some tanking for them
