Sorry.
One final tip. Little known fact, butwhen wearing armor: biceps/bracers/pants are totally un-needed.
Gloves/boots/helmet/chest will protect 100% of the damage.

Except Carbineer multi-Taget shots, they will go thru sometimes, both for players and NPC's. Have proved it myself (by cloning lol, and reviewing combat log). I think there is one other special that does it, but I dont remember the profession

If you always wear Comp. Armor and have buffs make sure all to migrate all stats to health,mind and action. While wearing armor they are auto at 1/1 so having extra points on the others wont matter.
I dissagree. your far better off migrating everything to your mind stats as it is far more dificult to get the mind subs buffed as high as you can get health and action and their subs buffed by a doc. my preferance is 1k-maxed for mind rest of the points split between focus/will any leftovers (if non human) into health and action. my human fighters are usaly 400 strait accross the health and action stats and 1100 mind and 900ish focus will (cant rember exact number cause I'm not in game) this alows me to actualy get by nicely with just doc buffs (easy to get) and good food (easy to get in quantity and carry with ya) and let musician buffs be frosting (pain in the arse to get sometimes) if you have all your points in the pools you prety much have to be buffed by musician and food buffs or you mind will drain too fast in comp armor and youll cap yourself.

Example I blew thou the Jabba theme park in 3 hrs because ........I had uber buffs ,,,,, speeder.... lots of good information....uber armor ..... and lots of cash (which i earned on my own) to buy the said items, if i didnt have those things id still be trying to finish it !
Im spoiled rotten and im almost embarrassed to tell people I mastered 3 proffesions in less than 2 weeks being a noob!
So go wade into a pack of pickets or Mokkswith no leg , bicep, bracer armor.... can i watch pls... i could use a good laugh when i see on the screen ...dumbarse misinformer has just fallen incapacitated !, Dumbarse knowitall with no armor in 3 places has died! .... Dumbarse has cloned at the dant cloneing facility and is crowing how he dont care because he wont suffer decay in those 3 places,,,what a brain storm,,, BTW maji's , act , on flurry sell pretty good armor if you need leg ,bracer and biceps ok !
Im sorry I apologize for flaming but I just COULD not hold back on this one! Flame me all you want I wont respond to any more replies on this I have said enough .
Up until a week ago, you didn't need to wear leg armor only what was posted up there to get full protection, if you wore it it would take some of the hits if you didn't your boots took all the hits. It's that simple.
I did the DWB while only wearing gloves, boots, chest and helmet and got full protection.So quit yelling in incoherent posts about us not knowing anything, we do know how this game works, as I said somewhere above they fixedthe legpart of this bug that allowed full protection with only 4 pieces. Before flaming test it yourself and flame then if necessary. (I still won't wear biceps and bracers)
With onlygloves, boots, chest and helmet I killed nightsister spellweavers, observers (couldn't hurt elders as pikeman, but tanked them nonetheless) by the hundreds, when they didn't have specials I'd take on 3 observers and a spellweaver at once. With theirspecials one at a time to be sure, never did I take any big hits. I've even tanked Tusken Executioners, Super Battle Droidsand Ancient Krayt Dragons with this armor setup.
I even did piketts, Aakuan champions,Mokks and Jantas unarmored as a pikeman so![]()
I also blew through the Jabba's theme park in 3 hours without buffs, armor nor information, I had a speeder to help methough, it was actually fun (and almost challenging)to do so.

I consider this an exploit. It's a major help in lowering mind (and health/action) encumbrance and obviously not intended.

I have to spend stomach space on an extra brandy or canapé when wearing a full set of armor. That space could be used for thak, synth or any number of other things that could turn the battle. So when I go up against someone "taking advantage" of this bug I consider them to be cheating.

You are quite right actually, butI liked the bug mostly because itallowed us to go to battle in some modicum of style instead of all looking like the same composite clones ![]()

My tip got swallowed by the forum software somehow. Weird. Here it is again: if you keep getting rebilled and want it to stop, hit the "Cancel Subscription" button.
(Or is that considered an exploit?)
Happened to me this summer when I wanted to take a break for studying, I kinda took a lot of breaks from studying instead
