Well that certainly explains why cloths offer waymore protection than armor.

I'm probably missing something but here it goes.

These are my stats:

• Health= 1000


• str= 300


• con= 300


• Action= 500


• quick=300


• sta=300


• mind=1000


• foc=700


• will=800

With my set of cloths or naked and a scout blaster I can take an even con mob with some dificulty but I usually win and I use very little action or mind.

I put on a full set of Mabari armor and try to kill the same even con mob. That mob starts taking much larger chunks out of my life. Every shot I take drains my action pool. Every stim I use drains my mind. I loose the fight because I'm killing myself everytime I do anything.

I might be missing something but isn't armor supposed to be protecting meand not kill me? How does cloth or bare skin protect me better than hardend fiberplast?

oh yeah armor does help you in decreasing the amount of damage your pools take from an enemy attack not the amount of damage you cause to yourself with specials

Well I never use armor anymore.....everytime I put on a full set of bone armor I usually die because my Action bar goes empty?? I do much better without armor. I think the Devs need to revist the whole armor thing. Not much point in using armor if if serves to get your char killed at every turn. I can certainly understand some encumberances but the current format is out of whack.
