Comp armor will compare to assult armor

Bone armor will compair to scout armor

Chitten? armor will compair to Battle armor

There is no way of knowing ATM how good our current armor will be tho.

However I can say this, they will all be good in certin circumstances.

Very impressive. I can see a need to own several different sets - which is a good thing. Seems like lots of new number-crunching, and decision-making to do, which is also a good thing.

Plus, the scout armor is just REALLY cool...

I would hardly compare it to that

old system: Comp > Bone > Chiten

new assault=scout=battle, they all have their weaknesses and strengths so they're almost equals.

You miss understand, Bone armor, chiten and Composit armor is being reworked to.

I am assuming that Bone will be scout, Chiten will be battle and Comp will be assult.

Heavy will probly have more of the +300s to specific damage types than scout and assualt. Kinda like how comp is effective against more things. However the lower level armor will probly have near equal protection stats.

Example -

Scout Armorand Bone Armor

General protection -4000

Kenetic - 300

Energy - 300

Stun - 300

HAM - 100

Battle Armorand Chitten

General Protection - 5000

Cold - 300

Heat - 300

Acid - 300

Kenetic - 300

Electric - 300

HAM - 200

Assault Armorand Composit

General Protection - 6000

Cold - 300

Heat - 300

Acid - 300

Stun - 300

Kenetic - 300

Energy - 300

HAM - 300

Or something like that

I know how it goes, just comparing it with the armor we use today compared to categories of the future....thanks for describing it though.

But, reguardless of the General and type specific resistances.

Scout > Assult Armor versus Focused Beam so alot of these values don't matter if you have the wrong suit on. Or is someone can flip a weapon from one mode to the mode your armor is weak against in say X number of seconds, while you have to remove and swap a whole set of armor to stay on top of weapons as they change or as you move through opponents in a large combat.

That is the point. Yes, you will due poorly against sertian opponents. No, you will no longer be an Omega Killing macine. Yes, you will have to group with people of differnt armor types and differnt weapon types in order to do good in PvP and PvE. Also not all weapons are dynamicaly switchable, this leads me to belive that each proffesion will specilise in specific mode. And with each profession spcilizing in differint modes, they probly also specify in specific armor to.
