Now, in my understanding there are 3 different BE'd clothing items you can wear with a full suit of composite
Bandolier (if you dont have a backpack.. shouldnt be a problem)
Undershirt
Belt
What mods do all of you PvP types keep on these items during PvP?
Also, someone told me last night that if you have Composite Helmet, Chest, Gloves, and Boots equipped, your entire body is protected, leaving an additional spot for BE pants. Is this true, and if so, what would you BE it with?

I can tell you not using armor pants in pve is bad so I would imagine pvp is the same.
You dont need bicep or bracer though, helm pants gloves chest boots is all you need
But I have seen a few overts of late without pants on so maby you dont... or many they just like to feel one with nature

actually, I just tested this and it appears that pants are not necessary for full armor protection. Wearing cloth pants and armor boots, as well as gloves, hat, ubese jacket, i fought for a while and checked all of the combat log. There weren't any hits where some piece of armor didn't absorb it.
To double check, I had a TKM hit me with the "leg hit" special while I was just wearing boots. I figured if anything would hit where i needed pants, it was a leg hit. But sure enough, the boots blocked it.
It seems that the only reason to wear these extra armor pieces is just for purposes of slower decay for your other stuff, but that doesn't really bother me in tight, PvP situations where you need every edge you can get.
That still leaves us with the question of what to do with our 4 BE stat mod clothes..
experts, whats the consensus?

I like to keep a Spec Ops Agent Field pack on(+3 ranged/melee defense) for the bandolier/pack slot.
I have a BE'd Melee/Stun Defense shirt on.
Havn't figured out what to do in terms of the Belt slot yet. Maybe look for some good carbine CA/AA's, get a Mabari belt, or something.
Of course, I'm not a PvP type, but...

I found armor to be an all or nothing thing for me. I tryed wearing composite head, body, leg and boots leaving just my arms exposed and got incapped alot for doing so so I bit the bullet and purchased bicep and bracers to complete my suit. For me this worked out much better.
Something else I found the hard way. Ubese armor should be called Useless armor, just a waste of good credits.

It's 100% true that you only need gloves, boots, chest and helmet for full protection, anyone who says otherwise either doesn't know what they are talking about or is lieing.

I've actually received some nasty action hits in PvE recently that suggests to me there has been some changes recently. I am a casual player though so it would be hard to place a date on any change but I certainly never used to get hit the way I have recently as a TKM wearing comp helmet/gloves, chest and boots. It doesn't happen very often but 1k+ action hits have happened.

good ubese is by no means useless. My 76% kinetic blocked all but670 points of a hit that was well over 3k. In case you're wondering...ancient krayt and it hit me like that on several occasions (in between feign deaths lol).
