Note: All numbers, certs, etc. come from the CU character builder at Clicky

Ok, my original idea was Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer/BH 0040 as a pure Pistol template.

My new idea is sort of a concession to style (as we Smugglers are always aware of). Since all the armors are basically not very fashionable (though all black Ubese is somewhat tolerable except the helmet). In trying to get away from wearing any armor at all, I've come up with...

Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer/TK 0440.

This template loses 15 Melee Defense, 1 Ranged Defense, 17 General Ranged Accuracy, and 9 General Ranged Speed, Scout Exploration (Terrain Negotiation) plus the two Pistol Specials from the BH Pistols line (which may not be a huge loss since they're similar to the specials in the Smuggler and Pistoleer trees).

This template gains some ability to use Unarmed combat with 245 Unarmed Damage, 130 total Accuracy, and 105 total Speed. Also get to use the Vibroknucks and Blaster Fist and get a couple of Unarmed Specials.

Now, the big thing here is the 40 Innate TK Armor. The TK Correspondent said this will work no matter what weapon you have equipped as long as you're not wearing any armor. My question is, how will 40 Innate TK Armor compare to Recon Armors in damage mitigation? If it's reasonably comparable, this may be my template and I'll fight without armor (and be quicker and more accurate as well as being more stylish).

Comments?

Not a bad idea, as for me I like having armor and after looking into it I should be able to put something fashionable together mixing Reb/Ubse/Marauder/Normal Cloths for street or light armor. Chest is only part Im still at a lose on but over all I found what I need to look cool and still be protected. MS/MP for me with FS is my goal 'cause im shooting to max cap speed and accuracy.

There's not going to be a cap, from what I heard, just the more you get the less benefit you get, kind of a dimishing returns kid of thing, that's why I'm not so concerned about the numbers being too high. And I never did like armor.

This could be a very good idea. Still toying with getting master Rifleman with my Smuggler and some other stuff.

I don't think we can see your report that way...

The only thing is I'll miss that Meditate like you have there, but there's no TK armor in that branch, just the two I listed. And since wounds are supposed to heal on their own over time, I don't think it's such a concern any more, and it wan't in my other template either.And that 40 TK Armor I would have is only 20 less than the full TKM's 60, so it can't be too bad.

Anyone know anything about armor in the CU, what the resist levels are?

EDIT: What I'll miss in my other template is the Terrain Negotiation. I'll be slow as ever going up hills.

With the newest patch it will take me 24hrs to update (56k, dont ask)so I may not be back to CU testing anytime soon.

I can only speak for recon armor.

Advanced has 70% enegy, 40% kin and if I remeber somewhere around 50% elemental. cond was about 45000. This is off the frogs. and wearing it at novice gives me a -29% accuracy penaly (forget the rest but it's less than 29).

I'm going to take a wild guess on TK innate that it will translate to a pure percent of damage reduction. Thus at Master with +60 innate it will be 60% resists, but that's just a guess.

Well, with this info I may be back to my original template. It seems a Master Smuggler can completely remove all penalties on Advanced Recon Armor, and if the armor has 70% energy, that's much better than 40% from TK armor.

I thought armor resists weren't going that high in the CU?

They are, kinda. Assault armor is reversed. It has high Kinetic, but low energy and decent everything else (I think) whereas, Battle armor isn't great at anything, but bad at nothing. I think
