so.....any more comments ??

I can't give you the numbers, but AB is an invaluable tool if you plan on going to melee combat with your Lightsaber. You'll see noticeable difference damage if you watch the combat spam.

--------------

Basic Armor Break reduces armor by 45%.
Improved Armor Break reduces armor by 65% and lasts a little longer.
I dont know if this percentage is applied to the Armor Rating, the Resist Percentage (huge difference because of diminishing returns) or flat out the damage dealt before armor mitigations.
An armor broken target takes more damage from any attack it gets hit with, no matter if its a Lightsaber, a Lance, lightning, a laser bolt or Force Choke.

Bottom line, Armor Break increases the dps of any attacker on the target by way of increasing damage. Now, Im too sure what ab resist armor does. Whether it decreases the chance that ab sticks or mitigates damage. But I do know that you prob don't want to be a lightsbaer using Jedi too long without imp ab.

Throw that sucker on and hit with a powerhit and some other specials. It's the only thing that keeps jedi from getting killed while checking their harvesters (ie a cl 1 artisan which is what we are in so many ways).

I can just say something about The improved AB at LSx4xx.

It sticks almost everytime, also vs top pve target and melee stackers. It prevails vs the melee stacker's AB so I think it's better. I can't think to kill top pve beasts without this skill. It's really a must!

Opith

Armor break only works for the LSer (melee). It wont work for Powers (ranged).

Master Powers has the Choke tick that bypasses Armor.

And the Improved Armor Break allows more damage and lasts a bit longer.

i several times noticed, thet if target have an AB icon on it - my power attacks start dealing more dmg to it. choking - from base 500 up to 700-1000, so I wish just to look on any possible test resunls.
