80% resists to everything unsliced ... impossible
I would love to see how you get that. The very best I have seen unsliced is 75% to everything and 26% to stun and that was using multiple high base looted components.
How exactly do you get 80% base to everything unsliced? I would love to know.
Ouch, you can only get stun to 26%? I feel for you =P
We get ours up to like 39%, 40% or even higher /shrug
I have 40% stun also, the highest stun I can get with 75% base unsliced was 26%. You can do 40% stun, 75% base unsliced? That is some good armor if so. I don't actually make armor, I just hang with someone who does.

Im assuming that 90% base 26% stun is sliced? If not those must have been made with some (Exceptional) or (Legendary) loots. The reason why you can't get too high of base with high stun, is from what I understand, you need to use all three layers for stun layers if you want 40% stun. The 26/75 armor I have was the product of 12 point smith with nice janta hides and nice sister loot in them.

best armor on kauri is 40 stun, and around 65-70 base. you'll need 12 point exp to get it.even higher is possible with janta hide and stuff

We have 90base/25 stun(PVE) and 88base/40stun(PVP), and of course the usual 80/80/90, which is 80/80/70 unsliced.

Yep, and for all those losers out there, 25% stun or 40% stun doesn't matter!
25% stun armor: Say someone hits you with a stun baton for 100 damage
Light armor rating reduces it to 50 damage
25% stun rating reduces it to 37-38 damage
25% stun armorreduces 62% of the damage
40% stun armor: Someone hits you for 100 damage again
armor rating reduces it to 50 damage
40% stun reduces it to 30 damage
40% stun armor reduces 70% of the damage
Not to mention the damage that will be reduced if you have a PSG equipped, in other words, there barely is any differencebetween 25% and 40% stun armor, in fact I'd say 25% is better because it's easier to get some 90% base armor with that

The only important spot for a 39-40% stun layer is the helm, coupled with psg and food to reduce damage from master headshot spam with a jawa from a rfifleman. Otherwise anywhere from 15-25% on the rest of your armour is fine to get a higher base resist unsliced leaving it possible for the 90%+ slices on base. This of course leaves you a little vuln in the head area to swordsman seeing as from a 66-69% base which is about as high as it gets from any good 10-12 point smith with 39-40% stun acieves only a possible 85-87% slice. Watch out for the powerhammers and uber scythes but I find this combo works just fine and dandy. With buffs/proper food/dam miti and rgd/mel defs and good armour/psg's the only tactic left in warfare nowadays is DoT anyhow.
