I would think that once you're certed for armor from a profession you can wear that armor without penalties regardless of weapon equipped. This is the only way I can see this working. Ranger, doctor and combat medic all have armor certs, but none of these professions have a way to 'switch to ranger', or 'switch to doctor'. If you mean unequiping your weapon this has generally meant that you've 'switched to TK'. As there's no way to 'switch to ranger' the certs must work regardless of weapon. In addition, they're unlocking specials from the profession you learn them in, so don't see why they'd then lock armor into the profression you get them.

If it's that way - I can live with that.

Also - the Marauder armour looks great for a Ranger to wear !!!!





Recon Marauder looks better than Battle Marauder - but since I'm ranger/rifleman (and if it's going to be like mentioned above) I can wear them both

So I asked him if he was certd for Mandalorian armour and ,guess what, he wasnt, so I pointed out that as it is the uberest armour in the game,






Ehm....

As we talk "current live" here (as you speak about Mando being certed for Master Rangers) I have to tell you Mandalorian is *far* from the "uberest", it's actually quite bad and mostly a "show-off" item with little real usefulness :-).



True, but the intention and ethos of the armour is still there, and most people think that way. my arguement wouldnt have the same effect on him if I said "Mando isnt the best combat armour and is mostly a showoff only players who are not the best in combat and mostly show offs are certed to wear it. Like master rangers!"

It has? What did artisans get in return?





Nothing.

Note the Recon marauder armor is like the coolest looking thing I've ever seen.

The marauder armours are mixed up. The stuff i was wearing about an hour back it says there is the assault armour but it said in game it was battle.
