most of you probably already know, but for those that don't...


special protection stun layers are becoming more common in top rate composite armor (on my server at least). Best i've seen to date is 38%, but i'm not sure what the upper limit may be.


jawa will still be the weapon of choice against composite, since anything else we use is guaranteed to be protected at least full strength (60% plus). but, jawas won't slice through this kind of composite like the armor is swiss cheese anymore.

...which is stupid. Every armor should have a strength and a weakness. Star Wars Galaxies coming ever-closer to being a MMOactionG instead of an RPG.

the added ham costs of the layers is pretty nasty though

everyone buff's nowadays, ham cost arent an issue, the devs need to fix this, fully buffed composite wearing fencer/pistoleer can take on 10+ people at a time, ive seen this with my own 2 eyes.

and the reason they can take on 10 people is because they are hard to hit...



that post about the unhittable templates is good and then of course eventually stacking defenses will be out of the picutre

if a fencer/pistoleer took out 10 people fighting alone:


1) a majority of those people were stupid, unbuffed, or both


2) most of those people were "leet" master marksman


i believe current theorhetical max for stun armor is 45%, the best i've heard of on bloodfin is ~40% till better resources for it spawn.


I love my jawa because of its low mind cost, when fighting for 10 min straight its nice to consistently use specials without much danger of dying to a random pool hit from a commando or something to my head.

Having a 40-45% stun layer when everything else is 90% is still a weakness. I'll agree with you when someone hits 60-70% on their stun layers.

The trouble is that most people would rather whine about the jawa / HS3 combo rather than go and buy some composite that has stun protection.
