Thread: Special Protections are Ridiculous

Armor piercing is totally unaffected by special protection, even the heavy armor piercing of the t21 pales in the face of the 80% special protection energy composite armor available too all, someone can hav 3 different suits of it hotkeyed and each with 4 different special protections so as to be well nigh invulnerable. To me this is a great cruelty to the rifleman profession, not too mention being absurd and ridiculous.


You might think the disruptor rifle would help us, but there is 80% special prot acid composite, the jawa rifle? there is 80% special protection stun composite......not too mention each suits other 3 protections.

It is not an injustice because it affects everyone that uses that damage type. However, you have hit on the biggest problem in the game: Armor in general. It is one of the biggest reasons we are seeing so many nerf cries for us. We had the one truly effective weapon against most armor in the game. So a pistoleer firing his energy based Republic Blaster against an 80% energy armor, is seeing 20 points of damage per shot, while we bypass his 500k non-stun protection armor with our jawa.


The armor is unbalancing the game in the same way defense stacking is. As long as people can enter PvP with little fear of being damaged, they are going to own anyone who cannot afford to buy the same equipment, and vast herds of nerfs will sweep across the land.

Yo, chief. What server do you play on? 80% stun composite is a wet dream buddy......the best I have ever seen is 36% stun on Eclipse. I have heard rumor of some 39% stun helms but havn't seen one yet.

Best stun armor on Eclipse is 39%. You can buy full suits in fact, but the HAM is outrageous. Check out Wols shop in the StarWares mall outside Bestine. One of the best armorsmiths on the server in my opinion, and a great guy to do business with.



Also, why the hell would anyone want to have 4 suits of armor with special protections? Why not just do cold special protection, 69%av, eff slice everything for 90% to all except stun. Much better than 80%.


Me thinks the original poster really has a great deal to learn about this game.

Why do you need four suits of armor when one suit of composite can have stats like:


85% in all but Stun where it has 40%, armor is obscenely powerful, especially when combined with buffs. And people wonder why everyone goes rifleman.


Punkass nerfherder pistoleer/carbineer "Everyone goes rifleman because you can hit 1 shot per second!"


Wrong Stupid, it's because we have the only weapons that can put a dent into GODMODE armor.

your also missing the point that all damage is at a 75% reduction in pvp on top of the armour defenses.

i'm not arguing that good armor is too powerful, but psg protections still migrate... get one with good stun protection today, cross a few server boundaries, log, and then check the protections tomorrow.

What kind of drivel is this? How dare you suggest that using a weapon as it is designed and in its intended purpose is an abuse just because it happens to be effective against armor that protects against everything but its damage type. I suppose using an armor piercing weapon against an unarmored target is abuse. I suppose using ranged weaponagainst a melee opponent is abuse.


Grow up.
