It depends on whether or not you can afford to be buffed and stuffed every minute of the day. I'm a bothan so I can't wear anything outside of mabari's, or maybe just a comp helm, without hitting up docs every few hours, so the answer for me is no.

i 'd get buffed by a doctor, and were all the pieces of armor but the helmet if ur going to hunt by ur self. If ur with otehr people, lets them attack first and u can attack the Creaeture with no armor and the HAM won't hurt u that much. As long as it doesn't attack u ur fine.

In PVP I always wear my armor: Full suit of Composite

In PVE I wear it if I need to, but most of the time I try not to, get alot more specials without killing my mind pool.

If I am in a group hunting, almost never...but then again I'm always buffed. See signature for professions:

In PVE, I wear Kinetic Resist Enhanced Bone armor in case what I'm fighting reaches me before I kill it. It have very low enc. unsliced.

Currently the answer is yes, my advice is to befriend or become a doctor.

I wear a full suit of triple layered composite, encumberance sliced to be under 400 HAM. With the new foods (Ahrisa+Vasarian Brandy) I have no problem with mind costs from styles, and with doctor buffs all my style costs drop to zero. I also have a suit of high resist armour that I wear when buffed and stuffed. So for me as a rodian rifleman I would say that using armour is 100% viable with the new overpowered foods. I do still save muon's for emergencies, but I rarely need to actually use them anymore.

Unfortunately, I think the sheer overpoweredness of the buffs and food will get us nerfed into oblivion. But at least all the FOTM morons will leave

i have a full set of 80% comp armour. the only enc sliced bit is the helmet

my stats are 400/500/500/400/400/400/1100/1100/600

that allows me to put my armour on unbuffed and have a few points left over for regen.

I put the armour on in PVP, and in pve i only put it on when i need to.

also when you have rifleman stats armour can mean the diff between instant incap and escaping

Nope, I don't wear any armour and I typically head out unbuffed. Don't really have to as I try to tactically never put myself into a position of vulnerability (ie. let them come to me, force them down at 60m, move out of their range)

Standard routine for yellow to red cons during PVE, engage at 60m, get bleed in, headshot till agro, once target moves (depending upon target speed) either run or ride away on vehicle till target disengages. Once target disengages, move back in fast while bleed is still active and hopefully get another headshot till bleed causes new agro... repeat. I can come out of a fight against 3-4 humanoidreds with very little used on my mind bar (due to recharge rates), may take a bit longer but I know I'm pretty safe.

In Dantooine which is ripe with little pools of water everywhere, a great tactic is to engage and agro a target, get that target into the water, get on to the opposite shore line, headshot, headshot, as they get closer to shore I run along the shoreline and get to a position on the opposite bank... result: you keep the target doing laps and they cannot engage in combat activities.

Armour is not required for any of the above activities as my tactic is to avoid a firefight. I'm always engaging at 60m, and I'm always the only one who's getting any shots off (conceal, engage, disengage, engage, disengage). I play rifleman as a sniper character, not as a heavy machine gunner. The challenge of engaging something without any armour or buffs makes the experience a little more interesting. Sure, it may not be the powergamers way to make it to master but "playing with your target" is entertaining.
