Thread: Armor slicing question
Hey, hoping some of you could answer a quick question for me. I know you gain the ability to slice armor at Slicing III. Do Slicing IV and Master Smuggler add anything to your ability to slice armor, or no? I spoke with someone who told me that even at slicing III 44% is possible with armor. That would be great, but would Slicing IV and Master Smuggler do anything else to improve the slicing (i.e. do you tend to get more high percentages with higher slicing, or no)? Just want to be sure about this before I start getting some high-quality armor sliced on a regular basis.
Thanks,
Terek

Actually, other threads show that while the percentages seem to actually drop at Slicing IV, they go back up at Master level.
Choose your own poison.

There is definitely an advantage to being a Master Smuggler, as opposed to Slicing III or IV.
As a Master Smuggler I routinely slice armor for 30%+ and up to 45%.
At Slicing III I would routinely hit single digit slices on armor, which were horrible, and I can't remember getting anything over 30% on armor. I didn't slice anything at Slicing IV (went all the way to master before gaining it). At Master Smuggler the lowest I've hit on armor was 15% (anything under 20% is very rare though) and I routinely hit in the high 20's and up to 45% on armor.
Yes, I'd say there was a huge difference in slicing quality as you progress.
So no one has an answer for this? Okay, well, I'll make it a smuggler specific question then.
Does slicing armor prevent putting Armor Attachments in it?
/sarcasm The outcry of your overzealous responces is positively deafening. Thank you all so much for your courteous assistance.
If I missed something in the FAQ, you could say so, but I read it as well as the current issue listing and I didn't see anything. I would have asked on the armorsmith forums, however how slicng effects their product doesn't seem to be something I should be asking them now does it?
Now that I'm reading this forum though, I suppose I came to the wrong place for guidance. I didn't realize Smuggler was short for "OMG The New Expansion is for Jedi".

There are not that many people on the forums right now, it is Saturday -- a prime gaming day and you only put your question on the table two hours ago (from the time stamp on the above post). Sheesh! You might want to exersize some patience and wait more than two hours on a Saturday (prime gaming day!!) before flaming an entire group of people. Also, did you consider that perhaps the people online in the last two hours AND who are reading this forum AND who actually read your post may not know the answer?
Everything is alright... we care.
My understanding is that you can't add the tapes after putting on the ADK. But I am not sure about that. You might also try the armorsmith's forum. You may not get a response within two hours there, either, though -- you may have to exersize some patience.
