You know, now that its mentioned, I have noticed once or twice that my armour didn't quite work. Nothing serious tho, so if the bug is back, its in a very small way.

nothing different for me. krayts and elders works the same way was usual.
though - i dont flip armor up and down all the time. just my helmet for faster mind regen.

i have had major armor issue, i was caught overt with three guy pounding me at once. I had 74% kinetic ubese and 46% imp psg, they were using stun battons and scythes. My armor didnt stop 1 hit.

Come to think of it, I dueled someone in Bestine (twice, once unarmed and once with my powerhammer) and both times my armor didn't stop one hit. Keep in mind I wasn't buffed and I was only wearing Ubese gloves and bracers, but usually they'll stop at least a few hits.

Took my swordsman/pikeman to the Geo cave the other night, faced about 30 mercs in that one room alone, I noticed a few times they landed direct hits without armor preventing but otherwise it's still the same for me. Even when I took my Doc/Carbineer toon to the Jabba Corvette with 80% energy/73% kin comp, I was chased around the ship with 3 SBDs and 7 security specs for about 15 mins while my other groupies died misserably and I was taking only minimal damage from them all.

i wouldnt know about the armor thing, but for some reason i feel like i'm doing less damage than usual... just for the sake of being bored and wanting something easy to clear out, i went to the narg cave and was only avegering about 2300 to 2600 per attack, using area3, hit3, and head hit3.. and yet if i used auto attack i would be hitting them for an average of 800 to 1200, which i found quite strange. but i could have just been having an off day or something...

I was watching the combat spam in regards to my HAM bars... and I noticed that when I got hit, it took my health down the full amount of the hit, but then I got the message that my armor blocked blah blah damage....
So , its like... its taking the damage off first, THEN applying the armor resist.. and resetting the health to the new total...
I dont know if im seeing things or whatnot... but when fighting 20 blacksun henchman, it seemed pretty evident to me
