An armorsmith on my server began selling 80/80/72 armor with blast in the SP and kinetic in the base. I got it sliced to 90% base (got 2 sets out of 10 that were sliced to 90)
This stuff is AMAZING. I got dizzy/kded by an elder twiceand it still couldn't kill me... It only took about 200 total HAM each dizzy/kd.
If you don't have any, bug the hell outta your server's armorsmiths to make it... it's a godsend.

i have yet to buy some, but i think i will.
wouldn't a encumbrance slice make it semi-worthless though?

Awesome stuff for high end content like NS, DWB, or the corvette. With no stun protection to use in PvP....well I'll pass on that one.

Would have really sucked if the elder whipped out a Stun Baton like she did on me

Well.. I figure, since all slices are random, that 1/4 of your slices will become 90% base. 25% and up effectiveness slices turn into 90% base armor with 80/80/72 armor. Slices at Master Smuggler range from 15% to 35%, hence making a 25% slice perfectly average
So yes... encumbrance slices do make it totally worthless... but out of 10 sets of chests, helms, boots, and gloves I got 2 chests, 2 gloves, 4 helms, and 4 boots that had 90% base, not too shabby if you ask me =P

I wouldn't want to go up against an elder in it but it'd be better than a suit of ubese and much better than nothing. 72% isn't uber but its pretty nice protection.

its all in a slice. a kinetic slice is growing more common but a AS cant make 90% kinetic on their own even if they used the old resources that droped wayyy back.

In which case you hit the burst run and get the heck out of there.
