Just got master TK


I'm happy... hunted Rancor's on Dathomire for over 2 weeks to get master


Anyway


Currently I use Composite armor which is ok.. has a very high kenitic resistence.. but I don't want to keep wearing that all my life though!


So, question, is it always worth wearing armor in every fight I'm in?


And second.. is there ANY clothing out there that would benefit a Tera Kasi (profession specific clothing?) I know I said something like this in the TK thread about idea's and such but I might've missed something while playing

Grats on Master


I fight unarmored a lot, I just tend to stay buffed...


Nothing profession specific, but BE clothing can be quite helpful!

I used to use no armor...


...then a Tusken Hit me for like 13,000 damage with strafe shot2.



...and they want to nerf buffs.

I use armor only when I get buffs, or sometimes (rarely) when I wear Ubese while hunting (then I just use food and drink).

In PvP I get buffs and wear composite, otherwise I can't even compete.

Yes nerf buffs. Buffs are out of hand.

Nerf tuskens too though.

In all seriousness, NPCs and creatures were much easier before doctor buffs started to ruin PvE and allowed anyone to solo anything, so the devs made everything harder. Fix buffs and they can put PvE back to normal again.

If you claim to "own" me, I want to see the receipt.

Depends on what I'm fighting and how many. But like you said rancors... you can probably handle rancors fairly easily buffed without armor. It's a bad idea to get cought up between about5 enraged bull rancors simultaneously though. So always know how many are attacking you. If you get too many, throw on a chest plate and helmet, keep some synthsteak on you as well for important situations. A dose of some 45% synthsteak every once in a while when you get in a bind never hurts.


Our meleetoughness usually protects us enough while fighting the lower end stuff though. 57% melee toughness is very nice!

Holy! Was it one of the higher level ones like the Observer? That's harder than I've ever been hit... luckily I have been fortunate enough to avoid those beasts.

Heh, my first day messing around unarmored after I made TKM, I was on tatooine. Found the NPC that gives you the "kill the Tusken King" quest, and made my way to the village.


After a captain started pelting me for 1300+ damage right and left, I decided to put my armor back on. Since then, I always where armor when in the wild, comp when buffed, ubese when not. Didn't have any range mitigation at the time though, so it might be different now. If you plan on fighting at all without some good medic/doc skills and stims, you pretty much have to wear armor. The little stuff won't hurt you, it's the stuff that's WORTH fighting that will.
