Armor is very situational, you can't just wear it and forget about it, nor can you wear it and expect to use the same style of fighting you use without it (i.e. spamming specials). When there's multiple things attacking me though, my 46% HAM sliced composite is my best friend. When I'm tanking in armor is pretty much the only time I use my VKs anymore too (since I won't be using specials anyway). The only other time is usually on imperial pets that I want to drop REALLY fast if it's not a big fight.

Knocking down stormtroopers and then /unarmedhit3-ing them for 3-4k damage with VKs on is nice too, if a bit taxing on the HAM.

For me, armor is an absolute must. I doubt I'd ever be getting to TK Novice without it. I'm almost there now.

Light Armor means that damage is halved if the opponent armor piercing is none and it's not vulnerable to that damage type. I upgraded to a set of Ubese last night and had it sliced. Ubese isn't too bad on encumberance and looks much better than Chitin. Most mobs that I fight are affected by my armor. I wear it on most slots except the helmet.

The additional costs for my special moves is negligible, but then I don't have any of the TKA moves yet. Going from 14 HAM to 15 HAM for instance is not a problem. Stun and Blind are taking about a 4 pt HAM hit, but I don't have the exact numbers right now. Since I'm getting hit for half damage most of the time it's easily worth it for me. Seeing the armor saves for 90+ is really nice. Regen is slower, but I rely on stims for that anyway. My mind enc is fairly low, but is a factor as always. I'm usually incapped by mind damage, but I'm loathe to wear a helmet
