This is the sort of question I would use the search function for, but, well, the search function on these forums work about 2% of the time 
. So I apologize if this question has been asked before or ifthe answer is obvious.
. So I apologize if this question has been asked before or ifthe answer is obvious.How can you determine your raw armor stats from your innate Teras Kasi skill mod? I would like to know if it is better for me to wear armor or not, but since it is kind of hard to know what +30 innate armor actually means I am wondering if there is some kind of formula.

at 30 percent wear armor
7000 armor I ehard is supposed to be like 80%
innate armor is 6000 I beileve at master which would be less than 70%

think of it as 3000 energy/kinetic armor. i am not sure of the exact percentage blocked. but 10000 armor is supposed to be 60% and 6000 (innate mod +60) is roughly 48%. therefore you are better off wearing armor until you reach master. most armors are better than 3000 rated. check the armorsmiths forum for exact perceantages....

Thanks to ImpSwordsman for this info.
1000 = 10.5%
2000 = 20.0%
3000 = 28.5%
4000 = 36.0%
5000 = 42.5%
6000 = 48.0% <------Innate Armor for a TKM
7000 = 52.5%
8000 = 56.0%
9000 = 58.5%
10000 = 60%
Percentages are the damage reduction
1000 = 10.5%
2000 = 20.0%
3000 = 28.5%
4000 = 36.0%
5000 = 42.5%
6000 = 48.0% <------Innate Armor for a TKM
7000 = 52.5%
8000 = 56.0%
9000 = 58.5%
10000 = 60%

Thanks for your help everyone, I think I get the idea now. You add two zeroes to your innate mod to get the raw number, then you can use a chart to figure out what that number means in %.
ADDENDUM: As a little thanks to everyone I took the liberty of finding the best-fitting quadratic curve for determining the % protection from the raw number. The formula is as follows:
%protection = (-.0000005 x raw_num^2) + (.011 x raw_num)
Do not input numbers greater than 10000 because that is beyond the range of the best armor in the game.
Alternatively, the equation can be adapted to convert directly from the innate armor mod to the % protection:
%protection = (-.005 x innate_mod^2) + (1.1 x innate_mod)
Similarly, do not input numbers greater than 60 for this formula.

"best-fitting quadratic curve for determining the % protection from the raw number" ....ok, now you are just showing off with your fancy maths.

lol sorry I didn't mean to scare anyone with "fancy math", I'm no mathematician myself. If it makes any difference I used a graphing calculator to figure out that stuff, I didn't pull it straight out of my brain

I tried devising a fairly simple formula that would help us TKM's tank the higher 95+ CL creatures without making us any more powerful than we currently are against CL 80's and didn't get any responses.
( (that post + your post) % possible conclusions) leads me to believe
conclusion = complex stuff is scary to us normal forum goers 
Thanks for the info!
