corjoad Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just rolled up a BH and plan on making him a tech. For crew skill I'm leading toward armormech. Two questions....is the gear you can make decent, and does it look cool? Thanks for any advice. If I didn't go armormech I guess I could do cybertech or maybe armstech. No interest in biochem.

Quiet Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) I went cybertech on my Powertech. Since I acquired a near full set of orange gear in my level 20s, I've been able to use what I make via cybertech to keep it up to date. Spent less mats doing so, then it would have taken to constantly be making new gear every 2-4 levels and re-engineering to try and learn the better (blue/purple) versions of the new gear. IMO... Armstech, Armortech & Synthweaving are not very good crafting skills to have if you want to have upgrades for yourself. Because, you'll end up outleveling what you can make for yourself. But, it's good for gearing up alts or friends after you max'd level it. Edited February 5, 2012 by Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeGeeBee Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'm an armormech on my sniper. It was great for making my own gear. It's not difficult to keep your crafting well beyond your level which gives you time to RE stuff. I'd pick a few pieces based on my worst gear, go a few levels ahead and start crafting/RE'ing gear. Depending on how hard it is to find augs a critically crafted blue will be as good as a purple, of course you could get a crit purple too. I rarely found a mission that replaced gear I had crafted for myself with mats I gathered myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon_Starfire Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Is Cybertech, Slicing, Scavenging good for a PT? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegogsunit Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I just dumped slicing for underworld trading cos i wasnt getting anything useful for cybertech. I was ending up buying the mats i need for cybertech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
