Tovenar Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 ...but I guess I'll wear heavy armor on the rest of my body to really complete that "you have armor that by looks alone seems to have no function" look. How badly gimped will I be? I have played a male inquisitor for the past 50 or so levels. I feel the need to look at some bum for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Armor will be a bit lower On the plus side they stated they are adding Heavy Armor social items shortly. (around 1.2 iirc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tovenar Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Woo thanks for the response! I look forward to whatever "heavy" skimpy outfits they come out with. Me and a bud are playing the Bounty and Agent class stories together statically and we want to level exclusively through social gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardened Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The Human *** model looks weird, if you look at it for a while you will notice it.Also the pants/chest are your two biggest armored pieces meaning you'd be giving up a ton of armor.

Jestunhi Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 My jugg uses the slave girl bikini without any issues. Of course the defense will be lower but keep in mind that not all attacks are mitigated by armour anyway when working out if the loss of armour is worth it.

Mapex Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) My jugg uses the slave girl bikini without any issues. Of course the defense will be lower but keep in mind that not all attacks are mitigated by armour anyway when working out if the loss of armour is worth it. This is incorrect. Most attacks ARE mitigated by armor. The ones that aren't are much fewer in number (or the spec relies on them heavily but does more consistent, less bursty damage to remain balanced). 90% of what a Sage/Sorc casts at you is mitigated by armor; only the internal damage DoT and 2 to 3 other attacks ignore armor. Powertechs/Vanguards do a lot of energy and kinetic damage if PyroTech (RS, RP, TD, Unload, Rapid Shots; only fire DoTs and Flame Burst ignore armor) but a lot elemental and internal damage if Adv. Prototype (FB, RB DoT, Immolate, Flamethrower; still, RP, RS and RB initial hit are affected by armor). Most attacks bypass Defense (only affects melee and ranged blaster/weapon attacks) and Shield (does not block melee/ranged attacks that crit or any Tech/Force attacks), however.
