Brueson Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Ok, so first off, I can't find a search function for forums, thus, sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere. I have the ability to craft light armor with Shield Rating and Absorption stats on them. I know of no class that wears light armor as its primary that uses a Shield generator. I am unclear on why these stats would be on light armor. Does Shield Rating give you a chance to block damage despite the fact that you don't have a shield? And conversely, Absorption rate is based on shielding something in the first place, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saldrex Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Sith inquisitors still wear light armor and also wear shield generators as a tank. I believe they use the word glance in the scrolling combat text instead of shield though but is based off of shield stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saldrex Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Dont smugglers use it? Smugglers should have access to medium armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don''t have a shield equipped, do shield related stats give you anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
