Armor vs Shielding - JakeBlues - 2009.Mar.17 07:57 PM
Now that shielding has reached some decent possibility.
I was wondering, in your opinion, do you think replacing armor for shielding
(aka wearing just the shield and not the body armor) is something that would be equivalent?
B4C - EH 301
Goal, of course, is to keep the encumbrance rate as low as possible.
Any test ever run on that?

Care to share Pun?
I already tought that SV had most likely ran this test in the past. My guess is that the shield sucks without the armor.
Am I guessing in the right way? I am not asking for much more details than that.
Thank you.

friend of mine resd close to 800 with just a 301 and no armor

Does armor do anything, I lent a friend my sic armor today, and have been attacking all my usual targets. I have not noticed any difference in my results. Seems like i might as well sell the sic and upgrade to a 301.

Armor does not have any upkeep while shielding do.
Plus, u do resist a bit more with the armor on.
RE: Armor vs Shielding - StreetSamurai - 2009.Apr.01 02:34 PM
I would say 90% plus of what i resist in a fight is shield, with maybe 10% coming from my armor. I think i'll keep my sic, but i don't think i'll bother upgrading it, just my shield.

50% on armor and 50% on shield for me.
