Is armor worth it??

[crispb]

I haven't died, but get hit by attacks a few times. usually deals damage to shield and some health. after about getting hit 10 times. Armor is completely broken. It looses durability even when damage taken is to shield only.

So is this a bug or should I just not bother repairing it every time?

Armor gives you defense. Defense scales directly to the power of the attack hitting you, giving you a certain amount of damage reduction.

This changes based on - the level of the pal hitting you, the power of the attack, and their attack stat.

Each set of armor corresponds quite well to damage reduction of its associated level tier, but the primary idea of the game as the player character is not to get hit at all.

Are you playing on hard, and are you fighting pals your level or far above you? These factors make huge differences given how damage formulas work.

The armor degrades SOOOOO fast. I have been seriously thinking about just leaving it broken. Worse, if you have created upgraded armor via blueprints, it costs ancient tech parts to repair.

I have been thinking about some of the mods I have seen that extend durability or even disable it. Because armor is basically gone after one good hit from a boss.

Armour is one of the best ways to increase HP and Defense stats, But finding higher level variants of the armour is always more durable then the default version you learn on the tech tree

Yeah I keep the armor broken here. Honestly it's just an annoyance. Normal mode doesn't really need it and in hard it doesn't do enough to matter. Just happy that gear breaking doesn't drop it's weather resistance. Wish I could get the notification off my screen though.

Farm the map boss Sweepea every hour, it drops 6-8 Ancient parts
