Armas Line vs. Storm Line?

[Billy Mitchell]

Is a low percentage armas line better than a high percentage storm line in terms of damage received?

[DPShiro]

i dont know about the dmg, someone good with numbers will have to calculate that, but if you are running a master class, that +4 STA is very helpful.
and all the others hidden stat boosts is great too

i have a rainbow of 20-22% armas and never have a problem soloing any mission, but then again, people with neutrals do that too

Higher % will always receive less damage. The only point to Armas is the +4 end, you'll have to ask yourself if that alone is worth paying 10 times as much for.

Higher % will always receive less damage.

Not true.

I think so, but I don't generally switch my armors religiously to counter enemy elements. Scoff if you like but the element is usually whatever looks best with my characters attire.

Not true.

Yes, it is true.

You ask a dumb question like what armor is better, then someone tells you the correct answer and you reply it's not true?

30%stormline > 32% gigaline.

Go fuck yourself.

The question is, at what point does that switch.

A high percent Storm line(32%+) will make you recieve less damage then a low percent Armas line(10%~25%). Its sorta obvious...lol

First of all, we aren't talking about storm line vs gigaline. We are talking about a low % armas vs. high % storm line.

But even a 32% gigaline will protect you better than a 30% storm line. Stormline only has 57 more dfp than gigaline. 5 DFP will take away 1 point of damage. Just off DFP alone, the stormline is taking away 11 points of damage. So if you're taking 1000 hits of damage, 2% is 20 points. In this case it's pretty much identical damage taken, but the higher % wins.
