JLouDTK Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 At first I was gonna do Armormech, but now I'm debating whether or not I should do Cybertech instead. I found that making mod's to be placed into my armor or pistols could be rather useful..or would building armor as a whole be better? Do you get to make any cool looking armor for BH as Armormech or are you better off looting your armor or getting it through quests? My main reason for going with Armormech is because I'm guessing that we can make pretty cool armor sets for the BH when you get good at the craft, but if the armor you make isn't that good, I think I might as well go with Cybertech. Also, Cybertech seems like it can be more versatile then Armormech as well as more profitable since I'm guessing mods will be very useful and at high demand especially during end game. With Cybertech, I will be able to make mods for both my pistols and armor, whereas Armormech I'm stuck to only making armor for defense, not improving my offensive with my pistol. Need your guy's inputs and opinions! I appreciate it. BTW, Underworld Trading goes well with both these crafting skills right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiety Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I find Armortech to be amazing its an easy way to keep all your gear up to par or above it. Some people dont take the time to farm PvP for their sets or get lucky epic drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elelr Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Granted I haven't got that far in-game yet, but just go with whatever you like. At the end of the day, each one can benefit you and you'll be without the others, resorting you to buy/loot those items. I've gone for Armstech myself.

Earley Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I did Armor all through beta and it was really really useful most of the time. But for launch I decided on a whim to go Biotech just to do something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxalar Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 So far im lvl 33 w/ cybertech at 300. Im making epic armor enhancements andmods for each level and im still in gear I got from jutta *blaster-kept up to date through commendation barrels * a head from balmorra, legs from balmorra and chest+gloves from tat and so far my gear has almost always been netter then even epics I see. I love cybertech but arms+armormech have their place. Held that I can make high quality ear pieces too. Just figured id put that out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoiferFett Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Agreed with the above poster. Cybertech is great due to the fact that you can mod yourself with the same armour all day. Not to mention the ear slot items are soo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shohrahn Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Reading how neat Cybertech is I really regret having picked Armormech It seems there are no real benefits in either Armstech or Armormech, or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJohnnyFever Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Im doing armortech on my PT but it seems like the best answer is to get both going at once....armortech on my main and cybertech on an alt. Both are going to be critical to keeping my characters well equipped as well as making some credits on the marketplace... DJF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shohrahn Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 But if you can just keep modding early-gained armor you find visually appealing, and thereby actually make it superior to purples, blues, and greens, then I just do not see the benefit of using materials and time crafting armor or weapons. My armormech is currently lvl 130 and after reading this thread I am very much considering deleting my armormech crew-skill and starting all over with cybertech. I need some advice please... I already did the same with Underworld trading, taking slicing instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cybertech stuff could be a serious $$ maker mid-end game if you play with the AH. As of now both have been a toss up for me. I've gotten drops that make both less useful to me.

You can mod epic items also, but you only get 2 moddable slots instead of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uzirael Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I gotta say cybertech. I've taken the social dress you're able to buy, and I constantly mod it, and it's persistently above gear I find, stat-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattymcfatty Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I was Armormech for beta but I'm Cybertech for live. Armortech was more immediately gratifying (building decent upgrades for my armor right off the bat), but Cybertech seems to be more geared for endgame with rare ship upgrades, item modifications for all that RP gear you want to play in, and also a custom-built speeder bike that I'm still farming some underworld metals for. So my vote would be cybertech, also it seems like most bounty hunters went armsmech and armormech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torothin Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 What other 2 skills bets compliment cyber tech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badalchemist Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 What other 2 skills bets compliment cyber tech? Scavenging gets you the base metals/compounds you need. Underworld Trading gets you the rare/epic mats you need for rare/epic items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacity Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 You dont tend to see a great deal of slotted gear until 30+. Personally, I've found armormech invaluable while levelling because it lets me save my commendations for weapons/shields/implants - and the server I play on has an extremely low population on the imperial side so there's literally no gear to buy from the GTN. Cybertech is definitely more useful at endgame, where a lot of the gear allows for mods/upgrades, but I still dont think it fits a bounty hunter all that well. Aside from earpieces and upgrades, cybertech focuses on making melee weapons and droid parts - neither of which is much use to a bounty hunter, as we have no droid companions and our melee companions are probably the least used out of the lot. I'll be taking cybertech on my imperial agent, though - can always make myself mods at endgame and send them to my bounty hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesumPossum Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've been leveling Cybertech but thought about switching to armormech and after reading this thread I get the vibe Cybertech is the way to go. Plus im making grenades now which is sweet lol. I have a question about Underworld Trading. I've been getting a lot of schematics for Sithweaving, do we get Cybertech schematics from UT?

Hythrel Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 As far as I can see it (pls correct me if I´m wrong) and referring to another MMO game, I see Cybertech as JewelCrafting, and Amor as Blacksmithing (pretty obvious idd). I myself decided to go Armor with Scavenging and UT. Most probably I´ll make another BH alt (Merc) and go Cybertech/slicing and maybe bioanalisys to sell it in the Auction House (sorry still not used to the right name of it). And ofc I rly belive, and many others might agree with me, that Cybertech will b the money maker proffesion and maybe Biochem also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
