The Exile's Armband

[Darth Sun_Tzu]

What's up with that armband? Not much of a bonus, only +1. You are a War Veteran, shouldn't your armband be better. Also don't you think it would be better it the bonus it gave was appropriate to you class. For Example:

 

Guardian Con +2

Sentinal Int +2

Consular Wis +2

 

What do you guys think?

[CoM_Solaufein]

A +1 bonus is a +1 bonus.

[Darth_Lord_Ibbe]

Hehe, I always use that armband. Hey, it's my armband. Maybe it's very important to me. Maybe my Master gave it to me during my training.

 

Who knows?

[Darth Sun_Tzu]

I mostly play consular and i would find it alot more useful if it gave either a wisdom or charisma boost, instead of a constitution boost.

[Bulgarian Jedi]

It i not so bad if you have an odd number for the Constitution attribute.

 

Darth Sun_Tzu's suggestion isn't bad but the +2 Int bonus for Sentinels seems even more useless than the 1 Con. If it was +2 Dex things would be okay.

[GhostofAnakin]

I wore it because it had my name on it. :">

 

I didn't even care what bonuses it gave me.

I hang on to it, and have Bao-Dur break it down late, I get a decent amount of components from it, so it's useful in some way.

[DAWUSS]

I let Atton wear it

[Mellypie]

It generally ends up being used by my character or Bao-Dur.

[DarkAngle]

I use it 'cause it's there, and at the start you need all the help you can get. Yeah, its a little weak, and if I can make echani sheilds then I trash it and wear two of those.

It made me feel special with my name on it.

[SteveThaiBinh]

I wear it until it feels like the bonuses from other items are overpowering its little +1 CON. The idea of having it upgrade itself like your personal crystal would be in keeping with the game's general approach to levels and attributes, but do we really need another super-powerful item in the game?

More uber powerful items the better.

[Dyan]

I like the armband... I don't even bother with shields. I don't think I've ever had to use one in the game. (Even on Peragus).

 

+1 con is okay I guess, not particually useful but not useless either. Who cares? It's mine.

Yes.

[LadyCrimson]

I also put it on Atton, since he's a scrawny guy who could use all the CON help he could get. There weren't too many items that went into that slot so I figured I may as well use it. I didn't need 2 Echani shields worn at a time.

Yes hes does need it doesn't. That fight against the 2 twealeks (sp?) can be a little tough unless you have made him a jedi.

[DAWUSS]

Not unless you either mine the place up or run to a glitch spot where they just stare as Atton pops them both (they don't chase very well)

[Kalfear]

Ive always thought the Armband should go up in power as you level, just like the special lightsabre crystal

That maybe a little over the top to have 2 items that increase but you could find special upgrades.

[hawk]

I'll use it on anyone if he/she has an uneven number in Constitution.

It is however frustrating that if you have for example a 'base' Constitution of 17 bringing it up to 18 with the Armband, that you still cannot put in those "Required Constitution: 18 Implants". Same goes for the +3 Constitution bonus for LS Mastery Jedi Sentinels.

[thepixiesrock]

I always leave my constitution at base level, and putting the armband on doesn't actually help me at all, so I just wear it because it has my name on it.

[Petay]

I only ever really wear it at the beginning of the game, when you receive it, the bonus's aren't really good enough to warrant a wear for the rest of the game, since I always find new, better things to wear later on.

[Jedi Master Dakari]

I wore it because it had my name on it. :">

 

 

I used it for that same reason, too! And it's even better if you put your PC name as "Master Name-Here" So when you read the armband description it will same, "Belonged to the Jedi Master Name-Here.

 

Kinda adds a little kick to it.

You sir, deserve a cookie! Unfortunately I don't have one.

 

 

I think people care too much about the bonuses.

 

I mean...really....do we need any MORE help defeating the bad guys? The game isn't exactly hard.
