Darth Sun_Tzu Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 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?

Darth_Lord_Ibbe Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 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? You've been Ibb'd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sun_Tzu Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 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 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 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. Нека Силата винаги бъде с теб!

Mellypie Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 It generally ends up being used by my character or Bao-Dur. "They might not call you a Jedi anymore, but believe me, you are.

DarkAngle Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 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. (Marine Axiom) Sweat Dries Blood Clots Bones Heal SUCK IT UP!

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 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?

Dyan Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 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. HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master. It is suggested that you run while my blasters warm, meatbags. Bastila to Revan: You are easily the vainest, most arrogant man I have ever met! Canderous to Bastila: Insults?

LadyCrimson Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 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. “Things are as they are.

DAWUSS Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 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) DAWUSS Dawes ain't too bright.

hawk Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 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. Master Vandar lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepixiesrock Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 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 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 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 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 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. "Learn to harness your anger and control your fear. Dominate your emotions! But do not let them overcome you; for they can surely cause you to fall to the dark side.

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.
