Strill Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 The IC2 wiki lists the damage reduction for each piece of Quantum armor, but I can't find anything similar for Gem armor. Basically I wanna know if it's possible to combine certain pieces of quantum and gem armor and still have 100% protection. Quote
hobby_boy Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Gem armour offers you 100% protection. You can drown, die in lava and you are resistant to any damage you can get. If you press G, you'll also have jet pack style flying. Quote
Strill Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 Everything I've read says that gem armor gives 90% damage reduction for the full set. Quote
DanielJin Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Red matter armor gives you 90%, in that sence gem armor should give you pretty much 100% Quote
Torezu Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Everything I've read says that gem armor gives 90% damage reduction for the full set. This is correct. The armor protection for quantum comes from the chest plate, though the helmet does quite a bit of other things. Quote
Strill Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 This is correct. The armor protection for quantum comes from the chest plate, though the helmet does quite a bit of other things. Huh? I don't understand. On this page of the IC2 wiki, it lists the damage reduction for each piece of quantum armor, but you say it all comes from the chest plate? Armor Piece Protection Ratio (%) Helmet 15% Bodyarmor 44% Leggings 30% Boots 15% Is it not possible to mix Quantum and gem armor without losing your invincibility? Quote
Torezu Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 On this page of the IC2 wiki, it lists the damage reduction for each piece of quantum armor... I was unaware of this, as I have never worn anything but a full suit of Quantum once I can get it. Reading the wiki, perhaps that's why many servers ban the quantum chestplate only, is because it is the determining factor in damage reduction. Quote
Strill Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 Ok I tested it out in survival mode with NEI. With a quantum chest and gem armor I was able to withstand a nuke blast from four or five blocks, and took about 6.5 hearts of damage. It's certainly less than full quantum armor, but pretty close to invulnerability. Quote
atheneftw Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 quantum armor doesnt take dmg from anything. gem armor takes damage from tnt, nukes and infernal plate explosion Quote
