N7 Armor: Why must one of the best looking Armor Sets be so useless?

Just like on ME2, the default N7 Armor looks ace. But Health boosting is even more worthless now with Health being segmented into small bars. Anyone else agree?

And no, I can't mod to use the Armor with other stats. *points to sig*

Meh, I've always preferred Kestrel armour..... or Rosenkov, as its called now.

Except the helmet....

I agree, but there only a couple sections on insanity in which I actually need bonuses from armor pieces to make life easier. Outside of that, I just wear whatever I think looks cool.

There were times, even on normal, when 10% HP boost from N7 helmet was the only thing preventing Shepard's death from being stuck on the wrong side of cover due to "allbutton". Which is why I never have her wear any other helmet.

I wouldn't call it useless personally. Once the shields are down it boosts how long you live till they recharge. And the boost is substantial.

The other choices just fit each class better. I personally use N7 + Kassa armor on my soldier. Shields and health. I don't really need extra damage or ammo. I get those from my weapon mods. I just need more shields and health to survive insanity ;P

I really like the Serrice Council and Hahne-Kedar armor sets. They're my favorite sets for my Adept and Soldier builds respectively.

The serrice council stuff does look good - I tend to wear Serrice shoulder plates and Rosenkov chestplate/gloves/greaves, makes for a good mix of power damage and recharge.

I did wear the mnemonic visor early on but switched back to my old Kuwashii visor, nice to have a bit of extra weapon damage.

Hahne-Kedar, though - I dunno, it looks bit more Star Wars than Mass Effect to me. Looks a bit archaic.

+10% life can be the difference between life and death, well as long as you don't get 1 shotted.

TBH the same can be said for all the armour types I mean adding 10% damage sucks when you 1 hit 70% without it and the rest take 2-3 shots with or without.

Tell me about it. I'm using the inferno armor at the moment, and it just looks horrible. But it's so much better.

You can NEVER have enough damage... at least not until the enemies spontaneously burst into flames when you walk in the room and go into convulsions when you squint at them.

Well you can't, but since combos do not scale with power damage, power damage isn't as good as you might think.

I'm still a big believer in it though. Running around with +30% from armor and +20% from squadmates.

For my Vanguard I use a mix of Kassa and Hahne-Kedar with the Sentry Visor as my helmet. This gives me (I think) +30% shields and +20% weapon damage.

Ah but dear asicus, when you play New Game + insanity with a Marksman soldier shepard with full incendiary and revenant... stuff tend to explode the moment you get out of cover ;) You also tend to explode just as fast though without defenses :( lol

Why is the N7 armor the only armor with a non-weathered finish. All the others pieces have old, battered textures. I want my Rosenkov/Kestral to be polished and shiny like the N7.

I just stick with default N7 Chestplate. Rest of the stuff depends on what class I am playing.

ME3 armor doesn't make much of a difference (as far as I can tell) in performance. I equip the stuff that looks best - like in ME2.

My FemShep envies Ash's armor though, that one looks really good.

You play solider? Collector armor
You play vanguard adept Engineer sentinel Dragon armor or Inferno armor

Imo they run kind of weird in the armor packages like Dragon and Collector. They look kind of bull legged. I just wish you could mix and match. Or at least adjust color on all of them.

Hahne-Kedar set with Capacitor Helmet and Defense Matrix as bonus power makes your character a tank and nearly unkillable short of instakills or getting nailed in between cooldowns when you can't purge DM for the instant shield restore.

What doesn't make much sense to me is, in what universe by adding extra armor pieces would it decrease your health? Why even bother finding new parts if they are going to decrease the efficency of your basic N7 armor.

The 'increased health' is just the game's way of showing you that the armour in question provides more physical protection. The other parts focus on other stuff - its not so much 'decreased efficiency' as using the same space to enhance other stats, such as extra power cells rather than heavy ablative plating.
