anti vir is kinda perfect for Eomon if i remind right… no useless spare points `?
Overprotection is not a mortal sin anymore in 2.0, true that.
However, paying extra to achieve it would make sense only in a timed dps event, where you don’t want to spend time fapping.
Migration is long enough to fap a couple times :silly2: only thing you have to worry about is avoiding dying too often.
Disclosure: this particular noob shot Longtooth Adolescent naked a few years ago, and I was barely lvl ~15 evader at that time.
With even lower evader one might need something like plain (not adj) Pixie, but that depends on your dps as well.
Thanks for the feedbacks and comments and rest assured that these recommendations are still a work in progress and I will continue to improve them for a wider range of hunting styles.
As far as overprotecting goes, I see that there is much passion on this. According to my own research on this subject I have come to the conclusion that the average healing tool costs more than 200% (sometimes more than 300%) the amount in decay for the same hp than armor does. It makes absolutely no sense now, since the changes to armor decay costs rolled out in loot 2.0 last summer, to favor healing over armor protection. To those that are lucky enough to own an Adjusted Resto chip or Mod FAP, than sure, you should continue to hunt naked and just rely on your healing tool, it is still cheaper then armor, but if like me, all you have is an average healing tool, then you would be wiser to favor sufficient armor protection over fapping, if you care about economy that is (and not everyone cares about economy).
I am not recommending that people go out and buy a set of Nemesis to hunt Adolescents, I am only showing where Nemesis would fit in if you happen to own the set already. My aim with these recommendations is to also provide a quick reference to hunters who already own several armor sets where they can see what is possible with their sets. I did make a note to the right that anyone using Nemesis to hunt Adolescents would be ‘[COLOR=“#FF0000”]overprotected’, which by the way, isn’t really a thing anymore since Loot 2.0 but I understand the argument that we should take advantage of the free health regeneration.
If a hunter was to use regular Pixie to hunt Adolescents which protects for only 9 Impact, they would end up having to heal and the Original Post does specify that the recommendations I was making were aimed to provide sufficient protection so that a hunter wouldn’t have to heal. Pixie is an unlimited armor set and within an hour, it would have decayed enough that it would only provide 8 points of Impact or less. I don’t want to repair my armor every hour when I go hunt something, I find that quite inconvenient, so for that reason, I would recommend protecting for a minimum of 11 Impact if you are going to be using unlimited gear to hunt Adolescents, so that you can hunt for 2 or 3 hours without any problem.
However, I am taking all comments and feedbacks into consideration and I will include some armor set-ups that would result in ‘[COLOR=“#FF0000”]underprotected’ for those that have high Evade skills, are hunting in a team, have a Health Regen buff, or just want to fap every once in a while to skill first aid.
I also welcome any recommendations that anyone wishes to make and will consider adding them.

I know some people pride themselves in having ‘natural’ skills, but given that you only have access to a 10heal/pec fap wouldn’t it be cheaper to not heal and use the peds saved to buy healing skills?
I guess a new player with a non sib power gun could easily participate with these armor setups. And while that may not be eco or recommended, it can surely be a lot of fun.
And fun is what you want from a game.

You forget that healing costs are also returned in loot.
And I point to you again that healing is a necessity. You will have to skill up your healing if you want to succeed long term. And overprotecting does not help in that.
The example about the pixie on adolescents, on average you will get 0~3 dmg.
So healing is just minimal. The FREE vivoS10 can more than easily handle this.
This would be a perfect combination.
And lets be honest, people who have a nemesis suit won’t need your advice anyways. If they invested in a nemesis suit already, they have far passed the stage of needing advice to hunt adolescents 
I think the only valuable info in this thread is you mentioning the dmg types and amount of dmg that these mobs do.
Based on that people can find their own armours on wikipedia, depending on their play style.
Well, yes, if this is your style, it’s ok.
But this I dont know, “is it cheaper to buy healing skills than to skill up by using a S10?” Especially now healing costs are partially returned in loot?
Alright, I have pretty much completely overhauled the first post and categorized everything to give people more choices, i.e. [COLOR=“#FF0000”]Underprotect, [COLOR=“#008000”]Balanced or [COLOR=“#FF8C00”]Overprotect.
I think there are plenty of options now for Longtooth Adolescents to Guardian which are affordable and therefore there’s really no reason to show combinations of armor+plate using Pulsar 5 or Pulsar 10, which are very expensive, so I won’t show any of those.
I still have a lot of work to do on the 2nd post, just consider that a rough draft for now. I should have it finalized within the next couple of days.

Why?
Hes account is from 2006. There is so much information about EU around, that you could write 50 volume encyclopedia and yet you still make such posts. He is giving bad advice.
If he has not learned anything in that time, you think any of my input would help?
yes, and I totally agree with you.
i think most of the info here is not relevant.
It would not have been my setup either.
All the info is already widely available.
But the idea behind it, trying to help people out is good.
But to just piss on somebody taking all this effort is not very nice.
I mean, if you have critics about it, post it, but try to be constructive instead of just pissing on him.
I know that’s not always your style :laugh:
Spent a few hours today going through the armor set-ups possible for hunting Longtooth Dominant and Alpha, as well as the set-ups for hunting Longtooth Old Alpha & Prowler.
I’ll work on the armor set-ups for hunting Stalkers tomorrow morning.

Effort is nice, but why put an effort into bad advice? :ahh:
I have about 80 graduates in game and so many came over from inactive/noobish mentors. They are shooting stuff with nonSIB lvl100, because mentor told so. There is so much bad advice and noobs around, that it really angers me that someone from 2006 can still post such bs on forums.
I hope future effort goes into fixing these suggestions, so people could actually get helpful information.
In another thread the op is selling the armors he recommends here…

Recommended Armor set ups for hunting Longtooth Stalkers are up. It’s all I have time for today. I’m hoping to start cleaning up the redundancies tomorrow so it’s a bit easier to consult as a reference. More improvements to come, I’m not done with this yet!

Bump - Note that Eomon damage types have been changed slightly 2 years ago. So the Eomon armor recommendations are no longer reliable.
Even if wiki is correct with 35/65 stab/imp instead of the old 50/50 the incision plates 21/4/4 stab/impcut are still a good option depending on armour/maturity. I’ve been using them on my ghoul (14stab/25imp/15cut) for a while now to even up the stats instead of putting more protection into impact as 5b does.
