Atrax skilling with LB’s in Nem (3 full Valors)= 15 ped decay vs. 25-30 ped pre-VU
Atrax skilling with LB’s in Jag harness, thighs, shins+Nem (3 full Valors) = 10 ped decay vs. 35-40 ped pre-VU
Jag offers better overall protection and has higher durability. Only problem is that it’s hard to compare as Jag will decay when absorbing damage that Nem can’t (acid, etc.). This is nice when running into the occasional odd mob that doesn’t do cut, stab, impact so the only problem lies in direct comparison between the two armors as practical test results might get dilluted.
I concider Jaguar an awesome armor, just too bad it’s damn hard to get hold of arms, helmet and gloves. Replace with Tiger parts and you’re good to go.
P.s.: when I used 5A’s for a brief period pre-VU Jaguar offered excellent protection against e.g. Daik Stalkers. No problem in tanking them, though durability is a bit less on the plates than the Jag
