    Everybody says that modable gear can be used throughout leveling but although it is modable you still end up loosing a LOT of armor (compared to higher level gear). Can this really be ignored?!

    You don't lose armor (compared to higher level gear).

    The "Armoring" mod has an Armor Rating stat on it. This rating is used (with a multiplier) to determine the armor value of the item with the mod inside it.

    Blue piece non-moddable with Armor Rating 44, Heavy Armor = 254 armor
    Orange piece, moddable, with Armoring Mod having Armor Rating 44, Heavy Armor = 254 armor

    On a side note, the orange piece, without the armoring mod, will display a *base* armor rating and armor value. However, the base rating is overwritten completely when the Armoring Mod is installed. (they do NOT add together).

    While this may be true, not everyone is faming nightmare mode, or even normal mode. Not to mention, with the next patch we'll be able to take mods, including Armor and Hilt and Armor mod will carry the set bonus, out of Rakata gear to put it in whatever we like. For those unaware, the Armor/Hilt mod control the level of the item as well as the Armor and Damage levels. If you put a Rakata level Armor/Hilt in an Orange peice of gear, stat-wise that orange peice will be Rakata Level, with the Set Bonus. Some people do care about looks and are getting the gear ready now so when the patch hits they can look how they want. Thanks to the OP for posting this so anyone that wants to do this can find the info now.
