I like the idea, but I don't think armor should get a buff until there are ARs that can punch armor. After all, the two ARs we have now are shield busters.

there is a reason you have 23 likes. Look around at other weapons. There are plenty of them that destroy armor. If you need an AR use your freaking grenades. They do something like 150% right now.

Back to OP. Im thinking resistance plates. But more than 25%. Maybe proto is around 35%. Or plates need a numbers buff

Maybe I have 23 likes because I have less than 100 posts on this forum.

Anyone that requests something to make it easier to kill armor dropsuits is obviously a troll or noob. Which are you?

Proper counter? Sniper rifles mass drivers grenades missiles any damn vehicle explosion forge guns smg's. theres your mother kittening counters. Enough 'ar or die you specialist newbs', bad enough that gallente gets rapid fire sniper rifles, why don't we give em a blast radius as well? Plasma explodes! (Obvious troll i swear ccp you do that and i will walk away)

"Let's cop out the new guy!"

Notice I said buff armor when we get anti-armor rifles? I want a level playing field. Armor is dumb right now, but buffing it without the proper counter is bad design.

I would like some sort of high slot module that increased the armor capibilites of my suit just as the shield regulator is a low slot module that increases the shield capibilites of the suit.

Some ideas:

-Module that helps negate movement penalty of plates (similar to the ferroscale exploit, except a legit way to do it)
-Explosive resistance module (or just a resistance module in general)
-Module that increases armor repair by % instead of a value

Thoughts? Other ideas?

Resistance plates would be great but CCP have previously said that they don't like the idea of them because you wouldn't be able to tell who has them and thus 'choose your battles'. You'd just be shooting at someone thinking the game's broken because your bullets are doing barely any damage. The devs have a point.

As for Martin Kirby's comments - we don't need a special rifle to counter armour because there are so many other weapons that are already countering armour. Besides ARs still do pretty good damage to armour - it's not like it reduces to 50% or something.

By that logic damage mods and the profiency skill can give the impression that certain weapons are OP.

It's 90% and 80% for scrambler rifles. And 10% is quite a bit considering complex damage mods do that much. I do notice I use much more ammo against Gallente suits than Caldari.

None of the anti-armor weapons we have now are mid range. They're all short besides the sniper.

A module that increases the rate of repair would be comparable to regulators.

Well than give us splash weapons against shields. You realise that nearly all anti armor weapons are area of effect weapons? So its even easier to kill armor. And there are alsready anti armor rifles(smg and hmg)...

BTW

To all of you guys saying resistance should be a good idea, I only want EXPLOSIVE resistance. Weapon resistance in general towards a specific type of health (armor or shield) is a stupid idea.

But yes, if we are able to increase our damage dealt with damage mods, we should be able to decrease our damage taken with resistance mods.

That's a pretty big number... That would basically give armor 35% more health per module. And that would be less then desirable for balance.

An Armor Rep amp?Absolutely.

Plate penalty reducer? I think it would be better as a skill, but ok.

Straight resistance? Hmmm...

Explosive resistance plate? Good.
