I believe balancing shield and armor does not lie in the widening of 'anti armor' and 'anti shield' as most of the already existing weaponry is anti armor or hybrid.
What we need to do is change speed penalty on dropsuit plates to stamina penalty, and give us plasma explosives. But as for the weaponry, since ar is a rifle spewing cans of plasma, and not just simple bullets or bolts of light, then it needs to be placed properly under galente weaponry and have poor range. And then i might allow a dps buff. But as it is right now, ar is cream of the crop, ultimate range, ultimate diversity (cqc rifle with sniping abilities or a rapid fire sniper) and ultimate versatlity ( out damages shotgun, out ranges scrambler rifle, and out damages hmg)
as said up above how about changing the regular grenades to plasma equal dmg to shields and armor that way both shield and armor tanks can qq about the same crap
std 200
adv 400
pro 600
that way at std it cant kill adv or proto in one shot and for the love of god just removed the contact grenades and make them sticky instead. |

I could get behind this.
Heck, even making grenades shrapnel (-10% shields/+10% armor) instead of explosive would be better. |

No.
It removes diversity and customization. I *LIKE* that there is conflicting interest/goals of flux vs. locus vs. AV grenades.
I *LIKE* the future potential of a 'grenadier' class (years down the road, let's be honest) that has 2x grenade slots and 2x equipment slots and nothing but a sidearm.
I *LIKE* that my speedy proto fit can tank an M1 and keep on truckin but that a standard flux leaves me flappin' in the wind three AR rounds from death.
Any move toward "sameness" is detrimental to the game and undermines the little bit of uniqueness that it has. |

Or maybe laser grenades of some sort. Amarr is the only race that doesn't have grenades yet.
Locus Grenades are Minmatar
AV Grenades are Caldari
Flux Grenades are Gallente
Considering each grenade mentioned above has a completely different function, the Amarr grenade would also have to fill its own role. I'm not a fan of flash grenades, but perhaps that. Or maybe a webifier grenade. Perhaps a grenade that actually provides a buff to friendlies in the splash radius? Tons of possibilities for more grenade diversity. |

Amarr grenades home in on Minmatar suits, ignore Gallente and Caldari, and goes to Sunday Mass with the Amarrian suits. |
