Kasote Denzara A Vulture 450	Posted - 2013.10.16 06:50:00 - [2] - Quote It depends on the math, but it is generally worth it. 25% of 100 is 25, so you'll have 125. 25% of 500 is 125, so you'll have 625. These are just examples.

Doc Noah Algintal Core Gallente Federation 651	Posted - 2013.10.16 07:13:00 - [6] - Quote Gonna have to max both eventually, I recommend on whatever your suit has more slots of. More low slots = armor, more high = shields. I didnt max out my gallente's shield upgrade until I had everything else maxed out or near max since every shield upgrade only gave me like 5 eHP while armor gave me 10+ just on base stats alone.

The bonus is applied before armor plates and shield extenders, so the health it gives depends on your BASE health. So, if you're suit naturally has 180 armor, each rank is worth 9 points of armor. The reason why I say that it's more useful starting out (although it's always very useful) is for this reason. As you move up in gear, more and more of your health comes from plates and extenders, so the percentage of your total health the bonus makes up starts to be less. I recommend only raising them to 3, at first. In fact, I recommend raising skills to only level 3 when starting out period. When you've got nothing, several skills with two to three levels are better than one with five. For example, let's say you have a basic Heavy suit, which starts with about 400/400 HP. With Core Armor 3 and Core Shields 3. 400 * 1.15 + 400 * 1.15 = 920. With Core Armor 5. 400 * 1.25 + 400 = 900.

These are just examples. This is incorrect. The bonus applies to the empty dropsuit's HP. For example, every level of Shield Upgrades gives you +10.5 (5% of 210) shield points on a Caldari suit. That amount is unvariable. Doing the maths, you get 52 HP for upgrading your Shield Upgrades to Lv5 on a Caldari suit. That's like running some sort of cool Shield Extender that doesn't cost PG or CPU. The same goes for Armor Upgrades on a Gallente suit.
I-Shayz-I Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 1090	Posted - 2013.10.16 09:23:00 - [20] - Quote If you ever have questions about Minmatar logi just send me a PM in-game. These skills are the last things you need as a logi...this is because logi dropsuits have the least amount of health. The only reason I have mine at level 4 is because my secondary role is a heavy. If anything, don't skill into shield upgrades past level 2, and armor upgrades past level 3 (minmatar logi has more armor). At least, not until you have gotten everything else that you need. Trust me, I want to say you get like 5 shield per level and 6-8 armor. It's just not worth it.

Trust me, I want to say you get like 5 shield per level and 6-8 armor. It's just not worth it. For me, it was worth going for them with my STD Amarr logi with two sets of plates and an extender. I usually survive Thale shots with as little as 4 armor and Charge Sniper shots with as little as 30. Actually, I survive a large amount of firefights with under 20 armor, no joke. I went 17 kills, 11 assists and 0 deaths recently. I was ten health from death probably five times or more against Heavies and Snipers. Of course, that's unusual I suppose.

Lol what are you talking about man? 1st: these skills help you with every suit you are using. 2nd: WTH you mean with this: Quote: Trust me, I want to say you get like 5 shield per level and 6-8 armor. It's just not worth it. Heyheyhey! Are you talking about Armor Plating and Shield Extension? Because those come after the Shield and Armor Upgrades
