CharCharOdell 1718	Posted - 2013.12.02 21:35:00 - [1] - Quote Maybe back when armor was garbage, it made sense, but now a basic armor plate is more protective than a basic extender. The tradeoff is passive shield regen. With this in mind, their costs need to be equalized because its putting MN and CA at a disadvantage.

THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD Public Disorder. 350	Posted - 2013.12.02 21:40:00 - [2] - Quote Meh. On my cheaper armor builds I have to actually dual tank so I have shields to give me a buffer for my armor to come back. Shield tankers seem to completely forget how long it takes to rep 500 armor at 3 hp/s(Almost three minutes) not everyone can afford to run 30K ISK rep hives 24/7. Just cut the PG cost from 3 to 2 while leaving the CPU. ZionTCD Director & Ammar Loyalist Amarr Sentinel \| Amarr Logi \| *Losematar* Scout What is a signature?

Just cut the PG cost from 3 to 2 while leaving the CPU. there are cheaper rep hives... Compact hives - One use, and if you use them you can't have ammo, and they disappear quickly. Advanced armor rep hives - They cost more CPU/PG than a normal proto hive, pretty difficult to fit on non proto suits. They also rep like 15hp/s and have an awful ammo resupply rate. Allotek Hive - The first decent armor repping hive, expensive though and costs a crap load of CPU/PG. Triage Hive - Costs EVEN MORE CPU/PG, and you can't use ammo. So basically, Allotek hives are the only decent one, and you can only fit those on proto suits. And when I do fit those on proto suits, I have awfully low amounts of armor because I can't fit more. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 5694	Posted - 2013.12.02 22:02:00 - [8] - Quote I'd rather see the scaling on shield extenders be similar to the scaling on armour. I quite like the scaling on armour - it's worth running the low tier modules. Something like 44/55/66. Level 5 Forum Warrior Lenin of the glorious armoured revolution Supporter of CCP raRaRa.

Mejt0 Made in Poland... 62	Posted - 2013.12.02 22:56:00 - [11] - Quote I play as shield tanker. Its BAD. Regen you say? Why regen if you dont have time for it? Duvolle few rounds youre off. Imperial sr 3shoots youre off. Armor you have +5from logi and another +6.25from compx armor rep + proto triage hives. If you want you can fit another 600armor + proto gun. Hey you have egnouth cpu/pg for this ,easly :]. (armor wins, even cal assault more and more wield basic armor plates)

Komodo Jones Chaotik Serenity 241	Posted - 2013.12.03 00:09:00 - [16] - Quote modules just need a shift, someone pointed out that it really didn't make sense for shields to be in the same slot as damage mods, shield tankers are skirmishers and armor tankers are long term fighters, why should anyone have a crapload of health and tons of damage? Though if they just changed damage mods to a low slot that would make the cal-logi a huge fit of the month again lol. They also just need to reduce gun damage across the board so it would actually be sensible to use something other than just armor tanking damage dealers just to survive. But yeah I agree, shield extenders need some work, a basic one doesn't give you enough hp to ward off 1 shot from any gun except an hmg lol, what's the point of that?

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 1545	Posted - 2013.12.03 04:06:00 - [27] - Quote A basic armor plate is more productive than a complex shield extender. And without good reps, high HP won't mean jack $#!t. Even with 500 armor. Especially when I see Caldari suits running around with 500HP of shields, with a 20-30HP/s shield regen and a quick delay.

Cody Sietz Unkn0wn Killers Renegade Alliance 1681	Posted - 2013.12.03 04:24:00 - [28] - Quote I don't really fit basic plates on a proto suit unless I'm really lacking on the CPU/PG(usually when I try to fit a advanced dmg on my suit. I can usually run 2 complex plates and 1 complex/enhanced rep combo getting me 10 repair a sec and around 550 armour. On that same fit, I can get a proto AR, 1 complex dmg mod, 1 enhanced dmg mod, 1 basic shield extender and a std nanohive. Oh and a M1+toxic dmg. 720 ehp and 10 reps a sec. That's not bad, not as good as a Logo but still not bad. Of course this is with max skills in CPU/PG reduction ect. How can you guys do with a proto caldari suit?
