Beren Hurin Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 1835	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:29:00 - [1] - Quote The two new added weapons are anti-armor rifles. Until now, both kinds of rifles being fielded have been inherently armor biased. Armor HP is going to feel thinner when it goes up against both new versions. The opposite is true. The combat rifle and rail rifle will have a harder time killing shield players than armor players. That is all. Carry on with QQ...
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 8324	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:30:00 - [2] - Quote Plus all modules should have a stacking penalty, and we also don't know how much of a delay it's going to add per module Win ISK / Vids / O7
Jadd Hatchen Psygod9 D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 128	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:35:00 - [3] - Quote These two guys have it right. And to top it all off, there is a low slot shield module that reduces recharge delay so you can counter this nerf anyways. Show me where the armor tanking guys get to have a high slot item that helps their armor out?
Zero Notion Wraith Company 368	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:36:00 - [4] - Quote Your first mistake is assuming anyone even uses shields. Damage mods all the way.

Edit: Speed tanking isn't the way to go on an Assault. Not with the current battlefield tactics and mechanics. It's more viable in city maps but they seem to come up rarely and we're playing on sprawling maps. You're going to be useful for getting to point to point but you're just going to die a lot.

Also don't forget both the Rail Rifle and Combat Rifle are meant more non-CQC battles but probably work somewhat effective in CQC. With my AR, I can't reach you well from a distance but with Rail Rifle and Combat Rifle, you can hit me hard from a distance and add that with the fact that you don't have to charge(although a slight delay for Rail Rifles) like the normal Scrambler Rifle.

Show me where the armor tanking guys get to have a high slot item that helps their armor out? damage mods, my enemies have 30% less time to fire at me thus my armor lasts longer. triage hives in the equipment slots boosting my effective hp by the 100's as long as i can fight inside them. no flux grenades instantly removing my tank.

Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 2169	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:44:00 - [17] - Quote This is mainly a reduction to the effectiveness of hybrid tankers. It's actually a smart move by CCP. There were probably only a couple of paths they could've taken to weaken brick tankers and this is one of them that doesn't actually ruin everything else. And I know light frame shield tankers may appear to be shafted in this, but personally I play hit and run anyway, and the run part usually involves running to the other side of the map so I get ample time for shield regeneration. And usually when I'm caught, I die too fast for shield recharge delay to matter. Furthermore, as a logibro I'm rejoicing. Your shields take longer to recharge, you say? Why, that means you are taking damage for my repair tool to repair! "When nothing is going your way, go out of your way to do nothing."

Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 1894	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:48:00 - [21] - Quote Other suits might not feel this but Minmatar suits are greatly affected by how crappy shield tanking is currently. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.
Thor Odinson42 Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 2142	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:51:00 - [22] - Quote Weapons just deal damage now. The TTK is so low it doesn't matter. You can wipe out a heavy with 1100 armor in a few trigger pulls of a SCR. You can wipe out a Caldari shield tanker with a MD and no flux. You are honestly a ******* idiot if you think shields and armor and even in the same galaxy of balance right now. Remove time in battle from ISK payout formula and provide a bonus to winning team... Watch battles become fun again.
THEAMAZING POTHEAD Nyain San Renegade Alliance 612	Posted - 2013.12.04 19:55:00 - [23] - Quote by that logic shields are better against mass drivers. reality? THEY AREN'T. The low maximum pool of shields lets a powerful MD rip through the max medium suit shields of 580 and max heavy suit shields of 700 in 4 shots, whereas the max armor tanks take 4 shots for mediums to about 8 depending on the amount of tank they decide on., 700-900 armor for mediums and the 500-700shields & 500-1300armor heavys can take as much as 12 shots. So ya even against a MASS DRIVER ARMOR SUITS ARE BETTER. The shield pool is just too damn small, its UP and even less useful against the weapons it resists because of that. Add in the low TTK, and the fact that it makes regen MUCH LESS important(borderline useless during engagements), and you get to where we are now.

You are honestly a ******* idiot if you think shields and armor and even in the same galaxy of balance right now. Not sure you are being clear here Thor... You want weapons to do something other than damage? SCR needs to charge or get headshots for 'a few trigger pulls' to get a really low TTK, and then you have to include the charge time, which when you do makes the TTK and skill relationship not completely objectionable. And could you share how you get some kind of rediculously low TTK with an MD against a non-idiot-fitting caldari setup without headshotting them (or using their formerly broken mechanic to quickfire?)

Your two main shield tankers until now haven't had the best tools for their suits. Caldari will now have the higher buffer with a longer range weapon (ofc you can use whatever weapon you want) But you'll be able to easily pin down MD users at a range that only pros could capitalize on. And you'd have to be pretty stupid to die to an MD consistantly at 70m. Minmatar should not be incredibly easy to kill with a mass driver because of their speed. I believe a minmatar squad/assault shouldn't lock down an area and defend it. THey don't have the buffer. Rather, they secure THEN exploit a more tactical area, diving in and out of the most advantageous positions with the most versitile weapons in the game.

You can say adapt all you want, but if the options are there then you're just blowing hot air. I already dual tank my Min Assault, but now I can't even do that. One of my low slots now has to be a Regulator, leaving me with only one low slot open to anything. Since my shields CAN'T be my only source of tank, then that second low slot isn't open, it has to be armor. Yep, SO VERSITILE, LOOK AT ALL OF MY OPTIONS!!

He is mad that his AREA DENIAL weapon can't go toe to toe with direct damage weapons anymore It takes 1/4 of my gun's entire ammo to kill one person. This is with 2 million SP invested. I can do better with an Exile and 0 SP just by rapidly tapping R1 with aim assist on. Seen any treads about MDs lately? That means people aren't getting killed by them.

howard sanchez Sanchez Cartage llc 818	Posted - 2013.12.04 21:14:00 - [30] - Quote To add one other thought, the common Assault suit bonus of increased shield recharge/level has now gained a bit of value due to the shiel extender nerf ( no more combat logi brick fits )
