hmm ....
Yes .. so ... with armour tanking and damage mods in the high slots being FoTM you decide to nerf shield extenders ....
Seriously that logic is just fantastic
Complex shield regulators give a 25% reduction compared to enhanced giving 20% and basic giving 10% ... surely you should have increased the effects of regulators to 10% 25 % and 45%
Seeing as 1 basic armour plate gives more hp than a complex shield extender with only a 5% reduction in movement speed to add this penalty for equipping shield extenders is funny as hell

It's only the depleted delay. I doubt it'll be that major unless you brick tank, in which case I suppose you might notice it on occasion when you nearly die.

It's quite honestly the dumbest nerf to date. Not necessarily dramatic or even remotely game changing because shields are worthless now to begin with, but WTF????
They could boost the complex regulator to 85% and shields would still suck. It's just not enough HP to matter at the moment.
Remove time in battle from ISK payout formula and provide a bonus to winning team... Watch battles become fun again.

Or... if you're a Minmatar.

The whole point of extenders is that they give you less eHP because you don;t get a stacking penalty ... if they give you a stacking penalty that increases how long it takes for them to recharge your better off armour tanking and using complex damage mods instead
Actually in EVE online shield extenders are penalized by creating a larger signature radius and thus making the ship easier to hit and increases the amount of damage that they take.
Maybe that would have been a better drawback for shield extenders... larger signature radius so scanners pretty much find you all the time, even if you are scout.

But it's pivotal for shield tanking ... shields don't regenerate any other way unlike armour that can be repped via another player or a rep hive
This really is the death of the shield tank
I think I'll turn my cal logi into an armour tanked suit with damage mods in the highs .. it seems to be the only way to go

It's not the FoTM. Caldari suits are still the most common suits in PC.
You know why? Because they are superior, even after the armor buff, that's why.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Mostly because of how strong logi suits are.
And 'the death of the shield tank'? Don't be so melodramatic. Once upon a time armour tankers had it much worse, and people still armour tanked.

Probably an oversight that it only affects depleted delay. They'll hot fix this while everyone still mashes their AR trigger with 0 recoil until 2019.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

Have you seen many people just shield tanking lately ?
It's all brick tanks and armour tanks
