Because Minmatar assaults and scouts are doing a lot of brick tanking.

Dual specced Minnie Assault mk.0 and Scout mk.0.

Mmmm... Scout HP recharge is 10hp more than assault. Deplete is around 4 seconds. Seems fast but to put things in perspective... I have less than 350 hp total. Fully tanked.

Which is why I think they need a reduced base recharge delay. Don't scouts already HAVE that? I thought that was one of their (few) bonuses? Was talking more about Minmatar assaults. However, scouts will need it too, just less so. (Because of the way % work)
If minnie assaults had 3 lows it wouldn't be bad.
But we don't.

And yeah I agree this is ultimately a good think as right now all Dust 514 consists of is brick tanking. Penalizing only makes other combinations more viable. Plus it is only for the depleted shield delay, not normal shield delay. If you are going to stack extra shield, try not to get depleted.
As a shield tanker I spend more time depleted, in armor and hiding than with full shields in combat. If I'm seen I'm dead. This is the case with both my assault and my scout.
Saying "try not to get depleted" is easy enough but shields go down way too fast. 2 bullets per complex extender on top of a base 10 second deplete delay on my assault. Sorry but I'm dead in a second even with my highs filled with extenders. My scout suit has 80 armor and less than 300 shields.
All of these changes are minor debuffs to other other suits but Minmatar suits will feel this the absolute worse and we can't even dual tank well.
