They were talking about a nerf to shields for a while before the buff to armor, to make it more even. But now that they've given a major buff to armor and also lessened the penalty, armor is being favored over shields currently. Then they add this nerf and it appears to make no sense when the reality is they've probably been working on it since back before armor was buffed.

Still, it serves no purpose unless they either make the penalty extremely low (in which case what's the point) or buff the health shields give because right now even the basic armor plate gives more health than the complex shield extender and has essentially no penalty (and has way lower PG/CPU costs).

Yeah dude, like seriously..

Complex shield extenders: 66HP / Basic armor plate: 80HP

I mean there are plenty of more arguments out there, but this should be single handedly the most sufficient.

Oh and sick Signature. SOCRATES FTW!

When your playing dust and your frustrated...if all else fails...turn off the ps3. Works every time.
