Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 4324	Posted - 2013.12.04 21:21:00 - [1] - Quote Here is a comparison of my best Gallente Assault against my best Caldari Assault. These suits are min maxed for pub matches, and there is literally no better way I can think of to fit these suits after months of trying out stuff. Gallente Assault: 2x Enhanced armor paltes 1x Complex armor rep 1x Enhanced armor rep 1x Complex shield extender (You can't avoid explosive damage because of the massive radius, so I use an extender) 2x Complex damage mods GEK 38 Syndicate SMG M1 Locus X-3 Quantum Nanohive Stats: 504 armor 217 shields 10hp/s armor rep 4.72hp/s movement speed 6.94hp/s sprint speed (biotics maxed, dropped from 7.35) Caldari Assault: 3x Complex Shield extenders 1x Complex damage mod 1x Complex CPU extender 2x Complex shield regs Duvolle Assault Rifle Syndicate SMG Core Locus Grenade Ishukone Gauged Nanohive Stats: 483 shields (Can still go further, I have not fully maxed the shield skill) 150 armor 31hp/s shield recharge Shield recharge delay: 2.8 seconds Shield depleted recharge delay: 4.5 seconds 5m/s movement speed 7.35m/s sprint speed Conclusion: Gallente Assault gets 88 more total eHP Caldari Assault gets 21 more shield recharge (at a small recharge delay) Caldari gets a 0.28 movement speed advantage Caldari gets a 0.41 sprint speed advantage. Gallente gets 5% more damage than Caldari (Duvolle has 5% more damage than GEK) Caldari can fit a duvolle assault rifle, which closes the damage difference, has more range and less dispersion. Caldari can fit a Ishukone Gauged Nanohive, which is better than what the Gallente has. Notes: You can replace the damage mod with an energizer or recharger with increases the recharge gap further, put on a core locus grenade and an advanced SMG. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

I think that could open up more room for better mods/weapons, like perhaps CPU>Armor plate for the Caldari.

Here is a very clear description of Armor and shields: Armor: Stand your ground and deliver Shields: Get in, damage people, get out, then get back in to finish them off while they're wounded and you're back to full. Exactly. If someone is stupid enough to run straight into an armor tanker, (or get flanked by one o_o) they deserve to get their ass handed to them. High eHP and more damage makes for defender. Shield is all about hit and run. You can whittle armor down so long as they aren't in a fortified position (rep hives everywhere.) Your first attack knocks their shields out and cuts their armor down to roughly your eHP. Hide and launch your second after a couple cycles of pulses to finish them off. The scout argument I won't touch on. Scouts need their own balance pass and until then Scouts are damned no matter which way the defenses go. The only way Scouts go up is when damage gets toned down and it'll be that way 'til the balance pass.

It's practically a more accurate Duvolle Assault Rifle (Wolfman said it's more accurate), that fires much faster but does less damage.

Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic Top Men. 341	Posted - 2013.12.04 21:46:00 - [20] - Quote Why does this keep coming up? It's even ONLY because of the CPU/PG enhancers allows the shield tankers to use a higher tier. The tanking mods themselves are not balanced. Still I think if you buff shields you will throw the balance off in assaults. Move the PG enhancer to high slot (possibly reworking CPU/PG mods in the process.)

The Gallente assault has it much worse off than the Gal Logi does. The playing field between Caldari Assault and Gallente Assault are fairly close and with proper changes to aspects such as the Suit and Racial bonuses, the two suits would be proper examples of each playstyle. The Gal Logi does seem to throw things out of perspective, much like the Cal Logi did with shields. >.>... Cal Assault could use a little more PG to fit that Rail Rifle a bit better. 17 is a little difficult. Well... Both suits could probably use a bit more CPU/PG. Lol.

Also, a weapon is much more effective than a rep tool. You THINK, but you aren't a Gallente. You have an idea of Gallente assaults that the forums built up, BY SHIELD TANKERS that have no clue how armor tanking is done. Basic suits and advanced suits have a bigger HP gap, but their regen gap is bigger too. Basic armor reps do 2hp/s, advanced do 3. At the proto level this gap closes to create nearly equal suits.

Here's some food for thought: Why are Prototype Gallente Suits among the rarest Assault suits in the game? In 20 matches I see maybe one, while I see plenty of Proto Caldari. And in PC matches? LOL Gallente don't exist. Now consider that the two most popular weapons right now are anti shield, which should deter people from Caldari. Ok let me rephrase it, im sure i can make a more effective fit then that. Also about that regen gap.. tell me how my "awesome" regenation is helping me while im dead cause i sure as hell wont survive the time i need to start regen even at a distance. And its enough with 1 complex repper, you just need to wait a bit longer 1 more minute wont kill you Also.. the caldari needs an CPU upgrade to do that fit You have an idea of my knowledge of armor tanking, THAT YOU BUILT UP I do have an Gallente alt, just not as skilled as my Caldari and ive been around since closed beta so i do know a thing or two bout armor tanking

With an extra plate I would be slower and regenerate at 6hp/s. A logi means two people, so OF COURSE it should be more powerful. A healing nanohive is impossible to fit on that suit. Those nanohives tie you down to a specific area, can be destroyed, and are limited. Give the caldari a Logi as well who would you think wins? Im pretty sure i could make a much better fit then that if i were gallente.. and also.. Make the same comparison on advanced and base suits.. Shield logi tools are coming SoonTM. Also, a weapon is much more effective than a rep tool. You THINK, but you aren't a Gallente. You have an idea of Gallente assaults that the forums built up, BY SHIELD TANKERS that have no clue how armor tanking is done. Basic suits and advanced suits have a bigger HP gap, but their regen gap is bigger too. Basic armor reps do 2hp/s, advanced do 3. At the proto level this gap closes to create nearly equal suits. Here's some food for thought: Why are Prototype Gallente Suits among the rarest Assault suits in the game? In 20 matches I see maybe one, while I see plenty of Proto Caldari. And in PC matches? LOL Gallente don't exist. Now consider that the two most popular weapons right now are anti shield, which should deter people from Caldari.

It goes both ways. 1 minute WILL kill you, it's a 15 minute match and you can't just sit around doing nothing for a minute. The Caldari can afford using a CPU extender. If I use a CPU extender I lose regen or HP, which I can't afford. Yeah well, I have 21mil SP into armor, shields, Gallente and Caldari suits. I spent HOURS tweaking both of them to the max. You can't make a better generalist suit than this. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Lets not forget, Minmatar Vs Gallente Scout Minmatar Vs Gallente Assault Gallente would be a Minmatar Scout hands down. LolMinmatarAssault Because the Gallente is SUPPOSED to win in a 1v1? Here is a very clear description of Armor and shields: Armor: Stand your ground and deliver Shields: Get in, damage people, get out, then get back in to finish them off while they're wounded and you're back to full. Also, the difference between the two is rather tiny, it wouldn't take a lot to make the Caldari win. Three bullet misses from the Gallente = Caldari wins. Now considering a Duvolle has tighter dispersion than a Caldari, and the Caldari is strafing faster... if only there was more cover to hide behind and recover and come backt to finish them off.

KingBabar The Rainbow Effect 1479	Posted - 2013.12.05 00:17:00 - [46] - Quote First off, that cal assault doesn't get any armor reps at all, thats almost 25% of total HP not regenerating. Personally I'd put 2 dmg mods, 2 basic plates and an allotek hive on it, giving it about 765 HP (or another extender with one dmg mod) and a combined rep speed after 5 sec of 71 or close to it (dunno exact hive impulse speed). Anyways, losing 187 EHP for saving 2.2 sec of the recharge delay giving you about 70 hp more after 5 sec, compared to having 40 more reps all the way. And yes you have to stand on the hive, and yes there are only 3 off them, but these are for sticky situations, your 422 or 502 shiels are supposed to carry you through most encounters. In short: Best way to make a cal assault suit good in terms of best HP/DPS/REP combo is to armor tank it, even better with hives. http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/KingBabar/media/BannerKingbabarcopy.png.html

Gallente still has the two most important stats of any FPS, which is the ability to give and receive damage, better.

Armor tankers can more easily integrate damage to their fittings, easily have more ehp, and use scanners easily, allowing them to avoid clumps of enemies. I would say that shield tankers could at least "dodge bullets" by strafing or whatever, but with this AA that's impossible. As of right now, armor is so much better than shields it's scary, and there's really no advantages to shield tanking. 2x complex damage mods on a Caldari Assault? That's not the smartest of moves. Also, Gallente assault can't detect anyone, 10m range is awful Lastly, that compact nanohives lasts for 0.5 picoseconds. It can't even fully rep your suit And where the **** do you see 6.25 hp/s? You filled all of your low slots with plates. That's a very awful suit. The weapons, equipment, and damage mods were to act as a base point for my argument, where both suits have the same damage and logi-ness. Sorry one of the complex plates was supposed to be a repper.

Gallente still has the two most important stats of any FPS, which is the ability to give and receive damage, better. You're forgetting the regenerating stat. I tried armor plates up the ass suits in PC. You know what happens? They shoot me, go behind cover, regenerate while I scramble for cover because I know what's going to happen, and then they just finish me off. HP means jack if your enemy regenerates at 31hp/s while you regenrate at 6.25hp/s. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

HP means jack if your enemy regenerates at 31hp/s while you regenrate at 6.25hp/s. No, because as long as 1/6 of your squad is a logi, you'll be repping at 70+ hp/s. Besides, EVERY good play is constantly squaded up, and a logi can't do jack to shields. Regeneration means jack if you die to everything in a second. A Caldari and a Gallente meet up, each deal 500 damage to each other and run. Caldari runs away and recharge there sheilds in about 15 seconds. Gallente gets in a triage hive and recharges in about 8 seconds. These are simple numbers but it's very difficult to put them in a realistic way where the Caldari ever has the advantage.

Then think about the stats on various logistics dropsuits. Is it armour that's the problem or the logistics? Logistics, yet again.
