Put two rechargers in low slots and problem solved, it works for me.

The new nerf only effects depleted recharge not normal damaged recharge, and I'm usually dead anyways if my shields are depleted as, like most minnies, I don't use armor!

Tl;dr

Summary: The shield nerf hits minmatar assaults the hardest

So now I am really confused. I have been using the minmatar assault since it came out. It has always been slightly inferior to the other assaults but I've put up with it cause its cool and the sidearm clip size bonus is actually pretty useful.

The proto min assault suit has two low slots. Two.

First came the active scanner which means in order to not get scanned you have to put in two profile Dampeners. OK fine.

Then came the stupid AA which made speed tanking the suit useless.

Now the shield extender stacking penalty in 1.7. Shield extenders were the only way to make this suit useful! It already has the slowest natural shield regulator and recharge. Combine that with the lowest potential eHP. Wtf am I supposed to do!? All that currently matters is HP and now your telling me I can't even stack shields efficiently?

TTK is so low that being a hit and run player doesn't work.. It's more like hit then die. So in the last couple of updates you've buffed armor (I agree it needed that), effectively shortened TTK, then nerfed shields. ALL OF THESE MAKE THE MINMATAR WORSE! More so than any other suit! Throw us a ******* bone!

Minmatar assault?

Ha try Minmatar scout.

Well all the scouts are broken and everybody knows it. They'll get their buff soon.

It's a fcking assault suit. How am I supposed to keep up with the other assaults that have way more HP, better rechargability, and more flexibility in terms of layouts?

do you have nothing in your high slots equipment or grenade??

The Min Assault over the months has steadily become the laughing stock of the Assault class.

Ironically, the Caldari Assault is a better armour tanker then the Min frame... WTF

There has only been one time in this game I have feared mini assaults. Bet you guys miss the Flaylock.

Seriously though, that suite needed a third low slot before this, or built in armor rep. I feel for them.

we do have a built in armor rep... 1 hp/s.

Definitely worth that extremely low hp we've got.

Haha right? Great thanks ccp for half a basic armor rep. And I never even used the flaylock when it was good. I had too much pride to use an obviously OP weapon and act like I was good.

Minmatar assault?

Ha try Minmatar scout.

I guess us minnie assault guys are OP? All 12 of us.........
