TechMechMeds Swamp Marines Kleenex Inc. 1574	Posted - 2013.12.05 15:33:00 - [1] - Quote Seen as shields are supposed to be good for hit and run, surely now that they are less efficient at that and will need to 'run' for longer they should get a hp buff? People will have to use more regulators so less hp, it seems to me that shield users will now just dual tank as standard or commit to it but be left gimped, especially with the current popularity of the scr.

TechMechMeds Swamp Marines Kleenex Inc. 1574	Posted - 2013.12.05 15:35:00 - [3] - Quote This change doesn't even affect me as my fun suits are shield (proto cal assault and proto min assault) and my main I use 99% of the time is proto amarr logi. My alts proto are armour as well, no ulterior motive here. Level 1 forum warrior. Minmatar and Gallente fw. Fix PC lag please CCP.

Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 1969	Posted - 2013.12.05 15:46:00 - [6] - Quote Well, I do play my Assault mk.0 like a scout. It only has 2 low slots. Putting a regulator in that 2nd low slot, though increases my chances between battles, it decreases my single engagement survivability. If I can't live long enough to run away, I can't run away. If I can't run away, that regulator is useless. This applies to both minnie assault and minnie scout. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

A Dev needs to come in and clarify so we shield tankers either back away from the edge or go ahead and jump.

I think they are fine as they are right now. they were too good for scouts anyway. if shotguns hit detection was good, we would all be screwed.

They don't blow, its just a different style of play, shield suit users will be using assault like a scout now, the pure shield tankers. The point remains, damage mod stacking + armor tanking is the winning strategy for all races and classes. This will only change if the logis get a remote shield rep tool or the shield extenders get a nice HP buff. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG

I was having this out with Kevall in the Dev Patch post. You hit the nail on the head; regulators, energizers (which are BOSS), and recharges only function if you survive long enough for them to do their work. I am a big proponent of shield tanking (I run a pure CalAssault) but slapping on a basic plate has significantly increased my survivability until a LogiBro can rep me. The penalty to depleted recharge isn't a back breaker but it definetly came out of nowhere. I think they they need to shave a litle bit off the CPU/PG cost for Shields and buff the HP around 15points. Again, I'm actually ok with full on shield tanking...I just don't find it viable right now.

Frankly it depends on how much use will the Combat Rifle and Rail Rifle have as they both do 10% more DMG to armour and -5% to -10% DMG to shields - so pure shield tankers will have a better chance to survive. Hopefully this will create a more variable battle field.

Hopefully this will create a more variable battle field. That sounds good, but HP is HP and damage is damage with the way things currently stand. In my opinion the increases in damage to certain HP should disappear. Put in their place should be resistances of certain HP to certain damage types. Instead of a SCR dealing more damage to shields, just do the damage that you see in the info screen (plus skills and mods). But armor should be 25% resistance to SCR damage. Something to that effect. If something like this was done it would significantly increase the TTK and allow for other playstyles than fitting as much HP as humanly possible and brawling. Remove time in battle from ISK payout formula and provide a bonus to winning team... Watch battles become fun again.
