I hate when people ***** and moan about "Killer bees".
I put down uplinks, that you spawned on.
I put down hives, that filled your ammo and repaired your armor.
I picked you up, saving your suit.
When I'm not doing these things, I'm killing. So what? Should I just stand there and do nothing? No I'm going to go slay.
On topic. Shield vs Armor balance is fine-ish right now. All "shield" suits except minassault can armor tank just as good as armor suits (at the loss of repair modules) and repair hives cost 30K for "the good ones". Saw a callogi with exactly 700 armor last night. Was rediculous.

Soooo.... since only Minassaults are gimped, it's fine? Or "fine-ish"? **** you too buddy. The only way to survive in a Minassault with our insanely low by comparison EHP is to run an ADV dampner and that only protects you from lvl 3 scanners and below. And that's half of your low slots gone while taking up 24 CPU that you now cannot use to fill your 5 high slots. And our 5 high slots are now getting nerfed since shield extenders now have a recharge delay penalty.
On the flip side, all armor suits can stand on 4 hives with 800+ armor and take a full clip of almost any weapon, then be fully repaired by the time the enemy finishes reloading.
Tell me again how shield and armor are balanced.
Full on shield builds, like the minassault are only irrelevent because speed tanking doesn't work except for close quarters strafing.
That's nothing to do with shield vs armor balance and if you want someone to blame about shields getting stacking delay blame the Callogi 550 shields 500 armor with rep hives!
Or you know, just say my 186 shield 600 armor Amarr logi is the problem, because I carry around a set of Wyrkomi triage hives because passive armor repair is useless (Even with the efficiency bonus I get)
But that's at proto.
My advanced builds can barely fit a K17/d sometimes and it reps for a whopping 20 a pulse!  Almost on par with shields except you guys get one always that you don't have to throw down.
On top of that, with max skills across the board for everything including all fitting optimizations you can just bareeeely fit a Duvolle damage mod, 4 enhanced plates and two proto rep hives. Sitting at 198 shields and 709 armor. Oh and I also barely walk at 5.1 m/s can't jump over anything and also have issues strafing. All the build is good for is point defense and honestly the only reason I have that much HP is to hopefully be able to survive a cooked core locus.
