DUST Search - what if we had 2 types of damage mods?

With the eventual proficiency skill balance with blanket damage, what if we applied the same sort of thing with damage mods by splicing them into 2 types that have penalties to its opposite version?

Armor penetration damage modifiers, and shield penetration sage modifiers.

Armor dam mods:
3% increase to armor damage. -1.5% damage to shields.
6% increase to armor damage. -3% to shields.
12% increase to armor damage. -6% damage to shields.

Shield dam mods:
2% increase to shield damage. -1% damage to armor.
4% increase to shield damage to shields. -2% damage to armor.
6%increase to shield damage. -3% damage to armor.

This allows for quit a bit more customization, and squad combinations. You could turn a scrambler rifle into a long range armir shredding monster. Or the rail rifle can be converted into a shield killing machine from hell.

But using one type of damage mod could severely cripple your efforts into killing someone who isn't tanked the way you would want them to be.

Shield dam mods are weaker because of how shield tanked suits have far less HP then armor tanked suits.

Armor dam mods are low slots, and shield dam mods are high slots.

TTK itself, TTK itself if the DPS is reduced by 25% then a dam mod increases Damage considerably less and Dam mods are used less. A-Teams win Battles B-Teams win Campaigns C-Teams win Wars

Sharpshooter Skill tree or something of that sort. Or may be even incorporate that with the Weapon operations?! ie: SCR operation, 2% Damage per level. Would be equivalent to a Complex damage mod at level 5. (But his would be very easy tbh)

If we had damage mods that for example, increase the armor damage of combat rifles/projectiles, but not shield damage, or something that only affected shield damage of lasers etc, then that'd be cool.

IMHO the game needs a universal reduction of damage across all the basic rifles. I think the other weapons are about right, except for a minor buff here and there.

Though the huge increase to armor is just dumb. 12%? Seriously.... 2/4/6% are good numbers to specific shield or armor. The other negative penalties are just too much. Stacking penalties are good enough. But, when all is said and done. I prefer just one damage mod for all weapons, heavy, side arm, or light weapons. with a 2/4/6% damage boost, with stacking penalties. It should work on both armor/shield the same way. Newb

Not be able to have both. Cpu should be in the 90s. Add modifications through ammo types to refine playstyles and/or add diversity. Reduce % to 3,5, 7 or drop weapon damages overall. Keep rep tools the same so it takes team work to kill a player being logied so that dps deficit teams who bring logies can last or endure fights against zerging. And get rid of this stacked-out-damage-modded-all-tank-proto-wep-with-basic-scanner-gun-game-game-play. Its becoming mindless.

The only thing I would change is make the shield and armor damage mods the same. There is a reason why shields should have a lower average TTK than an armor tanker (it's because of health regeneration). The PC and SL should fit into the Sidearm slot so it's accessible and practical to carry one. AV spam vs V spam

While I wholeheartedly agree..... You see the problem we are currently having with content and balance. No wonder they went with a simplistic system and have floated another simplistic idea. Blanket damage mods and Proficiency damage just needs to go. Many good ideas have constantly been voiced and so far it doesnt seem CCP is picking them up or cant implement them easily.

Amarr Light Damage Mods- -Standard: 2% Increase to Amarr Light weapon damage (Laser Rifle, Scrambler Rifle) -Advanced: 4% Increase to Amarr Light weapon damage -Proto: 6% Increase to Amarr Light weapon damage Then so on for sidearms and heavy weapons, and for Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar weapons.
