Why does the Winmatar sentinel have more armor than shield? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Why are heavies still getting the short end of the stick on slot counts?
For the sacrifice in ehp the Minmatar sentinel is giving up vs other suits, shouldn't it be a whole lot faster than the other suits? 385 vs 405 does not seem significant. |

2) Caldari Sentinel: 4 second recharge delayGǪ [b]one second[b] depleted shield recharge delay?? Really?
Caldari sentinel's shield heavy. It has no armor tanking ability it is shield dependent it needs good delay times stop complaining it'll have the lowest ehp out of all heavies come on guys heavy's are meant for point defense I like everything they are throwing out there Dude, I'm fine with it being shield dependent. I'm probably going to skill into it myself for Forging. But if the Depleted Shield Recharge Delay is less than the normal Shield Recharge Delay, that is very clearly a problem.
It isn't. You're thinking of it in terms of what we've had so far and so it seems strange, but it makes sense for a shield tanked heavy. It's designed to be hit and run, while the others are stand and deliver. So it has a fairly high delay (4s) to prevent it from being able to stand and deliver like the armor heavies, while the depleted delay just gives it a fighting chance if the Caldari heavy makes a slipup because there is no shield repping nanohive, there is no shield rep tool, etc.
Remember, shields do not recharge under fire, so the Caldari heavy will still need to fall back if his shields are depleted - the low depleted delay just means it won't take an eternity for his suit to be able to get back in the fight - again, balanced by the fact that an armor heavy can retreat and get his armor repped but no such luxury exists for a shield tanker.
It seems very fair when you consider how the suit is supposed to be used and the fact that you can only ever equip a single shield regulator due to the suit only having one low slot. All other heavies will be vastly superior at stand and deliver style engagements while the Caldari suit will be more suited to brief skirmishes. |

CCP has confirmed it is an error, and it's going to get fixed.
"I do think" is not exactly confirmed. |
