Gazing at the Sentinel suits as I mainly play Heavy has me pondering a couple things. Traditionally, Amarr has the highest stamina and base HP with being a dual tanker of both shield and armor. Due to this, they are typically slower in sprinting speed and tend to have one less slot than the other races. Why is this not done here?
So my proposed changes would be thus:
Amarr:
Keep the Amarr slot layout how it is due to the ability to dual tank or brick tank with damage mods as they are doing now. Change the HP back to 480/480 as is now for them to be DUAL tankers as there sentinel bonus is applying them as such.
Caldari: give the Caldari one more low at proto level resulting in four high two low which allows them to shield tank effectively. One flux will still ruin this suit from becoming too effective at CQC. This shall be the bane of all AV by fitting damage mods and a forge gun which is how I see the suit anyways, long range AV. As well buff shields to 540 and lower armor to 360 which would put then at 1125 HP with core skills at 5, 75hp less than Amarr.
Gallente:
The Gallente could go either way here with an extra slot going to the high or to the low. If it went to the high, it would result in two high and four low which would be the best brick tank with damage mods suit which would kill the Amarr. So I believe 1 high and five low would be the best way to go, allowing the Gallente to tank with armor reps the best out of the suits which is what they are known for. As well, switch the HP to 540 armor, 360 shields which would result in 1125HP with skills maxed, the same as the Caldari.
Minmatar:
The Minmatar are known for being shield tanks who can dual tank which by there bonuses it seems they are attempting to push. For this the slot layout should increase to three high and three low at proto level allowing the most versatile suits out of the heavy. As well the HP should be 420 shields and 380 armor giving 1000 health with all skills maxed. Finally, the armor rep bonus should be given to minmatar due to them having the lowest EHP and ran as more of a flanker/hit and run sentinel suit due to the quicker speed.
