Does 3HP/s even matter when you have 1000HP?

Even 10HP/s is negligible.

I noticed this went to the scout instead. seems backwards..shouldnt the scout get 1 HP armor rep?

Amarr can armor tank harder than Gal Heavy so it should have the more flexible armor im thinking.

According to a dev the 1sec depleted recharge for caldari heavy is believe to be a typo, no final word yet though.

It doesn't even matter anymore to me; the Gallente are doomed once 1.8 comes out. Our buffer won't mean cap and our repair won't mean crap. If people actually helped and repaired and/or if armor repairers weren't so bad then it might be worth while to armor tank but it isn't really. It's only good for stacking damage mods which are going to hell in 1.8. We have the Caldari sentinel that can recharge at 30hp/s in 1 second that's the best passive tanker in the game! Not to mention the massive shield buffer it will get as a heavy suit. The gal heavy gets a laughably poor 1hp/s and the hope that a logi will help.

This is probably why I won't go Gallente in 1.8 since passive armor tanking will suck and buffer tanking won't make much of a difference anymore with guns like the RR out classing everything. On top of that CCP might change the damage proficiency bonus so it does another 10% damage to armor .

When it comes to tanks armor tanking works because the Maddy has more HP in armor than a Gunn has in shields not some crappy backwards copy. And equipping an armor repair isn't detrimental but a very effective module choice not only that but the Maddy has speed so he can easily close distance on a rail gun, suffice it to say if the rail gun gets the jump on him the Maddy will lose but this feels more balanced than the infantry "balance".

Amarr and Gallente Role had just "swap".

Amarr is now pure Brick tanking like Eve.
And Gallente is full Hp Regen. NOT pure armor tanking anymore


Gallente crying is pretty funny because Amarr has ALWAYS played like you're going to play WITHOUT base Hp regen and never cried.

if the amarr get an extra 100 armour, caldari keep their crazy recharge, and the minmitar get some extra m/s... sure

Except we can't tank with HP regeneration in Dust... The best we can get is 31.25, that's like what a 5% damage reduction from a average gun. Regardless if we are armor tanks or armor regen both do not work well enough to fulfill the role. A Gallente suit still needs more base HP in armor than a Caldari has in shields, as for repairs is 1 has really good enough to rely on lol? When damage mods go the best tank will again be shields and omni tank.

1 sec IF DEPLETED.
It means Caldari needs to be near to DEATH to actually use it.
Like a "second wind".

While your passive repair going to be permanent.
It's up to you to fit on your Gallente Reactives Plates and Armor Repair.

(Don't forget they will be buffed soon.)
