nope, dampeners in the lows are the only thing balancing out a caldari scout ATM, and if put in the highs, they would only help the 2 best scout classes, caldari and gallente

I would love for CCP to follow the Gallente profile from EVE more closely. Starting with this, although damage mods in the lows would help bring some balance there are some thing wrong with it. For example the HP of shield alone is way to high if you are planning on stacking 3 damage modifiers in tbe lows.That 27% damage is so much better than 200 HP.

Not saying shields are OP or anything but that damage mods give way to much for no ddrawback. Even then armor tanking with damage mods is pretty OP to.

I need those high slots for my shields and damage mods and I think dampeners on a slow armor tanked suit are a waste.

And if you change damage mods to low slots what would an armor tanker use for the high slots instead if he doesn't wish to use dampeners?

I know that some things might make sense from an Eve point of view but this is not Eve and I don't think this would be a good change for Dust right now.

What armor tankers lack in speed they gain in total HP, so they don't really need damps to compensate for anything.

These things work in Eve because it is a totally different game. Fights work totally different in Dust than they do in Eve.

In Eve the choice between armor and shields is mainly decided by your race / preferred ship / the kind of weapon you expect your enemies to use etc.

In Dust though they serve different roles. Armor is there to stand and fight / be less mobile but hit harder and defend, where shield tankers are fast and trying to cap objectives while not being seen. In a game like Eve where there is no cover, no objectives to be capped, no equipment to be deployed or destroyed, it might make sense to balance those tanking types by making one hit hard and run and the other one have high HP and good sensors. In Dust it does not.

What is doing more damage good for when your enemy can see you through the wall? With your low HP you will be dead before you realised there was an armor tanker around the corner. And to make it worse, if you want to use damps you will further decrease your total HP as a shield tanker. The margin for errors as a shield tanker would be very small while it would not be so bad for armor tankers.

And what if you are an armor tanker and neither using damps nor scanners? A mobile shield tanker with damage mods will just rip you apart because you are too slow to react to him attacking from different positions in quick succession.

Therefore: Armor = high HP, high damage, slow
Shield = low HP, damps, fast
