Why exactly does an armor based suit (amarr) have a better deplete delay than a shield favoring suit (Minmatar)?
Minmatar Sentinel: 6 second deplete Amarr Sentinel: 5 second deplete
Minmatar Commando: 10 Second deplete Amarr Commando: 8 Second deplete

is the non depleted delay better for minmatar? if so then i guess CCP doesnt want minmatar to stick around long enough to lose shields.
Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3
That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=

The minmatar has a 1 second non-deplete delay advantage over the amarr.
Not exactly much of a difference.

I think the idea is that the Amarr suit should be better at tanking in every way, since it's slower. Not saying I agree, but I think that's the idea. |

Well tanking and regen are a bit different.
Minmatar are supposed to be hit and run. It's more like hit and die horribly.

I would've been confused if the suits made sense...

Fair point. I guess non-sense is common sense with balance around here.

Well there is you explanation, Minmatar are penalised for dipping into armour more than the amarr.

Yet it still doesn't make sense.
That's like saying the amarr get negative armor repair rate because they dipped into armor.

The Minmatar suits will rely heavily on boxes, girders, and corners for defense. DonGÇÖt forget the Minmatar suit is the fastest Sentinel suit and the Amarr is the slowest.

Isn't it the same for Med Frames too? Doesn't the Min Assault have something like an 18hp/s Recharge?

Yeah. Min assault has 18 hp/s with a 10 second deplete delay. Doesn't make any sense.
Hit and run needs good regen especially when you have much less health than everyone else.

Kinda redundant. What kind of dual-tanked heavy bails before their shields are gone?
No.

Because Caldari are full shield tankers, not like minmatar who are Dual-Tankers During a 1v1 fight a Caldari only relies on shields, if you get him down to armour, he is pretty much dead. If you get a minamtar down to armour he will still have reps on that, therefore he doesn't require the delay to be short.

I get the idea behind WHY it is this way but it still really doesn't make much sense.

I just wish CCP would stick to the more conventional lore when it came to the races in DUST. The longer the game continues to progress, the more they seem to get off track. I understand certain things can't be exactly like they are in EVE but sometimes the spirit of what was shown in EVE seems to be missing. |

didn't you know CCP hates minmatar?
90% of minmatar weapons in the game have been nerfed directly. and all the minmatar suits pale in comparison to the other races.
