has anybody else looked at the patch notes for 1.8 (work in progress)

i did some number crunching and the gallante heavy has a rather large amount of hitpoints

base hitpoints= 940

4 x complex armor plates 135x4= 540

1 x complex shield extender =66

sub total= 1,546

plus ARMOUR ans shield SKILLS bonus= 50% bounus 1,546=


TOTAL HITPOINTS= 2,319

PLUS A RESISTANCE BONUS= 15% vs railgun tech

TOTAL MAXIMUM POSSIBLE EFFECTIVE HITPOINTS= 2,650.....

isnt that a little too much? thats more than a dropship...

have mercy on the poor caldari souls who would go up against 16 of these bohemoths!!! i think SHIELD vs ARMOUR needs to be balanced once more.

A. Where are the armor repairers? At least one is needed

B. 15% resist applies to armor, not total HP

C. Where are you getting 50% from?
You take BASE HP, then add +25% for armor and shields.
On top of that, you take plates/extenders, add +10% to those and then slap them on suits.

You can't put extenders/plates first and THEN add the bonus.

Actual max eHP:
Base HP: 525 * 1.25 + 390 * 1.25 = 1143
Plates: (132 * 1.1) * 4 = 580
Extenders: 66 * 1.1 = 72.6
Total HP = 1795
15% resist total HP: 2014


2014 is the maximum eHP a Gal heavy can have.

on top of that heavies should be OP compared to an assault suit so before you FOTM fukers with gal logi's start pitchen a fit realize that the heavies effectively way 2-3 times as much as the assault that alone warrents 3000 EHP and a fuk ton a damage that I haven't seen since early chromozome shoties

You just won't shut up will you? Making baseless claims off of weight (weigh, not way) again, in a new thread because I beat you in yours. Stop. Talking. Heavies are fine now and they'll be fine in 1.8, better even, they don't need an idiot like you arguing for another heavy buff.

According to my math, fully tanked proto heavies with full core shield/armor skills will have max EHP as follows (excluding resistances, and assuming all high/low slots are used for complex shield extenders and complex armor plates):

Caldari - 947 Shield, 636 Armor - 1583 EHP

Gallente - 560 Shield, 1250 Armor - 1810 EHP

Minmatar - 705 Shield, 841 Armor - 1546 EHP

Amarr - 595 Shield, 1196 Armor - 1791 EHP

With the heavy's resistance to splash damage, they will be able to tank 1 remote explosive directly and still have 548-740 EHP remaining.

Note: I haven't confirmed whether these fits will work in terms of CPU/PG (since I don't run heavies and don't care enough to check).

Edited to add: After resistances are accounted for, the maxed out heavies above will need 4 shots from a standard shotgun to drop them.

Smh, the Amarr suits want to be useful but it just cant because the "Everything Amarr can do the Gallente can do better" pops into existence.

Im a sad Amarrian

Everything... except you know Assault Rifles, Scrambler Rifles, Scrambler Pistols, Shotguns and Laser Rifles.

Oh and lolPlasma Cannons and soon to be lol Ion Pistols.

AR's are in the lol category too. Worst rifle.

Scrambler Rifle is quite uncommon compared to the others.
Scrambler pistol is less common than the SMG.
Shotguns are uncommon.
LaserRifle lolz

Putting the OPs bad math aside, the Gallente Sentinel is going to be a slow moving beast with somewhere between 1800-2000 HP, however, give me some range on it with my caldari commando and it will die pretty easy.

110% damage vs armor + 10% commando bonus (level V) + 10% for a complex damage mod + 15% for proficiency V = racial warfare balance

Yup. The Gallente get More Armor, Passive Reps, More EHP (barely, but still), two Armor resistances that add up to a better resistance percentage because they have more armor, and More Speed.

The Amarr Get... 35 more shields, and some extra stamina.

I don't see any good reason to use Amarrian Suits over Gallente ones...
