Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 323	Posted - 2014.03.03 16:58:00 - [3] - Quote I don't think extenders are worth it for the CalSen. They are hardly worth it now for CalAss when compared to damage mod effectiveness. Either extenders get buffed, or damage mods get nerfed before we have a real choice. For now, stack rechargers or damage mods. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG
Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 1872	Posted - 2014.03.03 17:02:00 - [4] - Quote ew. Bad fit is bad, OP. Extenders only to compensate for energiser loss. Regulator if in squad with armour repair of some kind, otherwise regulator. I like 2x ext, 2x energiser 1x regulator, boundless, PRO Magsec. Yes you can fit all that. Does take maxed skills though (including fitting optimisation :) ) EDIT: Would be 3x energiser, but I couldn't fit it. Forge on for great justice! Defend the meek! Destroy the weak!

They are hardly worth it now for CalAss when compared to damage mod effectiveness. This is very, very wrong. Unless you're sniping, in which case: carry on. Any time Shield Extenders represent more than 12% of a suit's total HP, it is always better to put one in your hi-slot instead of a Damage Mod. That's true of Caldari Assault. Now for heavies? It isn't true. A shield extender represents 6.3% of a Caldari Heavy's HP, so it's better to use Damage Mods until the stacking penalty reduces below that. That happens right around 3x Damage Mods. 2x Damage mods and 1x Complex Shield Extender = 3x Damage Mods in effectiveness. It's basically your pick for Adv Caldari Sentinel. On your proto Caldari Sentinel, always use at least one Complex Shield Extender. I used to own the FAT GAT until this --> [ASCII Art removed - *draconian forum overlord* CCP Logibro]

Could give a long range option when using an HMG, but I would want to make sure they were still functional at short range incase I get too pressed to be able to reload my HMG.

Shyeer Alvarin Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 217	Posted - 2014.03.03 18:09:00 - [19] - Quote Given the Cal-Sent's 1sec depleted recharge delay, it completely negates the need for a regulator. Because of the recharge delay penalty on shield extenders coupled with the practically nil recharge delay as is, stacking extenders -is- a viable option. Stacking 5 complex shield extenders results in a 363hp increase, with an approx 1.35-2 second recharge delay when fully depleted. In this, flux grenades can be extremely useful. Even if your base recharge delay is fairly long, you can flux yourself and start your regeneration almost instantly. You'll still have to contend with the recharge rate though. If there's a respec, I'd probably go with 3 complex shield extenders, 2 complex energizers, Shield Reg (to negate the recharge delay penalties) and either Flux or AV grenades for clearing out EQ and getting rid of pesky death taxis respectively. HMG or Forge depending on the situation. Probably go with the Burst due to it having greater DPS over the standard full-auto HMG.

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens League of Infamy 647	Posted - 2014.03.03 18:14:00 - [21] - Quote I think Energizers and Rechargers are definitely the way to go. Caldari Sentinels will have 600 some odd shields but only recharge at 30 a second. The one second recharge depletion delay is only going to be really cool if you can recharge more than 30 a second. Get that to 50 or so and a Caldari Heavy can fight in bursts for an extended period. Pop out, kill a dude or two, fall right back into cover, count to 8, you have 400 shields ready to go. It may be hard pressed to handle a pure brick with a repairer or two but there isn't much in the game that doesn't have trouble with that. Maybe a mix of getting shield recharge as high as possible and using mods to make you sprint faster? Cavalry Sentinel anyone?

My previous statement regarding "shield regulator needs being negated" refers to the otherwise normal convention for every other Caldari suit that has a LONGER depleted recharge delay than its' standard recharge delay.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 2709	Posted - 2014.03.03 18:50:00 - [26] - Quote Base Shields 525 + 25% = 656 Base Armor 390 + 25% = 487.5 Total = 1143.5 With 4x Complex Shield Extenders: 1143.5 + 264 = 1407.5 So 4x Complex Shield Extenders increases health by 23% 3x Complex Heavy Damage mods increased damage by 24.4% plus you have 1 high slot left over. Also when considering Self Fluxing, keep in mind the Fuse Time on the Grenade, and the fact that another Second is added on after you flux yourself. May still be worth it if you are stacking 4x Complex Extenders, but I have not run the numbers to find out. Fox Gaden: DUST Wall of Fame, 2014

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 2710	Posted - 2014.03.03 19:15:00 - [31] - Quote 4x Complex Shield Extenders: I can see this fit appealing to people who want a little more staying power, and it is not a bad fit, but it does not play to the strength of the suit. Shield Energizers/Recharge: These modules amplify the SuitGÇÖs strongest feature. Those who truly embrace the play style of the suit will like to equip these modules. 2x or 3x Damage Mods: The idea is to kill them quick, or make them take cover, which will give your shield a chance to regen. I personally think a combination of Damge Mods and Energizer/Recharge modules will give the best bang for the buck with this suit. I also anticipate many people running Caldari Sentinel will not be running with Logi all the time, so I would equip an armour repair, although you might get away with a Reactive Plate. 487.5 armor, with Armor skills at 5, is nothing to sneeze at. If someone you run with has a rep tool or rep hive, then you can be creative and try a Kinetic Catalyser, or Brick tank a bit with a Plate. Fox Gaden: DUST Wall of Fame, 2014

Btw, its a shield tanking suit, you want to get as much shield tanking (regulators are shield tanking) as possile, less delay, more recharge, you want to keep your shields up as long as you can. So you are willing to completely discount 487.5 Hit Points? Just to clarify my experience, I run solo (as in not with a logi) on my heavy with 1 Armour Repair, and no plates, relying mostly on Shield Recharge as the Armour repair is only good for getting armour back between battles. So basically I run my suit now the same way you would run a Caldari suit, except that the Caldari suit is slower (I use KinCats), but will have even more shields and more high slots. After the first engagement I will usually have less than 487.5 Armour on my current fit because I donGÇÖt wait for my armor to repair. By the time my Shields have regenerated my Armour will be back to 20% or 30% which gives me a bit of a buffer if my shields go down. On the Caldari suit your shields will take even more damage before they go down (unless you are Fluxed), but you only drop your recharge delay from 4 seconds to 1 second if you wait for your shields to go down completely. That means your armour buffer will be MORE important on a Caldari Sentinel than other Caldari suits. You will want to be dropping into armor before taking cover every time. That means you will be taking Armor damage. With no Armor Repair it is only a matter of time before that buffer is gone. By the way, I have always used an Armour Repair on Caldari suits. That armor buffer is important. Fox Gaden: DUST Wall of Fame, 2014

That armor buffer is important. My 2 regulators say hi, it works so much better, your shields will always be up on the sentinel... Trolling proficiency 5

I assume you are talking about the current Amarr Sentinel as the Caldari Sentinel will only have 1 low slot. I still find the idea of having no way to repair armour on a Heavy suit to be a bit sketchy. Fox Gaden: DUST Wall of Fame, 2014

They are hardly worth it now for CalAss when compared to damage mod effectiveness. Either extenders get buffed, or damage mods get nerfed before we have a real choice. For now, stack rechargers or damage mods. Damage mods are confirmed to be nerfed Sees prototompers... Sees blueberries start to snipe... Pulls out commando suit with laser rifle and swarm launcher...

Any time Shield Extenders represent more than 12% of a suit's total HP, it is always better to put one in your hi-slot instead of a Damage Mod. That's true of Caldari Assault. Now for heavies? It isn't true. A shield extender represents 6.3% of a Caldari Heavy's HP, so it's better to use Damage Mods until the stacking penalty reduces below that. That happens right around 3x Damage Mods. 2x Damage mods and 1x Complex Shield Extender = 3x Damage Mods in effectiveness. It's basically your pick for Adv Caldari Sentinel. On your proto Caldari Sentinel, always use at least one Complex Shield Extender. True, but then you remember the shield depleted recharge delay is one second "Pulvis et umbra sums."

The context of damage mod use does matter, and in addition to sniping, my context is in squads with multiple protologi rep tools and triage nanohives. Given that context, even with some sort of damage mod nerf, I'll likely fit a Kal Forge Gun with 3 heavy heavy damage mods, Ishkone Assault SMG with a sidearm damage mod, and a complex armor plate. Solo with HMG, sure, use a bunch of extenders. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG
