Actually no, no it won't.
Currently there are only two high modules that benefit the Amarr and Gallante, they are damage mods and shield extenders. In 1.8 running a damage mod will be equivalent to running a shield recharger or precision enhancer (two useless modules for medium suits). The only two options will be Shield Extenders and Myofibril Stimulants. The Amarr and Gallante are too slow, to be able to use melee mods effectively. The only thing that will be possible will be brick tanking.
So yep, Shield tanking Gallante Medium suits will be the Standard.

Damage tanking..... iv not heard of that term lol, glass cannon maybe.
anyway i fully support this change, this really needed to be done TTK had got way out of hand where going back to the days of when dust was a thinking mans shooter and you had to carefully control how encounters went simply getting the drop was not enough

Range extenders? Or presision enhancers whichever the high slot mod is.
I do believe a problem is the lack of high slot mods.

Damage modifiers: 3% (std), 5% (adv), 10% (cmp).
Got changed to 3% (std), 4% (adv), 5% (cmp). I'm not going to do the maths on the percentage effects, but it does seem over-nerfed, just by looking at it. Maybe 3%, 5%, 7% would have been reasonable?

You forgot Range and precision extenders , it's like having a full scan.
I think i'm going to use them. They don't use that much of PG/CPU. |

I have been saying...for so long...
You can blame Logis, who will still be able to run 3 complex dmg mods and 2 extenders.

Uh ... ?
If anything I'd argue that the Minmatar Assault is (situationally) the best Assault suit in the game.
Consider -
1. All STD rifles in their current incarnation will be PRO in 1.8, pretty heavy nerf.
2. Damage mods are nerfed
3. Mass Driver buffed
4. Minnie. Assault Bonus gives them an 11 clip Mass Driver and 8 clip Flaylock
The only assault that's going to come close to that hilarious Assault bonus is the Amarr assault with LR/SCR. Hard to really gauge how effective they'll be until we get our hands on them though. The Gallente/Caldari assaults probably won't even be worth using if their bonus hasn't changed from when they were presented on the feedback thread.
The real question is whether or not Medium suits as a whole will be worth using compared to any Sentinel or Commando, though the Amarr and Minnie bonuses at least give them a worthwhile niche that other suit classes won't have.

Well, with dmg mods down the crapper, that's just more SP to reassign during the respec we may or may not see.

These changes needed to happen, too much skill was taken out of the game. Hell, all you need to do this build is stack dmg mods in highs and stack armor in lows... there everyones easy mode slayer. |

nerfing the dmg mods at least makes a shield tankers current choices a little easier, hell maybe the shield recharge might actually see some use in 1.8, dunno what difference it would make though

Edit: amarr assaults can still use a shield recharger to good use.
HA HA HA
And I Guess you have an Amarr proto Assault suit and you do use a recharger on it?
I know several With the proto Amarr Assault suit and nobody uses a recharger.
I'd even go so far as claiming that its currently only useful on the Caldari Logi where having 5 high slots and a 20 per second Shield rep speed is just too slow compared to the total number of Shields you get on the suit.
Minmatar Assault might put it to good use aswell.
FU and FU Dust community, you're mostly a bunch of moronic carebear crybabies. Get good.

Alt uses an amarr basic frame, 2 extenders, 1 recharger / 3 complex reppers. Had no problem in PC rek'ing people with him when he was in not guilty/ pure innocence

I get a lot better return from using an armor rep, reactive plate or ferroscale on a medium suit, than I would with range amplifiers.

Don't really see how this effects min assault any more than any other medium suit, unless you run 3 damage mods on an advanced suit  or 4-5 damage mods on a proto suit |

I might give it a go in 1.8, though.
