Nope, with these nerfs and damage fall off against shields RR is probably gonna have to be in effective if their shields are up. So you will probably see a lot of caldari tactics of kiting slow moving armor tanked suits fluxes around corners while the shield suit is already at range. I think you also completely missed the part where I said switching to side arms, that's gonna be extremely imortant in 1.8.

Less damage to shields has alot of meaning and your failure to recognize that shows your scrublyness. People will have to be more conscious about their engagement's now. Armor suits are gonna have a hard time with this but shield suits should already know about this with the scrambler taking out your main tank in one shot.
People are already talking about brick tanking, and no a shield extended on a gallente suit probably won't save you, that's why you have to know your strengths and weaknesses. Shield tanking in a shield suit will defiantly give you an edge on RR and CR but make you weak against PR and SCR.
Do you even tactics?

._. Don't **** with me man. I'm being up front with you, please be up front with me. What's the issue?

I love that attitude. We need more of that on the forums.
