Now that the damage mods have been nerfed, which was very well needed but now they are somewhat useless.
So what else is there to put in highslots for a armor tanker like me?
I guess I'm going over to Dual tanking now. :/
Moral of the story: We need more highslot modules CCP you've got everything in the lows.

I have said this before but I am still going to stack damage mods on my assault MD. Because basically the damage reduction on the damage mods in negligible and the MD buff makes up for that. So...3 complex dam mods in my high slot and I also get a innate armor rep. Nothing has really changed and I can still spam the weapon pretty well.

Scan Range extenders! Get that 10m scan range up to a nifty 12m!

Excluding the Shield modules there are only three modules two use.
Precision Modifiers - (not really worth it on a suit with no scan range)
Myrofibril Stimulants - Do I have to explain this one?
Damage mods - Maybe just one just to fill a spot but more hp is better than 5% more damage now.
The other 3/6 are shield modules, so guess what new problem CCP just exacerbated?

Along with: [12] CPU Extenders PG Extenders Shield Regulators Code Breakers Armor plates Ferroscale plates Reactive Plates Armor Repairs Stamina Regenerators Kinetic Catalyzers Profile Dampeners
Compared to the Lowslot options of: [6] Shield recharger Shield Energizer Shield extenders Damage mods - lol Precision enhancers- lol Myrofibril Stimulants - LAWL
That's two times as many modules in the Low Slots compared to Highslots.

The logi is getting a 5+ to scan range but a reduction to precision, I imagine a precision mod. would be potentially useful.

Logis can be flexible with how they have their slot layout however this still leaves the other suits besides scouts kicking in the dirt with that module.

Blah. I've been trying to think of stuff to give to high slots but everything's either been OP or underwhelming.
We would need modules completely separated from EVE, because nothing else that EVE offers(except the hardenders and boosters) would really transfer over.

Codebreakers and all profile mods should be high slot mods imo.
Especially profile damps. Sure extenders don't have a profile penalty like eve but they can be indirectly connected in a one vs other scenario.
Codebreakers cause it is also and ewar mod and ewar seems to be a gallente specialty.
Reactive plates maybe too? ... I know when they were release a lot of peeps said reactive plates would make a nice high slot mod.

See, I brought up Optimal Range extenders and people thought it was OP. Because TTK is what is now, Optimal Range and RoF Enhancers could definitely work.
Reinforced plates could be awesome too.

GTFO.
CCP has shown blatant favoritism to Caldari ever since Modru's Private Trails.
Shield suits have 6 more modules they can sink their teeth into than armor.
and If you want to get rid of defense based modules it's 3 Highslots and 8 highslots.

I feel that profile dampening, as a traditionally Gallentean strength, should be high-slot based.

Listen to your Wolf CCP.
I do have a question though IWS. When CCP decided to give the most ridiculous blanket nerf to all weapons Did they even think about the weapons that were already suffering thus didn't need a nerf? 1 Example: Breach Assault Rifle was worthless before, now you might as well take it out of the game with only 300 DPS.
Did you guys try to warn them about this blanket thinking CCP seems to love?

(Fun fact, Shortly after the plasma cannon came out (about 1 year ago I might add) I asked in a thread why it sucked so much. CCP's summarized response "We don't want to introduce a weapon as OP. We're trying not to create FoTM weapons right out the gate" Well, nice to see they threw that weapon philosophy right out the gate with the Caldari RR. (Which however is expecting to still be the FoTM rifle but I haven't run the hard numbers yet)
This guy can't be serious.Caldari Assault is pretty much hard mode now as EVERYTHING is meant to rip shields a new one.

Based on talks with the developers I know the following.
The individual nerfs to specific weapons were handed out by generated numbers specifically looking into the ttk issue.
The nerf on the damage mods was probably included those with intolerable amounts of TTK typically probably overstacked the damage mods.
The altering of damage vs armor on proficiency was probably a systematic design to make shields and armor choices matter more.
Remember the goal is to make it so that when you slap on an armor plate its noticable, when you slap on a shield extender its noticable, when you slap on a damage mod its noticeable. Different fits will feel different. We're not aiming for halo levels of ttk but we're not being in the instant blap thing either.
While CCP may be doing too much at once again they have reasons for it. My hope is they continue with hotfix adjustments afterwards but well have to see once you guys start producing numbers.
We didn't warn them we're sorta trusting ccp on this as these decisions seem grounded on good goals and intentions.
What did blindside us the indirect AV nerf so it will be something me and the rest of the CPM will be discussing.

you underestimate how GOOD damage mods are now.
on the surface they are less then what we have now BUT, the proficiany nerf means that were going to be missing 15% of our off type damage.
aka a duvolle will be doing 15% less damage to armor.
damage mods are the only way to cancel out the efficiancy loss on off type damage. aka the only way to get the duvolle to do decent damage to armor.
your going to want to put damage mods in your high slots as gallante. |

What kills shields?
here are all the counter shield weapons.
Plasma rifle? It used to before it become obsolete. Shotgun- looool Plasma Cannon- what is a plasma cannon Breach assault rifle - nope Burst Assault Rifle - nope Tac Assault Rifle - not in 1.8 Laser rifle- maybe in 1.8, no numbers yet Scrambler Pistol and rifle (and assault) are the only weapons that are good that are anti shield. Ion Pistol- what a joke
That's 4 out of all 11 weapons that are supposed to be good against shields that are actually good.
Meanwhile in anti armor land you've got Combat Rifle [2] Rail Rifle [2] Mass Drivers [3] Flalock is garbage Sniper Rifles [3] Sniping Forgeguns [3] SMGs [3]
Did I miss any weapons ? Seems to me all but one of anti armor infantry weapons are in tip top shape that's 15/16 weapons being good.

The only thing that's the saving grace I got out of that is the hotfixes.
Maybe now since we aren't on a monthly cycle and 1.8 is out of the way we can see more hotfixes to iron things out because there wen't too many during the monthly cycle.

Unless you were not aware about any changes happening to dmg mods, and the adjustments to AV proficency, then all I can say is this is another reason that the CPM is a total waste of time.

And you guys are NOW just complaining?
Welcome to discussion 4 months ago. I'll be happy to relay that we may have over nuked AV ability again to CCP though and get changes pushed through though.

These changes were known to be inbound and similar points were made in the past, but often these threads were met with "Oh, the details aren't final yet."
There were definitely threads about many of the same issues that are coming up now. They have been ignored. This has all been seen before - 1.2 plate stats, RR/CR stats, and a handful of other things. In each case, CCP have 'asked for feedback' and then completely ignored it.
Nice of you to welcome people to the discussion 4 months ago, though. It'd be nice if anyone outside CCP and the CPM actually knew that it was seriously being discussed.

Admittedly I am still pissed CCP hasn't even bothered to respond, and understandably no one want to respond to an open critique of design choice, to any of the larger, well thought out, or well supported by the community threads that have appeared in the last few months.
It would be nice if CCP could sit down with community members outside of the CPM to discuss other sweeping changes to this game, even if it was merely as a sounding board rather than an open round table or something like that.

I'll be happy to relay that we may have over nuked AV ability again to CCP though and get changes pushed through though. ^ That's just embarrassing.
Discussion 4 months ago? You point me to where CCP stated, or the community decided that:
1) The answer to nadespam was to reduce # of grenades to 2.
2) The Gallente AR needed to be nerfed harder than the SCR, especially the already-useless variants.
3) The MD needed a splash buff.
4) The Magsec would outrange and outdamage the smg.
Because if these were some kind of discussion with CCP or the CPM i missed it.
Having the numbers is what allows us to asses the impact of changes - this comes as some kind of surprise to you?
What you call complaining i call the community reacting to changes that are quite obviously going to make the next months of DUST more hellish than what we've just been through.
I'm not going to even mention tank514 because i'm assuming CCP is going to address it in the equipment devblog. To not address it would be flat-out asinine.
I support SP rollover.

I didn't understand this either and I'm pretty much planning on dumping the Assault Rifle in 1.8 There is something you guys are overlooking. A general TTK nerf will really hurt the ScR due to overheat mechanics. Also the changes to proficiency will again make chewing through armor before overheating with a ScR very difficult (the only way to improve it is with damage mods that are half as effective). While the AR is bonused to shields, it's damage profile is much more balanced and will be much better at eating through armor than the ScR, especially with it's large clip capacity.
I think people are looking at these changes based on the current TTK landscape and not how it will play out after the changes. I suspect the ScR will be hit much harder than the AR, even though it's getting a smaller nerf on paper.
The variants can be fine-tuned along the way to make them more attractive. The important thing was to bring the TTK back to a healthy level to counteract the hit detection changes first. I'm certain we will need further balancing after these changes, but they will be much smaller in scope and easier to handle. 1.8 is the major sea-change TTK fix. Let's keep things in perspective.
I'm not saying everything is perfect, and I have serious concerns about AV balance, but I think things are headed in the right direction and am more optimistic on DUST than I have been in a long time.
Best PvE idea ever!

Came up with some module ideas. Maybe we can push some of these ideas on CCP if 1.8 calls for it.

People who do use the damage mods will still do more damage than those without so I don't see how they will be useless. They won't be what we are used to but its still more damage nonetheless.

What kills shields? here are all the counter shield weapons. Plasma rifle? It used to before it become obsolete. Shotgun- looool Plasma Cannon- what is a plasma cannon Breach assault rifle - nope Burst Assault Rifle - nope Tac Assault Rifle - not in 1.8 Laser rifle- maybe in 1.8, no numbers yet Scrambler Pistol and rifle (and assault) are the only weapons that are good that are anti shield. Ion Pistol- what a joke That's 4 out of all 11 weapons that are supposed to be good against shields that are actually good. Meanwhile in anti armor land you've got Combat Rifle [2] Rail Rifle [2] Mass Drivers [3] Flalock is garbage Sniper Rifles [3] Sniping Forgeguns [3] SMGs [3] Did I miss any weapons ? Seems to me all but one of anti armor infantry weapons are in tip top shape that's 15/16 weapons being good.
When's the last time you used an Ion Pistol? Let me answer for you.Never.
Your opinions are from hence forward,irrelevant.

A couple Possibilities for high slot modules from the top of my head.
External damping field- Reduces explosive damage to shields by a percentage. Doesn't affect armor. Stack-able with penalty. (personal favorite)
Shield Stabilizer- Adds shield resistance to Flux damage at cost of shield regen delay. Stack-able with increasing regen delay penalty ('m thinking Caldari would benefit from this.)
Damage accelerator? (projectile accelerator doesn't work for all weapon types)- Decreases fall off damage. Doesn't increase overall effective range. Non-Stacking to prevent OP.
Tac-net extender (not sure about this one)- Allows for passive scans to be seen by team mates on mini-map. (Another twist on scanning mods that adds an element to gameplay)
Threat Triangulation module- Shows direction of nearest enemy fire. Not talking about damage being taken. Has no range indication. Could be shown as a red arrow on mini-map.
Tried to keep them all with current High module themes. Shields, scan, and damage.

Yeah, size damage mods are getting over nerfed, I'm going to use shield extenders as well on my scout. So much for glass cannons. |

Some of those are actually pretty cool.
I liked the TacNet one. That would hand in hand with my scout. |

Extenders are low slot, aren't they? precision is high?
Either way, I run one of each on my Proto logi and damn if, when combined, the don't make a BIG difference on what I can see on the radar

Not a fan of mods that would decrease TTK (i.e. rate of fire bonus), although I could see mods that increase falloff range (they shouldn't affect optimal). This means a weapon could hit targets at longer ranges than normally possible, but would be doing significantly reduced damage from being in falloff.
