jordy mack Ultramarine Corp 219	Posted - 2014.03.19 11:46:00 - [1] - Quote I'm assuming explosive, does this mean if I go minmatar assault/commando then... hmm... Less QQ more PewPew
Django Quik Dust2Dust. 2416	Posted - 2014.03.19 11:48:00 - [2] - Quote It is explosive. They're still going to be **** poor in 1.8 no matter what you do. Dedicated sidearm scout - Watch out for that headshot Scout community is the nuts

Monkey MAC Rough Riders.. 2210	Posted - 2014.03.19 11:59:00 - [4] - Quote Explosive However Caldari Swarms probably won't be effected, because they are caldari Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl 2.
jordy mack Ultramarine Corp 219	Posted - 2014.03.19 12:46:00 - [5] - Quote Yer I just rechecked and the minny assault bonus is projectile I forgot, also 25% of 3 is less than one derr. Also (I think) The min commando would get the same dmg output from the swarms post 1.8 with 2 complex damage mods, as any suit with 2 cmplx dmg mods now, except the commando post 1.8 would need prof 5 in swarms. And almost 30% of that wouldn't effect shields.... Damn, ok well I give up. Less QQ more PewPew

You should realize that it's an anti-armor specialized AV weapon, unlike the forge gun, plasma cannon, and future heavy Gallente AV, which are hybrids and deal roughly equal damage to shield and armor. It's like asking for your mass driver to be effective against shield as well as armor. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

If I'm understanding you right, you're wrong. The only thing that matters is that swarms are explosive weapons, and the MinCom will get bonus to explosive weapon damage. This occurs to me as a good place to plug weapon types and damage types. In DUST we have Laser, Hybrid - Plasma, Hybrid - Rail, Projectile, and Explosive weapons that have fixed damage modifiers against shields and armor. CCP should do in DUST what the do in EVE and make weapon types Energy, Hybrid, Projectile, and Missile and they would do some combination of the following damage types, EM, Thermal, Kinetic, and Explosive.

Atiim wrote: Mass Drivers are not only good at taking out armor; though your argument is a bit dishonest considering how you can carry a grenade that instantly wipes the shields off a shielded dropsuit (at STD tier) while even the Allotek Flux Grenade will not completely strip the shields off a shielded dropsuit. Along with this, Mass Driver users don't have to worry about their enemies shields being repaired instantly from a Shield Booster, while Anti-Armor AV users will. Don't forget about the fact that no dropsuit will have a 60% resistance to Flux Grenades, while Gunnlogies do. [...] Comparing AP weapons to AV isn't really a good basis for an argument, as their uses and engagement terms vastly differ.

I assume that second dropsuit should say vehicle. Also, don't bother shooting Gunnlogis with hardeners on. (For the most part.)
