Gallente are armor based, not shield. Don't try making them into dual tankers.

So do what? have a high fitting cost damage mod which gives you a 5% bonus each + stacking penalties? Or put mybrofils in there so your slow suit can melee people to death? Or precision enhancers which on a heavy means you would be able t0 pick up another heavy if he was close enough to give you a hug?
There are not enough viable options for either set of slots at the moment armour gets no high slot mods, shields do get some low slot but I am guessing they are crap because pretty much every "shield tanking" suit on the battlefield has higher armour than shields.
The Gallente Sentinel, for example, has one high slot and four lows at prototype level. What do you think goes in that high for the Sentinel that has a passive of 1 armor per second regeneration and mediocre shielding capabilities? Caldari's prototype Sentinel, on the other hand, gets 4 highs and 1 low and has the greatest shielding capabilities.
It's pretty clear which one does which. The only Sentinel with more armor than the Gallente's own Sentinel is Amarr, which prototypes are 3 lows, 2 highs. They are the closest thing to dual tanking able, with Minmatar sitting right below.
Jeeze. I thought this would be common knowledge by now.

It's useless being patronising when you're not actually considering the effectiveness of the fitting being discussed.
No, effectiveness is being considered. The underline of what I am attempting to say is to not try to make it into something it's not. That suit- that Gallentean Sentinel- is capable of breaking 1200 armor. There's no point in attempting to further that tank instead of backing up your firepower. If you want to shield tank, go Minmatar or Caldari. If you want armor tanks, you go Gallente or Amarr (though Amarr is pretty capable of dual tanking, as is Minmatar).
You can either tank or you can gank. That's the bottomline with some of these suits.
