I focus on Armor, and generally being a hulking rhinoceros.
Amarr Sentinel has
1. More armor
2. More PG
3. Better recharge delays
4. Better recharge rates
4. 75% more stamina
Ah ha! But I have 1hp/s natural armor regen rate! That is going to make a huge difference in the heat of battle! ( )

Why make one suit deliberately and obviously worse than another.
There are only 3 things Gallente has over Amarr, if you even consider the following things as advantages.
1. Gallente has 1 hp/s natural regen
2. Both have 5 slots, but Gallente is 1/4 and Amarr is 2/3
3. They both have the same resistances for their skill book, but reversed by 1%. Essentially the same resistances.
Why would you ever pick Gallente over Amarr?
1hps natural regen is nothing, I ran minmatar assault through 1.7, and over a very very very long period of time the 1 hp/s matters, but on a fat suit that will be running over 1000 armor!? Its worthless.
You could say that having more low slots is better, because the better modules are in the lows. But the Amarr has more PG, the resource that armor plates and most low modules focus on. And, Amarr has 75 more base hp. Thats like a free armor plate. Because of this Amarr might as well have 4 lows and 2 highs.
I see no advantages over running Gallente Sentinel over Amarr Sentinel other than looking like a godly Rhino. If you can find any, please enlighten me.

So you're saying that the small damage reduction percentage differences between the two, and very marginally better base shield, is the Gallentes advantage?
I do not see that as being better than all the things I listed that the Amarr has over Gallente
More armor
75% more stamina
Better recharge rates
More PG |

Its not faster It isunless something twisted the fabric of time and space and made 365 faster than 385 also 1/4 slots with dual armor resists give you more tank than the Amarr sentinels 2/3 basically what everyone in this thread has said so far
Ah, well the 8 and the 6 are very hard to tell apart.
Its still not that big of a difference though.
I just don't see dual armor resistances as better than shield and armor resistances.
Also, they will both be able to pull off about the same amount of armor, since Amarr has 75 more base Armor, the difference between an amarr with 3 cmplx plates and a gallente with 4 cmplx plates will be marginal. |

Now that I made this
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=150121&find=unread
My argement stands.
The EHP between the Gallente and Amarr are marginal at best
and Amarr still get the benefit of
75% more stamina
2 highs and 3 lows (more fitting versatility vs Gallentes 1/4 while maintaining comparable ehp vales)
better shield recharge rates
get at me |
