How do you guys feel about Damage Mods for 1.8? I personally feel they're too costly, fitting wise, because you need to stack them for them to be effective.
I think they'll still be needed though as TTK goes up, people will want to kill quicker. People who don't prefer to just sit and tank hits, but flank or strafe will take these modules up and dance around the battlefield.

Enhanced. Complex takes too much fitting unless you're a proto heavy IMO.

The only reason to use a damage mod is if you don't have enough PG for a shield extender.
That's it.
That's literally it.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

I might fit one PRO or ADV to certain dropsuit fittings, but no more than that. The incentive to stack them has been almost completely removed... which is ******* awesome and I am very happy for.

People will use a prototype Rail Rifle over an advanced model even though the difference is only 2% but won't use a prototype damage modifier because it's only 5% now.
Decide if you want to play aggressive or defensive and fit accordingly.

Kinda depends on the play style. For hit and run tactics where you are almost always getting the first shot off, damage mods will still be useful. Most other normal players will not be using them. Also don't forget that proficiency only applies to the weapon type (laser / shield for example) this means getting a little extra boost to both armor and shield will be useful. |

No.
I will be stacking shield extenders and laughing at people who then complain about me dual tanking.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Snipers will become all but useless, particularly those of us who set up camp to try and defend nodes.

Shields > Damage mods. It has always been this way, but this update further emphasizes it.

I think the new damage mods will make the fitting meta better. the assault suits will still benefit greatly from the damage mods. |

The fit I most commonly use currently only has 1 MLT damage mod on it. That being the case I won't really feel the difference other then the fact that I won't die as fast.

Therefore Kaal is worth the money over SB.

I'm actually looking forward to the options opened up when downgrading a damage mod or two becomes an efficient way to balance your suit.
No.
