Armor repair mods have been entirely underwhelming for far too long. Considering how good remote repairers and triage hives are, there is little incentive to run more than one rep for when the logi is shooting things. Even if you had to slightly reduce repair rate of remote reps for this I think it would be completely worth it, particularly since the amount they repair is crazy high anyways.

Basic - 3hp (from 2)

Advanced - 5hp (from 3)

Prototype - 8hp (from 5)

I feel that these are minor enough to not be disruptive, yet significant enough to be worth the change. I think there need to be more viable options outside of brick tanking, and I think making armor repair modules a bit more desirable would help.

Buff shields regen rate and regen delays....then we can talk turkey about self armor reps.

In one minute, a caldari suit repairs 1680 HP

In one minute a Gallente suit repairs 495 HP with just one module.

I am pretty sure shield regen doesn't need a buff.

I haven't carried an armor repair module since 1.3

they are just too ineffective, it's better to just have more hp and find a repper hive or supply depot.

that said **** armor, i'm sick of them getting all the nice toys.

Proto should be 7. (Dont forget that skills makes it won 25% on it.)

Solution

Shields rep passively.
With 4 proto armor reps gal get a passive triage nanohive at 40-70
Caldari can reach 113 already with a few energizers
Armor should be able to do at least half that.

This is a great solution, IF shields regenned slowly and passively like they do on Eve's shield systems. Passive regen is slow, but using a shield booster can increase that rep amount by a lot. Armor regen rates (even with complex reppers) are a joke in Dust. Shield users have to hide for a few moments and have full shields. Armor users have to hide for a long time, rely on another person for reps or have to take up their equipment slot with a triage hive to have any meaningful regen. Shield suits on Dust, in effect, have a built in shield booster that very quickly reps their shields to full.

There's a reason people brick tank their armor suits. The reppers just aren't worth a slot, considering that they regen so slowly. CCP tried to spin that the repper is worth it since it regens "even under fire," but honestly, unless they're going to start producing weapons with 5 dps--FIVE--the fact that my suit reps for that amount is hardly relevant when a single round from a rifle hits for 30+ damage.
