Ryme Intrinseca Fatal Absolution Dirt Nap Squad. 967	Posted - 2014.04.25 13:02:00 - [1] - Quote Just wondered who still uses infantry damage mods. The obvious categories are: - snipers - swarmers - heavies But are people still using them for their run and gun suits, and if so, with which suits and weapons? I find them hard to justify myself.

Still using them on Amarr Assault: both with the Laser and Scrambler rifle. -#Firmocosìperchènonhopersonalità
Vell0cet Dirt Nap Squad Dirt Nap Squad. 1443	Posted - 2014.04.25 13:09:00 - [3] - Quote I use them on my LR suits and to a smaller degree on my ScR suits. The overheat mechanism means you need to make each shot count, and the only way to boost your damage vs. stacked armor with a -20% laser profile is to have a couple damage mods. Best PvE idea ever!
Django Quik Dust2Dust. 2979	Posted - 2014.04.25 13:11:00 - [4] - Quote I have them on my gal scout combat suit because shield extenders are pretty worthless on it and the extra ~9% I can get on my breach ScP shots can make all the difference in those headshots - takes my shield headshots from 450% to 491%, which goes up to 540% with my prof 5 - that's 725 damage per shield headshot and somewhere around 500 damage per armor headshot. And of course they also apply to my SMG, which I run to back up the ScP :) And I use the light dmg mods for my swarms too. Dedicated sidearm scout - Watch out for that headshot Scout community is the nuts
Cpl Foster USMC Sniper Research Lab 760	Posted - 2014.04.25 13:12:00 - [5] - Quote yo...Sniper here....I got nerfed, but still use them. 4 now instead of 5. need to go back to 5. Semper Fidelis

The mod along with each racial weapon damage bonus added in with your prof skills really makes a deadly combo. Cal Commando + Rail Rifle FTW! Seriously though, they still help. Although there is no need to train passed the advanced mods. It costs way to much sp for an extra 1% damage. EDIT: Spelling, FML.
Jackal 006 Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 5	Posted - 2014.04.25 13:25:00 - [12] - Quote i sometimes use 4 on my cal scout with proto rr for revenge kills or stomper stomping lol
RayRay James Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 97	Posted - 2014.04.25 13:30:00 - [13] - Quote I still fit them, but mostly because I'm too lazy to go and change my fits
Sinboto Simmons SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 5969	Posted - 2014.04.25 13:32:00 - [14] - Quote For my MD on my advanced minja. Would be on proto but they're STILL in the highslot. Sinboto - The True Blood Minja Forum Warrior level 5 STB-Infantry (Demolition)
IceShifter Childhaspawn DUST University Ivy League 568	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:19:00 - [15] - Quote They only really shine on high alpha or high ROF weapons. Any other and you are better off with something else. I tend not to fit a tank because there is no regularity in the incoming damage anymore. Either you die before you can react or the damage is minimal and you can run away. Sounds like an obvious statement, but there used to be a middle ground where one could have a firefight. EP 1.8: Revenge of the Scouts Hiding in the redline means: I want to play, just not with *you* +25 = I'm helping
Jack McReady DUST University Ivy League 1359	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:22:00 - [16] - Quote I use them on all types of heavy frames only. all other suits get more bang for their buck from more HP unless you are really sitting somewhere at the redline sniping.
Rifter7 Ancient Exiles. 405	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:23:00 - [17] - Quote i use them. Primus sucks.
Awry Barux Ametat Security Amarr Empire 2138	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:24:00 - [18] - Quote I use them on my Commando alt and for sniping. Otherwise it's either precision enhancers or shields always. Nerdier than thou
pyramidhead 420 Carbon 7 Iron Oxide. 456	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:34:00 - [19] - Quote to you fools saying I use 4 or 5. it was useless to use more than 3 mods on one suit, with the old damage mod numbers. the nerf makes those people look worse, because now they think if they add MORE mods they can make up for lost damage...smg. 2 or 3 percent extra damage, doesn't mean jack in a shooter where the ttk is so low. the quee...im mean snipers, are the only people who can justify more than 3 , only because they are b!tch azz pu$$ies who sit in the red line and need zero tank or precision
Kam Elto KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 276	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:45:00 - [20] - Quote CCP needs to remove the stacking penalties on damage mods. Or buff them a bit.

RYN0CER0S Rise Of Old Dudes 4	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:52:00 - [21] - Quote I use them on my M209 G-Scout because that's all I know to put in the Highs.
Master Smurf Nos Nothi 371	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:56:00 - [22] - Quote Trying to embrace my glass cannon so I still use them on some fits. Go ahead CCP - Give the Minmatar a PG fitting reduction or an efficacy bonus to them "Shine bright like a diamond"
Hecarim Van Hohen 1197	Posted - 2014.04.25 14:56:00 - [23] - Quote My Amarr sentinel uses damage modifiers on high slot(s) for both HMG and the FG "Now I am become Dev, the locker of threads." -CCP Logibro t¢«

Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 1182	Posted - 2014.04.25 15:23:00 - [27] - Quote Use one on all my Min Assaults. Just to help break heavy shield suits One also on my Heavy, similar reason, only one cus I prefer to have my shields recharge faster between engagements. None on my Logi / Scout. I need all the protection I can get. "...and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death."

Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic 919	Posted - 2014.04.25 15:36:00 - [32] - Quote Still quite useful on a commando since Dust compounds each stat. Need lvl 5 commando though. So a commando gets 5.5% from the first mod and 5%ish from the second mod. Still doesn't make them worth the fitting costs, which in my opinion needs lowered if we are staying with the 3,4,5%'
Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 12703	Posted - 2014.04.25 15:42:00 - [33] - Quote I'd rather have a significant amount more tank than 5% more damage. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. EUrobro

If I wanted advanced damage mods, I never would have skilled into proto Exactly. The only DMG mod users who were really affected were the complex DMG mod users. Big waste of SP. Oh well, "welcome to New Eden... blah blah blah" :) Seriously though, I'll always find ways to enjoy the game, having spent too much RL money to ever give up on it. Gÿó +¦ +¦ Gÿó Trained Skills

The obvious categories are: - snipers - swarmers - heavies But are people still using them for their run and gun suits, and if so, with which suits and weapons? I find them hard to justify myself. Sentinels get more benefit out of fitting additional shield mods, unless they are forge gunning. Bonus to resistance feeds into the extra HP. Commandos, minmatar and caldari specifically, benefit greatly from damage mods.

Commandos, minmatar and caldari specifically, benefit greatly from damage mods. I put a damage mod on my gk.0 heavy because its 5% extra damage versus 3 or 4% extra ehp for the extender (70-80ish ehp out of 1800 total ehp). But i can see your point of view. You can go either way with hmg really.

I remember 5 in the old days. On a charge sniper rifle. Damn. Yep, that is what I was running. because of stacking penalties, I ran 3 complex and 2 advanced with my Charge. It was a brutal weapon. Then they decided to nerf it to the 3-4-5% so instead of my 35 ish % bonus, I'm getting 20ish%. It made a HUGE difference when talking a 1 shot at a time weapon.
dullrust Subsonic Synthesis RISE of LEGION 65	Posted - 2014.04.26 05:48:00 - [50] - Quote It's not that they are not worth it. It is more a case of is it worth more than a shield for your playstyle with that suit. I am nobody.

Lynn Beck Wake N' Bake Inc Top Men. 1266	Posted - 2014.04.26 05:55:00 - [51] - Quote On my minmatar assualt i use them. When i'm proto again it'll be 3. My minja uses 1 at complex on an advanced suit. My Minmatar Hmg heavy uses them. My laser rifle scout uses a Complex. My commandoes... They all use them. General John Ripper Like ALL the things!!!
Dovallis Martan JenusKoll Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 736	Posted - 2014.04.26 06:34:00 - [52] - Quote TheDarthMa94 wrote: CCP should buff Damage Mods to : STD - 3% ADV - 5% PRO - 7% Instead of : STD - 3% ADV - 4% PRO - 5% this make the complex not worth it and a bit useless in my opinion There is a step in between those, which is reducing the stacking penalty for damage modules. If stacking penalty was reduced to 100% 90% 80% 70%, then the 5% would seem a bit more potent. But as I do not use damage mods myself, I don't know if this would negatively impact combat time. By that I mean, I'm one who is inclined more to liking decision making while in combat as opposed to "first to land bullet is first to kill" methodology that many people seem to be preaching. If you can read this, it means you are reading. Unless you are skimming
