also remember that the minmatar are dual tankers as well so depending on the suit it will be either better shield tanked or armor tanked.

Purely dual tanked Caldari gets the highest EHP actually

Hmmm this may be true for the heavy because of the odd slot layout but with new buffed amarr assault both the amarr scout and assault can out ehp their gallente counterpart.

Also if you lower the ehp of gal assaults and scout you would indirectly buff the gal suits is already stupid that those caldari shield tanker have the same ehp than us slow regen armor tankers and now you want to gimp us even more without touching the cals??


In terms of base ehP is should be lowest to highest (obvious with min the lowest amarr the highest):
min < cal < gal < amarr

What I agree to is the difference between gal and amarr is not big enough there fore I would suggest to give Amarr slightly more armor and a different slot layout.

The amarr should be really focused on low slots while gallente should have a more balanced approach:
e.g:
amarr scout 1/5 vs gal scout 2/4
amarr assault 2/5 vs gal 3/4
amarr sentinel 1/5 vs 2/3

This combined with a small armor buff should be enough to make amarr the buffer tanker.

The amarr scout can out ehp the gal scout by roughly 100 or 200 ehp as the amarr scout is the only one that can achieve 1000ehp +

the gal can get 900 ehp and the dual tanked cal 800 ehp if i remember correctly

That would be Amarr.

I like Gallente suits having fast repair, but built-in repair just allows for the fitting of more armor plates, like with the gal scout.

Then you would have to give the Caldari bonuses to extenders and the Minmatar a bonus to regulators.

If we say that the bonus is 5% per level (25% maxed) lets see what a fit might look like for each:

Gallente assault: 3H/4L
C. Extender x3 (because damage mods aren't good enough) +217 shields
C. Armor Plate x2 +297 armor
C. Armor Rep x2 +23.44 armor reps
Total: 367 shields, 559 armor, and 25.44 reps

Amarr assault: 3H/4L
C. Extender x3: +217 shields
C. Armor Plate x4: +743 armor
Total: 436 shields and 1,043 armor

Caldari assault: 4H/3L
C. Extender x4: +363 shields
C. Regulator x1: 35% reduce delay
C. Reactive Plate x2: +132 armor, +4 reps
Total: 626 shields, 3.25 delay, 5.1 depleted, 30 rate, 282 armor, 4 armor reps

Minmatar assault: 5H/2L
C. Extender x3: +218 shields
C. Energizer x2:
C. Regulator x1:
C. CPU x1
Total: Shields 384 shields, 3.9 delay, 6.4 depleted, 87 rate, 167 armor

Although I think the Caldari and Minmatar should switch base shield recharge stats. So Minmatar has a base 30 recharge with a 5 delay, and 6 depleted while the Caldari have 25 recharge with 6 delay and 8 depleted.

Thoughts?

Gallente are also speedy, though they use bursts of speed rather than constant speed like the Minmatar.

MWD to get cloes to the enemy, then blast them with the most powerful short range weaponry.
