It's going to break the balance we finally have in weapons.
AV will become too powerful.
All rifles will become OP.
Seriously, let's "fix" something that ain't broke.

Well what do you propose instead?
There are too few useful high slot modules, especially if you happen to prefer armor tanking.
I don't think 3/5/7 or 3/5/8 will be so game breaking. Remember that weapon proficiency was changed as well.
What happened to the repair tool glow?
Why won't CCP answer?

I haven't AV'd lately, but 2x hardner 1x extender or 2hardner/rep can tank my Ammo 3, Prof 3, Commando 5(min)'s all 9 shots, requiring a nanohive to kill.
Of course, that's tanks.
As for DSes, armor dropships are (rightfully) possible to kill, while Shield Dses are mildly more difficult.
Lav's should all die in 2 volleys, as they do currently.
Also of note: i am ALWAYS using a Wyrrkomi Swarm, even on my Adv Galscout(coupled with Ex-11 nades, f/45 remotes, and a K-2 nano)

Typical difference between tiers of weapons is 5% damage, I think a prototype module which replicates bumping your weapon a tier is very reasonable. 5% for Proto Damage mod is fine.
Like my ideas?

I don't think 3/5/7 or 3/5/8 will be so game breaking. Remember that weapon proficiency was changed as well. Lower CPU/PG consumption. 3/4/6 would be ok, I suppose but anymore. Could break them. We may not have a lot of highslot mods to choose from, but let's not make the dmg mod the only one to choose.

Though the only thing that would make dual tanking the "only option" is if Damage Modifiers were OP.

If there were no stacking penalty damage mods would be fine because you could get 10% more damage, but at the cost of 132 sHP. A module isn't balanced if it isn't worth stacking. Kincat's stacking penalty doesn't undercut it to the point that the second and third module is useless, and neither should any other module.
I'm not saying do away with the stacking penalty altogether, but an alternate option to increasing the power of individual modules is to greatly reduce their stacking penalty so that you are properly incentivized to sacrifice sHP for them.

Starting to think that Damage Mods in low slots and some sort of Rate of Fire enhancer in the High slot would be the best way to go.
They would functionally do the same thing, increasing your DPS, but change it so that Caldari favor long range, DPC efficient, and high alpha engagements where shields would shine... fitting the Caldari efficiency lore quite nicely while armor tankers would increase dps through CQC oriented RoF increase. Minmatar would likely continue to maintain some form of balance with their layouts, probably preferring damage mods when using Minmatar weaponry, as CRs have little use for additional RoF. RoF enhancer would also be generally undesireable for Caldari weaponry, as they would suffer from increased kick while ADS which is harder to overcome through trigger feathering, unlike the Plasma rifle.
In either case, you can continue to dual tank if you like but you'll be missing out on some sort of DPS enhancement. Of which armor and shield tankers now have an equal option for improvement.
If you wanna go all out you can even equip both and just flat out attempt to out-dps your opponents... but as long as neither damage option is theoretically favorable to some form of hp modification it shouldn't be a problem. In this case I would suggest a 3-5-7 progression.

Swarm launchers don't need any more damn buffs, a single clip will down almost every Incubus build you can make if you don't spend the whole match flying away, and that's not even considering dual SL commandos. They're more than fine as is.

Agree very much.
As it stands, if you put two dropsuits in a white room together and made every bullet hit each other, the only way damage mods are more effective than shield extenders is if you can do the DPS of a Combat Rifle or higher.
CRs and projectile weapons in general need a change before ANYTHING is done to damage mods again.
Imagine the HMG QQ exponentially higher.
Eventually the Dust community is going to nerf itself into nonexistance. Please don't ruin heavies CCP.
