Do you remember tanking before 1.7? When maddy was tanking armor and gunnlogi was tanking shield and not armor like now.
There were two reason for that, one was technical, the gunnlogi didn't have enough PG to tank armor, the other was damage mods, they were only passive and were on the low slots.
Since gunnlogi was weak because it's stats and because under powered shield modules (that was unmbalanced) the only viable option was to stack damage mods and harvest tears in the shortest time possible.

So, here the heresy.
What would it be if INFANTRY damage mods were low slot modules?
(and of course put some other module in high slot in exchange)

I think it would be more balanced than now, shield tank grant less HP and those HP are the first to go away when enemies hit you.
This would make impossible for armor tankers to stack both very high HP and high DPS, but also make armor tank less desiderable for shield based suits.

In exchange i would put cardiac regulators and code breakers on high slot modules to give something that is not a shield extender to armor tankers, they would choose to improve their stamina which makes sense if they are slowed by armor plates or code breakers.

I have posted this on Cyrus Grevare's Protofits thread, i hope he see this and accept to do this, to help us evaluate a change like this.

Thanks

Shield tankers are/will be lower hp/lower dps suits in Dust.


Nvm. Im specing amarr assault after charlie.
Ill have around 950ehp (650-700armor) with 20reps, 7m/s+ speed with Allotek hives and ScR.
Damn. Not even armor tanker gonna survive.

Ever since armor plates got a buff, true shield tanking has been a bad way to go, simply because it requires a lot more skill for a lot less reward.

In the current iteration of the game, shield and armor tanking are almost balanced, but the damage mod buff and Am Assault FoTM will cause it to completely die.

Again.

And that statement right there is why combat and rail rifles will continue to not be nerfed. We will likely see a resurgence in the use of mass drivers as well with the assault buff. Flux/grenade launcher combo is hilarious.

Rail and CR chop amarr and gallente suits into chutney.

I came to this post thinking it was a tanker post and kept reading because he was using all the words to describe tankers. but then he brings up some infantry BS.

Just another scout that wants to slay.

Oh okay cool, so Cal Assaults can have 700 shields, 7 meter sprint speed, and 3 damage mods... not OP at all.

The RR has the lowest DPS of any rifle in the game, save the ACR.

The CR has lower DPS than any other non-auto rifle, other than the TAR (possibly, though i don't believe so anymore)

ScR can get off more rounds before it overheats than the CR has bursts in its clip.

The AR is a CQC monster with its high clip size, high DPS, very high RoF, great hip fire, and spray-and pray capabilities.

This thread is a joke
