Ccp just like to make better options even better. Armor is current meta. You can get 600+ armor with constant 30reps.

Movement/Signature pentaly on extenders will fk caldari/minmatar scout.
Ferroscales/Reactive are now giving more hp/hp+regen with almost no pentaly, and lower pg/cpu usage.

Not to mention they can stack strafe speed in their off tank slots

Cough dmg mods ..no tank penalty for armor users

These statements together are at odds with one another.

HP stacking will be more common, but TTK is lower? You leave cover with your stacked HP but die faster?

If strafing is toned down from being the ridiculous boogie bullet dodging the it is at the moment, we'll see people being more cautious about when they move: you can still sprint from cover to cover, but you won't be able to dance around in the open and actually be more likely to survive. I don't think that this is unreasonable at all.

In the past couple of weeks I've been running my MinAslt with PLC/Flaylock combo: many times I've survived because I have strafed ridiculously, but equally many enemies have survived because of ridiculous strafing dodging my explosions. Similarly, I've killed many by using my speed to confuse the enemy without strafing coming into play: charging past them and outpacing their turn speed up close before opening fire when I have the advantage - that's using speed, not dancing on the spot.

Kincats better give some ******* movement speed and strafe speed bonuses. Ill be rip **** if my minmitar suits are ruined because some people can't aim.

They are looking into myofibers giving strafe speed bonus possibly
