I don't think that this will be as significant a nerf to scouts as you think it might be perceived. Not to mention they are looking at armor penalties as well.
I think this is merely a way to take King HP down a notch by requiring a greater sacrifice.
I doubt shields will get near as hard as armor given how low they are compared within tiers to armor mods.

Well that is dumb, and doesn't make any sense but honestly I feel more for my assault and heavy than my damn scout. I'm tired of all the stupid strafing, especially from scouts but nerfing shields again is unwarranted. Do you have a link?

Weeeee planetside 2 is looking really good ccp. I don't really understand what you are saying. I apologized if I miss something but you have basically said something that is a non sequitur. I cannot see how a nerf to Scout will nerf Shield Tanking. It is not as if you said something along the lines of "Nerfing the Blaster is a nerf to a Tank's survivability." Please elaborate. They are adding a strafe speed penality to shield ext to try to nerf the cal scout If I read it right only the plates were getting a strafe reduction and shields were getting a profile increase

The idea would be to normalize the strafe penalty on HP added. Why would that be unfair? With Extenders granting lower HP than Plates, obviously we would be talking about way lower penalties. Dual brick tanking should, however, be extremely slowing.
Someone said, just make them all strafe slower, but that "is" punishing everyone for the sins of the few.
There were discussions among a few people about the profile penalty, but that was not from Rattati. Perhaps he decides to pick that idea up, but at this point Extenders would also get a strafing penalty, albeit smaller than armor.
