Any other shied users that wish to comment?

The thing about assault Cal is..

You are doing it wrong. THe true strength is SHIELD REGEN.

My CK.0 Scout
1 cx Shield energizer
1 enh shield energizer
1 cx Shield recharger
2 cx shield extenders
2 cx reactive plates
1 cx ferroscale

i have around 450 shields + 400 armor

I have 105 Shield regen rate per sec and 7.5 armor rep per sec.

Guaranteed OP. (at distance.)

(A more balanced fit)
1 cx dam mods
2 cx shield energizers
2 shield extenders
1 cx armor rep
2 cx ferroscales

I hate to break it to you but shields have a delay when they are depleted or taking damage. If you take just 1 HP of damage your shields will stop regenerating. You can stack all you want in the regen section but all that does is nothing when taking damage. Armor reps no matter if you are behind cover or not. Shields stop regenerating each time they take damage. One flux and your done for or a Viz ScR will melt you. I am going to replicate your suit and I will see how well it does. By the way what weapon do you use for I know running all the shield mods is going to drain your CPU and PG easily.

Because laughing as a CR using scout tries to drop my shields and able to have the advantage of my shields to survive HMGs, CRs, RRs is far more worth it to me than having a mod to increase resistance for my shields. Now do i hate running into a SCR or AR? You better believe it. That is why i dual tank. Ferroscales, Shields, rechargers, energizers, to regen as quick so when i pop out from cover, mind you if the bastard threw a flux, i can be at full health in no time. Plus i hate being slow gal or amarr. Zig-zaging to cover is life for cal and min. Amarr and Gal can just stand there and laugh at you.

2Berries Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 429	Posted - 2014.12.05 20:26:00 - [6] - Quote There is a huge bias against shields & noting the recharge time vs. armor regen time is apples to oranges, which is my guess as to where this conversation will lead. There are a lot of options for instantly taking down shields & no comparible armor options. Evej more worrisome is the changes to OB's in line for 1.10. EMP strikes at rock bottom wp prices are going to decimate any & all shield based suits. My usual fit (std cal scout) has around 305 ehp, with only 86 armor. I know what i'm getting into running at these levels and play accordingly (don't act surprised when i get OHK'd) but i don't see many others who are forced to deal with similar problems. OB's, FG's & PLC's can OHK all, they are not race specific killers like the SCR or LR. Hell, even locus nades still have to go through shields before they start eating away armor where a flux will instantly leave you with your pants down. Hit & run from cover tactics that are required for shield based fits also don't finish opponents like an armor baed suit who can stand to take some hits. Everyone knows there is no wp's for annoying enemies. Have you considered a career in costumed aggression?

shaman oga T.H.I.R.D R.O.C.K 3371	Posted - 2014.12.05 20:34:00 - [8] - Quote Shield and armor tankers have 2 different way of playing the game, if you don't feel good with shield then go armor tank. Armor tank do well with aggressive playstyle, shield tank is better for reasoned-tactical playstyle. Good luck at killing a shield tanker which waits for armor tankers to go first, he will probably steal all their kills coming from behind. Situational awareness also known as passive scan.

You know stupid that sounds as an excuse right. Open areas are the best place to engage scouts because they can't run behind cover and ambush you. Both Armor and Shields have pros and cons. If people used the pros of shield tanking to their advantage instead of just bitching about armor the amount of these Shield QQ threads would be far less in frequency. The only thing shields by itself need is a damage threshold so one small tick of damage won't stop it's regeneration, a module to increase the damage threshold might be cool as well.

Meeko Fent Kirkinen Risk Control Caldari State 2207	Posted - 2014.12.06 00:39:00 - [21] - Quote A bricked Shield suit is pretty good. A Regen Shield suit so Ok, if you play to its play-style. I am annoyed w/ how people say that shield is SUPPOSED to be weak for frontline fighting, completely ignoring the fact that you HAVE to fight the frontlines in order to hack the cannons. Its a set up to fail compared to the Gallente or Amarr who are designed for CQC, point fighting, which you HAVE to do in order to win matches. A Match of 6 Caldari Assaults decked out in regen fits PROLLY wouldn't win over a Set of 5 GalSalts and a GalLogi fitted with armor and dmg mods in the highs. Most likely not. They can win in CQC, which is all that really matters in the current maps, and their logi will simply rep them, giving them regen superior to the Shields, and with better damage. While you could say that "Teamwork Prevails", I'd say we don't even have the option for that support. I don't get that extra bonus for teaming. I get a suit that would be better suited for solo play then taking full advantage of the squad system. I Live for Tears

Capacitor and ECM. Neither exist in this game and therefore make the whole Caldari shield thing useless. With a capacitor, shield mods can become active, largely permanent and therefore powerful. Also, ECM makes shields viable in close quarters. It is literally the basis of shield use in close quarters. I'm better than laser focused; I'm hybrid focused.

The problem with my set up is I have to rely solely on my Proficiency 5 RR-SMG to deal acceptable damage. So my play style is aggressive defense on skirmish or tactical defense on domination.
