"Armor plates
STD/ADV/PRO from 85/110/135 to 60/80/100"

Awesome, but you should normalize ferroscale plates' and reactives as a consequence of this or everyone will just put complex ferroscale plates that cost way less than armor plates in terms of PG and CPU and give you no movement penalties, at the cost of 25 hp.

STD plate - 60 HP, costs 9 CPU and 3 PG, 3% penalty
Complex Ferroscale - 75 HP, 23 CPU and 8 PG, no penalty

You pay 14 CPU and 5PG for an extra 15HP and -3% penalty.

Seriously, armor tankers use Damage Mods because that's ALL they can really use.

Actually, on that topic, you might notice Cat was a proponent of the ORIGINAL passive scan changes that would have made it viable to put some Precision Enhancers on Medium suits to help them see better, but that one got shouted down, meaning Damage Mods are still the only slot to put in Highs.

Also, shield suits have as much native HP regen as an armor suit gets through the use of THREE Complex Repair modules without fitting a single module at all, and you can easily boost that with a single Energizer and Regulator.

I skilled first into C/1 Assault, and use a fit with Extenders, a single Energizer, and a single Regulator. That enables me to fully regen my primary HP in SECONDS just by ducking out of the line of fire.

Let's also not forget that shield tankers are protesting the idea of Shield Extenders having a strafe penalty while the shield penalty can be fully countered with a SINGLE module, and the armor penalty cannot be countered at all. Kinetic Catalyzers only boost your Sprint speed, so when your Stamina is gone you're left at a crawl until it regenerates.

Back off the anti-armor crusade a little, buddy.

Sick of shieldtanksthatdontknowhowtofitashieldtanksotheycomplainaboutarmor meta

Wanna talk about PG and CPU?
Our 54/11 to your 23/8, with the same amount of HP lol, and we even have a penalty. -not comparing to armor plates because quite none uses them outside of heavies and scrub assaults and it's gonna be even worse.
Than Damage mods > all.

EDIT: I often have min logis with their ******* reps on my cal assault farming WP on my kills, no idea of what matches you are playing.

So, basically... I have 80 less armor than you have shields.
Clearly that's not a good reason to have 30hp/s.
And your shield regen is still 22hp/s higher.
Put on a reg and those delays become lol.

ASCR needs love and the Burst, any users that want to get their weapons buffed?

Because they shouldn't be nerfed?

Yeah because this scenario happens all the time , also your range is probably 30-40M, since the breach does almost half it's dps at that range. Also if your energized is only getting you from 30-45, it means your shield skills are low or you are using a non proto suit, if the guy you fight had 4 hives he is in a proto suit... Just saying.

I'm honestly baffled that nerfing strafe speeds is something that's on the table. Effective strafing is the only way a low HP suit can outplay brick-tanked Sentinels. Last I checked this was an FPS not a turn-based RPG. You seriously want to make the game more slow paced and ultimately easier for HMGs and laser-accurate Breach ARs?

I just don't know anymore. I've stuck with this game a long time. Nerfing movement speed is just something that makes me entirely lose faith.

Notice how when he move side to side his character slows down, instead of changing directions instantly. That is th only problem with strafing in dust. Strafing is a nice fps mechanic, but you need the proper physics for it which dust lacks. Because of that we have to fix strafing by some means, the alternative being the speed.

I actually forgot to write the HMG nerf, in the form of heat, again.

Removing headshot bonus is actually something we can look at too, but that eliminates skill in heavy vs heavy. So many times am I bested by someone that knows how to aim, don't want to mess with that.

Managing heat is the way to go to reward skill, you want to get that window of opportunity during the animation to get your kill.
