It's the argument that shield tank QQers have been making all of this time. Maybe Piercing put it in a way that's more appealing but he's saying the same thing that everyone else is saying.

Plus, I don't understand how a 1v1 faceoff would be undetermined but a team of armor tankers would beat a team of shield tankers. ??

That doesn't mean anything.....maybe they think the Caldari scout looks the best. But why does he prefer gallente...ask yourself that?

Ferroscale plus triage nanohive......on par mobility, more hp, and superior regen/repair

You are making the assumption I am using a triage nanohive. Not everyone does this. I do not like to be pinned to one position and reliant on a single piece of equipment.

Furthermore if we are to make biased assumption to prove our points what if I ran out of triage nano hives? What If my opponent was an armour tanked caldari suit in addition to the shields, what if he was standing on a triage nanohive and also have 5 logi's supporting him?

You only have one piece of equipment and your role is assault.....why wouldn't you use triage nano if you had all ferroscale plates?

All of these are under assumptions of the more effective fits. People assume shield regen is better because they assume that people are using energizers and rechargers. but what if they are using all shields and the armor tanker has 25-30hp/sec reps?

Who's argument? I think that you haven't been paying attention to what I've been saying. Maybe selectively........

Piercing haven't said anything that I haven't said except for team based armor being better than team based shields.

I'm not sure how everyone can ignore the ability of an armor tanked suit to use damage mods and still tank their primary hp and say it's balanced.

That's only for quick reps if you need it. When it comes to cover, any suit has a chance. Because it's up to the player to be able to use it effectively. I don't know if everyone enjoys 5 min 1v1 battles. But I don't....if you take damage and go behind cover, I will chase you. If I took damage, I will try to regen or rep as much as I can before I come out again. So, it isn't like we're having a 1v1 until I run out of triage nanohives....that wouldn't be practical. Time it takes for someone to throw flux grenades at hives, they will be taking considerable damage.

Then you haven't been listening.

No it isn't.....read the thread title. Although I was just having fun when I posted this...it has turned into what it has turned into.

Fugg the shield regen mod or repair tool....give me damage mods in the low slots, then I'll stop the QQ

Who said it wouldn't apply to shields if armor tankers couldn't as well?

(Not that it may happen) But I suggested for damage mods to be available for high and low slots.

I wouldn't care.....you can have all of that if you wish. None of those would help in a straight up 1v1. They just aid in survivability.

Right...when I die because a guy runs faster than me, you'll be the first to know.
