DUST Search - Shield Energizes vs Shield Regulators

I'm going to disagree a bit with my fellow mercs here. I mean, they are right, it's pretty awesome. But I prefer to have a bit more shield buffer with recharge being my secondary focus.

So I DON'T recommend Energizers. That high could be filled with an extender or a recharger. I go with the regulators. It's in the low and unless you run a kin katt or an armor repper (I stopped running armor reppers when suits got native armor regen) you can get your recharge delay pretty low without sacrificing any hp. For me, I find that using my low to lower delay is way better than using my high.

The only reason I say the above is that sometimes you get caught out without cover or flanked while in cover. That extra bit of HP may keep you alive long enough to get around a corner/behind different cover and start regenning. You are STILL very fast on regen. So I do the above to get a bit more flexibility out of my shield suit.

However, if you are in an area with tons of cover and you aren't likely to get flanked then the above fits by the other mercs are better.

Gimme your inputs please
Atiim Titans of Phoenix 14552	Posted - 2014.12.17 23:18:00 - [2] - Quote Well for starters, Shield Enegizers are HS Modules while Shield Regs are low Slot Modules, so you can use both without doing that much damage to your Shield HP. That aside, for a pure Shield Tank it's best to run 1 Energizer and 2 Regulators. The 1st Matari Commando -HAND

Run a combo of biotics, eWAR, regen and HP, and it becomes amazing. "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms. FA's Shotgunning T-Dome Champ I piss Remote Explosives and shit Shotgun shells.

Cody Sietz Random Gunz RISE of LEGION 4258	Posted - 2014.12.18 18:23:00 - [15] - Quote iirc a complex shield energizer gives a CalAssault 50 shield repair per sec. Combine that with 2 regs and you have a 3 second delay. Pretty beneficial at the cost of 70 shield and 2 low slots. Edit: just checked and a Minmatar assault gets back 43 shields per sec with a 3.5 second depleted shield delay. Not too shabby. I recommend at least 1 regulator and 1 energizer.

Auris Lionesse Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 1315	Posted - 2014.12.18 18:36:00 - [16] - Quote regs are definitely worth it. i prefer rechargers over an energizer. a proto energizer isnt worth the hp cost imo for a small recharge boost. 7% is alot, unless theyve been buffed. go adv energizer or proto recharger. you should always have at least 1 proto regulator on any shield suit. you cant have enough of them.

But you only have to stay behind cover an extra second to second and a half. And you get back shields at a faster rate. Depends on how long you think you can stay behind cover really.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 20431	Posted - 2014.12.19 23:51:00 - [19] - Quote Dual regulators + an energiser gives you an incredibly solid regen base. It'll take a Calassault down to a 2s shield delay with over 50 HP/s regen. Although you may not be at the proto tier yet, you can also get 630 shields and a kincat on this type of fit, which ends up working really well because you have a decent buffer and if you need to retreat to regen you have all the tools to do so very effectively. It might be a playstyle thing, though. I prefer a more mobile playstyle. Sometimes, one just has an overwhelming urge to throw a potato at someone.

Best suit i've used so far. 3x complex regs with max sills is 1.6 seconds should be lower imo. i think the old cal logi reached .5 regen with 4 proto regs and the old regulator logi bonus. thats what the cal assault should be. ideally passive.
