Gentlemen, gentlemen.

The point of this thread was to make a point about how shield weapons are harder hitters in every way than armor weapons.

We all know that shield tanking is worse than armor tanking, so lets talk about the issue at hand.

No, it's not. People don't know how to fit shield suits.

If shield suits weren't heavy hitters like their armor counterparts(because every other weapon is an anti-armor weapons) then shields would become the stronger tank. If someone is using an anti-shield weapon shields should be butter, just like how people who use anti-armor weapons cut it like butter.

The reason that armor suits seem more durable is because armor is meant to tank damage. Whereas shield suits are supposed to refrain from taking too much damage or their regen, their defining characteristic, becomes moot.

If you do know how to fit a shield suit I'd imagine this is just another silly attempt to lobby for another buff that shields do not need.

And then CCP says: "LETS BUFF ANTI SHIELD WEAPONS!!!!" "Yeah, skilled players relying on suits that have slightly more regen at the cost of much less HP are killing pub scrubs. Something needs to be done." "MAKE ONLY SCRUBS VIABLE!!!!!" "...Sure..." edit: this doesn't include the HMG, which isn't even an anti armor/shield weapon--its more of a "I see yo..oh sorry, you're dead" weapon. "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms.

I'm not an Amarr Sentinal by any means, whoever is your information broker should be fired, from a cannon. 2. simply very simply The principles used in these fittings can be applied to their min counterparts as well. We don't have enough buffer to be able to fully shield tank. We have a ****** dual tank instead, which is annoying, but whatever. "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms.
