General12912 Gallente Marine Corps 224	Posted - 2014.12.20 16:03:00 - [1] - Quote i think the reason why some think the shield weapons are so strong is becuse it rips through that first layer of HP (shields) pretty quickly. for a shield tanker, their main HP type, shields, is the first thing to go. the armor tanker goes through their main HP type, armor, second. so when you fire, lets say, an SCR at a Caldari, the damage dealt is boosted and then resisted once you hit the armor layer, whereas if you shoot a at an Amarr, the damage is resisted and then boosted. its almost like a nut in a shell. now, lets look at the weapon characteristics SCR: most effective against shields, but high damage all around, so it seems like not as much damage is resisted vs armor. this is to counter Minmatar, who lean towards dual tanking. CR: Least effective vs shields, but most effective towards armor. however, this doesnt seem to be noticed as much because per shot, projectile weapons dont deal much damage per shot anyways. its more about spamming shots. it takes more individual shots to kill foes, this is why the Min Assault has a projectile weapon ammo boost. due to the low damage per shot, and resistance faced by shields, the damage is dealt at an even lower damage per shot ratio towards shield tankers. Hybrid weapons: ever remember reading the hint while the game is loading that hybrid weapons deal as much damage to shields and armor? this is a lie now because there are no pure hybrid weapons. they are now Hybrid-rail or Hybrid-blaster weapons. the idea is that hybrid-blaster weapons arent as effective against shields (damage profile-wise) as laser weapons, but face less resistance vs armor and vice-versa for hybrid-rail weapons and their Anti-armor counterpart, Projectile weapons. AR: a Hybrid-blaster rifle. damage is supposed to be distributed in a fashion similar to the CR, but at a less exagggerated rate. RR: a hybrid-rail rifle. damage is distributed at a rof that is slower than the AR. its supposed to suit its range, as its supposed to fit the more calm, tactical surpression style while the AR fits more of a, if i may, "CHARGE!!!!" style.
