Jacques Cayton II Kaalmayoti Warzone Control 1271	Posted - 2014.12.21 14:46:00 - [1] - Quote It'd be cool to have resistance mods and all and I've given it some thought. Let each mod give you somewhere to 10%-20% with a resistance to a certian damage type, penalties can be hard to fit and skilling into it can lower the cpu or pg respectively. Armor resistance modules would be in the high slots and shield resistance modules in the low slots. This way armor guys dont have to use nothing but damage mods. Also if someone has a maxed proficiency it can nullify this resistance module so shouldn't be op. Also i think a shield rep tool should basically be a super regulator that just kickstarts delays of suits with triage points for each kickstart. Could be op with one more logi but the armor rep with two logis is ridiculous pretty op to. We fight for the future of the State not our personal goals

Something like this : Complex projectile resistance mod resist projectile weapons by 20% increase damage taken by explosive weapons by 20% I like pie do you like pie because i hate pie & I like muffins.

Absolutely correct. The opportunity cost is that you could have used that module to be general purpose and help in all situations like more HP or more Damage. Instead you trade it off for a specific benefit, while being more effective than a general purpose module, doesn't get utilized as much. My Federation Navy Comet has +80% resistance to Kinetic weaponry. That's great if I'm fighting against rails and Kinetic Missiles, but that's always nearly not that case, only with missioning against NPCs I know will have that damage profile is it the most useful. CCP holds the Caldari's hand so this doesn't happen again.

That would be an utterly trash deal to take in a PVP setting. Completely useless module. I could understand if the game had predictable PVE enemies, but the weapons your PVP enemies use are for all intents and purposes, random. And having a resistance fit set up for every situation would just be impractical. Why would I use that module, when I could just equip a Normal HP mod that would increase my HP by 15-20% with much less crippling drawbacks?

ADAM-OF-EVE Dead Man's Game RUST415 1778	Posted - 2014.12.21 18:57:00 - [12] - Quote i would prefer something along the lines of https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Reactive_Armor_Hardener . where the enemy team is heavy in 1 damage type due to FOTM this would boost your resistances to that damage type. if the enemy is using multiple damage types then you would get a smaller resist amount obviously the percentages would have to be tweaked but it offers up a far better solution than a massive increase to one and a massive decrease to another.

But for overall resist mods (omni resists) anything over 10-12% would be excessive as hell. For single-damage resists you could go upwards of 15-18% before you break the calculations. the way CCP sets up their calculations it is literally impossible to get 100% resists in any category. I think the highest I have personally seen in EVE was 82%? But that was active tank resist mods, not passive. Actives give MUCH higher values. Edit: I need to redo my math. Generally a omni resist module is ROUGHLY equivalent to the module used to add raw HP like plates or extenders. So a resist mod for omni would be roughly equivalent EHP to a plate or an extender. It just means you're more able to take advantage of reps easily. HP stacking for holding the line, resists work best for regen builds.

I'd be a fool not to on the ships I fly. Corp Tormentor uses an Adaptive Nano Plate , my Retribution uses a Thermic Rig and an even better Nanoplate, my Confessor uses Nanoplates, almost all the ships I've ever used bar kiting ships use Nanoplate, Energized Plates, or depending on whether or not I know the source of my opponents primary damage the individual resistance plates themselves. 690.75 armour with say 10% armour resistances vs all damage types (or specific I don't know which kind you refer to) roughly 760 eHP unmodified, partially nullifies the damage of weapons that do increased damage vs me, and even further reduces the effectiveness of the wrong kind of weapons while not compromising my eHP at all....... why would I not stack one of those? *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 5915	Posted - 2014.12.22 09:01:00 - [29] - Quote Jace I think adding resistance mods would natively require a rework the sentinel defenses again. Also you have to remember that the amarr rail resistance is on the shields, which means the amsent isn't as cut and dried as you might think. The Sentinel suits won't gain as much traction as one might think. The downside to resists is the fact that if you stack resists you sacrifice HP. This is a big deal. Stacking plates you can get away with buffer tanking. With resists you cannot get away with it as well. You become dependent upon reps. Further because as resists are no-drawback they need to provide less overall HP than plates. I'm on the fence about how to balance them against extenders because you can spike shield regen through the roof. For single-damage type hardeners it needs to cap at about 20% ish. Since three plates can almost double your EHP triple stacking hardeners should provide less benefit to raw EHP while providing solid protection vs. Specific damage. Remember plates protect against everything. But if you four-stack projectile resists to fight other sentinels you will be leaving yourself untanked vs. Rails AR and lasers. In short yer dead. EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

An amarr heavy has wahat 1 high slot? Thats sooooooo op. Same goes for Caldari heavy 1 low slot 4 highs no room for resistance modules it was a joke lol I was showing that the amarr heavy would not be op. if the caldari heavy stacked all armor resist on the high slots that the limited armor it can stack would help them when they are fluxed. armor resist mods on high slot shields on low each have resist in these hybrid - blasters, hybrid- railgun, laser weapons, projectile weapons.

Since three plates can almost double your EHP triple stacking hardeners should provide less benefit to raw EHP while providing solid protection vs. Specific damage. Remember plates protect against everything. But if you four-stack projectile resists to fight other sentinels you will be leaving yourself untanked vs. Rails AR and lasers.

Oh dear Christ no. No no no no no. If they want to have resists they must sacrifice HP mods. putting armor resists in high and shield resists in low is the WORST way to balance the mods. Hands down, WORST. It needs to be madee so that if you fit a resist module you must sacrifice a slot reserved for HP or regen of your tank type. Otherwise you've just made sentinels even MORE disgustingly hard to kill and you give the assaults current sentinel level EHP.

Thank you for saying it! I can't stand True when he does that ****. Things that work well in EVE, like resistance modules, just won't work in Dust. Let me ask all you "Dust should be just like EVE" guys out there something. Would you even entertain the idea of equipping resistance modules if you knew you were going to be in a 16v16 battle where the enemy is using a practically random assortment of weapons? What if the alternative (standard HP mods) gave as much relative HP as they do in Dust, where a single plate can boost HP by up to 50%? Someone's gotta tell the stupids that their ideas are bad, and I guess it's my job...
Fizzer XCIV Heaven's Lost Property Negative-Feedback 1497	Posted - 2014.12.23 05:58:00 - [39] - Quote Let me just do a little bit of math to prove that even 15% of flat resistance would be pretty much useless on anything but Gallente and Amarr Sentinels. An Amarr Assault with 4 complex Armor Plates(already a shitfit, but I'm using an extreme example to get my point across), has about 990 Armor. A 15% omni resistance module would raise that HP to be effectively 1160. Only 22 more HP than just another Plate would add. About 170 HP... But let's think for a moment. That fit would have no repair modules, and would take almost 8 minutes to fully repair. Useless. So obviously, we are going to need to remove an armor plate or 2 to have a repairer or 2... Let's say we make room for 2 repairers. This will result in a much more effective repair rate. But it cuts our Armor HP down to 690. Now our Resistance module only adds 121 HP worth of resistance! Might as well just equip an Enhanced Armor Plate, which will add almost the exact same amount of HP, instead of wasting the PG/CPU to fit a Complex mod. TL;DR Even 15% of flat resistance would be pracically useless on all but Armor Heavies, and they don't really need a buff.

A Complex mod should be a bit better than an enhanced one. I say 15% omni resistance is fine then! Just scale it down from there! Same scale as the Plates!

On a Calassault with 4 Complex Extenders, a 15% Resistance mod would actually provide 107.5 HP worth of HP, which is 148.1% more efficient than a Complex extender, with none of the drawbacks. They would have to be reworked here since Shields and Armor work differently than they do in EVE. Someone's gotta tell the stupids that their ideas are bad, and I guess it's my job...
Fizzer XCIV Heaven's Lost Property Negative-Feedback 1498	Posted - 2014.12.23 07:53:00 - [44] - Quote All right, I did some math. Let's say we continue the same trend we did with the Armor ones, where a Complex Resistance mod is only a little better than a Complex HP mod when you already have 4 of the HP mods on the corresponding Assault suit, Cal assault in this case. So, a Calassault with 4 Complex extenders has 609 HP. Another Extender will bump it to 681. Thats the equivalent of taking 10.5% less damage. With that in mind, I say a Complex Shield Resistance Mod should block 11% of all damage. Let's just follow the same ratios that Extenders do, just like we did. In the end, we get: Complex Shield Resistance mod: 11% Enhanced Shield Resistance mod: 9% Basic Shield Resistance mod: 6% Complex Armor Resistance mod: 15% Enhanced Armor Resistance mod: 12% Basic Armor Reistance mod: 9% Someone's gotta tell the stupids that their ideas are bad, and I guess it's my job...

In EVE, you can tell if an enemy is using a fit that resists your weapons, and you have enough time to react to that by switching ammo types. This is part of the reason they work there. You just can't really do either in Dust. They would either be horribly underpowered, or overpowered. There really isn't an inbetween here because its a shooter, not a Spaceship MMO.
