DUST Search - Heavies and their resistances

Victor, I will say that yes the resistances do help sentinels. When I used gallente assault with ar and smg (prof 5 everything) I hated amarr sentinels. My usual prof against shields and armor was 125 and 130. Amarr sentinels would reduce that to 110 and 115 . So someone without prof 5 would be getting 95 and 100 with the same suit and weapons. Each sentinels resistances work against certain weapons which can make them a NIGHTMARE if you get caught with your pants down.

As far as I know splash resistance saves sentinels a lot as well. Even as a chubby chaser commando with 312 shield and 632 armor and 23 reps, i can get taken out by 2 core locus grenades. The chubby i was chasing would survive those. Resistances do help, but only against certain weapons. Playing sentinel involves a lot of cover abuse and suddenly popping out of corners and doorways because max sentinel skill only cancels 15% and 10% damage efficency of said weapons. Any higher and sentinels would be ridiculously hard to kill. Thats my opinion at least.

But the resistance thing always bugs me, 2 and 3%? I'd be surprised if they are even applied - has anyone does any scientific tests on these? I saw a while back people doing one or two things in a Factional match to do with the HMG spray but I doubt this is even applied in the first place. Why not make the resistance something like 25 or even 50% to start with and then dial it back - that way these bloody Minmatar assaults, or anything for that matter (not singling out Minassaults) cannot kill a heavy suit with a single clip. Does anyone agree? Okay - yes, 25 - 50% may be a little too high to begin with - but also, it might not be, what is the damage output of your average proto CR/RR? 2000+ damage? with it's massive hitbox and no speed - no heavy can survive that. Yes yes I know - get a logi etc etc. but just humour me here; I want to discuss the innate resistance stat of the heavy that seemingly does not do anything. Once upon a time (albeit for a bout a week) I remember when you could tank a RE! anyone else remember that? explosive resistance my ass! Part time Logi, Full time heavy.

It takes 13+ MD rounds to take 1 heavy down. As for other weapons taking down a Heavy, that is working as intended. Heavies already get too much for too little, and need a resistance reduction.
