How would this help shield suits .?. most armor suits have one or two high slots where you might get three in a PRO suit .

The same number that a shield suit can take advantage of and the fact that Caldari suits have the same amount reversed that a armor suit has . You would actually kill shield suits unless it's a Min suit with this proposal , so you would actually see more people using Min suits to even out the deficiencies .

You already don't want Caldari to dual tank , shield extenders have delay penalties and this would make fitting damage mods and regulators a tough fix , thus cutting the damage power of the Caldari to a third of there current rate coupled with the extended delay rate from the extenders and no way to reduce it if your already lacking lows and using one regulator .

This is just one more thing to change this game for the worst .

I can't wait until the shut off the servers because some of the things that you people come up with is ..... everything that works in EVE will not work for Dust and you people just can't get that threw your heads and why would you want the same mechanics anyway for two totally different games ???

Yes same universe but totally different games .

Sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone and fix what's REALLY wrong .

Edit : Caldari already has the lowest armor rep rates . I see where your making it for both highs and lows but it still seems un necessary . It's fine the way it is now .

Using shields is proven to be better than using damage mods.

why would +1.5 damage per round on a 30 damage per shot rifle even make a difference at all! compared to 300 shields!

move on from the days of the old damage mods, and actually do some maths :P

ROF mods instead?

you want damage mods for low slots? well then give armor tanks hi slot modules that are worth using.

shield tanks have regulators, damps, kin cats, armor reps are always great to extend your HP, and more. you have to understand that armor is most common because of map design and objective based gameplay coupled with fluxes.

shields are not good if you fight for objectives or at chokes, you will just get cooked flux grenades into the face which you wont be able to evade due to the big blast radius (if cooked properly you anyway wont be able to evade it so...). defending does not work so well if your tank is nullified.

beside that, there is not much of value for combat that you can fit into hi slots. one precision enhancer at most to detect damped assaults at close range behind walls or to see proto equipment better.

if Myofibrils would e.g. additionally reduce armor plate penalty, I would instantly exchange some of the damage mods for them.

also shield tanks have room for a single damage mod while still having good hp additionally to their beastly regeneration. I dont see a problem. alot of caldari or minmatar fits include a damage mod.

Suure... only if we get codebreakers & biotics for high slots.

Low slot RoF mods for the low, and High slot damage mods for the high.

I see some interesting glass cannon scout builds coming out of this.

I see Scrambler Rifle lethality going through the roof.

This would actually make Amarr Assaults even more deadly.

I'm all for doing SOMETHING for shield suits, and I like the idea.
But if we go with allowing damage mods for highs and lows, and/or introducing RoF mods, then I can only see putting a limit on this.

If you have one type, you cannot equip the other.
Damage/RoF Mod in high slot, stops Damage and RoF mods from being added to the low slot, and vice versa. That would be the only way to prevent some really stupid game-breaking things from happening.

Now you hit it. You reached maximum stupidity.

Doing so would completely kill armor tanking. Since the only worth while mods tge armor tankers have for the high slots are damage mods.

Shields on Gallente and Amarr suits are too low to make use of Extenders, Recharges or Emergizers.

Moving damage modd to low will create shiled suits to be incredibly OP more so than what you guys proclaim armor is op.

You guys will have speed, high tank, high regen and deal a lot of damage.

What if instead of damage mods in the lows we got ROF mods instead?
