So I am starting to see the ever increase petition to make the scrambler rifle have a 15/15 profile because Laser weapons are too good at taking out shields even tho that's what it is meant to do!

Now, part of this problem I think comes from thanks to the over abundance of Anti-Armor weapons. Face it shield users. There are more Anti-Armor weapons in the game AND the most used weapons in matches are Anti-Armor so anyone with a shield suit is not used to almost any weakness. If you take that into the shield suit users whining, it means that they are so used to get git with weapons that do minimal damage to their shields, that when a specialty weapon designed yo destroy shields comes inyo play, they cry and whine how said weapon is OP.

Now for damage profiles. There are currently 5 damage profiles.

Plasma +10/-10

Rail -10/+10

Projectile -15/+15

Laser +20/-20

Explosive -20/+20

Now look at that. 3 damage profiles designed to take out armor. Yet do you see any armor suit user complaining about these? Do you seeany armor suit user complaining how the Projectile and Explosive chew right threw armor like it was nothing? No. Even if RR, HMGs and CRs are the most used weapons in the battlefield, you almosy never see an armor suit user whining about.

But now, if a Laser weapons comes into play, a shield suit user will scream for a nerf to it's profile.
Again, this most likely comes do to the over abundance of Anti-Armor weapons and them being so used to be getting hit with those that when an Anti-Shield weapon comes out, they think its OP.

Can the weapon use some changes? Yeah.
Does the damage profile need some chanages? No.

But that repair tool takes a guy off the battle whom could be doing something better. Not to mention an easy prey.

But not an overall shield repair tool that works exactly like the armor one. That would be too OP.

I believe the weapon you are looking for is called the HMG.

And naturally? Naturally Caldari and Gallente suits mirror each other. Same eHP stats, stamina, everything.

Min and Amarr are the different ones. Amarr gets more eHP but is slower while Min gets less eHP while being faster.

Now modded, shields do have a natural high shield regen. So you guys can't have high HP and high natural regen in one suit.

Now before you come throwing the "but you guys have repair tools and rep hives"
I support the idea of shield suits having a light shield booster that lets them ignore the shield delay and begin rechraging the shoelds quickly and the idea of shields needing a damage threshold yo brake it's recharge phase.

And Rep hives were invented by the Caldari.

It is. Just because you are shield bias doesn't mean it won't make it OP.

A tool or module to make it pass the recharge delay with a 10 or 20 shield boost is enough to make shield suits better. I preffer the option of a module tho.

Heaviea getting mutuly shield and armor repped would be OP.
A shield repair tool would encourage more sentinel spam. THAT'S why it's OP.
