Juno Tristan Obscure Reference 417	Posted - 2015.03.10 05:24:00 - [1] - Quote I know the Caldari hate the scrambler rifle, but would shield tanking be OP without laser profile weapons? ADS Ramming Revenge! Plasma Cannon Rampage
Vicious Minotaur 2085	Posted - 2015.03.10 05:33:00 - [2] - Quote I wreck shield tanking fools with my Gallente weapons, Minmatar weapons (sans flaylock and MD), and Caldari weapons. Shield tanking would still be wimpy if there were even less Amarr weapons than there already are. I am a minotaur. a+üa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa+üa¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça¦ça+üa+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+¦a+üa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa+üa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ëa¦ë
VAHZZ Gallente Federation 807	Posted - 2015.03.10 05:36:00 - [3] - Quote Us Gallente wreak havoc upon den puny shields. *The supreme art of war, is to subdue the enemy without fighting*.
Squagga The State Protectorate 382	Posted - 2015.03.10 05:57:00 - [4] - Quote The only time I really notice the difference, is when using vehicle weapons, against vehicles. I really can't tell the diffrence. My RR, her name is Rosie, tears through all shields and armor equally Reloading, the silent killer.
Juno Tristan Obscure Reference 417	Posted - 2015.03.10 06:11:00 - [5] - Quote If I use a cr against a Caldari suit it feels like the bullets are just bouncing off, I have to rely on fluxing them instead. But I guess the AR profile is better suited to the job ADS Ramming Revenge! Plasma Cannon Rampage
Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 3103	Posted - 2015.03.10 06:20:00 - [6] - Quote No. It would definitely be competitive with armor, perhaps even better imo. However, there are still fluxes and blaster weaponry, so they'd be balanced. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~
Mejt0 Dead Man's Game RUST415 998	Posted - 2015.03.10 06:33:00 - [7] - Quote Most of very good players uses Caldari Assault. They are good enough [players] to win vs scramblers etc. But yeah, without laser weponary, Caldari assault would be 2x more competetive. Caldari Hero Loyal To The State Mejt0 Sale List
xavier zor 0uter.Heaven Back and Forth 769	Posted - 2015.03.10 06:58:00 - [8] - Quote nope without the amarr weapon, shield tanking would be viable...armor tanking is very OP if you have a logi attached (teamwork is OP) retired stabbed musturd, duna, radar, tibs replying
Lorhak Gannarsein Nos Nothi 4416	Posted - 2015.03.10 07:29:00 - [9] - Quote I was playing around in a CalSent the other day. It was great, really effective, until someone cooked a flux at me for all my shields. Then someone came around the corner with a combat rifle and 800 HP and killed me. Guys, we need to stop calling MU a 'matchmaker' when it's actually a 'teambuilder'. And I want to play FE:A now. Damn.
Francois Sanchez Prima Gallicus 310	Posted - 2015.03.10 08:26:00 - [10] - Quote Gal weapons will still destroy the shields at insane speed while rail weaponry still gets through quite easily so definitely not.

Nocturnal Soul Primordial Threat 5788	Posted - 2015.03.10 08:38:00 - [11] - Quote Why am I incredibly insulted by this.... (Gê¬n+Ç-´)GèâGöüGÿån+ƒ.pâ+n+ín+ƒ. LASERS BTCH!!!!!! The Incursions are back... and they're golden baby!

If you get surrounded, you are faster and can run away. You also regenerate better retired stabbed musturd, duna, radar, tibs replying -í° -£-û -í°
Shamarskii Simon The Hundred Acre Hood RISE of LEGION 165	Posted - 2015.03.10 11:49:00 - [14] - Quote Lots of people don't know how to shield tank in all honesty. But knowing base armor Cal's are two shot, i see why people don't know how to shield tank. I found out the other day and... I felt OP in my combat area. (well i wasn't but I was doing a whole lot better than my old style) Entering the void and becoming wind. Message for 1v1 air to air
Joel II X Bacon with a bottle of Quafe 6611	Posted - 2015.03.10 11:54:00 - [15] - Quote No.
Nirwanda Vaughns 1528	Posted - 2015.03.10 12:06:00 - [16] - Quote No, because Gallente do high shield damage anyway. Shield tanks need a bit of love, i've always said the skill to use shield extenders should be 3% or 5% per level to efficacy of extenders not 2%. only small increase but it'd make a good difference in the long run. Or, i'd like the Power Diagnostic System from EVE for lowslots of suits too, it gives a small increase to suit PG, Shield recharge and shield HP and woulod really help shield based suits become something Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner
Georgia Xavier Y.A.M.A.H 58	Posted - 2015.03.10 12:51:00 - [17] - Quote Shield tanking does need a bit of tweaking,its a bit frail in my opinion. And that's someone loyal to amarr saying that How many amarr does it take to change a light bulb? none. The minmatar do it for them
LUGMOS Corrosive Synergy RISE of LEGION 2632	Posted - 2015.03.10 12:55:00 - [18] - Quote Nope. Armor based players still have greater utility in fitting damage mods, where the shield weakness can be diminished. Official QuafeGäó Advocate Anti-FoTM Prof. V Forum Scavenger Prof. V

In the case of Eve however its the other way around. The most potent Titan ship is caldari because it can shield tank and have really high firepower How many amarr does it take to change a light bulb? none. The minmatar do it for them
Francois Sanchez Prima Gallicus 311	Posted - 2015.03.10 13:43:00 - [20] - Quote Shield tanking still has many drawbacks compared to armour : - less HP - conflict with damage mods - high CPU and PG costs whereas shield suits generally lack PG - no combo with rep tools/triage nanohives - regen delay (armour with 2 regen modules can regen much better in successive engagements thx to that, or if you take that random bullet your regen stops for several precious seconds) - flux grenades/OBs

Aidualc LATINOS KILLERS CORP Dark Taboo 94	Posted - 2015.03.10 15:18:00 - [21] - Quote Shield tanking = speed and straffing, armour tanking = slow and reps... speed or rep are op? -- LKC -- Tomate Pote --

But I do want to speak about Amarr weapons........................ - The tactical Scrambler rifle makes so much damage... Piouf ! I have got it, prof 5 with Amarr assault. It does destroy shield so easily... so easily... People said "no it's not OP at all, you say it is because you haven't ever played with it". I tried, I play everyday with it. And it's OP. - Breach Scrambler pistol. Must +I say something ? - The assault scrambler rifle. Ok it's UP compared to other weapons. But +15% damage ????? Do CCP understand what they do ??? Instead of buff x or y weapon, CCP must NERF THE OTHERS TO INCREASE TTK I'm sorry for my bad English writting and comprehension.
