However their tank is comparatively lower and less durable than that of armour being their first line of defence as opposed to ours being a second line of defence, moreover from a Dustside perspective its a solution that serves to limit the number of damage modules that can be stacked on suits.

If we can establish them as a low slot item that competes both with desirable armour and shield module options I believe that we could see a reduction to the number of them used on suits, especially armour. I'm also hoping that it would serve to deter dual tanking.

Which is literally the result of Damage Modules being in the wrong slot. They should be lows so that armour tankers must make the conscious decision to equip gank over tank not have both.

What I don't get is why don't they just give the long range weapons a reverse damage falloff so that its damage ramps up at range. Then we wouldn't have this whole issue of ranged weapons outclassing the cqc weapons in their own turf.

A all in one slayer needs at least 1 dampener and precision mod and reactive plate/rep nanohive, if reactive plates were used, you might want a PRO active proximity scanner. You need at least 1 jump mod to still be able to have certain retreat options such as jumping over a railing, you need at least 1 PRO red bottle to still be slightly fast. etc.

Going to extremes in hp only make you the ultimate assault slayer in firefights with no cover near objectives with your team mates, without team mates you will be flanked and killed by my stealth adv amarr sentinel (scan profile 27 and 36 scan precision) or some other player with half a brain. You will only kill 1 player, the rest that you kill didn't retreat when they should have, so that they could flank you, or throw cooked grenades, since you would be slow.
