One merc vs. one merc, the equation is pretty close to balanced, which is why this is such a difficult issue to get across to people.
In a team setting armor has more EHP, more regen due to triage hives/repair tools, more access to damage via damage mods. The only thing shields are good for is HP padding a speed tanked suit, which is why every single suit I have with high shields is either a speed tank suit or a passive scan cal scout.
P.S. Tac Scrambler still massively OP vs. shield tanked suits, etc. |

Therefore the following will always remain true in Dust: Armor > Shields.
This sounds pretty spectacularly dumb considering we just went through patch Charlie where the Gunnlogi was functionally invincible. I keep seeing **** like this ascribing all kinds of blanket opinions and favoritism to CCP, but the fact is CCP couldnt find its own butt if it wasnt attached to their backsides, so this kind of conspiracy theory talk as if they have some kind of unified vision, or any vision at all, is ludicrous and doesn't help anything. |

A small window of time when gunlogi was good does not change the fact that the vast majority of Dust's history armor had been the preferred meta especially for infantry. I'd also like to point out the ONLY reason why gunlogi had it's 15mins of fame is because swarms were way too strong against armor vehicles.
Someone doesnt remember Cal Logi.
And swarms were not too strong against armor tanks, the gunnlogi was just straight up overpowered. |
