I honestly don't get the debate in this thread. The concept of Native Shield regen making Shield Rep tools unfair makes no sense. Like at all. The concept of a shield repper and an armor repper on a heavy making it invulnerable makes no sense. At all.

So ive decided to spec into minlogi to see how OP a minlogi is for a armor tanked squad. And holy cow i was right, its the #1 armor tanker crutch in the entire game. Now i understand why people where against my idea for a shield recharger tool. They just want to have a armor exlcusive crutch, they do not want to compete with faster moving shield squads, they do not want competition on their logistic turf. Seriously this is just batshit insane, i can rep a dude accross the street with a lai dai flux reptool and minlogi 5.

I demand that the cal. logi gets reworked to be a shield logi and introduce a shield recharger tool.

There's a better solution. Much easier and better.
Buff shield suits delay stats [slightly].
Rework current rep tool.

From my point of view, rep tool should be used at friendly targets that are not engaged in combat [that means they're not taking any dmg]. They could be reping them during engagements but it wouldn't be as effective.

NO

I main caldari, I run nothing but shield based fits and I disagree with introducing a shield rep tool, shields need a boost in power not a rep tool. if a player can be rep for armor and shields they cannot be killed. it breaks the game.

IMO shield fits should be rebalanced to be faster and more resilient then armour fits on a 1 v 1 bases

armour fits being rep'd should be more resilient/take more punishment then shield fits with the balance being someone on the team is taken out of the fight due to manning the rep tool.

Its as simple as this people

Armor Repping Minlogis remvoe the major weakness of armor (slow regen) while it gets to maintain its innate HP stacking advantage.

Likewise, a shield logi tool should negate to weakness of shields (raw HP) while avoiding its strength.


Therefore, shield logi tool should provide samage resistance bonus to shields.

I think it shouldn't be able to rep through damage and it should be more like shield booster. It should be a deployable.

Perhaps it could be able to rep through damage if pulsed like a shield booster. And maybe a suit couldn't receive the boost until after depleted delay.

This would make it less OP if paired with a min logi. You'd have to take cover to recover shields with or without the booster.

I personally would love a shield rep tool, but I see a minor flaw in how useful it would be.

Take for a moment a gallentae sent. (just as an example) if you had this rep tool on the heavy, after the shields are gone, what does it do?

rep through damage like the armour reppers?

and if so how would that work on the shields?

The way I see it it would only work if the shields were repaired only when armour is full, so it may be better to make the current rep tool be able to rep both armour and shields.

Again not saying I don't want one (totally do, really want to see some more cal sents on the field), but rather I don't see how one would work, and if someone else does, please explain. o7 and happy hunting :)

I love my Cal Logi but it would be nice to get some Nanohives that repair shields or something. I guess the drawback to this idea would be a player throwing out a Hive that reps armor and then throwing out a Hive that reps shields, could be a little OP I guess lol. I do love my Cal Logi tho
