Simple as that. Now I am not a shield tanker and won't even pretend to be, however as a sentinel I find that I rip through any Caldari suits like a hot knife through butter. In my opinion the Caldari Sentinel is a joke due to it being a shield tanker.
I want to have a challenge when I take on Caldari Assaults and Sents, not just free kills. So CCP buff them.

Caldari suits are just pathetic right now, I kinda actually agree here. But, they really get everything handed to them on a silver platter. The Caldari are poster childs.

Yeah they kind do lol, but still as it stands shields are way to weak in the game.
And I think they are more like the poster child's down syndrome cousin. They mean well and have their moments but are still handicapped.

Would love to face you sometime then. Most the time I can take out Caldari Sents without breaking a sweet. Then again flux grenades can be a bit OP vs Cal Sents.

I think a shield rep tool should be part of the equation. Shields have many advantages such as not slowing you down as much and the high regen, but I agree they need a buff. If shields were buffed, this could help with the ScR and AScR balance issues as well. With the current armor meta, they're tools for solving a problem that didn't exist. As a result, they needed to be buffed to be relevant. If shields were buffed, then the ScR and AScR could be toned down some and still have a strong role on the battlefield.
Best PvE idea ever!

You know it is all true. 
The Caldari really do need a buff, but not that much of a OverPowering buff like most buffs.

The only reason why this is valid is because they apparently 'ran outta space' to put the rest of the racial variant stuff in. Which I'm still not buyin. Also I want to see those other racial things. Yeah, I don't want a crazy buff. I just want to be able to fight back again. Pretty broken right now

I think it was only one time they did Min. Maybe another time Amarr. Someone just did a thread about the Gallente serpent thing? I dunno what all that is. But the suit actually looks pretty boss. They should be advertising more stuff like that. It actually would be good advertising if they did racial lore videos

I agreed that caldari suits need some sort of buff by doing this your going to buff min sentinels at the same time due to them being partly shield based

I think we need to buff the amount of hp shield extenders give. If you can get over a 1000 armor easily with certain suits, why can't shields do the same?
Example
Basic old: 33 hp, Basic new: 66 hp
Advanced old: 50, Advanced new: 100 hp
Proto old: 66 hp, Proto new: 132 hp.
Now before any of you pro-armor loving scrubs start yelling OP, keep in mind that you guys have armor repairs that work constantly and armor repair tools that give you BS amount of points. |

That is just my observation using my HMG. Also against Calsents with HMG I can tear them apart. Or are they suppose to be long range too?
The problem is shield tanking is not viable in the current meta.

Also, before we tweak shields, we should change up the damage profiles for weapons so hybrid weapons are less "prejudiced" against a specific tank.
Hybrid/blaster: +5/-5
Hybrid/railgun: -5/+5

I have pro Cal Sentinel, Scout, Commando, Adv Assault and Logi (would have those pro if they had bonuses that were worth it). I am ok with current HP values (Sentinel in particular would be OP with CCP-buffedGäó extenders), but utility mods and general shield fitting do need to be buffed, as well as a reasonable regen threshold implented and the delay penalty on extenders reduced/replaced with a profile penalty by some combination of tier/stacking/frame size.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

Sure. I'm alright with this.
However, I don't think it should be a lot. Probably around the Ferroscale area since both don't affect movement speed. If this is the case, it would mean +10 shields per tier. |

Haha no. The closer a weapon comes to zero, the more OP the weapon becomes.
Remember, there is still Proficiency, and damage mods/skills/warbarge bonus.
So, if it is 5/5, I'd do around 120% shields 105% to armor on my AR alone. |

Because it slows you down by 3%.
A basic Ferroscale gives less HP than a complex and they both allow you to keep the same speed. |

Currently armor has
85/110/135
and shields are
33/50/66
We can either buff shields or nerd armor plates which it's pretty obvious that buffing shields would be the better choice.
Or we can adjust both while keeping them decently reliable.
Armor: 85/110/132
Shields: 42/55/66
Or
Armor: 80/100/120
Shields: 40/50/60
The first is just buffing shields while the seconds is adjusting both to bring them more on par with each other.

And do you also propose combining ferroscales and reactives, so we get ferroscale HP and reactives repair?
Because that's basically what your shield extenders will be.

In all honesty, shields lack two things.
Heavy Extenders - Something for Caldari Sentinels to fit like armor sentinels. These will be very penalizing just like armor plates.
Shield Logi tools - Lack of these tools means that in group combat, armor has an edge.

You seriously think I'd be bitching if the repair rate made the suit surviveable? Sure deal. You guys can have a better repair rate on your armor, we get a buff to shields. Deal. I also do agree that the buff should be reasonable. Chances are it'll be over buffed if/when this becomes a thing. CCP is good for that

Calm your **** man. I was just giving an example on how it could be. Besides, adding shield extenders extends the recharge period for shields and fluxes can almost always completely remove infantry shields. Also, is there a shield repair tool that people can use to farm warpoints? No, there is not. However, I would like to see an improvement with armor plates if this were to happen so there can be a balance. No need to sound like an angry 12-13 year old in the forums, we should all act like professional mercs that have some class. |

You can't handle all this synergy.

I don't know how I feel about a shield rep tool. I mean it does make sense. They have armor rep tools. But something about it seems a bit op. They have this tech in EvE?
Shields, the silent killer.

If you want to compare armor to shields you have to compare the correct mods.
Complex Armor Plates do NOT compare to Complex Shield Extenders. There is no shield equivalent to Armor Plates.
Complex Ferroscale plates compare to Complex Shield Extenders.
Complex Ferroscale:
PG/CPU: Not sure off hand. Someone look it up for me.
HP: 75
Penalties: None
Complex Extenders:
PG/CPU: Not sure off hand. Someone look it up for me.
HP:66
Penalties: +6% Regen Delay Length
I get that shield suits need to be more fragile than armor in close quarters because they are better at trench warfare. That's the combat methodology thing and it's cool. And relatively speaking they aren't far off -- 9 hp at most per module. Slightly more because of the skill bonus in the skill tree.
Armor repairing under fire and shields regenning more a tick cancel each other out and fit in their intended role.
However, armor suits get Damage mods without hurting their HP. They get rep tools. Rep Hives. They have the "Trade speed for more HP plate" (original plates.)
Make a shield extender with high HP, like in the low hundreds (still less than armor mods) that have a significant penalty to shield regen rate. Put in a shield reptool or shield rephive. Then you have parity. Shields will still be inferior to armor in CQC. But not as much. They will still be better at range in their current incarnation, but when stacked at range will be INFERIOR due to the regen rate penalty of High shield hp mods. Then you can nerf scramblers a tad as there will be more shield suits.
I really don't understand what is so hard to understand about it o.O

To be honest i think we need modules that increase the rate of fire and they should go into the lowslot. Aswell nerf the scrambler damage profile (not the gun itself) to be a mirror to the combat rifle. And to top it give us a shield logi tool to aid shield tanked suits while beeing in combat.
-Rate of fire module for lowslots
-scrambler profile nerf +15% vs shields and -15% vs armor (currently +20% vs shields and -20% vs armor)
-shield logi rebalance as you can see here
Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

Shield suits and shields in general should probably get a nice balancing pass.
I think that lowering the recharge delay penalty on shield extenders while also slightly buffing their HP would be great all around.
EDIT: Adding a shield based rep tool of some sort would make a world of difference. Part of the reason armor spam is so dominant is because its the only thing that a logi can latch on and effectively multiply some suits eHP by almost 10. |

I feel as though shields are great on regeneration but the stipulation to survive the initial combat and make use of that regeneration is where it falters. It's good for hit-and-run style play but TTK is too short for that sort of skirmishing to be very effective (not to say that it isn't).
Been running Caldari Logi/Assault lately and I sort of get the impression that it needs just a bit more buffer. Just a personal opinion though.
You guys are like a broken record with this "CPM material" business xD Let it go

That would be a ridiculous buff to shields making them better at CQC than Armor. So no. |

Yeah right cause damage mods are sacred for armor tankers. Damage mods make up for the lack of alpha damage on CQC weapons so rate of fire modules should make up for the lack of CQC capabilitys. Now get out of here you armor crutch addict.

My posting history on championing more balanced shields and armor is extremely well established. So much so that if you read up in this thread by 4 posts you would see that. And you wonder why no one takes you seriously... |
