Apocalyptic Destroyerr Shining Flame Amarr Empire 173	Posted - 2015.05.26 23:16:00 - [1] - Quote Now coming from a player who literally only runs Armor and only runs everything Amarr and is only for AFW / GFW I have to say shields are pretty awful. There's no words for how broken they are. Literally every weapon in the game destroys them. Should we Nerf every weapon ? Obviously No. So, shields are definitely missing something to be apart of the big game of Dust 514 There are numerous things in which we can fix this ! First Method: * Reduce the Shield Recharge Delay for either only the Caldari (Since they are a shield race) or for all suits and slightly buff the extenders. Idea New skill for Caldari : Reduce shield depletion delay by 1% or 2% per level. Second Method: We leave everything as is but add a new tool The Shield Booster* (Name can be changed) It's basically a handheld shield booster, that can only work on infantry (Maybe tanks if worked around like armor repair) Note: This tool does not continuously repair the shields but instead supplies the shields with a burst of repaired shielding and jump starts them for self repair. The Numbers are : Basic: Supplied Burst on Suits: 75 HP Supplied Burst on Vehicles: 400 HP Overheat Time: 17 Sec Advanced: Supplied Burst on Suits: 97 HP Supplied Burst on Vehicles: 500 HP Overheat Time: 12 Sec Proto: Supplied Burst on Suits: 110 HP Supplied Burst on Vehciles: 600 HP Overheat Time: 7 Sec Note ! That it can be debatable whether or not that this tool does or does not overheat to prevent misuse. It can also be debatable whether or not that it can be used on vehicles. The numbers are there, the idea is there. It may be sent to the trash or improved. But as far as I know there will be no shield repair tool. This is as close as it gets. Third Method: Increase the Speed of the Caldari to be somewhat on par with the Minmitar. Reason being is Caldari is only shield. It strikes me odd as why the Minmitar is so fast when they don't utilize as much shield. (Minmitar took the Caldari's Swarms, Knives, not the speed too :/ )

Now the caldaro still have crappy armor, but gallente and amarr have crappy shields. And i mean rep wise. We already have crappy shields. It would take 3 extenders, a few rechargers/energizers and a regulator to get the base shield stats a caldari suit does. Caldari suits need 1 armour repair mod and a complex armour plate to get close to base stats of armour suits(while still having all the good shield built in goodness) I mean rep wise. Amarr and gallente shields rep to fast. They should be forced to use rechargers the same way Caldari need armor reps. I actually feel like There should be a bonus for the Caldari concerning either shield depletion or recharge. Or penalize the non Shield races

The ones across from my 3 proto armor reps on my proto min logi. I would like to see a decent shield HP buff, since armor is so dominant. And before people whine about armor not being OP, I present my proto logisuit with its 30hp/s armor self rep. Seriously, please make shields somewhat viable again. Exactly, I don't ever use Extenders unless complex or for a filler slot. If not I'll use a damage mod instead or precision mod
