3x enhanced shield regulators

kalikota RR
adv mag sec or BP

locus grenades

nanohives

566 shields
2.3 shield recharge delay
2.5 depleted shield recharge delay
(these numbers are off the top of my head not on dust atm to give exact numbers)

I honestly don't see how armour is superior to shields. armour only gets repair and reactive mods to regen their hp.
compared to shields which have regulators, rechargers, amplifiers and relays to increase the strength of their shields.
amrour at most can get 55 hp/s
shields can go over 100 hp/s and have low deleay times to recharge.

shields work best at range where they can utilize surroundings/times to initate recharge.
armour is better for closer ranges where you will need to regen on the go albeit at a reduced pace.

the only thing that allows armour to dominate shields is that ******* scrambler rifle charged shot.

armor can be repped trough various ways and does not require a delay to begin regaining health, even a std armor rep tool can rep more then most shield suits with stacked rechargers and most armor suits have (if not all) have a better ability to stack health without giving up damage potential or having to worry about delays

armor can also be repped by nano hives which makes solo tanking be just as easy if not easier then shield tanking

2 seconds of delay or even just 1 second can mean life and death when most weapons can simply kill you just as fast if not faster (not to mention taking damage negates it meaning you have to wait even more unless the damage is under 6 points)

the best passive recharge and lowest delay (both depleted and normal delay) are that of the cal scout but that is negated due to the fact that the low eHP that shields give make it easy to one shot by just about any high alpha weapon (including charged ScR shots) so even if you have 100+ recharge with 1 sec depleted delay it means little to nothing when any weapon can destroy you in half that time even with stacked hp whereas armor scouts can stack 400+ armor still have good shield stats to buffer and rep even faster due to armor reps or triage nano hives (compact included)

armor gives up little to nothing (perhaps other then speed) to stack armor, but shields give up a lot even taking punishment to its delays when stacking shield extenders and the fact still stand that armor mods are easier to fit and give 2.5 times the HP they may reduce speed but not this can be negated almost completely (to sprint speed at least) by using just one kincat without giving up too much compared to shields

Two points:
1. Armor Rep requires a fellow Logi to give up using his gun. It's not free regen, your team losses DPS. Comparing a rep tool to built in regen is dumb.
Shields need Logi tools, yes, but comparing an equipment to built in regen shouldn't even happen.

2. The speed penalty from armor is absolutely massive, trying to underplay it is absolutely stupid. And remember that the strafe penalty is double that of the normal armor penalty, so you're looking at -20% strafe speed for two complex plates.
There's a reason most non sentinels don't use normal plates. You get hit far more, and it isn't worth the extra HP you gain.

As for the rest...
For every point you make, you're thinking in a vacuum, not looking at how all the pieces fall together.
Trying to make a coherent reply to that mess is... not going to happen.

Step three - profit!? 1- Shields should skirmish or brawl? (Skirmish is the general theory) 2- Shields in a skirmish situation need similar HP levels to now (possibly a bit more raw hp) but certainly need buffs to regen / delay 3- Shields now work well for their intended role. Armour for big HP brawls, Shield for hit and run skirmish while both can still mingle in with other role-ies = happy days = people spend more money = profit!

Varoth Drac Dead Man's Game 1	Posted - 2015.07.27 14:25:00 - [30] - Quote I made two fits to compare armour and shield tanking. I'm not saying they are the best fits in the world, but they should be pretty useable and are close examples to best compare shield and armour tanking: Caldari Assault Gallente Assault Both suits have two damage mods and one biotic, for as fair a comparison as possible. They also both have three regen mods and two hp mods, with no speed penalties. The Caldari assault has a total hp of 662. The Gallente assault has 703 hp. Regen is a little complicated, but for the sake of simplicity let's compare the Caldari's shield regen to the Gallente's armour. Caldari shield regen; time to regen all shields from 0 = 11.8 seconds Gallente armour regen; time to regen all armour from 0 = 17 seconds So, as you can see, the Caldari assault has less hp and faster regen than the Gallente. In line with the design philosophy. Another factor to take into account, is that the armour will regen through damage, whereas the shields have a delay. Personally I don't feel the 5 seconds faster regen on the Caldari is quite enough to justify both the slightly lower hp and (more significantly) the regen delay. To balance this I recommend buffing shield energisers / rechargers, to enhance shield tanking's distinction as high regen/low hp/delay, when compared to armour tanking. I would not be in favour of removing the delay or buffing extenders, as that would just make shield tanking very similar to armour. I like that there is a clear difference between the two. People should be encouraged to fit energisers, and get a good benefit for doing so.
