Some weapons will still make your Caldari Heavy feel like fodder

It's always a mistake to not put a RoF limit on single shooters with high base damage.

I find the RR more fearsome then the ScR - but I'm an Amarr Heavy. To be expected, because that's how the meta works.

But, admittedly, the ScR does a bit too much against armor. I don't think the resistance penalty is working properly.

I'd appreciate that.

She would.

If the weapon balance posts continue I'll have them snipped, so best not to waste precious time you guys will never get back because our lives are in fact finite.

I appreciate the fact that you acknowledge that there is an imbalance between shields and armour but I strongly suggest that these proposals are not the answer.

I really dont see how buffing Gallente Scout and Assault shield stats so much helps anyone.

EDIT - I see that the answer to my above statement is - it is more about having a baseline to work from rather than buffs to armour suits but I still cant help but feel this is iffy...

Why dont we for the love of all things just look at the stats from the current shield modules and adjust those? Regulator buffs, extender buffs (How about removing the shield delay penalty from extenders).

Also its all great trying to balance base stats but how on earth can we ever have balance when Armour has triage hives and repair tools and Shields have none of those? Please explain to me how balance can ever be achieved.

Go and speak to people in EVE and ask them if it would be fair to remove shield logistics modules and ships.....

Ratatti et al actually agreed to NERF SHIELD REGEN on shield vehicles as they thought the stat was OP.. Now no one sensible uses shield vehicles outside of the redline.

The time spent debating the necessity of nerfing shield regen and actually altering it would have far better been spent either playing the game and realizing how rediculous the nerf would be

or by fixing shield boosters or having second thoughts about MAKING ARMOR HARDNERS BETTER THAN SHIELD HARDENERS IN EVERY WAY.

The same thing comes to mind when I see posts regarding slight buffs to gallente shield regen.. I KNOW IT IS A SLIGHT BUFF BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARY FROM ANY PERSPECTIVE SHORT OF MAKING GALLENTE ASSAULT SUITS BETTER.

A lot of this looks more like our (CPM) 'step 2'
#1 is the base suit stats having a method that provides a solid foundation
#2 is tuning the mods (and hopefully adding a few options as well) to give shields more love and diversity
#3 is looking at possible comparative issues with weapons, such a profile bias, this is more of a side step.
#4 is looking at the raw stats of the armor mods.

The iterative balance process takes this one step at a time and allows for more finite adjustments as well as leaving entire steps alone if balance is reached before they are enacted.

That's just a roughed out framework of course, but it should illustrate the concept and context.

Giving all caldari suits the current scout regen with sentinel depleted delay could help offset the disparity brought on by secondary regen sources available to armor.

I don't see how it would be overpowered, scout would be the same, sentinel the same, assault a little better, commando quite a bit better.. not even close to an armor stacked player with a rep tool.. no delay on armor reps or damage threshold which is a huge bonus to armor. Not to mention damage mods. 700 shields vs 700 armor shooting at eachother for 2 seconds will have the armor suit repping for 2 straight seconds while the shield suit will still have a delay when it stops taking damage.. apples=/=oranges with Ehp.
