Armor is more or less worthless compared to shields. And it's not really just CCP being silly, I understand where that comes from since this takes place in the EVE universe. In EVE (these are just generalizations or course) shield focused ships hit hard and are high offense low defense. Armor tanked ships tend to do less DPS and are low offense high defense. You can see this in the original version of the heavies and there were many tears.
So the type ii assault is vastly superior to the type i due to the increased shields. Leveling the HP across all the suit variations completely removed the usefulness of armor and I believe it is a serious balance issue that needs to be addressed. Currently a heavily shielded assault suit with an AR is so vastly superior to anything else it's more or less mandatory. |

Absolutely. More PG/CPU=probably better. Extra slot = definitely better. Except maybe for that advanced heavy suit, still not too sure about that one. |

I'll never use the type II again.The survivability just isn't there for me.I know that he number support that the type II is better,but on the battlefield,it just isn't,and that's the only numbers that really count for me.As they say,the game isn't played on paper.
You're doing it wrong. I don't mean to be a ****, I mean that you are doing something wrong. More shield skills and better shield upgrades. Type ii is better when you fit it right.
EDIT:Extra low slot could mean more CPU. Just saying. |

Well, you did ask which was better and I still maintain that the type ii is better, generally. Might not fit your playstyle. If anyone tells you that you have to switch and blah blah blah tell 'em look at your KDR. I switched to type ii last build before i swore off AR's and I died a lot at first. A whole lot. But then I got my style down and a fit I liked. I loved the type ii and did better than ever with it. If you're winning with the type i then wear it.
I guess my only real advice would be use what you like, but if you feel like you just can't go any further with it, then the type ii is a very good suit and might work better for you then.
I shouldn't have told you that you were doing it wrong, earlier. That was my bad. All that matters is that at the end of the day you're still vertical and they aren't. |

Then the advantages are shield and extra slot. And it has more roman numerals in the name so you know it's even more awesomer. |
