Over 500 is I have 10million SP and put complex mods on it. get the **** out of here idiot.

ur all butthurt cuz u want a dominant suit but u dont respond to the OP. 500 shields for that suit is way 2 high.

The type II suit cant fit over 500 shields. only Vk1's and most ar players dont even use armor because it slows them down, so lets say thats over 620 hp.

when i say type 2 I mean the whole family of variants. meaning the type II, the B series and the VK1.

keep in mind the movement penalty doesnt affect them as much because they are faster to begin with. they can still stack armor and be faster than anything but a scout or assault with speed mods. but guess who wins in a gunfight? the fast shield recharge just adds insult to injury.

Sorry for the double post, but do you even know whet your talking about... LOL.

Firstly, Speed mods only effect sprint speed. Not movement.

Secondly, in a Gunfight as long as fire is sustained no, there will be no recharge.

Before hundreds of assault players QQ, think outside yourselves for a moment. should any assault suits have as much protection as the heavy suit? [the heavy maxes out below 540 shields] what exactly is the purpose of the heavy if other suits can be as well protected? The immature 'we want it all' crowd will say yes, but think about it: The Heavy suits sacrifices movement and slow turn speed for protection. The assault type 2 variant sacrifices........nothing. As a matter of fact it moves faster and its shield delay is lower as well. Its almost scout like. but ask yourself: Do scouts have high shields? No, they sacrifice protection for movement and a fast recharge. its like the type 2 assault gets everything. A bigger issue might be the other racial variants on the way, while the caldari assault suit will unquestionably be the highest shielded assault suit, can you imagine how bad the caldari heavy will be? If the amarr heavy is any indicator [fyi: the amarr suit should have the lowest shields, exceeded by the gallente, minmatar and then the caldari] the caldari heavy will be a God. It might not even need armor its shields will be so high. we need to get this under control now by lowering the assault shields to the 185 range. Shields are dominant in this game and giving any assault suit this much power is horrible balance.

I was in his squad recently and was shocked to see it. shield control level 5, 3 complex extenders.................................the sad part? he still has room for a complex damage mod.

HMG does more DPS if you win a gunfight it's because you're BAD not because they're using OP stuffs. I'm a logi so how does this remotely make sense?

Secondly, in a Gunfight as long as fire is sustained no, there will be no recharge. you cant be this bad at basic math. 225 shields X 1.25 for shield control [please add the result to 225 for the modification total] and then add 66 for each extender. use your fingers if you need to. 1. where did i say speed mods affected movement? i said the type 2 variants are faster and they are. they can put on armor and be less affected, are u seriously disputing this? 2. as long as fire is sustained? oh u mean as long as you keep shooting them? what if you dont? no one can say how long a gunfight will be. do me a favor smart guy, look at the reload time for an AR and then look at the shield recharge delay for a Type 2 assault.

Why is every dust bunny illiterate? All of you saying the type-II can't get 500 shields, even though he specifically said this beforehand. that was not there when he made the thread, but if you paid close attention to the whole deal here you can see me objecting that you cant fit over 500 shields to a type II suit which i said it is total bs, and that is when he later claimed "meaning the type II, the b series and the VK1" he knew that he messed up. lol atleast pretend to be smart. why would I give an example with 4 high slots for a suit that only has two? or did I edit that in too?
DustMercsBlog Galactic News Network 34	Posted - 2013.04.12 22:23:00 - [7] - Quote ^yup. and thats what anyone with a brain will do because the math backs it up. its the law of first person shooters: if something is unbalanced? use it until its fixed.when one suit has a clear advantage why would you use anything else? then everything else in the market just takes up space and there's no variety. it boils down to the type II variants being faster and having faster and disproportionately higher shields than everyone else at every stage without giving up anything. i'm sorry if some peoples secret fit got outted but its the truth.
