I feel like its complex shield extenders that are the problem, not the base shields on b series assault suits.

Basic - 11, Enhanced - 22, Complex... 66? Why such a huge jump from enhanced to complex? And there is no stacking penalty for extenders either.

that still doesnt address the fact that those type 2 suits dont give up anything. they are fast and have high shields. also they shouldnt be within 200 points of a heavy in shields or armor. No suit should.

while shields remain this dominant that suit is redonkulous.

hopefully we'll see some changes in uprising.

I'm assuming when you say "type2 suit" you mean the proto vk1? Sure, when it's fitted for max HP it can probably have around 800ish HP. (including 4 complex shield extenders and a couple armor plates, leaving room for 1 repper)

But if you do that to a proto Heavy, (go for max HP) it'll have around 1300HP. So the Heavy still has around 500 more HP.

I think you're just exaggerating. You're probably comparing a proto assault and a std heavy.... not apples to apples.

Regarding "type2 suits vs type1 suits. There is definitely a difference. (type2 is better) But it's not THAT big of a difference. It's an extra 30HP, a little more speed, and a slightly faster shield regen. Like I said before, if you make the changes I mentioned, it would put both suits on more even ground.

also, the heavy suit has 3 high slots and 2 low on the vk.1 it definitely cant turn that into 1300 total h.

Perhaps 1200s? I know Heavies can get their HP over 1200.... just don't have the game on in front of me.

BTW, I think the type2 Heavy IS an improvement over the type1. I don't see where he gives up anything. Unless I misunderstood you....

I disagree. Ubershielding a Type II is actually a stupid and expensive thing to do, i find the suit suprisingly well balanced. CPU/PG wise its pretty crap so fitting stuff without the skills can be quite a pain. It wont really fit anything higher then Advanced weapons, but if you fit Advanced weapons the rest of your Modules will feel the CPU drain. So i prefer not too use Adv Weaps on type II and go for a 1x complex shield mod.complex dmg mod + Exile/assault rifle instead. This way the ISK drain will not be so intense and it will still put out allot of damage with the prof skills.

60k? lol, mine is 35K and my weapon does more dmg. for only 1 shield extender. See my point?

Because you use a ADV gun that is worth 3x the amount of your suit.

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.

The assault type II suit:
AT MAXIMUM the Assault type II can have 413 shield HP. That's with Shield control level 5, and two complex shield extenders.
For my type II suit I like to fit a basic armor plate on so as to essentially add another "shield extender" (basic armor plate has 65hp) This along with level 5 mechanics brings the armor up to 196 armor HP.

The scrambler rifle would put this topic to rest once we get it.

? It costs less skillpoints to unlock, and less isk to buy. Ofcourse the type II will be a better suit.

If somebody adds mods in an efficient manner, they're OP.
I can't wait for the first person to whine about how Scout suits run too fast, and how they're too awesome with Catalizers hooked up.
Reward, Sacrifice.
Don't like somebody's style? Kill 'em. It's a game, you can do that. Can't kill 'em? Step up YOUR game, don't beg to ret.ard everyone else.

flux?

Dont really have a problem with type-II's but it buggs me that they have more CPU/PG then the type-I. To be perfectly honest they just need to buff the armor repair modules by 100%. So that the basic is 4HP/s, enhanced 6HP/s and complex 10HP/s. Most people have a issue with shield vs armor cause shields allow you to go back into battle much faster after you have beeing hit quite hard while armor regenerates painfully slow. Funny thing on vehicles is that armor repairs are beast and the most efficent reps in the game. But on the other hand CCP provided the community with allready alot of tools to help armor out. For example:
-repair tool
- armor repairing nanohives
Nano hives which repair armor are the following:
-compact nanohive
-k17/D Nanohive
-K-CR Triage nanohive
-W+¡yrkomi Triage nanohive

The compact is quite handy cause it gives ammo and armor (lvl 2), the K17/D is a hybrid like the compact but does a worse job but lasts longer and the K-CR/W+¡yrkomi triage nano hives are beasts cause they produce a very large nanite bubble and are only for repairing at a very good rate (around 50hp per boost).

lol dude. that's what Assaults did to EVERYONE else. lmao

they couldn't hang against niche game, and cried for everything to be controlled.

"Too many sniper perches!"
"Maps are too big!"
"Heavies are too hard to kill!"

You name it.
