What are the base shield damage resistances on the Caldari LLAV?
I know the Galle LLAV gets like 35% armor resist, but I've seen some beast Cal LLAVs that seem to take almost NO damage to their shields when hit by anything...
Not sure but I think even with actives the Gall LLAV can hit maybe 60-70% total armor resistance... Would like to know what the Cal LLAV can pull since most AV really seems more focused on armor damage in the first place making the Galle pretty nice but something of a hazard |

Still a bit confused on what you're saying gbghg... I realize now though that "Shield Damage" doesn't actually show up on fitting stats for some reason... kind of weak sauce as that's kind of necessary knowledge to have. Maybe CCP doesn't want us to realize that they've made shield tanking broken as hell with actual stat numbers to prove it :P
I'm wondering if you mean to say that the Cal LLAV passive base shield damage resistance is only 20%.
In comparison, the Galle LLAV passive base armor damage resistance of 32%ish which it actually displays.
On top of htat you can put plating to push passive up to maybe 50% and then active modules for another 20-30% armor damage reduction?
With only 3 L slots though it means only 1 rep, 1 energized plate to push it to 43%ish passive, 1 hardener for 20%-30% active... or lose the rep for another energized plate and push passive up to 50%... Tough to pull unless you have a rep tool and can find cover to rep your own vehicle ever so slowly... |

Been informed that the Cal LLAV is likely the same 30% shield dmg resistance, despite the stat being hidden by CCP.
This means with the 4H2L setup it likewise can ramp passive up to 40-50% with actives pushing it up near 80% then possibly.
So, while it might not necessarily have a higher resistance, with about 90% of AV focused on anti-ARMOR and hardly anything besides Railguns and Forge Guns touching shields, the Cal LLAV is likely the more "tanky" of the two. With CCP love of shields and no real shield-focused AV, if you're going for an assault vehicle the Cal LLAV may be the better choice.
I still feel the Gall LLAV is possibly the better option for actual LLAVing as a decent transport and defensive positioning vehicle for members to be able to quick-rep themselves with the vehicle's armor rep module though the CPU imbalance between Gall and Cal makes it a trickier loadout and tighter fit. |
