I switched from Armor tanking to Shield tanking with the respec, and now have buyers remorse for the most part. I did this so that I could have more survivability against infantry. I do for the most part unless someone comes out with plasma cannon, forge gun, flux grenades. Then I drop extremely fast.
The resistance against explosives is nice though as most infantry use that. It does really suck though that if I see any armor tank hit the field, I have to try to run and flank them just to have a chance, or I have to put the dam thing away.
If I see a shield tank hit the field though.... I'm not nearly as scared. I can normally destroy a fellow shield tanker no problem.
After a while of trying to tinker with fittings and such to find something more efficient for me, in the end I feel like there really is only 1 way to go in shield tank to have any edge at all, as passive tanking is barely viable, and even active tanking I only get half my shields back, then have to sit around like an idiot behind a rock praying someone doesn't find me.
I agree with the majority of the people that say Armor > Shield tanks, and I normally don't like to choose sides in discussions like this. |

I actually just went ahead and bought my way back into Gallente tanks. It does suck feeling like I have "wasted" so much SP, but hopefully they will balance some things out later, and I can get some use out of the shield tank. It really does do better against explosives which helps. Might have to just be a bit situational.
Than again, being in armor again last night I kinda realized that it almost doesn't matter so long as I can turn on my repper and get ALL MY FRIGGIN HP BACK. Having played shields all month, and going back to armor is really making me see the HUGE difference.
Unless we get 1 more magical respec, I'll just deal with all the SP in shields. I like driving a caldari death taxi every now and then anyway. :) |

I actually only got enough to just jump into the armor tank. So only have what is needed to get Caldari HAV 1. Where most of my SP are spent that I would like back is in all the shield skills, but I'm sure they'll come in handy sooner or later.
It didn't take me long to get back into an armor tank. Just got back into it last night, but now I have to race in the armor tree to be able to sue much needed armor mods, so I am kind of gimped until then.
I do have the turret skills already though, as well as all the core vehicle skills. So it's not toooooo much of a loss. |
