Oswald, if dust is anything like eve in calculating numbers, it doesn't boost you damage based on shields v armor. Hp is hp.

Example someone had 400 shields and 100 armor. It would take 500 hit points to kill them. No matter what weapon you use, it "should" read as 500 damage done,

Until Uprising 1.3 or 1.4 Hybrid Weapons (Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, ARs) did equal damage to shield and armor. In one of those patches they changed it to Blaster vs Rail. So you did (36-40 (depending on Weaponry level) *[number of pellets hit body] + 36-40* [pellets to head] *1.55) * [(percentage from weapon falloff) / 100]

So there is a large range of possibilities as to how you did 500 damage and a headshot.

@ Bojo yeah those proto min assaults have been using both low slots for dampeners now. It helps a lot for them, but still doesn't let them stand up in the shotgun arena compared to Gallente scout :D

Input:>>Computing

Hot dang those guys can get below an Advanced scanner with one complex (and skill). Luckily for me if I max out precision (that's going to be a *****) I can get below them with a Comp Enhancer. Lucky me and by a hair. If they stack Comp dampeners and if I stack comp precision enhancers, they will beat me out. *sigh* this is precisely why I avoided skilling into precision but it's doubtful if medium frames even use dual complex dampeners (unless hella intense match with Proto scanners pew pew)

Yeah, that was my Minja alt (which is rapidly becoming my main )
The two times I have seen you is on my altGǪ and you never die

Appia, if you're running for CPM mind putting a post with a platform out? the Council's chambers are a nice place to do so in.

So, how about those new racial bonuses?

More specifically, the new Gallente logi bonus: +10% to active scanner visibility duration and +5% to active scanner precision per level.

I'm hoping I'm remembering some numbers wrong, but if I'm not, this means that not even a fully skilled scout would be able to escape a Gallogi-wielded proto scanner without equipping at least two profile dampeners.

The Gallogi with the suit at proto level would get 28*0.75= 21 dB scan precision.

A fully skilled scout would get a scan profile of 45 * 0.9 * 0.75 = 30.375.

Adding a complex dampener would lower this to 22,78125, still well above the Gallogi scan precision.

I would assume that adding another dampener would get it below 21, but since I can't remember how they stack, I couldn't say what level it would have to be at. In any case, having to pile on dampener upon dampener to achieve what's supposed to be a scout's main forte - even fully stealth skilled - is just preposterous.

And to add insult to injury, the scanner's visibility duration gets a hefty 50% hike, meaning we'll be on the enemy's radar more or less permanently.

I really hope either of the following is true:

• The numbers that Aeon Amadi has pulled are bogus or temporary, and will change before released
• These changes come with a lowered base scan profile for scouts, still allowing us to hide from most proto scanners
• The scanners get a significantly longer cooldown period

If not, we have yet another indirect scout nerf on our hands. The Gallogi isn't exactly an unpopular dropsuit to begin with.

Plasma weapons get a 10% boost against shields and a 10% decrease against armor
Edit:
Unless you mean that your total damage can't exceed their ehp, in which case it does (or at least it used to), which is why TKing in FW used to be so hazardous for vehicle users.

I think it's about time I asked this.

What does the e in eHP stand for? And whats wrong with plain ol' hp?

Can't remember what the e in eHP means at the moment, but it is referring to total hp amounts since we have both shield hp and armor hp. It may also consider resistances.

Edit:
e = effective?

Edit............huh, rail rifle is bonuses to armor.....I thought it was shields....

Alot of people seem to. I'm not sure why there's so much more confusion around rails than everything else.

On it. /me gets poking stick.

The Amarr Logi's racial bonus will suck since they're removing the overall Logi bonus as well :( I need that +25% to get 7.5 reps per second with one Complex Armor Repairer.

And here I am all happy to get 1/second from a basic reactive
