Zatara Rought TeamPlayers EoN. 436	Posted - 2013.07.02 17:52:00 - [8] - Quote How many working weapons get extra dps vs shields? Are lazers fixed? The scrambler needs a tighter spread IMO. Any cqc weapons do better vs shields the way OP flaylocks do more to shields any Andes that are like locus that do more to shields? I know shotties don't. How about the fact that armor dies 2nd... Anyone considered the effects of that? The fact that shields must die first before armor? If armor was first to go when getting shot flux's would be op.

Constructive Critisism please Like i said in many other posts, i think the key to balance armor vs shield is to add a penalty to shield. There has been many suggestion on various topics on what it could be (radar signature, bigger hitbox, etc..-¦ But the real key would be to tie a bonus to reduce those penalty depending on the suits : - Say Amarr and Caldari suit get a -5% to shield and armor penalty per level - Gallente -10 % to armor penalty - Minmatar -10% to shield etc.. The purpose being to make dual tanking less interesting as at the moment it mostly favors shield user with the ferroscale and the reactive plate added to the main shield defense that is penalty free. With such a system, you could in fact raise penalties to in fact have them lower that what they are now while skilling up. Another possible way to look at armor penalty would be to lower base walk movement of the armor oriented suit and NOT have the penalty applying to this specific stat (so sprint only). That way, you can actually compensate for the penalty (which you cant now due to the fact there aint no module to buff back base speed) To sum this up, you should have two clear profile : Shield : makes you glow, medium buffer to HP, high regen rate Armor : makes you slow, high buffer to hp, slow repair rate

The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 509	Posted - 2013.07.05 13:04:00 - [17] - Quote Buff damage mods and low slot module that encourages people to run a single tank. Buffed damage mods would help make glass cannons and armor tanks that deal higher damage. Getting players to sacrifice something to gain a bonus on their stats instead of just maxing out defense.

Constructive Critisism please Dude as much as Im sure you put some thought into this/.... you aint nearly on the level of Kitten Empress, Arkena Wyrnspire, BL4CKST4R, and Goebel. Check out their thread see what you think and then post. I promise you what they suggest in there is the only fair way to balance Armour tanking vs shield tanking
Oso Peresoso RisingSuns 120	Posted - 2013.07.05 13:47:00 - [19] - Quote Change armor plate speed penalties from 3% / 5% / 10% to 3% / 4% / 5% Change armor repairer base repair rates from 2/3/4 to 3/5/7 Reduce reactive plate fittings noticeably, change the repair rate and speed penalties to 1/2/3, and make the repair systems skill affect reactive plates. Reduce ferroscale plate fittings.
