DUST Search - Armor plates, ferroscale plates, armor reps and reactive plates need their value...

you for get 1 thing. everything does close to double damage to armor. even doubling the numbers on all armor modules wouldn't make it balanced.

if you have 2 complex armor repairs thats only 20 hp per second. a caldari milita suit gets 20 shield back by default. the shiled enegizer's make it so that shields come at impossible speeds. and seriously, doudes running around with 500+ shields that regenarate almost insantly and that are resistant to almost everything can't be good. especially since they can also armor tank because armor is a low slot acomplishment.

everyone screams "OMG...THROW FLUX NADES DATZ WAT DEY DER 4...HERPIDDY DERP DERP". seriously, flux grenades are not that effective because its hit or miss, and these guys have no speed penalty they are moving rediculously fast thanks to the movement speed increase that CCP ninja'd into the game. worse yet we have the fact that even from full depletion shields recover extremely fast.

scrambler rifles do wonders on shields but the semiauto one is hit or miss because people move so fast with their shields, the only real way to combate shields is to use an assault scrambler rifle, because the regular AR outguns the semi-auto everytime (which makes sense, the problem lies in that scramblers are the only practical way to combat the shield tanking)

even if the values of all armor mods were doubled armor repairs slower and takes 50% more damage to everything. in fact these values should be doubled.

reactive plates the basic give you 15 armor and repair your armor at 1 hp per second. thats pathetic. i round from an HMG (one bullet) does more than that.

reactive plates in order to be worth anything need to be at least quadrupled otherwise there is no point to having them in the game. (60 armor and 4hp per second) keeping the 1% movement penalty the same.

complex armor plates when 2 doubled would give you 230 additional armor. but think all the explosives and plasma weaponry does extra damage to armor, so it would on begin to help break even.

the solution to the armor verse shield problem lies in give great values to armor modules. (the reactive plates have to be quadrupled or quintipled to even be consideed useful)

Im an armor tanker and even I think that is op as fk.
