I showed someone a Gallente fitting where they can stack damage mods, get 20~22 HP/s regen on their suit, and he went 19-3 the following round, only dying to a LLAV twice, and a sniper. The strafe speed change was a huge buff to armor since armor tankers have a constant HP regen that really comes in handy if you have some good footwork. It also made regen tanking more viable and shield energizers a must have for shield tankers that can't strafe... like CaLogis.

So tell me your fit.
Because I am having a hard time getting a good regen fit on my assault.
Wait, you are probably talking about the Gal logi, which strafes just as much if not worse as a cal logi.

Nope, it's an assault fitting and only works because of the bonus:
2x CDM (3 if you have the PG)
3 Complex Reppers
1 Enhanced Repper
GEK-38 (Duvolle if you have the PG)

It's pretty much the Gallente version of a Minmatar assault.

To be quite honest that's the worst fit I ever saw.
Here is something that I constantly get 20+ kills with and a max of 3 deaths:
2x CDM
1x Complex extender
2x Complex reps
2x Basic plates
Nanohive
Locus grenade
Duvolle AR
SMG

Though my Caldari fit on my alt is way better than this, but it works.

Play around with it for a few rounds, you'll be surprised how much faster you are without waddling around with plates.

Ive toyed around with a build similar to that and can say it works fairly well but is definitely not made for slugging it out with the enemy
Its more of a quick flanking and ducking in and out of cover style of suit

That's the idea. Hit and run tactics with less downtime since you have full armor in less than 10 seconds. With the damage mods, you don't need a buffer because you kill fast enough. Shields can only buffer tank, armor is versatile.

Slap some regulators on those, which go to low slots (still baffled at that decision), and you destroy any armor suit in both speed, HP and regen.

Flux grenades, lasers, and scrambler rifles will eat their lunch 9/10 of the time.

I like this fit, i would probably drop a plate or repper for a cpu upgrade to slap on a K-2 and core locus though, the core locus are too delicious to give up.

Ah yes, i did not take into consideration your assault bonus, i sometimes forget the exist because most bonus's are crap. There are only 2 assault suits cappable of running this type of setup without a fitting mod and all i see is the damn caldari one. I know everyone loves shield tanking but i really do feel the amarr and gallente assault suits are the best, as far as assault suits go IMO.

Not really.
Since shield is high slot you can use CPU/PG upgrades, and those give you far more than -25% CPU/PG on hybrid weaponry.

which leaves you with 2 slots to run what? you will want a repper in one and a plate or regulator in the other. To me with your setup you have a good regen rate for both your hp values, the caldari assault really cant unless he has no plates for all reps and then has 150 which sucks. Even if you just focus on your shield i still think hybrid tanking is superior but i just prefer the regen rate to big buffer. I have been there with the caldari assault suit before respec, i really do feel it is not up to par with the other 2 i mentioned.

Yeh i do get what your saying man and i do agree, going completely in one direction shields is better than armour, but going down both roads is way better than just one. The setup your using is a good one, one of the guys i play with from nyain san uses a similar setup and he beasts all over everyone.

I would say one of his setups is pretty much just that, he runs core nades and k-2 though, he has a few different loadouts. He even used to run kin cats at one stage but i dont think he does it anymore, he used to have 327 armour and now he has over 400 so id say double stacking plates is best. I dont wanna speak on his behalf though, he is a very friendly guy so i doubt he would care about me saying this, all i will say is that based on his performance the setup you have is good.

Edit: oh and this guy is SIG550, if you ever get the chance to watch him in action, top caliber player.

Adv Flux + Proto MD = dead squad most of the time.

I run Gallente logi and am currently sitting at 180(ish) shields and 875 armor. I laugh at Flux grenades, hell halv the time Ill charge into a group cooking mine and just let it go off in my hands then mow em down with my MD. So yes, I armor tank and its funny to see how confused people are when my shields drop and I don't go for cover.

LOL this happens to me alot to Cat , so many just assume because shield is better we all do it lol. Had some guy lob 3 flux at me last night after running behind a hill and then come out guns blazin after my shields were gone.. I was in a proto gallente logi lols, he was a cal assault ofc.

he even knew I had a officer rifle from killing him 30 seconds earlier. sucks that just after the fight a damn militia sniper from the mcc caught me in the head piece :\

Sometimes I wonder if people know there is a thing called armor tanking.
I was just in a 2v1 fight, I dropped both of their shields (Caldari) and they went to cover.
They threw a flux grenade at me, and tried to rush in with their shields still only 1/4th of the way until fully charged.
I murdered both of them.

This kind of stuff happens way too frequently.
And it's not like they didn't know what I was, we were in spitting distance, we could clearly see our suit types.

What, are they expecting me to shield tank in a Gallente suit?
Ridicu...
Wait...
Even that's more effective than armor tanking.
Never mind.

How do you regenerate?
Having 875 armor means you use all of your low slots for armor.

Also, what's your speed?

HP buffer > Regen
