The next release is not far off, why don't you just take a break until then or fool around with a different role / setup that you wouldn't usually?

Nonsense, we stand by it together! Armor tanking may not be as good as shield tanking, but we manage and will pull out our repair tools. Scrambler Rifles may not be as good as ARs and Flaylocks, but we will devastate the masses with them anyways.

And honestly it's not like it's hard to kill with the Amarr weapons, its just that it's easier to kill with the other ones. But who needs that? Its not like we're actively participating in the joke that is Planetary Conquest. To me the people who run maxed out shields and core flaylocks in the instant battles and faction warfare are simply stating that they need every little advantage possible to compete. I am comfortable taking them done even a bit handicapped.


Not really excusing the lack of balance, rather I'm saying be patient. It will get more balanced with time, but it's not like you can't enjoy what we have now.

Nah, I mean if your favourite fit isn't doing well right now to the point that you are not enjoying it at all, there is nothing wrong with waiting it out for a bit. Balance changes all the time and most setups go through good times and bad times. :) Of course the more of a niche your chosen path is, the more likely it is that there are bad times.

Keep in mind that although Amarr in EVE are armor tankers, in Dust they are "balance tankers" if such a thing exists. But anyways it makes equally as much sense to shield tank an Amarr dropsuit as it does to armor tank it.

Carthum Assault Scrambler > Duvolle AR.
The Scrambler is worse than the Laser? Are you high?

These are things that are true.

Oh you poor bastards that decide tanking one specific way is the end all be all
Hybrid tanking FTW

IKR? they should be here crying and circle jerking with all the real men instead of out there in the game adapting to explosions
