Is the extra 10 percent to shield extenders better then the 10 percent to reload bonus?

It seems better imo.

Except for people who were using the Caldari Assault as a means to quickly reload the plasma cannon. Since the plasma cannon is one shot per clip, every little bit of reload time shaved off was directly impacting its rate of fire.

They took the worse Assault suit bonus and made it even worse!!! WTF!

Lets choose which would you rather have a Galante suit that gets 25% CPU/PG reduction to hybrid weapons or 7 extra hp per complex shield extender. That is a max bonus of 28 extra shields in a proto suit that runs 4 complex shield extenders. Most likely in normal (Proto) use that means 14-21 extra HP.


I just add this to the list of stupid ideas from CCP.

Saves me the hassle of specing into logi. Never saw the point cause everyone knew it would be rebalanced.

Let the Respec QQ start lol

I think the balance will shine on the assault suits if the minmatar bonus gets changed to a 25% increase to stamina (and maybe stamina regen as well). If that happens then every racial varient will have bonuses that fits that races attributes.

Wait, what's wrong with bonus to clip size?

You mean other than the fact that is the worst assault bonus in the game and the fact that it doesnt even fit the the supposed minmatar battle philosophy (speed).

If you think 25% is too much I would be willing to have a lower number.....I woudl just like something that is useful on the minmatar suit....instead of having a worthless bonus.

Lmao Minmatar assault bonus is one of the best in the game.

So how do Caldari Assaults feel about the change to there suits?Subscrib

I always thought Minmatar Battle Philosophy is Dakka Dakka Dakka
Minmatar Defense Policy is speed.

How much does a prototype AR cost in fitting? 70/15? Their racial skill then amounts to +17 CPU and +3 PG if it rounds down. Extra fitting is always welcome but it's hardly a stellar skill itself as it affects 1 piece of the dropsuit.
It's also attached to an armour tanker that gets skills that assist it with shield tanking. Caldari Assault actually gets the most mileage out of the shield recharge that comes with Assault so they really ain't hard done by. Honestly, in conjunction with that, the upcoming new racial isn't so bad. Makes the Assault slightly tougher than the basic with a good boost to recovery on their tank type. More buffer between the two important thresholds, depleted shield recharge and death.

None of any what you said matters at all. Its a racial bonus that gives you 28HP (At best) or half a bullet's damage. I'd much much much rather have the 25% reload back, or any of the other suits bonuses.

LOL is all I have to say about this....hmmm

Better than boost to extenders? Nope

Better than decreased fitting requirements for weapons (on top of the decreases you can already obtain through SP) Nope

Better than increased head reduction? Nope


On top of that they now have the only racial bonus that does not even fit with their racial weaponry philosophy.....and its just the worst bonus for the assault suits period.
