Although having two damage modifiers isn't worth it to be honest.
Yeah, you would think having two complex damage modifiers would ease your pain right?
Nope, insta killed by all explosives, out strafed by people with more eHP and regeneration than you because plates make you slower for no reason, how nice 
And I can't even begin to talk about how all the really useful modules minus damage mods are in low slots. 
And that's of course at the proto level, at the standard level this game is a joke for armor tankers. |

But that's just me. You're an armor tanker, so that makes sense. Using high slots for ganking with damage mods is one of the very few advantages armor tanking suits have over shields since they're limited to buffer tanking at the cost of speed.
Not even that.
Any good armor tanker knows that having half your slots for reps and half for BASIC plates is the best.
The speed hit isn't worth the extra HP.
It doesn't even rise proportionally, complex plates are just below 2x from basic plates, while the penalty is 3.3x from basic plates.
Shield extenders are 3x from the basic version and have no penalty >_> |

- They are the only modifier for weapons
- There are no resistance modules for dropsuit
- They have not any sort of malus, despite giving an unchallenged advantage
Armor is already worse than shield, if you remove damage mods armor tanking will be useless. And they DO have a malus, damage mods use a lot of cpu, much more than shield extenders.
Even with damage mods we are useless compared to shield tankers in most cases.
Just a few tiny places where we win, but there are so many down sides it's not worth it. |
