Based on how both of them worked, we all assumed that the attributes were correct.

For armor reps, we all assumed that the three second pulse interval meant that each pulse lasted for three seconds while doing x hp/s for five total pulses (even though interval is being misused here). And for shield boosters, one second pulse interval meant that each pulse lasted for one second and did x hp for five pulses (again, misuse of the word interval).

When I first started and picked shields, I picked them because I saw that the pulse interval was one second, so I thought that I'd get shield back pretty fast. But each time I used my booster I felt that something was wrong but I couldn't identify it at the time.

Well, I also picked shields because I always hated the Gallente looks (I came with two years of EVE experience, which provided my bias).

Let's make this a huge deal. I want my booster fixed NOW! The armor rep fix will be a nerf which is why people don't want it yet and CCP agreed until 1.5, but this would be a buff for shields! And shields need a lot of buffs! Come on CCP, let me see that thing pulse every second!
