hackerzilla Defenders of the Helghast Dream 157	Posted - 2013.07.25 23:57:00 - [1] - Quote I have seen a lot of posts today on which is better armor or shields? I won't give you reasons why, but I'll tell you the answer: Infantry: Shields LAVs: Shields HAVS: ATM armor drop ships: I'm not an expert but I think armor is better.
Kane Fyea DUST University Ivy League 1456	Posted - 2013.07.26 00:00:00 - [2] - Quote Correction: Infantry = Dual Tanking FTW. I'm scared of neither scramblers or explosives.

(Amarr is the best so pick amarr suits) When I read that the amarr proto logi is getting an 4th extra low slot, I looked at my gallente suit and cringed. That low slot , racial bonus, and sidearm opens a bunch of possibilities

How is that deception? 5 low slots on proto logi? Sir I assure you gallente is just fine.

xLTShinySidesx Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 547	Posted - 2013.07.26 00:22:00 - [13] - Quote Amarr dual tanking is crazy, especially the logi with it's rep bonus'

I don't want to waste any skill points in armor. Basic suits me fine.
Killar-12 Intrepidus XI EoN. 335	Posted - 2013.07.26 02:07:00 - [17] - Quote 2 things with Armor VS Shields Armor to be an effecteive method of tanking must be able to take large quantities of damage. Sheilds rely on their faster recharge times to be effective. What IS wrong (infantry) Armor Buffer tanking Sheild Buffer Tanking What is correct (infantry) Regen Tanking both shields and armor How to fix these issues Armor plates sould be divided futher (I know it's complicated) into heavy and light plates Heavy plates need a across the board 10% movement penalty and their health should to go as this should have something making them better in comparison to heavies (PG/CPU costs?) 100 HP Basic 150 HP Enhanced 250 HP Complex Light plates need a across the board 5% movement penalty and their health should to go as this should have something making them better in comparison to Medium suits(PG/CPU costs?) 75 HP Basic 100 HP Enhanced 150 HP Complex Ferroscale Plates need reduced PG and CPU for use on scout suits 30 HP Basic 50 HP Enhanced 90 HP Complex Doubling the HP offered by Reactive Plates would help them out.
Killar-12 Intrepidus XI EoN. 335	Posted - 2013.07.26 02:11:00 - [18] - Quote Vehicle Tanking fixing the PG skill would be a great help If the current Armor and Shield repper values are switched around then they will be fixed Fixing DSes is tougher needing more creative solutions than Tanks or LAVs need so I'll leave it to pilots.
