Plain and simple this time.
Instead of the new shield extender efficacy bonus, please keep the hybrid weapon reload bonus.
I really really need it.
Thoughts? |

I believe the main reason for the change is actually because the Amarr Commando suit has the same bonus |

Then they should change the commando bonus to something more useful. Since the suit is designed for suppressive fire its bonus should be weapon magazine size
...but that would conflict with Minmatar...
well...why couldn't the suits have the same/similar bonuses? |

You don't really want that bonus. Even with the maximum reload speed reduction - 25% - you only shave off 8/10ths of a second for anything with a 3s reload speed. Maaaybe for MDs or Snipers, this is more useful. But unless the bonus is increased, we're probably better off with a different bonus

Well it doesn't affect MD's currently, but it's the main thing making my plasma cannon viable at the moment.
If the assualt suit would get the shield bonus it would gain a grand total of 92 shields (proto fit for max tank). My standard suits would walk away with only 12 more shields. Trained all the way up, too.
Right now that reload bonus is shaving off almost a second, and that second is saving my ass.
So I have very little use for such a bonus when I don't work in protos. However, I think the shield bonus is going to usher in a whole new era of protostomping. |

EDIT: OOPS bad math...
A proto max tank fit is only getting 29 more shields and a standard fit like mine is only getting 5 more.
Not gonna be protostompy, but its all the more reason to keep the old bonus. |

To be honest, the plasma cannon reload skill, like a lot of weapons' secondary skill need to be weapon specific since they're all based around the AR. I'd rather see that done and the Caldari assault get something that goes with their race like an optimal range bonus on hybrid weapons or something. |

I would be ok with this.
I don't need any more shields to do my job. I need more adrenaline.
Unique weapons skills would be a perfect addition to the game.
EDIT: Not to mention I just realized just how useless the new skill really is. |

Yeah, I haven't seen anyone who actually likes the new bonus. I know a certain breach shot gunner that isn't too happy. |

Almost. Logi's are losing about 91 shields because they had a 25% total boost to their shield extenders, as opposed to the 10% assault suits are getting.
They shouldn't be crying about it though, since with 5 complexes as opposed to 4 they're still gonna have more shields that an assault suit at maximum skills.
Oh no I move 6 percent slower...but I have an extra high and low, 2 more equipment slots, and medium capacity grenades...
But no sidearm! The world is gonna end. |
