Assuming you have about a 500 HP tank...What do you pick in trading 2 complex damage mods for 136/18 CPU/PG for 2 complex shields for 108/22 (148 shield HP)? |

If you're an armor tanker, go for the damage mods. |

if you're at 500 hp without the shields, I would go with the damage, assuming you have adequate armor repair, and especially if you have a decent amount of armor and expect to be getting reps or triage hives. If I was going as a support focused logi, I'd go with the shields. |

Are we talking about the Amarr Basic Frame suit? Becuase that's the only suit in the game with 500 base shield HP and two high slots. To answer your question I would take one complex damage mod and one complex shield extender. |

Get 1-2 shield mods and 1-2 complex damage mods, depending on preference.

depends upon how your squad runs. if you have a bunch of hard-hitting ar guys i'd say go with the damage mods. |

I used to dual shield extenders, but I realized most my encounters I do not get hit that much (since I use the scrambler rifle) so I switched to dual damage mods and have been having a great experience so far. |

Weapon, fitting role? I'd honestly have both configurations for some weapons, opting for one or the other depending on situation. Is our side the aggressor? Probably damage mods. Is perimetre compromised and our side under pressure? Tank mods.
Shotgun? Shield modules. LR? Damage mods. MD? Shields. Breach Scrambler CQC? Damage mods to increase OHKO threshold.
Need a tad more detail on what your game is with this fit if you want specific advice. |

I would go for damage mods with the MD since you're primarily going to be working at range. Any range weapon damage mods > shields, especially if you're an armor tanker. |

As always, it depends on your playstyle.
But if you're using a Commando, you're getting much more use out of light damage mods than any other suit, so they would be generally preferable. |

All I was talking about was these 2 high slots. You could get to 500 HP any which way. I just think that's the bare minimum starting point for someone who is thinking about being a slayer.
Lets say then for comparison purposes...

My thinking was that in the scenario where you flux an enemy and follow up with the MD damage mods might not reduce the necessary number of shots to kill, whereas shields might buy you the time to get an extra shot in before retreating/dying.
I guess that one isn't so clearcut, the damage is likely more useful in many situations where you're in direct support of your squad and fluxing isn't really a convenient option. |

It was said to me once, if you know how to aim.. you dont need damage mods. Dead merc cant shoot back, that works both ways :)
As Regnyum said its situational, depends on weapon, what you are trying to accomplish, squad composition, etc etc. Neither mod is the "wrong" choice, its all about preference which makes these games grander! |

As a sniper I'd go with the damage over the shield, with my current fit I'm hitting for a base of around 450, with headshots I'm hitting for nearly 1000, if it weren't for the complex damage modifiers I'd be less effective versus skilled mercs. |
