Speed, even small amounts of it, is huge in Dust. This is especially true, or rather most clearly highlighted, in highly competitive matches. Ironically the value of speed is often overlooked by most players (and once in awhile it feels like it's being overlooked by CCP as well).
Thank you for providing direct feedback on the subject, I hope that more players will follow suit and do some testing along these lines. The armor/shields issue is a big one for the game, but so is the awareness of the tactical and survival values provided by speed. Your test highlights both, which is great.

Just one core locus grenade kills me, even if I put on 4 complex plates, and BOY do they love to throw those around.
Even worse is when you realize that they get 3 of those, they have 7m explosive radius and they can restock from hives.
And then mass drivers.
F'ing mass drivers.
Or Forge gun snipers that kill me in two splash shots.
Yeah, it ain't pretty being a Gallente in a PC battle. I'm hoping the explosive resistance tweak will help, but the sheer alpha of grenades and with how unavoidable the mass driver is it's always going to be a huge problem. Right now, it's incredibly irritating and explosives account for a majority of my deaths.
This has always struck me as odd, take the AoE weapons and give them increased efficiency against the slow targets... humm.
Wouldn't it, intuitively, make more sense to have the EoA weapons primed for use against shields which are fast and thus harder to hit while the direct dps weapons are primed for armor which is easier to hit but has a (theoretically) higher buffer? |
