Hey, I have for the past 2.5 years i have been using a much loved set of lg slaves with 5% fall off, 5% hull hp, 5% all turret dmg, 5x armour hp. The hard wirings where chosen with a megathron in mind and dealing with pesky nano hacs, this gave me a great edge to pvp when i first had them but I have found recently low grade implant sets are more common making soloing much harder. I also have a set of low grade crystals but have only used these twice since buying them.
I'm looking to make my first high grade purchase of either Crystals or Slaves, i intend to keep them for at least two years. Im looking for what i am going to get the most use out of. I personally see hg slaves to be the better buy as they are nice both for active tanks and the fotm buffer tanks, the only thing holding me back from buying these is the possiblity of buffer tanks being nerfed making active tanks better for pvp which would make the hg crystals a much better investment.
Ships wise I have minmitar, amarr, gallente bs 5 and like flying battlecruiers and battleships solo with the intention to make interesting pvp videos. I also have booster skills and use blue pills and exiles.
If any one can give me any pointers with there experience towards either one or both i would greatly appreciate it.
TL:DR - Should i buy HG slaves or HG crystals.

well if they nerf buffer tanks you could allways sell the slaves.

Originally by: Jotobar well if they nerf buffer tanks you could allways sell the slaves.
/facepalm I somehow doubt he plans to buy them and NOT use them immediately after purchase.
There's absolutely no question about buffer tanks vs active tanks... crystals won't do you any good if you armor-tank, and slaves will barely matter if you shield-tank, no matter how much buffer tanks get tweaked compared to active tanks. So... forget about what might get nerfed in the future, think what kind of tanking the ships you want to fly will have (active shield vs any armor) and buy the corresponding implants. If in doubt (or you want to go with passive shield tanked ships), you can always just go with Halo or Snake instead, which are both good for speed-tanking (Snake moreso, but Halo also helps). |

It was more of an troll, how do you answer a question based mainly on something that isn't know at this point?
Slaves since they suit you better with existing mechanics or keep lowgrade until you know more.
