Riiiight. Except for this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this. And this.

There's nothing at all wrong with armor tanking right now. It's different from shield tanking and that's the way it should be. If you think shield tanking is somehow OP now, which I assume you do since you believe armor tanking is broken, consider the consequences of homogenization before flapping your gums. |

I agree that the penalties for Shield tanking vs. Armor tanking are out of whack, specifically rig penalties, however that's not really my point. ASB's need adjustment, but that adjustment should not involve giving the same mechanic to Armor tanks.
My point is that armor and shield should be different. I don't think anybody wants to see XL Shield extenders to match 1600mm Armor Plates or Crystal sets for armor tanking or Slave sets for Shield tanking. |
