Movement speed vs protection

So, im still running original style on my rec and ass and im thinking about updating their protection soon.
so what do you think? is movement speed anything to look at? is those extra protection % anything to go by?
do they need it? does it grant me that extra second i need to kill someone?

what is your personal experience and/or what is your philophy on this?


personaly i feel its hard to recomend speed over protection because it feel like the speed is not gaining much, (based on stats) 50 to 45 is not a signifiant amount (or seems that way)

and yes o write terrible when i am drunk

I use Hermes (speed) armour because my theory is, if they can't hit you, you don't need the extra armour! Also important to get to the sniper spot first and scope in before the enemy pops their ugly heads out. The extra defence is done using toughness inserts in my case so I got the best of two worlds.

Dude. I am the tank. Titan armour plus toughness inserts plus a big scary chattergun.

Yes recons with Hermes will definitely run faster than an assault with Titan, but they still run slower than bullets amirite? In a straight-up fight, that recon will die very quickly (and yes "straight-up" means no SR)

That's just how the classes are - recons are either sneaky, or they deal huge one-shot damage but either way can't take many hits. Assaults are blunt - they will run straight at you, and then run you over, and there is not much you can do about it

I find that the extra protection from Titan for Recon is barely noticeable, while Hermes has no disadvantages. Get a gun with good handling, some Hermes armour, and run and slide about ^^

Titan is probably better on other classes though, especially when you combine it with all that other Assault stuff (ie, Blitz shield and Armour Toughen).
