Gold Chestplate Feedback

I think of all the Golden loot available, the Golden Chestplate is by far the worst. The ability to recharge it by performing an assassination is slower than using a shield battery that accomplishes ...

@MossyShambler if you're not shield-celling in combat, then you're not fighting properly.

The gold backpack reduces a 3s cast time to 1.5s cast time, which means you can gain 50 shields back in a 3 second window which would typically be a point in which you can quickly nip in to reload in anyway.

Other gold items help you in combat too, so not sure why this would be a problem? Especially considering how rare the gold chestplate is anyway, surely it would be a sought after item if it actually gave you a bonus.

Also as for your first bit; your whole paragraph justifies why the gold chestplate sucks. You expose yourself, you take longer doing so, and your only benefit is to save a shield battery, which are infinity times more commonly found than the chest piece... so what's the point?

Yeah well my point still stands, it should be about skill and not just that someone found rare piece that makes him offensive beast, backpack already makes you super defensive on medium range as you can shield back super fast

    @Prupisek I'm not sure I follow your train of thought... a shield cell can be deployed in 1.5s, which can mean you can regenerate around 25-50hp before an enemy has reloaded with the Gold Backpack. You're not saying that's overpowered or making anyone a "defensive beast", but it's exactly the same as a reload use. Some scenarios won't require the player to reload during combat... much the same as some scenarios won't require the player to Shield Cell during combat.

    It's basically the same thing. It isn't improving someone's aim with aim assist, it isn't increasing someone's damage, it isn't increasing movement speed in general and it isn't even making you heal faster... it's literally just making your weapon reload faster which would be on par with everything else I just mentioned (barrel mods, weapon mods, bangalor/bloodhound, gold backpack).
