So I've been planning out how I want to spend my Certification Points that I've been earning in Planetside 2, and I've hit a snag in the planning process. Each of the basic classes can invest in a Suit Modification for their loadout which can provide a variety of bonuses. Some of them seem gimicky, like the Infiltrator can gain additional cloak upon killing an enemy or you can spawn with additional ammo or grenades, but the most useful of these abillities are Nanoweave Armor and Advanced Shield Capacitor.
Putting points into Nanoweave Armor increases your damage absorption, while putting points into Shield Capacitor decreases the time it takes after damage for your shields to recharge and increases the rate a which they recharge. Both sound incredibly useful, but since you can only spawn with one of the two in a given loadout, it makes sense to invest in only one of the two when starting out.
Unfortunately, they do not give you hard numbers as to how big these bonuses are. If I could compare something like "+5 shields per second out of combat and 10% reduction in time till recharge" to "5% less damage taken", I could make a much more informed decision. Since I don't have that, I have to rely on testimonials from other people who have played this game more than me.
So has anyone had enough experience with both Suit Modifications to recommend one over another for any particular class? Thanks in advance!
