What would you think of this?

The initial reason it was made like this was that the Amarr and Minmatar faction's were at way and talored their resists against each other, Minmatar against Lasers and Amarr against Projectiles.

But here comes another point, Minmatar can switch damage so the Amarr's resists don't quite matter as much as Minmatarians can just swap to EMP, while Amarr are stuck shooting for squat against 90% EM resists, at least for armor.

If they did switched I think it would balance things out a bit, Minmatar would drop in overall winmatarness a bit while buffing Amarr in smaller skirmishes. Would also help pve'ers too, giving Legions the boost they need.

Thoughts?

Fun Winmatar fact of the day: If you add up the Minmatar T2 resists you have a higher number than any other race's T2 resists.

Vagabond base shield resists in total: 246.9
Zealot base armor resists in total: 253.4

not sure if srs?

This is also before counting the fact that a Zealot has considerably more tank slots than a Vaga, and that the armor compensation skills would actually boost the Zealot's resists while the shield ones are ****.

Probably because resists are percentage based so adding them is le pointless anyway. Also, I like my amarr armor resists, tyvm.
