AP or Defense

Defense was king early on, even from MoA defense was more important than AP; just because everything had relative AP anyhow (lights ~7500, mids ~8-8.5k, heavies +9) there was room for changes, but most of the tier parts ended up giving relative AP, but certainly not relative defense.

 

In 2/AA defense was even more important, e-shields could exacerbate this but they were never good enough to be tier and compete.

 

3-SL, it was all about defense, but mostly due to solid shields and shield reduced damage (particularly in SL).

 

NX-LR is more about AP, because the defenses have been rounded out; which honestly if it where implemented correctly (weight/AP ratios) with relativistic defenses; and no solid shield damage debuffing; I think it's the more sound solution.

One thing they never took into account was reducing defenses when parts break, seems kinda funny to me.
