so not a pure DB load is what you mean?

a few things - one, you're not a raijin. defense is not your strong point.

two - assault mode makes mobility a strong point. rapid response, and charging long range bots.

three - there are two ways to look at this. with sustained damage weaponry, every moment you have your shield down is a moment you can't fire. with burst weaponry, every moment you have your shield down is a moment the enemy can shoot you back. It's a trade off. I do not entirely agree with videos that display the rhino's assault mode as purely a mobility thing, and i am irritated by people who fail to put up their shield to intercept damage when they should. However, don't get forced into a defensive mindset, and while you might want to delay an attack with a burst weapon a short time for the enemy to have to reload, you don't just keep waiting to minimize damage. etc.

So, it's both, not one or the other.

complicated >.<

JAN could probably explain this.... no pressure XD
