{{Color box | color= | {{Color box | color=#222222 | border=#ffeeee | If you have come this far, it may be worthwhile pausing to think about what all this might mean. Keep in mind, first, that the shield begins recharging at the Average Rate and then builds towards the Peak Rate, which it only achieves when the shield is 75% gone. That means that these numbers are not very helpful in combat, they simply give a way of comparing a passive fit against a more active one, or against armor. | ||
Passive fits more or less assume that you will be kiting, or at least firing from long range, and that by so doing, you will not come under intense bursts of heavy fire. In other words, the shield needs time to rebuild itself as you fight. | Passive fits more or less assume that you will be kiting, or at least firing from long range, and that by so doing, you will not come under intense bursts of heavy fire.
