the Armor Tree is Much better,
but it could still use a tiny bit of a Buff,

=0=Final Thoughts=0=
=Re-enforced Casing=
Less Crit Chance(Receiving) havent had a chance to test this Fully yet,
will update as i get more info on how it works and the numbers behind it,

=Skeletal Density=
Bonus Health to Internal Structure, scales better than Armor Hardening at lower levels,
but at Max(100Ton) both this and Armor Hardening have the same Health value,

=Armor Hardening=
Bonus Health to Mech Armor, changes to armor will change bonus allocation,
for example= if you have 100 Armor and 90 is in the front 10 in the back,
with a 10% bonus you will get +9Front +1Back, ect,

=Shock Absorbance=
Decreases Fall Damage, great for any JJ Build,
and as Leg Damage scales with Leg Health this is also very helpful,

=AMS Overload=
Bonus to AMS Damage, Great for Any Anti-Missile Build,
with this Missiles will dissolve(on a mech with 2-3 AMS its even better)
would not recommend getting these if your mech has only 1AMS though,

Thoughts, Comments, Concerns?
Thanks,

Why is AMS Overload in this tree and not say, in Auxillary or OPs? AMS quite literally has zero relevance to Armor Structure.

@cazidin,
not sure, maybe they see it as more of a personal Defense node?
but then again if so ECM would also be in Defense Tree,

I think PGI is well aware that nobody takes AMS.

People won't start taking AMS just because we sunk skill points into this node.

Our mechs might not even HAVE an AMS slot!

i dont think you can Unlock them if you dont have AMS,

I take AMS on about half of my 200+ mechs.

As to the survival tree's other nodes... you realize more benefits from the percentage nodes on mechs which also still have bonus structure/armor quirks, since the percentages stack with them. For example...I unlocked 12% of armor bonus for my HGN-2C-C. Its currently +8 armor full body and an additional +8 on the Right arm. 12%.
