“Source?

Because thats untrue. Everyone has the same HP.”

Read the rest of the thread please.

Did, and now give me a source for your claim that heavies have more HP. Because they don't. They have more shield, but not HP.

“This is far from the last word on the matter, but it's the same source most people use for all their numbers in weapon and gameplay discussions https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...OSWNaanFqSUVxLWc&f=true&noheader=false&gid=13

Anything more convincing would have to come from in-game testing. I would propose testing with a semi-auto scout at <10m range. From the same source, they deal 334 damage within minimum falloff, enough to 3-shot with base 1000 health and 4-shot with nanoweave 1. An infiltrator should die with or without nano 1, and any class with 1000 base hp would see a shift in shots to kill. You could do this with a trial scout rifle and 1 cert per class for nanoweave 1.”

I don't mind doing a bit of testing personally. I will have to gather up a few willing people and mix it up a bit in that case.

“Ran a quick-and-dirty check with a friend earlier today. He had a fresh character with nanoweave 1 on each class, I trialed a semi auto scout (nominally 334 damage at 10m). Stood very close (about 5m, falloff doesn't begin till 10m), shot him three times, then healed/revived and tried again.

Without nanoweave, 3 body shots:

Infiltrator died.

Light Assault died.

Medic died.

Engineer died.

Heavy Assault died.

With nanoweave rank 1, 3 body shots:

Infiltrator died.

Light Assault survived with 3 bars of health.

Medic survived with 3 bars of health.

Engineer survived with 3 bars of health.

Heavy Assault survived with 3 bars of health.

Health seems to be even or very close between the non-infiltrator classes. MAX was not tested because honestly, I didn't think/care to check it. As to why they survived showing 3 bars rather than ~2 as you'd expect from +50 health, I couldn't say. For the time being I'm willing to chalk it up to inaccuracy of the health display gauge, but there could be something more significant at work there.”

Yeah the health display is pretty crappy, this is good info to know and would be better if SOE would be a bit more open with players about this kind of stuff
