First of all, give me a moment.
ARMOUR GODDAMMIT
Okay, I'm okay now. Moving on.
My H-Sent is 66615, and Rank VIII. I'm pretty much decided on taking the sixth rank of Tech Armor when I get two more unlocks, but I had a question about Shield Feedback.
Does it work as described?
The reason I ask is because looking at its description, it seems like +50% for 6 seconds after being hit would, within the mechanics of the game, behave almost identically to simply having a straight bonus of 50% to shield regeneration and delay reduction. I figure I must be missing something about the 6 second timer that prevents it from applying pretty much every time you would actually need shields.

The cooldown before Shield starts to regenerate is 7 seconds. Every time you get hit, that cooldown resets to 7 seconds.
The 6 seconds from Tech Armor reduce that delay to 4.67 seconds. The buff lasts the full 6 seconds so even if you get hit and the cooldown resets, it will reset to 4.67 seconds instead.
I'm guessing there's a 2 to 4 seconds cooldown between activations otherwise the bonus would simply always be active as soon as you get hit. Just like 2 stuns in a row don't actually stuns the same target otherwise it would lock the target down indefinitely in some cases.

I figured there had to be a hidden mechanic, otherwise it would be an oddly over-complicated bonus. I've noticed that some evo descriptions list the underlying cooldowns, so it's hard to know if the ones that lack it don't have a hidden cooldown, or if the detail was left out of the tooltip. |

Basically, it's that your first ~2/3 shield regenerate faster, other bonuses to regeneration improve this.
I think self damage is also handled differently than enemy damage. Though It needs more precise tests to be sure.
