If there is a Rage mod for Health, shouldn't there be one for Shields??

What are your thoughts? Honestly I'm all for it. It would only be fair!  Plus it would make Harrow  or Capitance Volt awesome!!

You mean get energy for taking shield damage? No. That would way OP because unlike health, shield regenerates naturally, it can be boosted by abilities, and nearly every frame is on equal footing when it comes to shielding.

I'm not sure you thought this entirely through. ; p

The reason rage gives back energy as a mod is because, you know, you are taking direct health damage. The point is it's a risk/versus reward mod sort of. What's the risk in taking damage to your shields? Everyone would use this. I don't think this makes sense. 

I would love to see more new and interesting shield mods once we get Harrow and shield gating, but I don't think this is the right direction to go with them.

yeah I didn't.

gaining Energy perhaps not, but gaining something for taking Shield Damage, with a limit, and depreciating over time - could be a very nice Mod.

I would not mind a mod for getting health from taking shield damage, would help against infested and slash procs.

 

You could also take the concept and apply it to universal warframe syndicate mods. Taking shield damage charges up the syndicate blast. So it promotes being aggressive to fire off lots of blasts. Though that may make Perrin Sequence the most wanted due to its shield restore.

Getting health from taking shield damage seems a bit sketchy, but, what about adding damage resistance for a few seconds?  Something like:  For every 100 points of shielding lost to enemy attacks, gain 10% damage resist for 10 seconds (max 75%).  The resist stacks, but the durations all tick down independently.  So basically, the faster you lose your shields, the bigger a damage resistance spike you get for that 10 seconds.

Very true and very 'op" as described by Miser_able. It sounds good on paper, but shielding already comes back fast and on it's own for all frames without intervention and mods. One alone sounds too much, what if now adding both mods? This would be just too much.

Should wait for DE's precise explanation on how their shield gating will work before making threads like this.

Yeah, regardless the mod should probably encourage being aggressive in its use.
