What’s the MODer with protection?

When upgrading from a 5 dot to a 6 dot mod their is a small but decent bump to the primary stat on a Mod with the exception being protection it only bumps up 0.5% is there any particular reason for such a small boost everything else seems to fall in a 3-9% increase range

if I had a base of 50,000 protection the 0.5% increase is a whopping 250 extra hit points not that exciting for what I pay in gear.

Anyone know the answer to why this is?

    Because prot modd used to be the only thing used and they wanted to balance it more between health and prot

    Why not give it a lower amount at 5 dot like 18 or 20% so that the jump to 6 dots and 24% means something more in line with the boost the other mods get?

    Because 6 dot mods are pretty new compared to 5 and remodelling existing mods will end in a sithstorm.

    A follow-up question. I tend to not take circle protection mods to 6 dots coz of only the 0.5 bump in protection %. However, with further slicing possible, should I start taking such circle mods to 6 dots or upgrade other types of mods first. Thanks

    I would only consider that for a mod with an excellent set of secondaries for which you have found the ideal home.

    I agree fully with this resource allocation.

    I find crosses, triangles, and arrows are by far the superior mods to being to 6e and beyond

    The offense boost for attackers is nothing to sneeze at.
