I currently have both Gallente and Caldari advanced medium suits, about to get advanced Gallente Logi, have advanced scramblers, mass drivers, assault rifles, SMG, and flaylock (which I am beyond terrible with so switched to SMG). My shield and armor skills are mediocre at best because I keep leveling them up together.
Basically I get things to advanced and then move on to try the next thing.
Luckily I have been able to stay away from investing anything in vehicles because that would just ruin me and I would never get anywhere.
anyone who is serious about this game should not be agreeing with this.
Its unfortunate for new players not to be able to respec, or still being in the 'beta'
this is where everyone did all this testing and got reset and tried other things.
if anyone wants to be competitive in this game.. you NEED to specialize.. first and foremost
going proto for your suit is important, but NOT the top priority imo..
upgrading innates, and specializing a weapon and particular equipment should be the first priorities
when your suit begins to limit you, that's when you grind for the next.
adv level suits allow players to be extremely competitive
innate shields and armor as well as shield extenders and/or armor plating (depending on your style) are extremely useful
core upgrades, electronics, engineering are crucial to be able to properly fit your stuff
if in a corp building up, covering various roles is paramount to success.
we were all at this point, perfect example is my own corp. I have been heavy since day 1.. hmg first, then forge. had another heavy, did it opposite.. started forge, then hmg
our logis started out differently.. each getting their primary weapon, but 1 goes droplinks, another nanos, etc etc
being able to fit the equipment is obviously necessary.
be smart with your SP. ask a buddy if not sure what to spend it on.
until u get over 10m SP you really need to be smart with it |

Dragonfly assault suit
Toxin AR
Toxin SMG
M1 locus grenade
standard level nanohive
complex shield extender
complex light damage mod
advanced armor rep
advanced cpu upgrade
this suit runs me just under 17thousand isk per death and im usually in the top3 of the leaderboard for my team in pubs. its a cheap suit, and with a little extra isk, you can upgrade the aurum items with isk and still profit. I actually run my adv most games, but nice to see your ideas and fits are the same as mine, lol =)
Up until maybe a week ago, I would only run pubs in lvl 1 geat. Lvl 1 sentinel suit, basic hmg, 10% dmg (core locus...sorry im addicted) and the fit cost me 31k (14k is the proto nade). I did just aas well as I do in any suit. Keep in mind I have ALL innates maxed out but u get the point... pubs need to be profitable for everyone, and learning how to make fits that provide u profit at the end of the day is the other side to this coin.
Yes many of us now run proto all the time, and lose isk every pub match, but we also make profit overall because of corproation structure and pc. This is not the norm... |
