DUST Search - Am I Logi-ing Properly?

LT SHANKS wrote:

I recently decided to try out the standard Minnie Logi frame and I was wondering if it's reasonable to die about 7-10 times on average per game. I only net around 1-3 kills and about 5-10 assists, but dang, I find it hard to stay alive when I'm usually the target when following someone with a rep tool.

Do not get me wrong, I love the role. Repping blueberries, HAVs, and even installations is fun, and trying to revive players can be a challenge when I have to make sure threats are taken care of and my path is clear for a res. I just don't like the fact that I die about twice as much as compared to my Minnie Assault.

On the other hand, the WP gain is really decent. Even with a lot of deaths and sometimes no kills, I can end a match anywhere with 1500-2500 WP, and I thank my uplinks, injectors, and rep tools for doing all the work.

In all, what should I do to increase my chances of survivability? Should I only rep in cover and support with my AR in combat, or should I continue to follow players with my tool? Is it even worth trying to locate and revive blueberries or should I only revive those who are near me? The Minnie Logi feels like the perfect Logi, and I'd appreciate any tips on how to make it really shine.

With their 1HP repair per level you might want to put on a Enhanced Armor plate for up to 108 (ish) more HP. And a Complex Kinetic Cat. should give you an extra 12% speed (at level 5 you already have +5% sp , speed as passive, nullifying the enhanced armor plate) The Logi suit repairs itself so no need for a n armor rep. On the high power slots i recommend some Shield Tanking and maybe a regulator. Remember to increase your passive skills on Hacking for up to 50% total hacking passive speed (25% Minmatar logi bonus and 25% hacking skills). With this speed and decent tanking you should be able to preform better. -Drop Up-links are always needed. -Rep is needed for heavies and Vehicles , but i suppose you should have an alt load-out that you can use with rep tools when you confirm your team are using them. -The Needle IMO is a must. While playing as a squad you can get decent SP and between this and Drop up-links you can alone make your whole team a swarm menace. -Nanohives, same as Needle is a MUST in my opinion. -Making ALt logis with Prox mines or Remote Explosives can help the team hold objectives better too. Its all about flexibility. Say: Main Logi: Needle / Nanohive / uplinks Alt 1 : Needle / Nanohive / Remote explosives Alt 2 : Needle / upliks /repair tool For example.... My 2 cents
