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.

Also if people are shooting at you get to cover for god's sake! There's never a good reason to be out in the open in a hail of bullets. Get advanced MIn logi, CPU upgrade and complex shield extenders, regulator, and whatever else fits. If you're not shooting your gun much your best bet might be a basic scrambler rifle. Most guys shield tank and when they start getting hit by it or even hear it you might start to feel less pressure. Consider Gallente logi, as their suit bonus is well suited for someone focused on properly logi-ing, and because armor tanking is likely to get buffed soon. Also consider having a fit to start the match with that has 2-3 different kinds of links. Put those out and then when you change fittings use one without links so you can have an active scanner or remotes, both of which are very useful and underrated.
