If you're using nova knives, you need the speed for sure.

You should be specing into the Minmatar light suite since it gives a bonus to nova knives and is faster.

I suspect that CCP made it hard to spec into kinetics because it gives a distinct advantage. Not sure though. Either way, it won't take too long to spec into them.

I had enough speed using minmatar assault so I never bothered with kinetics until I became interested in the light/scout suits. I not have enhanced kinetics catalyzers and run an enhanced light suits and I feel ridiculously fast. It's fast enough to do very well with a militia shotgun in many situations.

Out of curiosity I put the catalyzers on the minmatar assault and I was up to light/scout speed. I'm about to get the complex catalyzers, at which point I will feel like a jackass running around surpassing scouts with an assault suit.

My point is that I agree with Thang that speed is extremely important and I think it's a good thing CCP made it difficult to skill into. If it were as easy as shield extenders, then everyone would be running one and being as dodgy as light/scouts with twice the HP.

My advice would be to just grind for it. I decided to just get it out of the way and it was totally worth it. Getting the 5% from biotic upgrades is worth it enough but if you are willing to grind then kinetic catalyzers are an excellent choice.

Thang Bausch Pierrot Le Fou Industries 39	Posted - 2013.09.03 18:53:00 - [2] - Quote dropsuit is only x1 and biotics is only x2, so it doesn't take long to spec into Kinetics. The biotics gives you +1% for speed with each level so you will very quickly get a noticable speed increase. (the basic kinetic is 5% so you will have 10% as soon as you get basic kinetics) For now, I recommend you use a cardio regulator. I have one on the scout sniper I play occasionally. Combined with the extra speed of my scout suite and the +3% from the lvl 3 biotics, I don't fair too bad. I may not run like the wind yet, but I do run fast for a very long time even with a basic regulator. Would I want to sneak attack with a shotgun? not sure because I have not tried that build yet.

Thang Bausch Pierrot Le Fou Industries 40	Posted - 2013.09.03 19:06:00 - [8] - Quote Another thing: the kinetics take an obscene amount of PG. The basic is something like 10-15 CPU and 10 PG. You may need to spec into engineering to increase the PG of your suit enough to fit one without sacrificing other slots. Then again, the AR is a low PG consumer so you might be okay. The sniper rifle consumes a lot of PG, so I would not be able to fit a kinetic on my sniper fit even if I wanted to (the cardio is more beneficial for that basic fit I think.)

Like the dropsuit Armor and Shield, they are useful regardless of what build you aim for. Biotics is the same. having seen the benefit of just +3% on my mini-logi, I would recommend everyone but dedicated heavies spec into biotics.
OZAROW WarRavens League of Infamy 468	Posted - 2013.09.03 20:07:00 - [13] - Quote Get ur kinetics to 3 for a bit an then save sp an maybe do the same for cardiacs one of each works good, not sure about this build yet but last build I stopped using them entirely because of the hotbox lagging wit speed
