Nice, my main is a little over 17mil SP and I had been putting in some painful hours trying to find out exactly how I was supposed to not die to people that I wanted to kill with a Minmatar Assault Suit (Adv.) which wasn't easy because I'd been used to long-duration cloaks (somehow my files were 'corrupt' for many months leading to a hiatus from the game) and insane shield regen on a Caldari Scout suit. [I did Min Scout before cloaks]
Now I'm a fairly dedicated Minmatar Assault user that goes positive KDA, and something I've found very useful borders on 'suppression' fire THEN you attack your (solo) enemy nearly all-out:
1. Always stay near cover. No excuses!
2. Eek out of cover to hit your enemy first for a few shots and duck back behind cover to do a quick reload. If you did it right, you probably weren't hit much at all.
3. Exit cover and FINISH HIM! ...or back off if he's proving to be a real challenge. Cook a grenade and walk around a corner for fun surprises.
Why does this work? Well, it's not terribly simple, but here's the gist-
Your clip only has so much ammo in it, and chances are that your enemy might survive your clip through a combo of tank and inaccuracy. By essentially unloading a free portion of your clip onto your enemy, you have 'extended' that clip -- and if they tried to shoot you as they swerved around, you might catch them on the reload or at the very least with less ammo than they usually would have. Many enemies believe they can handle you if you're on the run, only to find an explosive device in their face.
Now, Espla isn't actually the character I play... I'm just too lazy to change e-mails and get a PW I remember for my main account (DUST 514 Name - Kibitt) and the fit I use is almost pure advanced gear, and it's borderline roleplay:
Adv Min Assault-
Highs: Adv Extender x2, Basic Energizer
Lows: Adv Plate, Adv Ferroscale, Adv Repairer
Grenade: Flux (DIE SHIELDS, DIE... and you too, equipment!)
Light Weapon: Combat Rifle (basic)
Sidearm: Flaylock (adv.) <--- It's unwieldy, but rewarding. I have it for the insane burst potential.
Equipment: Compact Nanite (my all-in-one refueling station)
I like the Minmatar suit for its speed and stamina, as well as the dual-tanking being pretty good. It doesn't take very long to repair all of your HP, but the shield depleted delay is pretty long. The extra clip ammo is amazing and often makes or breaks a kill.
I'm clawing my way up in the WP category, but it's not that easy to reach the top of the scoreboard when your competition pumps out WP for throwing down an uplink or some other utility function, and I have to risk my life to do anything... |
