you should include milkman

maybe for scouts? I think that's what he was before uprising

Idk about PC matches, but in public games LaFlash is pretty easy to kill with his AUR tanks

i accept this challenge.

Did he just say no nades, sign me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can players who are no longer active in Dust be included?

Honestly there's like at least 5 imp assaults that are as good as a few of the beasts on this list. Like Doug ugly.
Haven't seen them play enough but on reputation alone mojoe and his little brother would prolly round out the top 20.
With a lot of plausible notable honorable mentions.

Heavies in any order unless noted.
Sponglyboy squardoo is the #1 HMG
Chicagocubs4ever Best multipupose heavy (#5 in both categories)
CSRsample #1 Forger Heavy
Whataguyttu #2 HMG
Massive nine
Sprayandpray2 (#3 HMG)
Lecuch (Chrome)
Chaotic crusader
Lance 2Ballsstrong
Hightimes
Ragehart #4 HMG

Logi's difficult. Cause I know of not many really true logi's. just assaults who are good at spreadsheets and went logi.

Tankers
So many but honestly slap26 was probably the best of Chrome with Zitro as a close #2.
Legend345 is the best blaster tanker (best overall tanker post Uprising) with Covert Clay in 2nd place for blaster.
Ninjanomyx is a beast railer, as is imagio Deo. the peek a boo's if you will
Hotchkiss was amazing
Attorney General is a great tanker
Mavado is a beast railer, although he tears it up blasting pretty good.
Bob's tank is op...but his llav is OP
Fighter4all
DarkCloud
Jason Pearson
La Flash
Void Echo
Duna2002 (might just be a pub star but I'm sure he'd be good otherwise as well right? :P)
SteelDark Knight (?) is I think or the guy he plays with they are talented.
Pacificador Iron
Grodd
Sir Meode

Alldin pretty much destroys in any class he decides to play. Best all around player.
Example has destroyed as a heavy, scout shotty, and (as much as one can) a shield taker. #2 Best all around player
Djinn Hellsreaper destroyed as a sniper, heavy, and ar slayer. #3 Best all around player.

Special Mentions
Regular Trooper props for being the best Mass Driver user of all time, with Dia Farron in 2nd and Fiddle in 3rd.

There's many slayers out there who stayed with their corps....despite knowing they would never achieve their true potential as slayers with the incompetence or apathy around them. Kudos for having friends worth sticking around with. I respect that. People like Brutus Hawke for one. Orca Amsel for another.

If you feel peeps should be included please make your case as I am completely open to more players.

I'm making this list not for QQ or lolz or trolling but for legacy. CCP doesn't let give us meaningful stats to derive this, so this is my meager attempt at an updated repost of my thoughts.

Thankfully the original post has aged quite well and most of it was still applicable.

Edit: QUOTE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Also: Unless otherwise noted the lists are not in order of skill, as that would take crowd sourced data, otherwise It's really just my opinion based on a **** ton of time played in this game.

Haha you're alreadt on the list...oh ****! I missed Warlord!? FIXED! FIXED!!!! I SURRENDER!!!!

Man I thought that would get Sota in here

Its kinda lame to hear someone say they quit and still hang around the forums for a couple of months just complaining about the games and reminding everyone about players from the past who quit a long time ago. I guess its just hard for some people to move on...

Nakaya Indigene deserves a spot on the tankers list, no doubt

And

Loss Tovas is the best field commander dust has ever had, not to mention he was a beast shotgun scout in chromosome and an equally amazing amarr assault post uprising

Can i be number 1 scrub on that list? :D

Anyone want to either make his case in a recommendation or alternatively (I know you but not well enough) set yourself up a thunder dome and I'll scrounge up a quality snipe you can best of three deaths with.

I'll say I never saw you put up Sota's numbers (he went like 22/4 vs a full AE team once when he wasn't drunk) but I'll def put you on the list

The forums are the meta.

It was cute the first 5 times, has gotten stale the next 50 times.

Okay. Need to set up a time and a type of thunderdome. Need more info, though. Can you, or are you, in a thunderdome already so I can join it?

Field commanders? Nah sorry

Anyone know who this Tanker is? As I've never seen him in game, and no tanker I've ever known has ever mentioned him ever...at all.

Find 25 (just half of your claim John) posts where that phrase is used. Then come back with your badposting.

I guess most people fail to see the importance of FCs in these games *shrug* oh well

ain't no one got time for that.

Whats the date and time of the one you're in and can we add a spot for another sniper to play you?

Just no way to quantify it. Sorry.

I'll get the info later today. I think it's somewhere around 23:00 Dust time. I'll be sure to get it all planned by tonite so we can do it tomorrow. Who you have in mind for my opponent?

You got time to accumulate almost 3k likes on the Dust forums you got time to build a ******* time machine and come back from 2020 and tell us whether we're wasting our time hoping dust gets better....

Appia if I have a choice. Though symbiotic or liquid might be around. If I can't find either of them or any of ther snipers mentioned on the list...well poop. Dust is dead. :(

I consider Kody Cole, Marston VC, and about 3 others (including QG's himself) what does the community think?



I may be a little pissed at Xero atm....but iconik you are naive. Xero owned with the ar just as much as anything else he dedicated 2. Annie and Jayne are assaults. They ran assault oriented logi suits. Wrong again. Kujo has improved...he played way better in the tourney final than anything I ever saw from you. Steagle was good, but not in the same league as znig, fizzy, or even Rug.
He was a great player, but he's just not in that same league. you can contest this with proof.

Anyone who knew James5955 knows. Against the ass raping Hellstorm fights he pulled a 22/12 score better than any other player who played on either side the entire duration of the fights even in the lagginess characteristic of PC. I don't even think a single hellstorm guy ever broke 20 kills in the PFB war. Other can defend James, but I truly believe he's the best that ever played.
If an overwhelming consensus asserts otherwise I'll change it. I might be wrong.




Not sure if I added Lionturtle of BlameJ simply cause I wanted to confirm their roles. I'll add syd to scout, Lion is an assault correct?
