I was going through my skills, just saved up 800k sp to get a suit, i leave the room and my two year old son ends up with the controller and now i have level 4 mimmatar medium suits unlocked.

i was wondering on some feedback as to how i could make the mim suits work.
i HATE the suits, they are weak and have almost no shielding what so ever.
i currently run-

8k ISK cost

---

-assault m-1 suit
-basic AR
-basic sub MG
-basic AV grenades
-2 Milita Shields
-Milita Light damage mod
-Milita armor plating
-basic nanohives

32k ISK cost

---

-ADV M-1 suit
-gek AR
-basic sub MG
-ADV AV grenades
-2 ADV shields
-ADV light damage mod
-2 ADV armour plating
-ADV Nanohives

I have about 230 shields and 250 armour on my cheap setup and 252 shields and 350 armour on my more costly setup, my toon gets torn up in seconds by most AR's and HMG's.
hopping helps but once my stamina is gone, I mine as well drop to my knees and say please.

ANY tips to improve my survivability would be coolbeans.

You have just slightly under my Amarr Assault, however you have to remember at racial level you are getting a bonus to Side Arm Magazine Cap making the use of Flay Lock and SMG very good, especialy since the two guns are already very good now.

I mean I use the Syndicate SMG, basic SMG, and it tears through people, tack the up and coming Combat Rifle on and you have a fast firing burst mid range gun with some short range goodies, and the capacity to speed tank the hell out of your suit.

Knowing that make like All Matari do, and never run for the frontlines, its not in your racial combat MO, you need to flank, get high above your enemies, behind them, etc where you can use cooked greandes, another racial item of yours, the CR, and the SMG to finish them off.

This. (Wow, a tactically trained Amarr - first time for everything... )

Best AV and sniper suit in the game.

Only because it can strafe through tank tracking and blaster rounds and abuse the woefully short lock on time of the Swarmer.

I was going to say because of the 5 high slots...

The speed is what makes it really dangerous.

I was talking about the sidearm bonus. I've seen people using sniper rifles and swarm launchers as their secondary weapon.

Also get used to one of your low slots getting married to a CPU upgrade you will be needing it all the time. You really don't have much flexibility with your lows.

Heck yea Minmatar Assault is good, don't doubt it for a minute. If you know how to use it you'll definitely see it stand out in contrast to the "FOTM" suit[s] (not saying there is or isn't any).

The point of the Minmatar Assault is to hit-n-run (according to how I use it when I tend to go 20+ kills and a measly 6-7 or less deaths a game.

Keep in mind that you can't, by any stretch of the imagination, tank -- Yes, really. No tanking, your armor is **** poor and the only thing that is keeping you alive are your shields, once they pop you're done.

Hope this helps.

Forgetting the vastly superior Scrambler Pistol...
