1. Guardian WP made directly proportional to amount of armour repaired. E.g., you could get 100 guardian WPs for repping 500 armour, but 10 WP for repping 50 armour.

THE PROPOSAL

Overall logi WP should on average be around the same level as it is at present, but in a way that better reflects the battlefield value of specific actions. This should be achieved by making more valuable actions deliver more WP than they presently do, and less valuable actions less WP than they presently do, as follows:

1. Guardian WP made directly proportional to amount of armour repaired. E.g., you could get 100 guardian WPs for repping 500 armour of someone who gets a kill, but 10 WP for repping 50 armour of someone who gets a kill.

2. Increased WP from nanohives near objectives, decreased WP from nanohives near supply depots. E.g. 15 WPs within a certain distance of a supply depot, 35 WPs within the same distance of an objective, 25 WPs when near supply depot and objective, 25 WPs when near neither supply depot nor objective.

3. Revive WP only awarded if revivee survives for 5 seconds, with revive WP proportional to armour restored. E.g. an 80% revive could be worth 100 WPs, a 50% revive worth 65 WPs, a 30% revive worth 40 WPs, but with no WP where a revivee dies immediately.

THE EXPLANATION

Recently I've seen lots of posts saying that logis are terrible and don't contribute anything. This is obviously untrue, as some logi actions are very useful, for instance:

a) Repping someone from low armour to full
b) Placing nanohives near objectives
c) Reviving someone in a safe spot to full armour

So why do some people think logis don't deserve their WPs? The problem is there are equal or greater rewards for useless (or nearly useless) actions, like:

d) Repping someone at full armour and shield for the guardian WP
e) Placing nanohives around supply depots
f) Reviving someone in the line of fire with minimal armour so they die again

I think the present overall level of WPs for logis is about right. But it is abundantly obvious that the WP payouts need to be adjusted to make a)-c) type actions more valuable and d)-e) type actions less valuable. Hence my proposal. What do you think?

Nope I am thinking about guardian. But I guess I didn't explain properly, I meant the guardian reward should reflect how much you repaired the shooter. Because repairing someone 500hp who then gets a kill is more valuable than just locking your tool on someone who doesn't need it. I've fixed the post to make this clearer.

Obviously it does not work fine as it is. Locking onto a full shield & armour friendly, rather than helping out by shooting the target or chucking nades, is WP farming at the cost of the team effort, plain and simple. Same as covering supply depots with nanohives or reviving people in the line of fire. Any genuine logi would want WPs to be rewarded for actions that actually support the team, surely?

If you had any idea how repair tools and weapons work you'd realize that it is totally futile to lock your tool onto someone under fire rather than firing back:

Militia/standard armour repairer repair rate: 25 hp/sec
Militia/standard assault rifle damage rate: 425 hp/sec
