Is it just my opinion or does the amarr logi (allmost) everything better then the amarr assault? Lets be honest here you loose 50HP on shields but gain more CPU,PG, 3 equipment slots, the 5HP passive reps, the bonus to armor repair modules and 1 additional low slot. All that are by miles better bonuses compared on what you get from the assault
(5% reduction on laser weapon overheat and +5% on shield recharge rate). Its supposed to be armor tanked and it gets a shield bonus (all assaults do that for some unknown reason). So to break it down to survivability:
-loss of the 50hp on shields can easy be compensated by adding a basic plate (85HP) cause it has a additional low slot
-your armor repairs are much better cause you get 2 whopping bonuses (passive repair+module effectivity)
-you have a sidearm like a assault
-3 equipment slots (scanner, nanohive and injector?)

This is not a complain about that the amarr logi is OP cause it is not compared to other logi suits. Its more like that the amarr assault is simply underpowered compared to its logi variant. And dont tell me that using a laser on it makes it valid cause it isnt due to the fact that the AR is and allways will be the best weapon on the game. Scramblers are mediocore but meh.


note:
OP has not specced into any amarr suits nor amarr weaponary. All opinions from the OP are based on observations and weapon popularity and stat comparison.
