Last time I remember, medics arent meant to be at the front line, so why are they complaining if they cant tank like a heavy?
If the attackers run out into the open and exposing their medic, they deserve to die and the medic has every right to retreat, but instead we have logis who want to run out into the open soaking more damage than an assault and dishing the same amount of damage.
My logi has no problem repping and reviving while laying down supporting fire and staying out of harms way. |

On my Standard MinLogi, I have a Gek, standard Locus Grenades, advanced hives, advanced rep, advanced nanite injector, 2 basic shield extenders, an enhanced repairer and basic plate.
Could I drop the equipment back a tier for more offense/defense capability, sure, but I would be sacrificing my ability to support my team.
I'll be able to stack a bit more defense once I get Elec. and Eng. to 5. I currently have Core Upgrades 5, Elec. and Eng. 3. Light Weapon Op. 3 and Explosives 3 to squeeze as much CPU as I can out.
These optimization skills are still low because I just began speccing into logistics and light weapons. I'm primarily specced in Heavies.
I dont think you understand what I'm saying, I'm not sacrificing anything, the build I listed is pretty much an upgraded version of what my assault can use, I'm not sacrificing defense because thats probably the best hybrid defense available, most armor tankers would agree that complex plates are just a waste of cpu/pg that is better used elsewhere. My assault would struggle just to fit a proto weapon whereas my logi can fit it no problem. As I said in my first paragraph, downsizing from proto equipment to adv isnt even that big a disadvantage in being a logibro when I can still carry 3+ equipment and still be as effective as a pure logibro.
Of course I'm using gallente logi as an example but I could easily get more rep, more armor, and more equipment than my assault with a small sacrifice of a sidearm and negligible speed that isnt noticeable unless I'm running side by side with a medium/light over long distances. |
