I gave the best solution to this problem, hands down. Every other "fix" would break the Logi class, or make assaults unstoppable.

I'm a proto gall logi. A real one, not one that runs around with 6 triage hives. I run full logi suit, with all things necesary to give my team the edge. If you use your logi as an assault then you really are hurting your team. With all the one ups I give to my mates, They can win most engagements.

If someone doesnt like people using logi as an assault, they really don't know that that same logi with 6 triage hives die to a flux and a few rounds by my mates.

I kept them alive so they can kill you. And as a a fake logi, no one is keeping your teamates alive.

weird i fit all proto type nanohives on my logi and have pretty good defences(630EHP) on a ADV suit(std AR),I have to use some lows for CPU/PG mods but hey thts the price i pay for wanting better equpiment over offensive/defences capabilities. When you take into account that logis have high BASE CPU/PG AND the slots to tank it seem kinda excessive to need all the CPU/PG to be able to fit most if all your suit with proto lvl things at proto without mods.

What most people fail to realize that when people say "logi is OP", they don't mean that logi is simply a better fighter.
It's that they're pretty much the same as the assault (with a few swaps, like less speed but more eHP) BUT get 3-4 equipment slots.
When people stack plates and extenders in these threads to show that logis aren't that far ahead eHP wise, they fail to realize that stacking plates and extenders is not the best of suits.
Here are my logi and assault suits, each are designed to push it to the maximum, I have been tweaking my suits for ages and these are the optimal one's I found:
Note: I have CPU/PG skills maxed, I could not push this suit further.

Gallente Assault:
High:
Complex damage mod
Complex shield extender
Complex damage mod

Low:
Basic plate
Basic plate
Enhanced armor rep
Enhanced armor rep

Weapons:
GEK 38 Assault rifle
Syndicate SMG

Grenade:
M1 Locus

Equipment:
Allotek Nanohive

Armor: 449
Shield: 217
Combined: 666 (huehuehue)
Damage bonus (skills not included): 20%
Regen rate: 7.5hp/s
Movement speed: 4.81
Sprint speed: 7.08
Stamina: 157.50
Stamina regen: 15.75

Not bad right?

Now let's look at the Gallente logi:
High:
Complex damage mod
Complex damage mod
Complex shield extender

Low:
Enhanced ferroscale plate
Basic plate
Basic plate
Basic plate
Enhanced Cardiac regulator

Weapon:
Duvolle Assault Rifle

Grenade:
M1 Locus

Equipment:
Wiyrkomi Triage hives
Wiyrkomi Triage hives
A-86 active scanner
Ishukone Gauged hive


Shield: 181
Armor: 560
Combined: 741
Damage bonus (skills not included): 25% (I could fit a duvolle on my logi, which has +5% damage over a gek)
Regen rate: 5hp/s (Inherent logi regen)
Movement speed: 4.54 m/s
Sprint speed: 6.67m/s
Stamina: 198.19
Stamina regen: 22.89



Conclusion:
Seems pretty legit right?
The logi has more damage, more eHP, more stamina and more stamina regen for the price of speed and a sidearm right?
Oh wait, but that would only be legit if both were combat focused suits, I.E both have one equipment.
But the logi has 4 equipment slots, making it far far more verastile and just a better deal overall.
Especially with the 6x triage hives I fit on my logi, I am ******* invincible inside one of those.
Low on health?
Plop a triage hive, return to battle faster than shields can recharge.
I also couldn't fit a scanner on my assault, making me much more blind.
Also, I could fit a kin cat instead of a regulator to be even faster than my assault, but I prefer the sustainability that regulators provide.


How I think this should be solved:
Two problems that I see here:
1. Logis get 5hp/s on armor inherent, which allows me to give up on a armor rep and put on an extra plate, increasing the eHP gap further. HOWEVER CCP said they will change it once they have the infastracture to do it (something about the code doesn't allow them to put on a more logi orientated bonus)

2. The CPU/PG gap is just damn too high.
Could solve it by either reducing the CPU/PG on logis, forcing them to decide on either being a combat suit or a logi suit, not both, OR increasing the CPU/PG on the assault. (Should also buff the scout CPU/PG and heavy CPU/PG if this is done, just to be fair)

.....You used 2 enhanced armor rep on your suit so that's pretty easy to say "i don't have hp !!!!!" while 2 of your 4 hp slots are armor repa.......

And A gallente logi will never use Cardiac regulator.
So he have less stamina and speed.

Each time you take the worst choice possible for your assault (Come on 2 armor rep ? and only basic plates ???)
And you optimized your logi...

Anyway we must wait than the Logi bonus turn to PG/cpu about equipement THEN you could reduce PG/CPU for logi.

Not to any significant extent.
I am using a standard SMG and yet I am far, far from being able to fit a duvolle.
And minmatar weapons have the lowest CPU/PG in the game.
So do 1+1 and you will see it won't make a difference.

Sounds like you just don't want to accept the difference. Now I agree that those differences are pretty narrow, but the idea was:

Assault = Weapon/offense based bonuses, more firepower, (with sidearms) better base stats, faster regen, not as tanky.

Logi = Support/Non-Combat based bonuses, less firepower, more customizable, worst base stats, slow regen, more tanky.

Both suits have their advantages and disadvantages, but I agree the GaLogi seems better on paper since it can tank more. The assault kind of lacks compared to the others since you don't really have the speed since it armor tanks. It's still a solid suit, but the problem is more on the assault side than the logi side. I'd rather see CCP adjust assault bonuses before they think of touching logistics. Unless you like that shield bonus on an armor suit that is...

Hell, give give the assaults 25% to their base shield recharge and replace the bonus with something more useful like a fitting reduction to weapons (including grenades) and weapon mods. Imagine that stacking with the Gallente assault's bonus, you could probably fit a Duvolle, Ishukone, and M-1 locus grenades at the same time.

Nyaa

I optimized my assault.
I wanted to fit better ****, but my CPU/PG is maxed.

Nope dude.....
First remove your Complex shield extender.
You're Gallente why using 11PG (it's BIIIG) for only 66hp of shield ?

I don't remember but how much Pg cost a Complex damager ?

Would love that honestly.
But less firepower part just isn't true IMHO.
When you have a duvolle with 2x complex damage mods and a 15% proficiency bonus, you just melt things anyway.
I only use a sidearm when I go against 3-4 people at the same time within the same room (no time to reload).
And even then I only need to finish off the fourth guy since my duvolle already wrecked him.

Duvolle with 2x CLDMs and prof 5 can melt anything without prejudice from who ever his on the pleasure end of the gun. Doesn't mean the suit that can fit it is OP.

That's my point, when you use something like that a sidearm isn't nearly as useful, making the firepower difference between a logi and assault nearly non existant.

Alright, I'm off to sleep, meow.

So, a gun that's so powerful that you don't even need a sidearm isn't OP, but a suit that doesn't have a sidearm uses it suddenly is?

See in just putting out straight numbers you neglect the part where Cat Merc's assault suit is able to use it's increased speed and stamina to flank Cat Merc's logi suit and bring it's EHP down by half before the logi suit can even bring it's duvolle to bear on the assault suit.

In my experience my advanced assault minmatar suit is better for killing than either my proto gallente logi or my proto amarr logi. And that is a 11 mil SP character vs a 22 mil SP character. I will grant you that I build my logi suits to be actual logis, but they both are still pretty well tanked (I think about 850 EHP on the gallente and about 750 EHP on the amarr).

So, youtube didn't let me sleep, so I will stay here for a few more minutes.

I don't see your logic.
If they both have the same firepower (Since we put the sidearm out of the equation), but one has higher eHP, higher stamina and regen, for a lower speed, but 4 equipment....
The upsides keep stacking up for the logi :\

Nerf the damn Duvolle. There, I said it.
