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)

Logis are and will outrole assaults. If ccp wont do anything, the only way is to spec into logi. I play as assault and logi and i do more kills and support and wp with logi.

Also, logis can run longer and regen faster as Cats says. Its damn annyoing that logis do both jobs, without weaknes and looses.

Logi actually have less stamina than assaults. I had to dump SP into complex cardiac regulators just so I can keep up with my squad.

You can easly put kin cat etc. So you have more stamina. Assaults cant bec they will lose 1 slot and they'll be even easier to kill.

Amarr Logi A/1 series is THE BEST MED FRAME at ADV level.Sh*t. The BEST suit at ADV level.
Think of it, 6 low /high slots, 3 eq slots, sidearm , Light weapon,grenade slot. It does EVERYTHING,from tanking up to 900 HP, to be profile dampned with 650 HP,to be a true logi, etc...
(mi personal favourite Logi)

At proto level, nothing beats Caldari and Gallente Logis.

---

-Logis need their Repair Bonus CHANGED to the Gal Logi default bonus:
GÖª All logis get 5% reduction in equipment CPU/PG cost.

OR

-Logis need to have the SAME amound of high / low slots as Assaults. Leave CPU and PG as they are since they will need them for good equipment.

At proto:
Gÿ+ Cal Logi: 4 highs 3 lows 3 equipment slots
Gÿ+ Gal Logis: 3 Highs 4 Lows 4 Equipment slots
Gÿ+ Minmatar Logis : 4 Highs 3 Lows 4 Equipment slots
Gÿ+ Amarr Logis : 3 Highs 3 Lows 3 Equipment slots + Sidearm (@ adv level 3 Highs and 2 Lows {So there is a point going into Proto})

BOTH these options come with a Side dish of:

-Logis need to have all equipment slots full in order to be a valid Fitting.




BALANCE

I want to agree with you, but I also want to say that making them fill their equips is very restricting.

However, I actually want option A and B.

The logi bonus now is stupid for what they are doing.

And by equalizing the potential HP values, you get a good balance between the 3 med frames.

Not if the CPU and PG is left the same. (remember would be the same CPU/PG but with less High or Low slots and with the restriction to have to equip all EQ slots.) They can actually equip the whole 3-4 eq slots full,and have enough to tank very good. Just not the 900-1100+ EHP good they have now while ignoring equipment slots for Ammo/A.Scanners/Grenades/Proto weapons/Proto Modules, etc...

I mean dont get me wrong, Buffs or nerfs i win. I will go Proto Amarr Logi this week.

If logis need to have all their equipment slots filled, then I can't use 3/4 my amarr logi sniper fits.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Thats the idea.

Assaults and Scouts should be sniping. not logis :3

But I dumped the majority of my sp into logis and sniping (not because logis are OP but because if I'm on the frontlines I'll be doing repping instead of shooting) :(

I still would like to see an assault buff before a logi nerf

That's your balance.

All I keep seeing on here is "Mom! He has more HP than me!" FFS we all die just about the same with how screwed up this game is anyway when most weapons' DPS damn near matches or surpasses an average suit's EHP.

Give it a rest. I'm sick of getting hate mail for using my "noob suit" from some butthurt punk that thought logi = easy kill. (I run ADV fittings with ~550EHP and ADV weapons)

Tossing around the nerf bat freely while core gameplay is borked is what ruined the flaylock pistol.

And I'll be damned if the logistics is going to wind up like that. Give it a rest. The problem is on the assault's side more than anything but unlike scouts and heavies that want buffs, assaults have to drag everything down. This community makes me sick.

That logic contradicts with skill customization. The main thing that's driving Dust right now.

But I like my fits and stuff....my logi ak0 is so incredibly powerful

It would be a pain to Re-allocate all of my sp, it's been used in such a precise way that if anything is changed it'll mess up at least half my fits

That was going to be my next point, +1 to you sir :)
