Well I've been called an "assault logi tryhard" too many times now and its starting to **** me off.

So I'd like some input from you guys and girls, this is what I do:

I run the Caldari Logi suit, no secrets there. In any given pub game where I don't use any of my assault suits I stick with this setup:

- Proto Scanner
- Allotek nanohives (Gives you either 40 armor or 45 AR bullets per impulse, proto level and insanely expensive to fit (88/16))
- Enhanced medkit.

So since the Cal Logi has "only" 3 equipment slots I do use the allotek hives to get a dual function out of them. I do need to restock my ammo and sometimes rep myself. I normally lay down a hive on top of a dying merc before I revive him as long as he is in decent cover, this way I can use 2 equipment for more or less the same job as I would need 3 for if I were to use a rep tool. The equipment costs 161 CPU and 29 PG to fit which limits my tanking ability and I'm down to 667 HP.

(For CBs the medkit gets exchanged for uplinks and my bunny hop extender are switched to a PG uppgrade, which is stupid, I shouldn't be forced to use 2 low slots for fitting modules just to properly fit my logi suit IMO..).

I don't exactly stay behind my squad, I'm normally very aggressive and up front and attacking/defending/killing is my primary task, I support while I do my soldiering, as any logi should IMO.

So I ask the community:

Am I not a "true logi"? And WTF do you expect me to do? I'm just tired of all the QQ.

Please define what a "true logi" needs to fit and do to be "true enough".

IMO, if you prioritize support equipment when building your suits that pretty much qualifies you. If you wanted to get technical, a kill/WP ratio greater than 100 (mines like 160, lol) might be a decent objective criteria. That more or less indicates that 1/2 your WP comes from something besides killing. We don't need to be pacifists, but killing shouldn't be more than 50-75% of our business.

Well clearly you aren't a true logi

True Logi's don't have an equipment loadout that fits all ... they have different equipment loadouts for different situations

eg If your attacking a point or in Dom/Ambush you want to start off with :-

Uplinks/Nanohives/Scanner .. Give your team/squad a frontline with ammo and scan for enemies

If your defending a point :-

Injector/Repper/Repair Hive to maximise repping or replace the rep hive for a scanner to make sure you are reviving people in safety

if you combine those 2 loadouts you can basically have uplinks/nanohives/repair nanohives/injector and repper at the frontlines

You can also combine with remote explosives on objectives etc etc

The key point here is a true logi changes the equipment they use based on the equipment of their squad/team and the situation they are in .. the fact that you referred to the hives you use ' I do need to restock my ammo and sometimes rep myself' indicates that you aren't a true logi .. I run rep hives and a repper/injector because it acts as a stationary rep area for my squad / team to go to if i am otherwise engaged eg reviving a fallen comrade/repping someone else/dead .. if the main reason you run equipment is to benefit you then you don't have the mindset of a logi and are infact an assault logi .. nothing wrong with that but you did ask how to be a true logi

I often switch my equipment out at a supply depot because the situation on the battlefield changes and I need to support my team in a different way

Get out of the mindset of making a perfect equipment loadout .. there isn't one ... create a variety to cover various situations .. the real trick is to know what equipment to use in what situation ..

PS Using an injector and only a triage hive really makes no sense .. Triage Hives have a limit in the number that can be placed which means you restrict yourself to the number of people you can revive and repair // Restrict your own range of being able to revive and rep people ..

I run amarr login with AScR, std needle, repper, adv scanner, and nothing but shield extenders in highs and plates and one repper in the lows. I do my best to keep everyone up and full armor, but there's no point in reviving someone if the person who killed them is right there.

To quote my doc from my time in the Marines, "The best way I can help you guys out is to kill the enemy. Can't do **** if they keep shooting at us."

There are many ways to support a team. The problem with logi is that most of the community locks it into doing one thing (medic).Thats pretty much most of the communities idea of logi.Then you have the bend over support players who follow the communities idea of logi and bash other because they don't bend over like them.Then you have the assault babies that cry if anything other then assaults kill them or your not shinning their Ars.

Last time I checked there is no logi only equipment.Logi Suit also have racial bonuses that player spec around.But like other games the dps always want support to server them their way.How ever you want to support your team as a logi is fine with me .This is supposed to be a sandbox game no one's going to tell me what to do with my sand.Its you sp ,your time invested and if you us aur , your money.

SO
+1 STFU to bendover logi who look down on other support type logis.
+1 STFU to Assault who cry about ever logi not running all medic role.
+1 STFU to Assaults who cry about logi players messing up their k/d.
And +10 STFU to any scouts and heavys(non medic logi complaints)because you have enough problems.
