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."

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

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.

Your a true logi in my eyes -P

A true logi is someone that will always revive someone / give them ammo/Scan/Repair someone INSTEAD of getting a kill.

A true logi ends up with a balanced amount of kills (say 6 to 20 kills per game) but insanely high amounts of WP.
Irvine Montigo, a Logi in our corp runs 3000+ WP per game , EVERY game,even if he goes 6-4 /5-5 and so on K-D per game.Hes a True logi, always spamming Uplinks,scans,repairing everyone,running insane distances only to give ammo to a redline sniper ,repairing assets,reviving Everyone and staing in front of the line of fire so he gets killed and not the person he revived...... etc....
TRUE logi.

''I don't exactly stay behind my squad, I'm normally very aggressive and up front and attacking/defending/killing is my primary task''
you are a Murderlogi. Your priority IS NOT YOUR TEAMS/BLUE DOTS.
Nothing to be ashmed of, Its just the FOTM and the best way to kill in everyones opinion........

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".

True Logi in my eyes too.

Logi's creed?

Support first, fire second

We aren't saying you shouldn't shoot people. You have a gun, use it dangit. But at the same time, you shouldn't be choosing kills over supporting your team. If you see a wounded enemy to your left and a wounded heavy to your right, I expect you to choose to repair the heavy every time rather than trying to chase down an easy kill.

It's a fine line, but a good support logi can be a downright EFFECTIVE teammate. Between helping the frontlines push up by giving the squad repair and ammo support, and even taking down an enemy or two.

TL;DR

You should build your logi kit around the idea that supporting your team comes before killing people. I shouldn't be seeing a Logi running tons of damage mods and a proto weapon and then running basic equipment. You have the slots and CPU for the good stuff, let the assaults throw on the cheap equipment and the good guns. You should be running the best equipment and whatever weapon you can throw on there.

Had fun with beercase m8's :) 1 battle was 1kill/2deaths but almost 3000 WP, I supported squadleader (heavy forge). I enjoy more giving the goldenshower than melting faces with my lazer. Another thing is that if I want to go kill mercs, I use MLT minniscout, pistol and RE... so much fun!

wat is golden shower ? is it some kin of therapy to wash joo greed greediness ?

To Mregomies

Teamwork. We win or we lose together. Mrego you are welcome to join our squad if you are bored. We need more support troops. ATM you are one of the best we have had running with us. I would like to see more players going in logi mind like you.

Thank you for the kind words! Tonight is the night. We will cause mayhem! I'm in again around 21 local time. And you, beercase dudes, are so laid back and relaxed in squadcomm. It's hard not to LMAO and wake up wife/kids. Let's take beer and enjoy!
