Squad up. First thing to do is run with a squad. Help out others along the way, but a well run squad, especially if you have comm with them, makes things so much easier.
Do not worry about getting war points. If you truly want to be a logibro, nothing beyond the survival of your squad, and team, should matter. Trust me, the wp will come. In droves. Just don't go out of the way for it.
Don't run the militia or standard needle just to farm wp. This ties in to the rule above. Your job is not to earn wp for yourself. It is to keep your squad and team alive. Therefore, use advanced needles , and proto if you got the money to spend. That said, don't sweat it if you cant fit an advanced needle. Just make it somewhat of a priority to upgrade it.
A suggestion, especially if your rolling with a squad, is spec into active scanners. Even standard ones will do most of the time, unless a scout has dampeners. On the battlefield, the best defense we have is intel on the enemy. Stand in a safe spot 9relatively safe) close to your squad, and throw scans up for them. Scans only show up for a squad, so if you're alone, you can drop the scanner for something else.
After your equipment slots are filled, Priority Number Two is tank. Fit the best tank you can possibly run. Get your CPU and powergrid upgrades up to fit more tank. If your squadmates go down, your there to pick them up. If you go down, your hosed. Also, you may have to cross dangerous terrain to reach a downed squadmate. Make sure you have the hp to get there.
Do not worry about your weapon too much. Do not fit damage mods, or worry about an advanced or proto weapon, unless EVERYTHING ELSE is up to snuff. Your job is not to kill, it is to provide logistics. Indeed you will need to kill, and kill often, but only to protect your squadmates, or clear an area to go back and revive and heal people. Therefore, a standard weapon will serve you well, and free up CPU and PG to fit better equipment, or more tank.
Above all else, it's a mindset. Many people use logi equipment to farm wp, and some wont rep you if you don't give wp anymore. Some use logis extra CPU/PG and slots to fit "SlayerLogis" and go on massive killing sprees. Some of us (like me) Genuinely like being the logi. My goal in every squad I play is to make us spend the least amount of isk buying new gear, and make the enemy spend the most they have ever spent. I run with a needle, repper, and scanner, And I spend a majority of the game throwing up active scans, reviving people, and repping. I may get only 3-4 kills in a match, I may get 15-16, but I do not pay attention to that. My goal is my squad, and helping them accomplish our mission.
Anyway, just some things I thought of on the fly. Follow them as you will. |

Nanos if you don't have anything else. I roll with needle, repper, and scanner. If I'm not in a squad, I'll switch out the scanner for something else.
What tier suit are you using? what tier tanking modules? I need more data, but if you're in a standard suit, get it to advanced so you can fit the better tank mods in the first place. |
