Most people I know that used to be assault players back in Chrome, that now use Logi suits all said the same thing when asked why they chose it. Logi's have more slots, and that 5 second passive repair rate once you are level 5. This allows logis to dual tank better because they dont need to use repair mods, also if you dont use side arms you have no need to use an assault suit if you can tank better on logi.
In the logi's defence, minmitar logi's are significantly less effective as "slayers" than the other logi's. Amarr is suppose to be a combat medic, Gallente and Caldari logi's however tend to be the more popular dual tank choices. At least 85% of my deaths are by users of those suits. Hell I know people that claim to be assault guys but wear Gal logi. Gal logi gets the equipment bonus so it allows you to dual tank with armour and damage mods, then throw on decent equipment as well. Using an assault suit has only two advantages: you are slightly faster, and you have a side-arm with each race variant. That is simply not enough for most people to want to use the assault suit. There needs to be an incentive to use assault suits, the shield recharge bonus is only good for caldari. Give the people a reason to use assault suits and they will be used, making logi suits used less frequently, making them seem less OP. Just like mass drivers, people say they are OP, but its because they were used a lot. Now they arent used as much and no one cries for a nerf, yet the gun wasnt altered.
Furthermore, I agree with Cat, I am a logi suit user and I think assault suits need to be given some sort of reason to want to use it. Now it would be less work to just nerf logi's but less work doesnt mean the right decision. In my opinion the heavy and the scout need a buff as well.
On a side note, I would like for the minmitar logi to become more balanced with the rest of the logi's, ever since Gal logi was given the extra slot totalling them at 4 slots the Minmitar logi lost its most appealing feature. Hacking bonus is nice, but who needs that when you can stack 3 damage mods and have 700 armour, AND good equipment. Minmitars are faster so armour tanking defeats their purpose and the base shield is 90 so tanking in shields wouldnt be smart, so I guess you can say the only "true" logi's are Minmitar :P since they cant have cake and ice cream at the same time where as the other suits can. |
