Give me heavy weapons that don't suck and I may consider it.

Till then, my Duvolle Heavy Machine Gun is the only girl for me

Just because you entered the heavies optimal and failed to strafe well enough, or you just happened to run into a very talented player, doesn't make the HMG heavy as good as an AR or SR heavy. I can put up numbers with my HMG too, I just usually have to be with a full squad on comms and I'm generally sitting around most of the time. **** that, I want to fight, not be some bitches turret, and the AR lets me do that.

Your failing does not validate his success.

to many weapons for this to work
also there are no medium weapons soooo thats a thing.

some like their scout with NNs, some like it with a shotty, others still take an smg, I like mine with an AR, heck I even know a few who MD their scout.

so what bonus does the scout get? because a shotgun bonus for the gal logi though it makes sense wouldn't work for me and instead would simply further nerf my suit.

While that Idea might indeed work for eve. In eve there are a greater number of roles in total.
Not to mention we have enough problem with current damage modifiers.

In all honesty I don't actually see why we need an assault class,
the only way to make an assault "Useful" would be to make it the best slayer, which is almost impossible without making it overpowered.

While an assault carrier maybe a damage dealer in EVE, down here in DUST you don't last nearly as long.
The TTK of this game would never support that kind of play. I'm not just talking about assault rifles, I mean every weapon, unless a scout could literally sponge damage it wouldn't be useful.

But it is nice change to see someone thinking about something else, it's not that it's a bad idea, it makes sense, but at the same time, I just don't think it would work.

I'm not really a slayer, but I fit the description of an assault logi and I think this is absolutely how the balancing needs to occur.
