the repair tool should give damage to the user to encourge the use of rechargers and energizers.

if the repair tool user received 5-15 damage per second while repairing depending on the tool. this would prevent repairing from being unlimited and make tanking more balanced for real logi's.

Dual beam tools should also be able to lock onto the user when not targeting any other targets to perform the LOGI HUG to self medicate as well as have shield recharging variants ( just increase the targets recharge rate by a %).

Rep Hives...Place em out it turns into a self serve buffet.

Also good for holding down the fort with your battle buddy, that way you can both shoot and stay repped.

Rep tools damage the user? WTF dude? Do people want to have logi's do their jobs or have them kill? Because you need to make up your minds.

Have you, or have you not, had a brain transplant from a horse?

I wanted to be on your level so maybe....

i am a support logi and we are not talking huge damage. everyone keeps saying logis can tank to much and are to good at killing so maybe some kind of negative efect to logis is in order.

your sheilds regenerate after 6 seconds or less for most logis at a rate of 20 hp or more per second so this would only be a temperary effect before your passive repper started to counter the negative effect.

so before you go running your mouth this is a suggestion open for discussion by a logi to make rechargers and energizers more valuable to a logi especially with the sheild extender staking nerf. so try and think before you open your mouth because I would much rather take some temperary damage than lose my light weapon.

6 seconds at 10 damage for a single beam rep tool would be 60 damage before your passive repper would take 3 seconds to recharge you. dont for get your passive recharger delay is the same weather you re taking damage or not.

Maybe even tie in a different repair rate when your passive repper is working like a boast in rate or % of repair the active repair tool does.

*yawn* your suggestion is stupid, your just mad you couldn't kill a guy being repped

Hmmm so tell us wise sage, how is making the Rep tool cause damage to the logi going to solve the slayer logi issue. Slayer logis do not usually use Rep tools, they may carry a scanner, nanohives, etc.,they build that fitting for taking people out not for support.I am trying to have somewhat of a discussion with you about your idea that appears to have the smell of someone who does not have the support logis best interests in mind.Rep tools are for supporting the team, the merc benefits as well as the logi. Another point that you would know if you were a support logi is that the Rep tool does not receive any points for repping vehicles! Every support logi I have seen on the field willgo out of their way to help a tanker, dropship pilot, or LAV stay on the field, so I have the pitiful KDR to show that I 'm a support logi and yes I think I have earned the right to speak on this subject.

you had constructive comment I had no problem with your input.

I use core rep tool on an advcanced caldari logistics fit 90% of the time when im not spreding uplinks or removing installations with a milita forge fit. I carry a scanner a rep tool and a injecter.

there is no limit to the repair tool other then wp timeouts. I just feel it should not be unlimited to use even vehicle turrets supply will be limited soon.

I'm not hating on Logi's I am one. It was a suggestion, one that did not go over well. this was not a solution for slayer logis but more of a use limiter / putting more intrest in energizers and rechargers and make the rep tool have more stratigic use rather than spam repping ( esspecially once heath bars are always visable)

if 60 hp is going to kill you you shouldn't be using the rep tool you should be shooting your gun or retreating to cover

once again the rep tool should only take 60 hp away before your shield recharger takes over. my point is not waiting until you are left with 60 hp. it is not using your rep tool when you are that vulnerable. so if you are almost dead don't rep. almost like it takes power from your shield to rep and that's the rep tools ammo.
