DUST Search - Heavy registry

Hi Harry!

Just wanted to leave this here for you as Fair Warning. The Scout Registry had a great run, but in the end it probably did Scouts more harm than good. Six months of data collection, 200+ Scouts, 200+ pages of focused feedback, the biggest SOS the Forums has ever seen. And we Scouts are worse off now than we were in 1.0. So I shut it down.

For what it's worth, here's what I think happened:

Just like Heavies, Scouts got hit hard with Uprising 1.0. If we had never organized, the vast majority of us would've either quit Dust or moved on to other frames. CCP might have said to themselves: "looks like we have a big problem with the Scout suit ... look at how their numbers are slumping ... let's prioritize fixing them ... maybe give 'em something unique to attract folks back."

Instead, those of us who remained after Respec united. We became a bunch of rabid killers, swapping best practices and build suggestions, offering encouraging word, all racing for the next Tier on the Killboard, all making the best of a disgustingly bad situation. So CCP appears to have said to themselves: "looks like we've done a great job with Scouts ... high fives all around ... look at how active they are ... look at how they're playing together and having so much fun ... they even made a big happy home on the Forums ... all those pages ... what could they possibly be talking about in there? ... who knows ... OK! ... time to go check in with MedFrames on IRC ... see if they need any buffs this build ... maybe make some new Rifles."

Be advised. o7

Be advised. o7 ^ I can see CCP giving each other high highfives and chestbumps saying "WE DID A GREAT JOB WITH HEAVIES! LOOK THEY'RE MAKING A HEAVY REGISTRY TO CELEBRATE!" The class is poop, and people should make threads everyday highlighting that fact till something changes. I don't know what outcome you're looking for, but good luck in getting something done with the class. ( ._.) <('.'<) "There there Mr. Heavy, it's not your fault CCP doesn't care about you"

Compared to CCP's standard practice of nerfing things completely useless this is technically a step forward. Besides how bad can things really be? I haven't lost a single heavy suit in 40 games.

Supernus Gigas Art of Assassination 4	Posted - 2013.12.08 07:18:00 - [45] - Quote Ooh me! Add me! I've always wanted to be apart of a list. As for heavy stories, I had my best moment in Dust a few days ago. There I was, with my Advanced Heavy frame and trusty DAU-2/A Forge Gun. My team of blueberries was being annihilated by a squad of proto-stompers from some corp called Naiyin/NayNay/Nayan Cats/Whatever. It was difficult to get anything done, especially with this damn Madrugar and two LAVS running around the place. Over the course of the match I gradually chipped off some of the HAV's Armor, but success was looking dim. Then, the planets aligned ever so nicely. The enemy HAV drove past me without notice and began firing on some helpless teammates, and as I began charging up to put a rail slug up its rear, BOTH enemy LAVs decided to join the HAVs slaughter. One shot off, the HAV bursts into a pile of scrap. I immediately launch a second slug destroying one LAV, and then a third shot takes out the other LAV. Within an 8 second time frame I single-handedly destroyed all of the enemy's armor. Sadly, we still lost that match, but damn that 8 seconds of destruction felt good. Just you wait. One day, all will fall to their knees before the fatty overlords.

Sleekit1 Black Phoenix Mercenaries 3	Posted - 2013.12.08 15:19:00 - [47] - Quote Add me to the list. Started to spec heavy from Chromosome, dumb time to start but if the once feared Heavy is to be so feared again it'll have been a nice experience starting at the bottom. Currently: Adv suits and "Neo" Proto Sentinals (Not going to spec to full Proto until all other skills are at a suitable level) Proto HMG's Lvl 5 on all of the armour tree (the benefit of former Gallante assault spec) 4/5 on the HMG tree Only Lvl 2 Forge Lvl 3 on the SMG tree Lvl 3-5 on Passive skills Question, is a Boundless for all seasons or it it a case of choosing Freedom, Six Kin or Boundless (or Forge for that matter) dependant on the map?

He's waiting for his suit to come back from the tailors but is active. Sad really, on that character I do better in the Frontline starter fit with zero skills in AR than a Adv HMG with enhanced damage mods "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"

Each HMG definitely shines in a slightly different light. Boundless is good for real close quarters stuff, where the enemy is right at the end of your barrel. Freedom is better suited for medium range. I find the assault HMGs are effective at a pleasantly surprising distance. The Six Kin is a strange beast. I don't believe it has any more range than a Boundless(It might, but I'm not sure), but if you can keep your reticle on target you will melt faces with a burst HMG. The Six Kin is also good for giving stationary targets a nasty surprise. Then of course for large open-area maps, a forge gun is a good option for hanging back and picking off targets at a distance. Normal or assault are both good, I don't really care too much for the breach variant. Too many draw-backs, not enough damage. I personally prefer a normal forge gun so I can hold a shot while I aim, but its hard to go wrong when choosing which forge gun to use. Just you wait. One day, all will fall to their knees before the fatty overlords.
TheSprayNPray2 Fatal Absolution 233	Posted - 2013.12.08 19:46:00 - [55] - Quote put me on the list Freedom - the weakest of all three with horrible up close damage and a lackluster range bonus. IMO just use a boundless. Boundless - is by far the most used and easiest to handle when up close or at a distance. It provides kill potential at close and medium range and has a continuos fire potential unlike the six kin. Six Kin- "gods hand in CQC" this is the most powerful of all the hmgs at close and medium range. Its long range potential is atrocious unlike the boundless and freedom. why you ask? the reason is all it does is weaken them up while someone takes it with a ar or sr during your burst cycling. but any suit besides a fully specced out proto medium frame and heavy frames will get insta killed with a burst or two. So what i'm saying is if you have accuracy use it , but if not just stick to the boundless. Hmg rankings #1 boundless #2 six kin #3 Freedom
