Oh yes, because 1HP/s makes a difference when your shield tanking. And you can go ahead and armor tank a Minmatar suit, but then you lose your only advantage. Your Speed DUST 514 just went full COD.

Cosgar ParagonX 8682	Posted - 2013.12.15 00:08:00 - [34] - Quote Lynn Beck wrote: Auto-Aim automatically gimps minmatar as a whole. Imagine if in Eve, whenever a battleship targets a minmatar, it gains 20% tracking speed as long as it's locked. I think it's more of a TTK issue that hurts Minmatar since we have the lowest base HP. The extender penalty stung like hell (since it came so late) and strafing is all but dead. Minmatar scout and assault are probably in the worse shape since the assault has only a handful of viable meta fits and you can kill the scout with a menacing glare.

I know i've been doing insanely better against gallente/amarr now that I have a gun that makes more sense with my suit. Or maybe I'm just making stuff up. I think you're onto something. That combat rifle is beastly, but being able to put out that much DPS in such a short amount of time makes a world of difference. I've actually started shield tanking my logi with stamina/kin cats in the lows. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

Minmatar Assault Dropsuit bonus +5% to sidearm weaponry clip size per level The passive armor repair is a general Logistics bonus That's 20 more rounds on your SMG. It's reliable for using Combat Rifle + SMG. True, but that's assuming you run an SMG, that bonus nets me about three extra shots on my car9 Now I know what you're gonna say, and quite correctly, but with a bonus that good why would you run anything but amarian weaponry. Also amarian suits gain more passive HP than any other suit, +25% to shield and armour is more useful on a dualtanked amarr than any other suit! Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you.

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 154	Posted - 2013.12.15 16:56:00 - [38] - Quote Which you are right, the speed does make up for what we lose... but then AA came in and made speed tanking useless with 2 lows we cannot Armour tank/Speed tank or use dampeners effectively because if we use one, we lack the rest Our suits our badass when you know how to use them It doesnt change the fact that we average at 500hp And with Aim-Assist it has been a few month long death streak with our crappy hp we are open to ohk scramblers 90% of the time

Means I dont have to fit an Armour Rep if I want to keep that Armour buffer. Only thing I hate about the Min Med is it's **** Shield Regen Rate, base regen of Minmatar Assault is less than the Minmatar Logi's. International Hunt a Wolfman Day 16 / 18 / 20 of December

Oh yes, because 1HP/s makes a difference when your shield tanking. And you can go ahead and armor tank a Minmatar suit, but then you lose your only advantage. Your Speed I like the extra 1hp/s. It means that if you are careful, you can get your armor back. A good shield tanker will rarely go into armor damage, but every time he does, he weakens his longevity. By including a passive armor rep, you increase your overall survivability over time. For example, my current fit has around 470 shields and 165 Armor. I also have a shield regen of around 38 and run a complex regulator in my low. This gives me excellent mobility and recovery for my suit. Let's say that my shields break and I'm left with 90 armor. I get to cover, and let my shields recharge. After about 20s (7 for shields to activate, and around 13 for full regen) I will have recovered my shields to full tank. Also, my armor will be back to around 110, just by waiting for my shields. After another minute, I will be back to full health, without having to rely on any equipment or logi's. Also, this suit runs a K-17/D (R) Nano, so If rapid armor regen is required, it can happen. I feel that this is the REAL callsign of the Minmatar, the ability to be fast and selfsufficient. Mobile, and versatile. They lose the ability to take large amounts of damage, but in the hands of a skilled player, they can be excellent suits on the battlefield. Also, that bonus to sidearms really helps the versatility. Run a breach SMG and enjoy the 90 round clip that you can hipfire indefinitely. Minmatar Faction Warfare: Let's get Organized

I think the max they can hack something is 3 seconds... you cant kill something that has their back turned to you in three seconds with a imperial (or whatever)? The mistake I see everyone make when I'm hacking is to assume I can't hack faster than you can cook a grenade. Don't screw with the grenade just SHOOT ME.
Dunk Mujunk RestlessSpirits 391	Posted - 2013.12.15 17:55:00 - [42] - Quote I've been getting halfway decent results out of my suit. I'm currently running mostly all ADV (no Proto). 1 Enhanced Shield Extender 2 Enhanced Damage Mods 2 Enhanced Armor Plates ADV GEK MIL SMG STD Locus nades ADV Needle I have Armor, Biotics, Core, and Shields all at 5, as well as Extenders and Plates at 5. It seems having biotics at 5 pretty much cancels out the movement penalty from the plates. 5 on my Armor and Shield stuff gives me the most HP possible out of a handful of HP mods. I like the needle since I rely on backup in heavy fire fights, and the needle lets me keep a push going (just wish the revive icon was a bit more noticeable, and it would be nice if it would tell you whether the needle recipient was a squad member). I've gone back and forth on whether to swap a damage mod for a shield extender, but since shields= saran wrap right now, I figure the damage mod is the way to go, even with the stacking penalty (which is a bit screwed up in my opinion). All in all, I have a middle of the road suit that excels at nothing. Not very fast, but not too slow, not a ton of HP, but not a Scout. I can do decent damage, but that is pretty easy for everyone to do, so it's not too much of an advantage. The extended sidearm clip is helpful for me since about 1 out of every 4 kills I switch to my sidearm to close the deal. When I start skilling my SMG it will definitely be an impactful bonus. I also have all my passive scanning skills up to 5. While not game changing, they definitely give me an edge when i'm out roaming by myself away from the main fighting. The best playstyle for me to use with this fit is hit and run skirmisher, and while that's exactly what the suit is suppose to be, it seems like a weird combination of skills and mods to achieve the hit and run result (if I had been planning on being hit and run from the very beginning, I would not have skilled the way I did). I can still get by in heavy fighting, but it usually results in KDRs like 15/10 and 19/16. I'm not complaining. The only other suits I've ever used have been the Dren BPO and the starter suits, so I have no clue what the other races are like. I do wish speed still had a real impact in gunfights like it used to. I've taken to using vehicles for scanning lately. They are cheap as hell and the militia stuff works good enough for scanning, and it really supplements my hit and run skirmish strategy. It also catches people off guard when they take down half of a dropships shields, and instead of the dropship running away a Min Assault pops out to clear an area while the dropship comes crashing to the ground. Every time I try to walk away, something makes me turn around and stay, and I can't tell you why Eagles Dust Tribute

OZAROW warravens League of Infamy 1097	Posted - 2013.12.16 10:50:00 - [44] - Quote I run proto min scout an have A racial logi at 3 so tonight after reading this I used my basic assault adv( which I have never actually used) Basic adv min 2x comp L damage Comp shield Basic plate Comp kin Compact hive Adv CRpro3 Toxin smg pro4 Flux/m1 Worked well, 16/4 first match, still gotta get used to the constant trigger finger since my scout is usually smg, nk, or sg. I like that rifle I do think two lows sucks for the assault an scout but I'm used to having a weaker suit an no extra damage so it's nice to drop heavies so fast. Personally you gotta find a suit that fits your style, if these suits are weak it's cuz you can't toe to toe like other suits, but it is a up set up for the scout an assault because it's a low slot game
