So I've got nothing special to do this weekend (christmas and new years celebration tend to limit ones budget a little more than usual), I haven't earned my bonus SP this week yet either.
So I figured, why not go for something challenging?
Im thinking of either going for playing around more with the Plasma Cannon and develop... Erm "mad skillz" with it to the point where I slaughter any opposition (you know, sort of what I do now in a tank or as a Logi or as a Heavy). OR getting into AV:ing, proving to all the moaning, spoiled little brats here that tanks CAN be blown up with some wit and sensible investment in skills.
So I'll let the Dust community decide, what should I go for? Or can you come up with another "hard mode"-challenge for me?
C'mon now, gimme a tall and treacherous mountain to climb!
I'll report my decision and progress as I go along for anyone interested in my progression and opinions. |

It's appealing, but I sort of started out my dust career in a speed tanked minmatar scout suit so I already have a bunch of skillpoints in it. (I noticed in the beginning that it was easier to earn skillpoints as a noob by not trying to kill others as much, but rather go for being the fastest hacker in the battle).
The idea here is to start specing in something that I barely have any skillpoints in atm. That's what made me think of the plasma cannon and AV.
Although I can confess I haven't trained a lot in nova knives or scrambler pistols. |

Tried lasers a little as well. I made a Sentinel with a laser rifle (mostly to see if the Sentinel suit bonus concerning backwash damage was useful for something).
The laser irks me though. I don't think it makes sense for it to do LESS damage with a laser beam if your target is "too close".

Alright, one question though, why combo knives and a scrambler pistol? I mean, the way I see it, I'd use the pistol and the knives f+Śr basically the same thing: sneaking up behind people, gutting/shooting them in the back at really close range.
Im not saying that it's uncool or anything, just that eventually one weapon will probably become redundant because I won't see a reason to pull the other weapon out.
Maybe combo plasma cannon with knives?

Just started a new clone dedicated to playing with only starter fits. Makes me look at skill tree development a little differently, and it's definitely hardmode once academy is over! |

Ok, I went with the nova knives light suit fit option.
First two matches went **** and I didn't manage to kill anyone with the knives. I quickly realized that you need at least ADV to pose any kind of threat because you're only going to get two-three slashes in before your victim realizes whats happening, and the low damage on basic knives just won't help.
Third match went better though. Kdr 6/7 and 660 wp.
My fit right now is a minmatar light basic suit with 1 enhanced sidearm damage modifier, 1 scrambler pistol, 1 adv nova knives, 1 enhanced kinetic catalyzer, 1 basic codebreaker and locus grenade BPO.
Let's try a few more and see what happens. Stay tuned! :) |

Also you can get some epic range with a pistol if you can pull headshots, my furthest is 72meters |

If I started a battle and I saw any kind of enemy vehicle on map I'd choose to go AV for as much of the battle as possible.
I made a handful of kills but I had fun doing it. I also learnt a neat trick with the Swarm Launcher where if you aim into the air before releasing the trigger and shoot your missiles into the air they will avoid alot of terrain.
It's probably a well established trick but being the noob I am I just found out about it |

Hehe, then you've played more tactically than me. I switched over from a pistol to an SMG, but I noticed I rarely use any firearms.
Im just doing it like a psycho running after people and slashing at them.
Still, it's pretty hard. But im almost breaking even in kdr at least (most matches have ended with 1-2 more deaths than kills)
Would be fun running a ninja squad! Knives for everyone! |
