Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 5650	Posted - 2014.01.18 12:43:00 - [3] - Quote Gallente Heavy is as glorious as the engineers and scientists have told us for many months. I was waiting patiently to use it, while our engineers were perfecting the design. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos
The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 2081	Posted - 2014.01.18 13:33:00 - [4] - Quote The only thing i dislike about that heavy is that it only has 1 high slot. Which means not the ideal suit for AV with a forgegun. Honestly i still think the amarr heavy is the most balanced heavy with the new changes. 750HP raw armor (without any modules) and it will have 2 high slots allowing me to stack damage mods. I shall show you a world, a world which you cant imagine, a world full off butthurt n00bs at the other end of my gun

No getting ganked by a speedy little scout with an SMG anymore unless you're already almost dead to begin with, no getting blown to bits by grenade spam, no getting 2 pieced by that Thales camping in the redline, no getting obliterated in 3 seconds by that rail rifle 80m away at the top of a hill while you cross a street.

Armor superiority at it's best. a man who knows his stuff. crossing the street as a heavy vs a RR = certain death. But it should be the RR is high dmg and the heavy is slow w/o the ability to fire back at distance.
God Hates Lags Fatal Absolution Covert Intervention 679	Posted - 2014.01.18 14:20:00 - [12] - Quote Unless I'm mistaken the Amarr Sentinel can still outtank the Gallente. It has one less low slot, but 75 more armor which when you add the bonus to armor is nearly 100. Thus the Amarr sentinel matches the armor of the gallente without the speed penalty. As far as bonuses go it has higher resistance to projectile weapons, which are much more prevalent in close quarter fights. The 1 passive repair rate bonus is nice, but pointless when you have over 1000 HP and logis are running around repairing you from miles away with 1000 HP per second repair tools. Doubles ISK

This is true, the Amarr will be able to tank more HP. However, the Gallente will have resistances on it's armor to ALL anti-armor weaponry while the Amarr will take full damage to it's armor from rail rifles. A flux and a RR, that Amarr heavy is in hot water. But with 4 lows you can brick 4 complex plates and run with a logi, you can stack 3 and a repp and have a little buffer, you can go full damps and be invisible to scans and still have a passive rep... hell, you can throw 4 kin cats in your lows and speed tank it if you really wanted to. A lack of high slots is no real issue since there are no truly stellar high slot modules, but there are plenty of great lows. A shield extender would be a waste for a Galheavy high since all of his resistances are geared towards armor, so damage mod or if your really into scanning the few people near you who aren't damped, a precision enhancer. I would prolly run it really funky myself. I love mixed up fits. I'm thinking...... Complex D.Mod Complex C. Reg Complex K. Cat 2 Complex Plates MH-82 "Syndicate" SMG C7-Flux Maybe swap the Kin Cat for another plate if I'm against sturdy opposition, then drop the cardiac regulator for a repair mod or another plate if I have a logi for really serious fights.

However... tankers, I have one thing to say. Bow to the caldari forge lord overseers, for we shall be your wrathful gods. Newbiest newberry to ever spawn a 10 page Debate
BL4CKST4R WarRavens League of Infamy 1589	Posted - 2014.01.18 14:51:00 - [15] - Quote Depending on where the weapon balance sits, damage modifiers Plasma rifle and grenades, in 1.8 I might go either Gallente or Minmatar with Caldari weapons. I love the Gallente heavy though, it's a true stand and deliver suit vs the usual mow everything down die and re spawn suits. But man those Caldari weapons are to good, and them Minmatar Assault bonuses make for a great long range fighter.

I've been running Minmatar assault since Uprising 1.0, so I'm glad to see us getting some bonuses that make us actual contenders in the assault class rather than a niche class for the dedicated Matari players and light AV players. I just really hope we avoid FOTM status. Buff passive scans & fix TTK! My Closed Beta Alts - Overlord Ulath, Overlord Bosse, Overlord Zero

Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 1830	Posted - 2014.01.18 20:45:00 - [19] - Quote My current heavy: Complex D-Mod 4 Complex Plates Boundless HMG Toxin SMG or Assault Scrambler. Basic Fragmentation Grenades. Guess which heavy I'll be using come 1.8 especially considering the new PG/CPU stats compared to the current ones BL4CKST4R wrote: But man those Caldari weapons are to good, and them Minmatar Assault bonuses make for a great long range fighter. I already do this actually, mix complex D-mods and shield extenders with a Minnie Assault with a Rail Rifle, the high-slot lay-out with the innate fast speed makes it already ideal for that purpose, come 1.8 and it will be a complete and utter buff to my playstyle, no cons. Closed Beta Vet Reading the forums detracts from overall enjoyment of the game

Yes, the ability to completely regenerate your health after at least 12 minutes is going to be a boon to the Gallente Heavy. They should get 5 reps, and 500 armor HP. More Gallentean.

Thinking about that myself, I feel like the reps should go 1/s-2/s-3/s as the Sentinel goes from STD-ADV-PRO. It doesn't really feel like suits change that much per tier, and that would make a nice change. This is a signature.

When i heard all gallente where getting innate reps, i assumed it would be scouts get 1hp/sec, assaults get 2, logi 3, and heavy 4. 1hp/sec on a heavy is near worthless

Buried in the forums there was a great post describing the problem. It had something to do with a game design flaw where the module slot layout to suit advantages works at the Standard then systematically got worse with Advanced and terrible at Protoype. It wouldn't surprise me if the Dev's stayed gun-shy on giving stat line tier bonuses after what happens in closed beta. MCC Lounge Lizard Forums > Game Fix the game CCP
