With the DSC respec as a heavy you can choose the race variant that fits your play style. May it be full time Forge or HMG slayer. And if your not a complete idiot and spec'd into multiple suits you can shrink your collection and have a race variant for each of the heavy weapons. And you still get to use all the other weapons. Heavy with a RR is not the most effective killer but it always makes me change my attack plan. So keep an open mind and remember heavies get screwed.

Side note: CCP needs to up the damage to vehicles done by forge guns.

That was a well written pile of garbage lol :-P

Any respec, if given, would have little to do with allowing players to change roles. The respec would be aimed at allowing players to enjoy their choice of racial suits where they previously had none. Yes, like the tanker respec, some players would take the SP and leave their previous role. But, that is not the purpose or goal of the respec. The purpose is to allow players to spec into the suit of their choice. Scouts and heavies are rejoicing about this. Actually, you seem to be the only... I use this term loosely with you... Heavy... That is complaining about the oft-requested arrival of racial parity in drop suits.

Any respec given, isn't for the people who want to jump on the ADS or whatever other bandwagon. Will they benefit from it? Yes. But it's for those of us who are dedicated to a role and wish to fulfill that role with drop suits that were not previously available. Real heavies and real scouts.

By that logic, people with proto rep tools & injectors are being overlooked too.

If someone has skilled a heavy weapon, they clearly wanted to play as a heavy. Now that they'd get a dropsuit respec, they can pick the heavy they never had the choice to before. What's the problem?

basically if you have prof 5 in hmg you could slap it on a militia heavy suit and still own in it. the skills arn't wasted. a militia heavy with dropsuit upgrades and weapons maxed out is still a formidable suit. why you think most folk will run a templar/dren sentinel and then slap std stuff on it. its not like the 1.5 era heavy its back to being great even at a low level

If you're already spec'd into HMG/Forge, sorry there is no going back. But with the HMG fix it is now one of the best weapon on the field. And having a forge is always needed in any PC match, allowing you to be first to get picked.

The thing I don't get is why are you lumping in scouts to your cause. They can use any weapon and anyone can use sniper rifles. I personally hate scouts and thier QQing. "I can't slay, why can't I be a slayer" its complete BS. Everyone needs to stick to the roles theirs suit are made for and quit trying to make them something they are not.

If you are still playing this game, that means you might stick around long enough to earn some serious SP and at some point all your core skills will be spec'd and you'll start branching into other roles. So quit crying about suits and spec your core skills.

Assaults - push objective and slay
Heavy - meat shield slayers/AV
Logi - full support
Scouts - scout(find people/hack unwatched objectives), snipe

Team work wins matches, not gear, sp, and individual stats
