What I don't understand is why are the logi's being indirectly nerfed through less and almost ineffective equipment. I have 30 fits that all consists of rep tools and active scanners. I use the active scanner to tell me where the enemy is so that my incredibly squishy fit (compared to all other than scouts) doesn't get killed on my way and in the process of rezzing and repping a friendly.
The short range of the rep tools put logis further into harms way without any real defense. By the way, Why are logis so squishy? Our base shield and armor stats are ridiculous, especially with everyone but the logis new increased abilities to kill and tank rounds or not be seen. The range of the Core focused rep tool already has me dancing around a team mate to use effectively and to try my absolute hardest to not get killed in the process.
The active scanner did need some work, but what I see is a complete overhaul of the way that active scanners operate. A scanner snapshot means nothing to a player in a quick fitting. The extra long cool down times effectively puts the scanner at half the effectiveness of before (forgive me if my calculations aren't accurate), This also means that booby traps to protect your team using REs will become ineffective as well. Everyone complains about the scanner and refuses to use profile dampeners other than scouts 
Nanohives keep us logis restocked and in health because no one else really carries them. The same goes for drop uplinks. In ~75% of the matches that I'm in, I am the only person carrying any equipment at all. This is doubly so for ambushes. The only time that I see the light shows and general uplink and hive spam is when I'm in a match with a "Name Brand" corporation with overzealous players. You know who you are, your trolling will be ignored.
I have more thoughts on the subject but I'm really just saying that something has to be done to help the logi class survive. Without us matches will be less dynamic and much shorter in duration. I was one of the few that didn't believe in a respec for 1.8. After seeing the equipment changes and considering current base eHP numbers, I'm reconsidering my stance as I'm sure many are. CCP, help the logis or there will be a hell of a lot less of us suiting up as logis.
Just my $0.02
BTW. Slayer logis, I'll see you on the battle field. My CRs love to eat through your suits. Damn posers.
