Support Logis as far as we know just got hit hard.
But there is still hope that this was done in order to prepare for something that hasn't been confirmed yet, which is medium suit changes.

We all know of the possible role bonuses Logis will get towards equipment which I am a strong supporter of. The cooldown nerf (and I mean nerf) will mean that even with a possible Gallente Logi bonus it will be very difficult to detect cloaked enemies, which may have been the point.

I also would hope that equipment skills will also have a passive bonuses for those who are serious about it.

If there isn't a way to bring equipment back to where it was with bonuses the battlefield will change radically.

Let's just hope the medium suit stats come out soon...... like a day or two soon. You got my hopes up with the Gallente Heavies and the Ion pistol, and you just shot them down with the scanner nerf.

I should have seen it coming... but it had a cloak on and I had to wait 40 seconds.

Putting an end to "standard access at lvl 1, adv at lvl 3, proto at lvl 5" skills might help the equipment tree somewhat. Even if they only gave out a 1% bonus per level as well as giving access to higher tiers might do the trick.

Who is going to use a core focused reptool with a range of 7.5m? With those nerfs to reptool range why would you bother to spec minmatarr logi which gets a reptool bonus? Just so that you can use them like before? Bah people better stick with the Lai Dai Flux reptool then.

Well there are 2 ways you could do it. 1) Nano Circuitry: +10 Maximum Nanite Swarm Capacity per level (No chamge to skill tree layout) or 2) Nano Circuitry: -2% PG/CPU fitting cost per level Nano Density: +10% Maximum Nanite Swarm Capacity per level, etc (Skill tree now resembles weapon skill tree more closely) Personally I think the first Idea is better, but jist giving the options. As for the scanner nerf, it was the most logical thing to do, while I disagree with logi racial bonuses for a number of reasons, if the gallante bonus made it in without a nerf to scanners, my god the horror. And as I said before if you allow cloaked entities to be scanned as easily as they were going to be, cloaks would be pointless. Although I imagine a Gal Logi with a duvolle focused my still catch a cloaked scout, just. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1

Nanohives were too strong, a single user could supply a squad for an entire match. Reps I can't think of a reason. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Uplinks with 2 second spawn times Repair tools healing from over 50m Nanohives that never run out. And Scanners, don't get me started However, this does also create an interesting situation, why use a drop uplink on a Minmatar Logi? While it does reduce the effectiveness of Logistics equipment on assault classes, it also reduces the effectiveness of logistics on logistics class. I think in time the current descision could potentially come back and bite CCP on the behind. But I have now warned them. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you.

All these changes has already gotten me thinking of new tactics and strategies! Was gonna use the Cloak like it was life support but as I cannot use equipment or weapons I had to rethink some things (still plan on using it). Scout Tactician Dance puppets, DANCE!

While it does reduce the effectiveness of Logistics equipment on assault classes, it also reduces the effectiveness of logistics on logistics class. Hopefully they'll give all logis a slight bonus to the three types of equipment they aren't "specialised" for, maybe 25-50% of the full bonus. That or have each logi have a bonus for at least two types of equipment.

Well you see that's the problem, CCP apparently are experiencing a lack of programmers, so they can't modify the code to allow more than 2 skills per suit. So what I think, is that the current skills are only for testing andmwill eventually all be bunged under a "Equipment Bonus" Skill. Once we have them programmers to do it. It would make more sense.

Beld Errmon The Southern Legion 1251	Posted - 2014.01.22 10:31:00 - [20] - Quote They are nerfing the base stats so each logi type has a reason to be run and optimal equipment to use, in general they won't be worse on the suits that have bonuses towards it, Amarr logi for uplink spam, gallente for scanners, ect ect. Your logi will still do all the equipment, but only one type particularly well.

The medium frame in general should have less killing power than a heavy in cqc but at distance murder the heavy. The logi is a support role if you don't like it get out.

If you're any class other than logi you shouldn't be super proficient with equipment, that's not your job and I don't care if you've maxed the skills. The gear still functions decently and if you want to specialise and be more proficient with a certain piece of equipment, you can. I also don't care for those who want to have their cake and eat it too. You can't have everything, like the whiney bitches who moan that they have to sacrifice their fitting to protect themselves against situational awareness mechanics with the active scanner. These changes are good and further define the logi role in the game. Electronic Warfare GOD in the making Proud Minmatar
