Well, unless they leave it the same as they are in 1.7, any logi who has already spent the points in both reptard tools and minmatar logi will still be able to help you quite well. Btw this is the one tool that I have foregone as a Logi because there are so many other ways to be better support that to follow around a heavy it is not even funny. I prefer the Minmatar hacking bonus as a Logi bonus on the minmatar suit and feel it fits better.

I prefer the Minmatar hacking bonus as a Logi bonus on the minmatar suit and feel it fits better. Incorrect. The logi had the core focused repair tool that as of 1.7 could barely keep a heavy alive vs a well matched team. The range meant that the logi was always in the line of fire and also meant that there was 1 less gun shooting at the enemy. With nerfed ranges and repair I will barely be able to keep up and will be so into the line of fire I might as well be shooting. I've said this before and I'll say it again. A repair tool should be better at keeping people alive than a weapon. If this is not true in 1.8 all you will see is either an exodus of the logi class or slayer logi's all around because it will be better to shoot and patch things up later than try and rep and everyone die. The heavies got the measly resistance bonus but guess what; apart from being a full proto support logi I am also a full proto sentinel heavy and can tell you how much of a pain it is to be killed faster than I can turn around with 1700 hp. A nerf to repair tool will be bad no matter what.
You miss my point by a wide margin sir. It has always been something that every player needs to do, to kill or be killed because lets face it, even I shoot logi's first not the heavy, and you are not wide enough to be a moving wall for me to stand behind no matter if your armor is full or not. I have way less HP as a logi than a heavy does, and you expect me to be able to keep you alive with something that heals you in front while the enemy comes from behind or throws a grenade? Please.

In short, it's more rewarding to be a slayer logi than to be a proper logi with all the bonuses. As I said, please rethink  this really could be the downfall of the true logis. Many true logis are saying they would rather lose their light weapon slot than lose their equipment. So a logi can't kill? Go play COD. All players are slayer logis there. Get your head out of the sand, I can't deploy equipment for you if I am dead now can I?
Wow, ok. You are right on the mark with that one, I also can't rep you if I am dead is another thing to consider. Just because a Logi kills you doesn't mean that they are playing a slayer logi, it just means that they are assisting their heavy in finishing you off.
Too many times "slayer logis" are accused of being used to run around and do nothing but kill. Sadly this is not actually the case but rather they are laying links, hives and providing scans for people that need them. This is a fact, and while people see they are killed by a logi who is not in fact repping a heavy, they forget that there is more than just a rep tool in a logi's arsenal. There are also REs, Proxies, Links, Hives, Scan Tools, Nanite Injectors, and ...Rep Tools. On my proto logi suit I can't even spawn with all of those equipment items at once and need separate suits for different purposes. The Logistics class is the Swiss Army Knife of Dust, not the Broadsword or Chain Gun you make it out to be.
