there was no need for a nerf. specializing suits would give bonuses to those that specced into.
Now they have to spec into a suit to be able to use a certain equipment at a level lower than we can now.
The current equipment system would have in no way bee OP with the suit bonuses because it's suit reliant, hence not everybody will be good with a certain thing.
Now everyone will just be mediocre with all equipment and normal with the one the suit specializes in. This is wrong.
A logi suit should be able to do good with every equipment they have and awesome with the equipment their suit is intended for.

Even with the racial bonus' added in, none of it would be "op". In fact, the better rep tools and rep hives would help keep people alive, exending ttk. The snapshot for the scanner was needed, but the cool down time does nothing but encourage me to carry 2 scanners. None of the other equipment should have changed. All they've done, is made the equipment overall less effective, so more of it needs to be spammed to compensate.
Time to stack armor plates and dmg mods.
I completely agree. There was no need. The mechanic was balanced the suits had their HP repair taken away and their bonuses changed not to mention we wont know anything about the slot layout yet. I think that was enough but the equipment nerf was just overboard.

Who the hell is going to go Minmatar logi now that their hack speed bonus is going to be taken away (if what my friends said was to be believed) and all they get is a lousy repair bonus... My boyfriend, who was going to go proto Minmatar logi is giving up on it when he was originally going to logi for me and be able to hack insanely fast. Most of the people that I play with are quitting the logi class as well, saying that they are demanding a respec with this and switching to the assault class instead. 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.
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.
