There is a lot of focus on specializing when developing your character. There are those of us who can not commit to a single role on the battle field. We specialize in adapting to battle as a whole. I find having more options puts me in a better position to win battles. What can you field? How do you react to the ever changing battlefront? What advice would you give to the next generation of warsmiths?
I have to say I am a proud Amarr son who appreciates the psychological and visceral engagements Dust provides. I have heavy frames, assault suits, and logistics to back my team up. I can don all other suits and weapons at ADV level or better. The exception being Caldari medium frames for I never wanted to be like every other assault at the time. I do have a BPO dragonfly for making money in an ambush. Since 1.6 I have been strengthening my vehicle combat. Tanks alot. I should have ADS next week at around this time. I cant wait to see some Amarr machines out there.
I will get into individual fits later in the thread, if it takes off. I hope to bounce around some trade secrets. Most of all i want to promote diversity. FoTM blows.

I've generally gone for 3 archetypes. Tank, Gank & Flank.
I couldn't bear having a speed hacker (flank) when all I could do was wait for a point to be cleared before I could rush in. So I got myself a Sentinel and tanked it up to the eyeballs so I could stroll in & mess some sh*t up. Hopefully by the time I lost 1800hp, the enemy would be minced enough for a Minja to mop things up.
Then there's my Laser buddy. And if it's not too conceited, I'd say it's one of the few left willing to give a RR scrub a reason to change their underwear.

When most games start either domination or skirmish, I pull out my dragonfly scout suit which has a cardio regulator, hacking module, and a drop uplink on it, You're usually the first to a objective so you can get the first hack which is nice.
Depending on how the battle go's and if im willing to risk a expensive suit or not I could either pull out my prototype logi which cost around 90k isk, my adv logi which is about 30k, or my frontline suit that i threw different weapon and grenades onto which only cost about 2k.
If the enemy team starts to pull out an obnoxious amount of tanks than I pull out my AV suit, its just a standard frontline with av grenades, a nanohive and a swarm launcher, the small SP investment for the standard swarm launcher is very helpful imo, you can fire three swarms before reloading against firing two with the militia variant.
Sometimes when I'm bored I put some RE's on my scout suit, a submachine gun and some kinetic stabilizers thingys ( those modules that make you run faster ) and run around bombing people.
I rarely ever use tanks, but I will pull out my ADS just whenever, never really thought of specific conditions for it I need practice anyway im still kinda new to flying them, if I'm in a squad ill sometimes use a regular dropship to actually transport troops around.
Sorry for the topic being kinda all over the place i dont post ont he forums much.

My Amarr logo is the real murderlogi. As frames go the A-1series is probably the best suit in the game. 3 highs 3 lows and 3 equipment. This thing has a side arm so it makes for a decent AV fit. It has the potential to fill all the gaps in the team. At any given time I have 4-5 set up for various tasks. The best part, it only costs 8000isk.

im skilled into everything with over 16mill+ sp and i do just fine with my playstyle, mostly because i like to adjust my playstyle and adapt to the situation.

I agree. I think being AV made me a better tanker. I also think being a scout made me better at assault. I am adapting my logistics fits around the new routs and play styles I have learned as a sniper. Making sniper/AV nests is essential to controlling the battle field. I found the best fit for a Squad lead is a commando. When you have all the legos who knows what you can build?

I was going to go all scout, but I hated not having a logi on my team when doing so domination, so now I have logistics 3 with standard gear.
So, I have: -Scout 4 -Logi 3 -Assault 1
All Gallente, of course, and my scout is about to be proto after a million more skill points.
I, also, have at least 1 point in every weapon except heavy ones. |

Have you tried the G-1assault with profile dampeners. I made a MLT one as a joke and ended up skilling into G-1series to capitalize on the damage mods. Its like a tougher scout.

I can run STD everything, ADV most things, and PRO few things. Because of LP gear (I only spend AUR on boosters, not gear) I can run LP PRO most things. As time goes on that will be ADV everything and PRO some things. That only puts me in an advantageous position when the equipment I like is inevitably nerfed and I can switch to ADV whatever is left untouched by the nerf bat.
Generalizing in DUST is MUCH easier that generalizing in EVE. With the rapid changes DUST goes through (a once a month patch schedule that I had said CCP would be unable to maintain and I have been proven right), generalizing can only be beneficial. If you specialize and sink most of your SP into a few PRO things, (Swarms as a past example, or RRs and CRs as a potential future example) and those things get hit hard with the nerf bat, well that's tough ****. This is an MMO and that's how it works. Don't expect a respec to stop your tears.
(There is only one specific instance in which I would support a full and final respec, and that's on the patch that bring full racial parity to basic content, being suits, vehicles, and handheld and vehicle weapons.)

message from Godin: I'm a Gal Scout and Gal Pilot. That's it. I chose that I wanted to do those 2 things at the start of my plaing, and have stuck with it. I have PROTO scout suits, PROTO shotty, PROTO SMG, and PROTO everything but small turrets on my vehicles. I have (almost) everyhting I want maxed out. After I do? Well, I'll start maxing out my alts. Maybe bank SP for new stuff that I might like down the pipe. New support skills. ETC. I don't like to branch out very far into random stuff, as I might not like it, and never use that stuff, so it's imo wasted SP. I believe in no respecs every last second, so I have to be wise with my SP.
Where was I going with this? Who knows lol |

Most people forget that last part, or have no idea it even exists....
I run approximately three logi fits that cover most of what i like to do, and three assault fits for the rest. The number of fits vary, as i often spend more time tinkering than actually playing.
For us low-pointers there really isn't much diversification, unless you skill into almost everything like i did and spend a very long time in basic and militia fits....

Hai, someone call me? I love being a jack of all trades - it allows me superior diversity on the battlefield, forcing my enemies into multiple niches that I have access to that they don't. Sometimes it gets rough, not being able to field proto suits, but I generally run a lone wolf anyway, so proto suits would just hurt me more than them.

I can run proto logi, proto commando , proto medium Caldari fram (used as assault), basic amarr assault, adv sentinels (not to find of them though), dropships (incubus ftw!!!) and have every weapon to adv or higher except CR, shotgun and plasma cannon. Only sidearm I have to proto is SMG....but I do fine with a basic one so I rarely use anything higher.

Well if you want specifics, the fit i use the most is the basic Gal-Logi: *2 Militia Pates *Basic AR *Militia Drop Uplink *Militia Nanohive *Remote Explosives
This is my "Selfish Kitten" fit for running solo, a sort of Flanker/Logi cross. Cheap as chips, and surprisingly effective if you don't get caught in any direct engagements. A variation swaps the Plates for a Damper and a Cardio mod, if i start coming across roaming kill-teams.
My true Flanker fit is a basic Gal-Assault: *Basic Profile Damper *Basic Armour Repairer *Basic Armour Plate *Basic Shield Extender Basic or Breach AR (I can run advanced and variants, but the price!!!) SMG or Breach Flaylock (blast on the basic sucks, so i'll take the extra damage thank you.) Basic Nanohive or Uplink
Another solo fit, has a bit more punch and survivability than the logi, but less versatile. Once again the idea is to avoid direct confrontation, though with this fit the goal is to tackle other lone wolves, set up crossfires, and generally sow enough confusion to pull a few reds out of position.

My actual fit for Assault roles is a brick tank Gal Assault with flux grenades... I think it rocks near 650-700 ehp? I use the GEK for this one, as there is no point soaking up hits if you can't dish it back.

Every soldier should have Demolitions III ExplosivesI GrenadierIII. Lvl 1 grenades net you all 3types but ADV have the wallop you need. M-8 if you are good.
Drop uplink deployment II is a must. The stable uplink is the perfect equipment for tossing on any suit. Nanocircuitry is also high on the list. The compact nanohive fits anywhere. I would strongly recommend getting all the triage hives. Scanner.
Basic swarms, sniper, and a rifle. You can branch out from here.
Get profile dampening III or better. Suits are your choice.

for the more specialized among us like myself my advice is this: don't react to the changing battlefield, don't adapt to it, but rather shape it. find your rhythm, find what works for you, and work it. force the fight on your terms and refuse the fight on theirs. if there is one thing I have learned it's that your opponent will hand you the upper-hand if you refuse to give it to them first. idiots will chase shotty scouts around corners and run straight into cqc with a heavy. all you have to do is let them. smart players wont round that corner, good for them, there are other fish in the sea.

Proto'd out HMG, Forge and RR with proficiencies.
Otherwise I run whatever suits I have BPO's of. Logi is a common one I use a lot, makes grinding to cap easier. Sniper, dual SMG scout with uplinks. my two BPO assault suits are pretty much left in the corner collecting dust (get it?). I have no idea why people run assault, it's such a boring play style. |

After 1.8, assuming there's a respec, I'm probably going to be a pure Scout. Now that I'm better at it, and know how to properly flank and assassinate with a Scout, it's 75% likely that this will be my skill plan:
5 in Core Upgrades, Electronics, and Engineering 5 in Cloaking 5 in Caldari (or Gallente) Scout. Haven't decided yet, going to play a week and find out. 5 in weapon of choice (Probably Knives and a Rail Rifle). 5 in Shield Upgrades At least 3 in all Scanning Skills, although I'm pretty sure I'll have enough to get 5 in each. I need to check requirements. Dampening > Precision > Range.

Rock is Tank. Paper is AV. Scissors is Infantry.
I have Scissors as a primary for the majority of the match. Paper is a side role I have skilled for that just in case moment. Rock is to yet to be touched.

I do this too. But i've recently built 9 variations around 3 roles... The added abbreviations have helped a bit when one fit might vary in only one area, but only if i can remember what the abbreviation meant...
Shouting doesn't make your opinion seem more valid, it just makes you seem more annoying.

I like to be able to do more and more things, i'm primarily a logi but sometime i play as an assault with medium frames, rarely i play as a heavy, currently i'm spec into gal scout, i wish i would have spec in this before (<3 passive scan and radar invisibility).
I play different roles mainly to have fun, it's like starting a new game.
1.8 it's so secret that nobody know what will be in it, even after patch notes...

Adapting to a battle is always a skill a top player needs. You can't expect to use your one super fit and always expect things to go your way. My go-to fit is the SCR/Amarr combo, but its not practical all the time.
Having fundamental knowledge is key. I suggest players say "f*ck to their KDR" and start experimenting with new suits. You may find something you're good at, or something you enjoy, or both.
I hated being killed by SCRs, then one day I used it, and I liked it. I was good with it, but also, the gun was fun because its a tad different than the other rifles. As I got better with it, I learned to take more risks with it. How many people will jump into a sea of red dots with a SCR and come out on-top? It hones your timing.
But, that set up has counters. Speed strafers are my worst enemy, as my suit is about as fast a glacier. It can't strafe for crap without sacrificing.
Enter the faster mediums frames. Like Minmater and Caldari(Gal is faster than Cal, but gets weighted down with armor), slap on a AR or CR and practice your strafe patterns. Noobs can't beat a simple side-to-side strafe, so that's a good place to start, than increase your skills into movement and learn figure-eights, circles, triangles, and X's(same as figure 8 actually, but I figures I was just copying the buttons on the DS3, lol).
Intimidation is key as well. If someone is shooting at you, and you dart right at them in a pattern, they will exhaust their ammo and usually panic, that's when you strike and go for the kill. Do not show fear, never play it safe, and you'll become better. I've seen players go from a concreted 0.60 KDR to a 2.60 KDR because they simply stopped caring.

I am glad to see more commandos out there. It really is a versatile suit. Two commandos and an Amarr logi is the perfect sub team. Suppression and Aggro. I cant wait for all the new suits in 1.8. I hope they put the focus back on infantry, tanking is like a job. I want to get my boots back on the ground and up my opponents ass.

I started off specialising as a scout/sniper, but now I'm looking to improve my assault game so I've started working up RR. I'm not sure I'm going to ever spec into heavy or vehicles (although taking some dropship skills would probably help a little with the sniping) but my aim is to be able to switch between sniping and being more up close and taking objectives.
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

I would recommend getting your SMG skill up. Don't skill into sharp shooter for it, it will ruin the spray. Fire from the hip for any engagements. I would save the aim for targets that don't see you yet.

I was honestly going to go FULL SCOUT ONLY with a SHOTGUN.
But I quickly realized that playing Skirmish and Domination can be boring sometimes and playing a newbie Scout in Ambush can be frustrating.
So I decided to use my Starter Fit with some shield extenders and a Railgun.. and that quickly made me realize it's okay to diversify a little, but I wouldn't recommend it to a newbie. I still think that everyone should start at a certain direction. So I knew I wanted to be a Scout first. Right now in just under a week with this character though, I'm barely at a Million SP, but I did a better job of choosing my starting skills for a Scout and yes.. I started at Light and dumped most my points on Speed. It's worked better than what I did before and also learning how to play my class by not being seen and Sprinting inside building and using a Militia shotgun to blast opposing hackers has worked well for me, but that can get boring. So I put points into RR and deploy in my Starter Fit and can surpassingly wreck some havoc without being too slow.
Popularity is not an attribute of a Scout, unless it's the afterlife.

Honestly how i started branching out was helping people with their fits? I couldn't give good advice just being heavy. At that time i only had Heavy type II and Sver logi.
I made a rule. Use my cap to fill out my main playstyle and then use the 1.5k every match to try new things. A year later i have everything. If you cant do it in a basic suit i would try something else. after you get used to what you like you can start skilling into that with your weekly SP. keep adding cheap gear after you've capped and you will play longer and better each week.
my first assault suit had a crg and armor plates back in chrome. I never really had a desire to make the copy paste suits all the pros use. Its gear exploits that make FoTM, i like being resourceful and creative and deadly in my own way. Ask my tanker, he lectures me constantly about getting out of my tank. to each his own.
If you want to do more than camp spawns and pew pew. look into being a Warsmith.

Well, I freely admit I'm not all that good at the close game. And whilst I am a woman, I don't think I get all flustered. Of course remembering to actually switch to the SMG at closer ranges will be one of my next goals. Along with improving my RR game of course.

I'm not ripping on you. Its been my experience training females that the SMG is better. I'm sure there are exceptions. I use my side arm any where there are corners, doors, stairs. The ScP is pretty good at range too and i run faster with it out.

We do more than 1 job each, but the thing is against infantry we are overwhelming, even against other squads or wolfpacks, no matter how many roles you can do, you can't do them at the same time and they don't help against mass numbers.

Yeah true, don't get me wrong "Omni-Soliders" are important, they make a contribution to the field that no specalized unit can do, but at the same time. Even when you are level 5 at everything, the fact that you actively engage in so many roles, probably even per match meams that when you come up against a specalist you will be at a disadvantage.

Indeed it does, despite having no physical changes since 1.1 I think, other weapons, lighting effects and just the general feel of the weapon, makes it FEEL different every patch. I'll admit the weapon seems a bit left in the cold this patch.

Pretty much, while it can be "Aimed" you rarely have time to eye it in, you evemtually get a natural instinct on where the round will go. There are too many factors to manually account for.

I have been having alot of fun in a Methana. If your vehicle skills are up you can get 173 reps pre second. I got a 20gj rail on it. I've smoked about 5tanks and a few DS. If I get a competent gunner infantry doesn't stand a chance. Those rails two shot most suits.

With 26 mil SP I can really do anything I want.
I have access to all weaponry to at least ADV level, I have access to most suits to at least advanced level, have a proto heavy, proto assault, proto logistics, working on proto scout.
My core skills are close to be maxed out, I just need to get some more biotics/precision enhancement/range enhancment skills.
Also have proto hives and injectors.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

You are like a little me. I have slightly more respect for you. Stop crying so much and we can be friends. I am still on a cat hunt,because I have yet to kill you. I think its skirm. I rarely play it its mostly a waste of time and money for me.

Yep, not really all the way into any one thing on main infantry char. I have a separate armor and shield tanker. Then I have a proto assault on an alt in case I need one for PC.

I couldn't bear having a speed hacker (flank) when all I could do was wait for a point to be cleared before I could rush in. So I got myself a Sentinel and tanked it up to the eyeballs so I could stroll in & mess some sh*t up. Hopefully by the time I lost 1800hp, the enemy would be minced enough for a Minja to mop things up.
Then there's my Laser buddy. And if it's not too conceited, I'd say it's one of the few left willing to give a RR scrub a reason to change their underwear.
I like spank. Its an Ion cannon with trip enhanced reppers and an enhanced nitro. Punishing mlt spammers 80k at a time.
