Bormir1r WarRavens League of Infamy 20	Posted - 2014.02.08 01:38:00 - [1] - Quote Is it even possible by a single player? With close to 2000 HP, it it's almost the equivalent to a quarter of a tank. Are they getting any movement speed nerfs? Because honestly, I don't even know if it's going to be possible to go 1v1 on heavy in 1.8. Even when you consider the bonuses they'll be getting, reductions to weapon damage almost seems to make them invincible.

Vicious Minotaur Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 658	Posted - 2014.02.08 01:43:00 - [5] - Quote To get that much eHP, you must stack complex armor plates, which have a somewhat large movement penalty. Add that on top of their already slow speed, and you have a heavily armored snail. Everybody will be able to run laps around them.
Justin Tymes Dem Durrty Boyz Renegade Alliance 685	Posted - 2014.02.08 01:44:00 - [6] - Quote Niche weapons? Forget it. Heavies are obviously being balanced around current Rifle DPS and Core Grenades, which was a really bad move by CCP. Carry remotes if you don't use Rifles, or be prepared to auto-lose.

Going 1 on 1 vs a good heavy is suicide as it is right now XD So either Sneak attack, or go with a squad. That is after all the prupose of heavies.... AceOfJokers666 [ + ] AimBot / VALOR / MAG

D legendary hero Ultramarine Corp 1507	Posted - 2014.02.08 01:51:00 - [10] - Quote seriously? difference between tank and heavy. Ar damage to tanks reduced by 90%, AR damage to heavies reduced by possibly 10% max. since a militia Ar without damage mods or proficiency does 425 damage per second. 2000 ehp/425 = +/-4 seconds so, If your in your optimal and have a militia AR, with no damage mods or proficiency you can kill the new heavy in 4 seconds. of course, since EVERYONEhas galente AR at proficiency 5 thats 25% extra damage. so your doing at least 550 damage per second, bringing TTK down to +/-3 seconds. so, in conclusion. One militia noob can kill a heavy by themselves. Sou o Defendeiro dos derrubados_Pronto saberá justiça

At good range,a sneak attack or group effort will make short of one of these behemoths. Or you can be lame like me and run a Heavy yourself with a Shotgun XD AceOfJokers666 [ + ] AimBot / VALOR / MAG
Disturbingly Bored The Strontium Asylum 1585	Posted - 2014.02.08 01:54:00 - [12] - Quote Worst-case scenario (you're using, say, a Combat Rifle against a maxxed Amarr fattie), Sentinels can have up to 15% more EHP than they have currently. That's a sizable chunk, but it's not as much as when CCP bumped total Heavy HP up by 20% a patch ago. (Shield and armor went from 400 to 480.) People didn't seem to think that made much of a difference at all, and there was zero QQ on the forums. Could the new Sentinels be FOTM? I dunno. I hope not. I hate seeing impostor fatties in my suits. But I guess we'll see... I used to own the FAT GAT until this --> [ASCII Art removed - *draconian forum overlord* CCP Logibro]

A lone heavy has no way of resupplying himself is slow as molasses in winter and extremely vulnerable in anything but a cityscape(ie hallways). Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3 That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=

I doubt it, im pretty sure 1.8 will bring a lot of diversity to the game: Scouts + cloaks are equally if not MORE tempting thatn Sentinels Commandos are a whole new world of Defensive / offensive combos Assaults will get bonuses that let them abuse certain bonuses + RoF Some logis will be a real force to be reckoned with in 1.8 ,specially the Active Radar gallente Logi and the Zerg swarmer Amarr logi...

Speed differential is easily negated by the sentinel either just defending an area or using a lav. In an actual fight speed may give a little edge, but not enough to compensate how beastly these suits will be since they are essentially getting a boost to tank and weapons are getting nerfs to damage. You will need your own sentinel (or maybe commando) and group fire to deal with heavies come 1.8. Especially if they have one of the what will be few logis left supporting them. Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

One militia noob can kill a heavy by themselves. You're not taking into account the nerfs to rifles in 1.8, making TTK longer to kill a heavy. And I'm pretty sure you're not bringing TTK down 3 seconds, if not at all, you can only be increasing it, since the amount of health is increased. Minja. We run and hide. And then we kill you.

These heavies will try to continue to solo and get mopped while the scouts will quickly equate to DUST in the wind as they assume that invisible=invincible. This is the one time where FOTM users will actually do WORSE and have to resort to using something that fits there play style. Unfortunately for them there play style IS FOTM so they are just gonna suffer Scout Tactician Dance puppets, DANCE!

Here, you have a 750+ EHP Logi with Good enough Damage Output, Ammo for him and his friends, scanning capabilities and every time he respawns he drops 2 Uplinks that provide 2 second respawns for his team. That means, that EACH TIME you kill an enemy, he will be back, In 2 or less seconds...Sounds UP? I dont think so. AceOfJokers666 [ + ] AimBot / VALOR / MAG
