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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

Agreed, TTK for all suits is crazy ATM. With the racial bonuses it may become necessary for Assaults to use varied damage types to get around this, so SCR+SCP will make for a bad combo (I know it does already but you get the point). To a Prior poster who said 2 Core Locus nades.... Against locus nades an Amarr heavy will have 1500 EHP = (660 EHP S, 540 EHP Armour) * 1.25 . Requiring 3 Core Locus nades. Thats just the base of the suit, weather it's standard or proto and includes no mods. If it's a tanked out Proto (Damage mods on the highs) he has 2000 EHP, after 3 Core Locus nades to the face he'll be standing with ~200 Armour. I forget what the timer is on a nade but if his logi can avoid getting killed it wouldn't surprise me if his armour reps faster than you can throw them. Ultimately countering a Heavy/Logi combo come's down to, "Always Kill the Logi First." Sorry to any of my logibros/sis but if I'm switching from HMG to Shotgun Scout.... You're target #1.

So basically scissors break no matter what. Oh, sht! I just learned you can make a signature! Thanks, CCP! Forums are getting better!
Patrick57 Fatal Absolution 4803	Posted - 2014.02.08 05:13:00 - [50] - Quote D legendary hero wrote: 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. First of all, comparing heavies and tanks is apples and oranges. Tanks are huge, can't hack objectives, can't do a lot of stuff that dropsuits can. They also have a huge DPS compared to handheld weapons. Second, you cannot calculate how long it will take to take down a heavy using just the base DPS. You're forgetting reload, how many bullets in the clip/magazine, and whether the shots hit or not. > GÇ£I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.GÇ¥ -Oscar Wilde

Thurak1 Psygod9 D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 510	Posted - 2014.02.08 05:19:00 - [51] - Quote heavies were always supposed to be the infantry jugernaut on the battlefield. Heavies trade off movement for armor and hitpoints. I would say for DPS but i no longer feel the HMG or forge guns do significantly more DPS. Forge guns have a really high alpha but i bet a duvol probably has more damage over time than a forge especially with the new increased charge up time.

My advantage running 2 basic kins and shotty and REs and LITERALLY running/circle strafing around him gave me the advantage. I swear, heavies are SOOO intimidating up close. You just gotta stay away from the business end of that rifle/shotty/hmg/forge/RR/SCR/everything, and if they see you kill em quickly, and then even quicker then that. MY GOD HEAVIES ARE SCARY UP CLOSE! Psycho boink That was my baseball bouncing off walls with extreme trig to hit you in the face Sandman

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.

To much. shakes his head I was ok with the heavy changes when I thought that they were going to be buffing the AR and niche weapons to match the TTK of the new assault type weapon, but apparently that is not going to happen. facepalm they're taking it to far again. {:)}{3GÇó>

Also heavies have a very limited range. Isn't that enough disadvantage. Also forgot NO equipment slot. So please stop crying! All I read on this forums is people complaining...... nerf this, buff that....and of course all the respect threads....
