We're defending it and you don't even know bro.

If I spec'ed into another suit, it'd be a heavy - I imagine vastly different things will be learnt playin each that would improve your game with both.

It is difficult to imagine what is going through a heavies mind when I face them - its not like facing assaults though, a greater proportion of heavies seem to acknowledge their weaknesses, than med frames.

Med frames are reliably overconfident.

It's why I respect fatties as much as fellow scouts.

I have similar thoughts about Heavies.
I enjoy coming up against them when I am taking a remote point, some very cool battles evolve from these encounters Cool

It's also fun defending a point as a scout with a Heavy as Backup/Bait, the dynamic that can happen in defence can become virtually unstoppable Pirate

Just try flanking that Fat kid, when a scout has his chubby back Pirate

But, I can see the reason why Heavies are so integral to holding a point. It's kinda heady knowing you've got a logi suit behind you with a rep tool while you unload the bullet hose on the guys pushing in to take your point. However, I dislike not being able to jump over a piece of paper. :( Unfortunately, my love affair with the Nova knives and SMG does not lead me towards running heavy suits often enough to be super effective. Oh well :) I know. This has nothing useful in it, but it's just my thoughts.

Scout is for uplinks and rage kills, while the heavy suit is for point defense and 1 on 1 combat in close quarters. Solo Player Squad status: Locked
SoldOut TryAgain Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 33	Posted - 2014.02.13 04:13:00 - [3] - Quote Going from Heavy to Scout is such a smooth change, on the other hand. How the hell can you guys not just kill everything with that speed?! I flanked everyone and gunned em down, heavies and PRO gear a like. SMG + Scout suit = scary. Especially if they have a ScR and use it to one shot your shields then switch to SMG. o.0
Kiriasis Draca Ultramarine Corp 113	Posted - 2014.02.13 04:13:00 - [4] - Quote Fair enough. I adjusted from sniper to assault, then to logi, then to assault scout. It's fun. I'm sure that eventually the heavy fit will work out for me effectively :)

Of course, I made the switch before armor was buffed, before Heavy suits got the HP buff, and before the HMG was fixed. It was nice to get into a suit/role that wasn't awful.

As a heavy I am full of moments like: "wtf! should not have I seen you behind that corner on my passive?! Where did that guy come from? and that one? and that one? WTF!!" PLC, NK, Scout - before 1.8. That's right, I stack that OP Sh!t.
calvin b Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 1458	Posted - 2014.02.13 07:19:00 - [14] - Quote Yes the jumping part does suck. Here is how to make the heavy fun. One get an LAV and have a really good driver 2. Grab three heavy friends with HMG's and tank the S* out of the suits. 3. Drive around until you find a group of reds clustered up. Now reds see LAV they think they know what is about to unfold, but do they really. Drive the LAV as fast as you can right at them, at the count of three all heavies leave the vehicle and begin to spray anyone in sight. Most do not expect three heavies to jump out with HMG's spraying bullets, it so F*** hilarious watching them scatter and looking like sheep. It never fails, there is always those reds that have the look of deer in headlights. Shocked and amazed as three fat guys jump out of a clown car. For even more insanity, strap RE's on the front and drive it straight at them. Bail and watch the dumb ass's shoot the car, easy +50's all around. A heavy before 1.8

My Heavy game is in bursts, but I have learned a few interesting tricks that have transferred to my scout game. Over all, it's been a fantastic learning experience.

I ran reps on you on a match last night, you were holding a supply depot. Not enough heavies on the map to jump in a lav that time.

I try to keep an eye on my heavies backs and they attempt to not shoot me in FW when I dart around in front of them to throw grenades. The downside is the insta-blend that can happen by running in front of a friendly hmg without noticing. But knock on wood I've only had one HMG death via friendly since they started friendly fire in FW.
