I'm guessing you meant on a heavy, seeing as everyone else seems to have gone that route. It really isn't that bad of an idea for them, means less time ducking behind cover and more time shooting people, but it's more of a 1v1 thing because you're not likely to have the HP to take on two guys. Maybe once the Gallente heavy comes out...
This can work on an amarr logi too, but the low base HP doesn't make it every effective. 35 reps a second almost puts you up there with a scout's shield recharge rate though, but with all the rail rifles and combat rifles running around right now, it doesn't really work. Once the TTK gets changed though, this might be a valid strategy.
Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.

What they're not supposed to be is irrelevant. What they ARE is all that matters, and right now, the Gallentes ARE better armor tankers than Amarr, who are simply the balanced shield/armor tankers. But eh, the suits haven't dropped yet, so we can only wait and see what the stats will be.
