I've been saying for a while we need an AV class. Medium Frame or Light Frame because the light AV need some buffers when being used by their specialists. Tanks would have a reason to cower when they see AV running to them. Proto Swarm Launchers actually being a major threat against Proto Armor Tanks. Plasma Cannon that melt a Proto Tank's shields.
Seriously. Lower the cost of light AV and then give us a more expensive AV specialist class. The cost should be akin to the other specialist class, the Commando. An all around buff like a % increase in ammo, and then give each racial variant their buffs according to their racial AV gear and mantra.

av is not a role. its a piece of equipment or a weapon just like hives or scanners. yet when you fit a piece of av you are automatically branded an av player and expected to die fast and do little damage.
its a situational piece of equipment. its not treated as such and thats a problem in itself
._.
How the Hell do you consider the rest of those as roles but leave out the Commando and AV? And for that matter, I don't see the sniper role up there either.
Commandos are the strictly offensive role. Despite being stuck with only offensive viability, it can be used for a many things. Once 1.8 comes out and we get the update, they'll be used more often for situations like:
Spearheading an attack,
Mobile Suppression,
Alpha Strikes,
Clearing house/elimination,
Breakthroughs,
Etc
AV's role is what it is. Anti-Vehicle. It isn't to be used all the time but that's also what makes it a specialist role, along with the Commando, Sniper/Marksman, and whatever else. The fact that you stated that it isn't, is silly. You have to organize your whole suit around the AV gear(the actual AV weapon, whether to use Flux or AV grenades, which sidearm, whether or not to use REs or Prox-Explosives, etc).
