As Cat said, the Gallente Assault in PC really doesn't hold up due to a variety of reasons:

a) To get any kind of decent HP you're going to be moving as slow as a heavy. If you want to run heavy, run heavy, don't run Gallente Assault.

b) Unless you're running armor repairers (in which you will die near instantly) you're going to be forced to have some sort of logistical support like rep hives and repair tools. Pro-tip, repair tools are uncommon in PC because it takes the gun out of the player's hand. It's better to just die and respawn with full HP than put two players out of commission until you're healed up.

c) The reduction to PG/CPU on hybrid weapons is nice but your options are very limited. Assault Rifles or Rail Rifles being the only weapons of value as you're too slow/profile too high to use a shotgun and all the other hybrid weaponry just aren't up to par (PLC for instance). There are also no hybrid sidearms with which to make use of this bonus.

d) In the event the situation changes and you are being murdered by combat/rail rifles (the FOTM currently) there is nothing you can do if you don't have another suit to utilize.

e) You're practically forced to use damage mods because shield equipment doesn't sit well with only 150 shield base.

And Ripper, Caldari Logi is still the master race in PC. Brick-tanking it is a hell of a lot easier and you'll wind up with comparable EHP, often times with faster speeds than the Gallente Assault running armor plates. More PG/CPU, more slots to play with, more equipment and a much faster recovery. The only real drawback is no sidearm.

I've been running Proto Gallente Assault since Uprising was released. Trust me, it's not as great as it looks on paper.

Yup, these people have no idea what they're getting into.

Both me and Aeon have used Gallente Assault since day 1, and we know the strenghts and faults of the suit better than most.

You know, a hefty number of people have been running the Gal suits since Uprising. Oh, the good old days, where we were slow as molasses to have any amount of tank, and that CalLogi would walk around the corner and rip you a new one with his Duvolle... I don't miss those days.

On topic, apparently I'm doing it all wrong, I do this Rep Tanking thing with only 467 Armor (Both Advanced and Proto Logis, Assault is slightly less) and survive way more than all these slow as can be 900 armor Gallente suits running around. As other people have stated, if you wanna move as fast as a Heavy, just be a Heavy. Might as well have the shield buffer.

Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Jeezus... I can only imagine what a Proto Galogi or GalAss is capable of. cries in corner because of squishy Minmatar suits Of course Gal-Ass's are op! Our skin tight suits really show of what we got. Specially those Gal women...Mmm There now that I've started with a joke, onto talks of balance. While I feel your pain (Having skilled into the ridiculously squishy Min suits on my 1 mil SP ALT, seriously CCP low SP players have it rough enough. I feel for any poor newbie who skills Min first) I don't think Gal-Assaults are in anyway OP, Gal-Logi however can be another story. I am not just saying this because I myself run a Gal-Assault, I try to be as neutral as possible when it comes to balance but you'll just have to take my word on that so it is up to you. The Gal suits excel at survivability in extended engagements, this is how it is supposed to work as the heaviest armor tanked suits. (Granted lore wise this should be Amarr, we will leave that discussion for another time.) However, they can't survive multiple engagements as easily as the other three suits without support; either from a logi or a rep hive. (Try running it alone without rep hives or switching fits at a supply depo; will give you some perspective.) I have also noticed there is a far smaller leap in power from a STD Gal-Assault to a PRO, my STD suit has 700 EHP while my proto has 800. The only thing my PRO suit has on my other fits is damage capability but I think with how armor was made to work in this game, that is also working as intended. Armor right now in general is in a good place while shields have suffered; the exact opposite from what we used to have in the Cal-logi supremacy days. (Happy John?) When the disparity between STD and ADV shields V.S armor is fixed and balance in general is tweaked you'll probably be less inclined to think Gal-Ass's are op. Also i assume you built this suit on your main with full core armor, CPU, and PG skills; not to mention any other skills that may affect the fitting. It is much harder to build any good MLT suit without core skills, thus core skills being so important to get first. I will say however the two easiest suits too use when low SP is the Cal and Gal suits, as they each give newbies a bit of wiggle room to grow. Seriously my third and final character is 600k SP Cal-Assault and good lord do you start out with a pretty decent and easy to understand suit. I recommend either of them for lower SP players to start with as they will let you get accustomed to the game mechanics. Just an honest opinion from a Vet friend; I'd have spoke on Gal-Logi's more but as I have yet to skill into that I don't think I am qualified. Vae Victis Valor Vet, R.I.P MAG

Maybe I don't know how Medium Frames work but as a Militia, shouldn't you be stuck with like only two low slots and no high slot? I mean if you can do all that, kudos to your ass. That's nifty AF. I'd personally would need an Advanced Gal Assault to reach those levels. Also, for people QQing about Amarr not being the best armor tankers, when 1.8 comes they should be.

Trust me, it's not as great as it looks on paper. Pretty much this. The Gal Assault is excellent in a static engagement where you are fighting from a prepared position. The combo of damage mods and plates supported by a bunch of hives can be pretty formidable. However, a Gal logi does this better than the assault and can reapply hives when they run out/get fluxed. The STD and ADV Gal assault suits are pretty good for pub matches fitted with plates, a repper (for self sufficiency) and damage mods, but are hardly over powered. The proto Gal assault is a solid suit, but there are several others that outshine it in PC.

Both me and Aeon have used Gallente Assault since day 1, and we know the strenghts and faults of the suit better than most. You know, a hefty number of people have been running the Gal suits since Uprising. Oh, the good old days, where we were slow as molasses to have any amount of tank, and that CalLogi would walk around the corner and rip you a new one with his Duvolle... I don't miss those days. On topic, apparently I'm doing it all wrong, I do this Rep Tanking thing with only 467 Armor (Both Advanced and Proto Logis, Assault is slightly less) and survive way more than all these slow as can be 900 armor Gallente suits running around. As other people have stated, if you wanna move as fast as a Heavy, just be a Heavy. Might as well have the shield buffer. I said most, not all Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos
