I know for a fact gallente assaults are just big scouts. Once you veiw them that way its a whole new ball game.

Armor tanking a gal assault is inefficient. Thats what logis are for.

On my proto I can run 6.93 speed, have 650 ehp with a proto weapon/1x dmg mod and be almost unscannable with a quantum scanner.


This game has a strange design curve that leans towards stealth later on that you never see coming that is insanely interesting.

It is so good to be gallente right now........unless you like assault rifles. The you are fkd because only the duvolle is competitive right now.

Right but they get bonuses that specifically help them deal damage, usually in the optimal range department. In 1.8, the Assaults Suit will not have such a bonus that makes it good at "assaulting."

Going off of the information released so far, it seems all of the Suits are kind of being pushed into a "this is what you are supposed to do."

Sentinel: Defense, lots of EHP.
Logistics: Support, specific bonus to racial equipment.
Scout: Sneaky, meant to be hard to find or find people.
Commando: Damage, bonus to light weapon damage while having high HP.
Assault: I am really not sure; they just seem to be getting a bonus to fitting weapons and be better with a particular weapon.

They don't do more damage than the Commando and don't have more HP so I am trying to see where their niche is. Even ignoring the fact that Logistics get more slots and therefore more HP than Assaults, what are Assaults supposed to do as a role in 1.8 compared to the other suits?

Be well.

You flip objectives, not assaults..you could flip an objective with any suit but that's the difference between you and other PC players..

Baby Commandos.

With the upcoming 1.8, Assaults will have a sidearm as well as roughly equal EHP (as logi's will then finally have to fit a self repper), being faster then logi's and heavies, and with a smaller htibox as opposed to Commandos or Heavies.


I think 1.8 will neatly entail the roles that each class should be doing, and then subdividing the smaller bits within the races (logi's for example, every racial logi will specialize in a specific Equipment, or heavies look like they specialize in different tanking/combat styles, minnies being Hit and run, Gallente for Logiless Assault, Caldari for Shield Combat overal, and Amarr for Logi Supported Defense). One thing that has me thinking however,is that the subsects that the other classes divided themselves among seem to be missing in the Assaults. They all seem to be about straight up fighting, with no real difference among the races. The only thing that differs among the races is the Tanking style, nothing else about the assaults are diversified.

Which can be seen as a blessing, and as a curse. Its so simple so that if you accidently skill into a race you don't really like, the differences are marginal between the races of the assaults that it won't really affect you, but also it leaves the class devoid of items that perform better in said role the another race.

You going to suck him off too?

Your last paragraph is completely wrong.

This time i am going for the suit with the most slots, as sadly thats the best suit to use or adapt to various playstyles, i am done with having only 6 slots while other suits got 7-9 to play with.

Every fit i could do on my Amarr suit was 1.5 times better on the 9 slot suit, though i only had it at level 3 to just test out the suit and not run it 24/7 as i figured, hey CCP will fix those FOTM suits anyyy second now ...(fast forward 8 months ...annyyy second...oh ....they didnt ....

The stuff assaults are getting as part of the rebalance really has to be in the slot layouts, otherwise i dont get it, is there even any info about their slot layouts floating on the forum that ive missed? Because the new bonusses are just the old bonusses from a couple of patches ago.

ps: i am gonna be very afraid from a Heavy suit with a light weapon in 1.8, yer just not gonna be dropping one before you run out of EHP, especially using the Scrambler Rifle and the nerf to the damage components and resists on the heavy suits, while the Assault will still be quite the same.

(Light)Assault jetpacks please.

No, I've never liked jetpacks in games

Go play ps2 and say that again, well maybe its a bit too slow but whatevs

Lol, still have mine next to my PS3.... so yea....

Assault = pu$$y commando








Jk


Seriosuly though, they are commandos with better mobility

assaults are the numbers, they are the bulk of an army, they do the dying

and HP regen. I don't want a logi stuffed up my @ss all match.

Which is just kind of silly.
