Give the assault suits a second grenade slot, a CPU/PG bonus to equip a second type of grenade and leave the rest be. You have less slots because you have the sidearm slot , its what makes them versatile, they are also faster than everything but scouts and have better starting EHP than logi.

I do agree that the med suit slot layouts need reworking, but I believe making the H/L even between the assaults and logi is the best for both. On paper it does sound like a good idea to make total slot count the same, but I will go over why this is a bad idea.

The Logi is already slower, has less eHP, and reduced combat efficiency due to lack of a sidearm. With these differences in mind, a slayer logi with the same modules as an assault player would be inferior if both had the same H/L layout.

Now if we take away 1 extra slot from the logi, and it is completely combat ineffective. It would be to slow to run away from a fight, not enough tank to survive the fight, and not enough firepower to win a fight. This would lead the logi to be in worse shape than the pre 1.8 scout ever was.

I think with an even H/L slots count, better base combat stats, as well as a bonus to killing, would define the assault class, as well as make it superior to any slayer logi. This creates balance.

It does to some extent, especially with 1.8 changes. For example, the ability to carry a Mag Sec with a ScR gives the assault more flexibility to deal with both shield and armored tanked opponents. How does 1 extra slot make that big a difference in versatility?

Anyway, if I have this right you want to keep current speed advantage, starting HP advantage, take one slot off of the logi, and give it to the assault and call it balance? LOL sorry, but no.

What I cannot fathom about these forums is, if you think the logi is a more versatile suit, and that's what you want in a suit why not skill into logi suits? No one is stopping you. It wouldn't have anything to do with wanting to make one's particular load out choice OP would it.

Assaults already are as described jack of all trades suits. Medium starting HP, medium speed, medium slot numbers, medium everything. They are the do just about everything adequately role of the battlefield and thus I think working as intended. I think it would be cool if they could carry a 2nd grenade type but otherwise think they are just fine. And BTW I am skilled to level 5 in Minmatar assault, one of the tougher assault suits to play.

Read the first line of my post, as you seemed to not have read it. I point out that med suits slots need to be reworked. I also posted why, and how this would create balance. I am a logi and am saying that us logis should lose slots to equal the assaults. This in it self implies that I see the issue of the imbalance as it currently stands and I have proposed a well thought out solution. Pleases make sure you comprehend someones post before commenting on it.

I can see how my first comment might have misled you. My first post assumes the reader is tracking the OP, and I was talking in response to having one less slot than the assault. I once again want to apologize for not being clear enough.

However, your first comment response to me was on the point about the current build, not taking in to acount I was talking about a fix for post 1.8.

Your second response does nothing but point out I had some bad wording,and over all is nothing more than you being a troll. This is apparent by your lack of contributing to the debate, and lack of forming any rebutal. There for, any further response on your part will be ignored.

It seems that to CCP a side arm is worth at least 2 slots. Compare Amarr logi to all other logi. All the other logos get 2 more slots of some type than Amarr. So in a sense assault suits are getting a bonus slot already
