Hi All,
I'm a blueberry, I have been improving but still have a long way to go.
I have been playing as a Caldari Assault but now I hate the new bonus they will have and also not so happy with shield tanking.....
Since we have a dropsuit respec and also the 2mill SP for the event I think I will go for Armor tanking but I don't know what to choose....
I use mainly the RR and sometimes the AR. I checked the stats and I think most of the assault suits are not good for their purpose so I was thinking going Gallente Assault or even Amarr logi and use it as an assault type soldier...
What do you think? Can you give me some advice?
Thanks,
Les. |

I like shields. So what I say is most probably wrong and you shouldnt listen to the advice below. Also, you should have some SP from the event so stick into the suit of choice as you will get it back in a week - and play around with fittings.
if you want to armour tank then sure think about gallente.
Gallente will help you with your assault rifle dispersion - unlike amarr. The logi suit will be best run as a logi suit. Particularly as CCP have said they are going to rework the slots for medium suits. So beware what you spec in to. The current slots may well change and there wont be a respec.
The best thing to do is to pick a suit that will help you play the way that allows you to have fun.

If armour tanking is what you want then you got a few options in 1.8. Gal logi, gal assault, gal scout (900 HP), and the gal heavies.
All of them seem to be decent and can be used. Not sure how well amarr logi will do come 1.8 so I couldn't comment. The amarr assault is only worth it for the laser bonus but that will be fun as anything.
Whatever you choose remember that CCP have stated that they will look at the medium suits in the near future. Hopefully sorting out the assaults to make them a little better.

I'd consider not doing anything rash for a few weeks until we see how 1.8 plays out. That said:
1) Only use the Amarr assault if you plan to use either the laz0r rifle or the scrambler rifle. Otherwise there's really no point.
2) Don't skill into a logistics suit unless you want to play logistics.
3) If you want firepower as the main attribute, consider a commando. That appears to be their new niche.

Thanks all for the feedback.
I didn't know about the future changes in the mediums...hopefully they will give more slot to the assault instead of the logi.
With that said I think I will go for lvl 3 in the Gallente Mediums and wait to see how soon and what info is released regarding the medium spec changes and then specialize.
Regarding the commandos... I like their dmg bonus but being new and still working in the hand/eye coordination I don't think I will do well with a heavy suit. I used the militia heavies but only with militia forgegun and just a few times, only when there are a lot of tanks in the field.
Thanks,
Les.

When you say you want to run logistics instead of assault take a very close look at the stats:

There are very few ways that a logi suit is stronger. People are focusing on the suit bonus and forgetting there are a dozen other attributes that define the suit's capabilities.
