Did you want that compared to other suits? Is this an everybody will run Scout thread?

It doesn't die when someone looks at it funny, unlike scouts. Have you seen the fits that people are wanting to run? They basically have medium Frame Hp values. Also, I'm temporarily switching over from Gallente Assault to Gallente Commando for obvious reasons. Also, I can have 19.25 hp/s with no sacrifice to armor. I can finally rep tank! Like Gallente Are supposed to!
you can't fit scouts with the same weapons as the same tier assaults AND get a better tank than assaults. You live with their main bonuses; speed, hitbox, profile, endurance, and shield regen. They cannot do the same DPS as assaults with a better tank. |

Did you want that compared to other suits? Is this an everybody will run Scout thread? The weapon fitting is inconsequential as the logi has higher base CPU/PG (possible nerf later, but could just use FW specialist weapons to close the gap). Also, the slot configuration coupled with the higher CPU/PG allows the logi to recoup the deficit in armor and/or shields fairly easily. All this while having the added utility of additional equipment slots. Currently, the assault is not the best suit at anything nor does it have greater versatility than the frames that could be considered "adjacent" to it (Scout, Logi, Commando). So if the assault frame is not best in class at anything nor the most flexible, what exactly is it for? If I want more staying power and damage, I'll go commando. If I want lower signature and greater speed I'll go scout. If I want equal or better tank with more equipment, I'll go logi. Mediocre at several things isn't a class defining characteristic (or at least shouldn't be), but that seems to be where the assault frame is at currently. -Aramis
The assault suit is currently the best at not having to spend a lot of SP to fully utilize the suit (mainly because it doesn't have any real specializations) but still, its strengths don't rely on you needing a ton of SP in equipment, electronics, biotics, or heavy weapons to make useful. In a way, it fits the role of a base tier slayer that you can progress through. |
