When using a rep tool,you are 100% vulnerable to anything that shoots at you. The lock on is clunky,and it takes 1 second for it to stop firing and withdraw just to be switchable another second later. That's right...it takes 2 whole seconds to deactivate and allow you to pull out your weapon to defend yourself.
You can easily die in those 2 seconds from any enemy fire,not to mention if they ignore the person you're repping to get rid of you first. And let's not forget being slowed to walking speed and being OHKd by shotguns and sniper rifles. When i first read about this suggestion i thought it would be horribly OP,with the release of 1.8 i'm doing a 180 because the logistics role is going extinct.
My request: -Heal the user of the rep tool by 50% of its repping potential while it's repairing an ally(ies) -or- -Allow rep tools on logistics suits to self heal the suit -or- -Allow rep tools that have more than 1 beam to target the user
CCP,it is my personal belief that if i willingly give up offense i should get a fair amount of defense in exchange. I'm trying to be as nice as i can about this because it's very frustrating to have to skill into everything it takes to be a logi,and having all of it taken from you with a single bullet,or a single grenade often of the MLT variety.

I like the idea of the 50% heal on urself while healing someone else but find it hard to be popular to other roles, the 2 target system being able to target yourself wouldnt really work, unless the core focus has 2 targets which wont happen. Maybe even a boost in armor resistances to urself or this may be pushing it lmao but why not self cloak when u rep someone (only while repping) .
Was repping someone yesterday only to be slaughtered by people cloaked with no chance of being able to fight back or being able to ask for help. I can't say i have 0 weapon skills but i use my rep tool about 98% more often.
These bonuses would be logi exclusive,seeing as logis are supposed to be masters of support. How can a logi support anyone when they're DOA every time they show up to give said support.
The two target system wouldn't just magically create an invisible repairing bonus for the user,because it would be applying standard rep mechanics,just on the person using it.
But i've suggested things that all rep tools would benefit from not just double beam ones.
I would personally prefer the 50% bonus myself.
Yeah...dem OP cloaks...that is partially why this wouldn't be OP for rep tools.
