Cat Merc wrote:So, I took three of the four heavies (have yet to try the Amarr heavy) to the field. I was using the Minmatar with a complex kin cat on. I sprinted my way to the objective since a minnie heavy with a complex kin cat on is faster than my assault, so no need for my LAV (COUGH COUGH CCP), and I ran out of stamina. Knowing how it was like pre 1.7, I expected for a pretty long downtime before I can sprint again. Suddenly it's already back up. Dat stamina regen is awesome  I can practically sprint all day with that thing. A heavy. Sprinting all day. Without a single cardiac reg.
That's nice and all but you have resists towards the least used weapon types and this sentinel is easy to kill with that low HP. 
My Amarr heavy is good vs shotguns and my Caldari heavy is great vs other heavys and FoTM weapons (combat rifle/rail rifle).

As fast as my assault. Regenerates stamina twice as fast. 200 HP more 900 DPS doom machine And all of that on a militia suit, comparing to a proto assault. I'm sorry, but if anyone says this suit sucks he needs to take his head out of his arse. I also bring a Caldari scout with me, that has nanohives and passive scanning that can beat practically anything. You will not get close to me, and I have all the ammo in the world.

I think when it comes down to it, Amarr Sentinel is still the very best at what Heavy has been all about up until 1.8:
Being a big ass lethal road block that mercilessly strangles choke points to death.
Gallente is arguably a very effective big ass lethal road block too, but its great bonuses and tons of low slots means you can fit it as an uber-repping medium suit killer, or a bizarre speed fit.
Caldari and Minmatar Sentinels are their own animals though, and lend themselves to different playstyles than what all us dedicated fatties have been used to. It's going to be interesting figuring it all out.
ED: I will add, Minmatar is my new favorite Forge Gunning frame. Tanks are squirrelly after the first shot, and the speed helps in hunting them down. I also found a way to fit 2x Complex Damage Mods and an AFG on the standard Sentinel M-1, so it's a relatively cheap AV killer. (56k) 
Now if only Forge Guns worked properly...

A: HMG does not have 900dps, a Boundless is 792, MH-82 is 756, basic HMG is 720. None of these translate to 900 in any system of math.
2: HMG paper DPS is in no way, shape, or form applicable in the real world unless your target is another heavy politely standing still 4m in front of you. Two words: Dispersion and overheat. Cut the DPS by 1/3 to 3/4 depending on range at any range above 10m and you've got a truer idea of HMG DPS output.
Other than that, carry on.
A: Bring prof in, and that's 900 DPS right there.
HMG has the highest base DPS, hence damage modification improves it the most. (%)
2: HMG paper DPS is very close to the real world, considering how fast I shred things.
I easily apply 550-600 DPS out at 10-15 meters, and all of that in a large cone of fire, which means less skill to apply around 1.75x the DPS of rifles.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.
