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.

Well, I don't think it sucks, but I don't prefer the Minmatar heavies over the others. Its hitbox is bigger than a typical assault suit, and it doesn't get the weapon bonuses that the Assault suit would. What you should really do is run that militia heavy suit back-to-back with a true Minmatar assault suit. You'll get a hacking bonus and better "life" out of your weapons. The speed, though, is addictive. But then again, Amarr have high base stamina and regen; it's one of the racial attributes. Minmatar run faster, Amarr run longer.

Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. DUST514514

Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries Dirt Nap Squad. 7788	Posted - 2014.03.27 19:07:00 - [1] - Quote 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 backup. Dat stamina regen is awesome I can practically sprint all day with that thing. A heavy. Sprinting all day. Without a single cardiac reg.

Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 3381	Posted - 2014.03.27 19:36:00 - [9] - Quote Dancing Heavies are a wonderful thing. When you sprint in under somebody's grenade and go sideways to light up the side of their dome piece, it's just beautiful. A lot of people think Heavies just have to stand still and mow. But everybody else being bricked now makes it easy to close distance and put that HMG right up their ass, where it's at its optimal. I GÖú Kittens.

I love my Armarr heavy and after 1.8 IMO is the best heavy or it is ties with Gal Heavy which I will have proto by next week.

Could easily substitute the Boundless for a basic as the damage difference isn't that large, just using the 'Steelmine' to get them used up and out of my inventory, I hate having spare AUR items laying around in there taking up space.

Or camping a hack-point. Or you're using a vehicle. Or guarding a choke point. 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...
