What did you do?

I had a gallente suit and pro gear. With the rep tool at 5, nano at 5, and scanner only to 3. The ISK I have tied up into my current fittings if I chose to go Minmatar for the Rep bonus I no longer can use those suits. The entirety of my playstyle is now gone. So I ask again what did each of you do?

you will need more than one LOGI suit to be effective and Gallente doesn't seem to be one of them.
To be honest it's the worst of he group. CCP nerfed the scanners for you but not the vehicles so there is really no point skilling into Gallente.

Minmatar is perfect for WP's but running with a squad you might consider Amarr
If you want to go AV or support an AV Squad then the Caldari would be my choice
Never the less save your SP for More suits.
As if the logi role wasn't expensive enough now it's a SP drain also

Virtual Riot - 100 meters is not an effective logi for support. Who is repping? Reviving? There is more to being a logi than just slaying others. We are a support role. Now to be an effective support role requires at least 4 different fittings for the suits.

I already put them in Gallente (got it back to 5) I have so much ISK tied up in fittings it just seemed like a waste. And I got Minmatar Logi to 4. Yeah you need 4 suits to do the job 1 use to. It's frustrating that an entire playstyle has been eliminated from the game.

OR You have 15 other teammates to those other jobs GREAT. Not sure what there is to complain about, Scouts have 2 equip slots, assault/commando has one........HOW MUCH EQUIP DO YOU NEED ON THE FIELD BRO! Not seeing how an entire play style has been eliminated......oh Ic bc you can't LOGI BOMB the BEST EQUIPMENT without speccing into a another races suit. Called variety, might as well start QQ about the heavy/commando bonuses being different.

P.S. Quit acting like Proto equip is utter garbage, you sound like a spoiled brat.

I have a similar fitting but at 250k ISK it's not worth using in terms of the best of the Gallente fitting. I have an adv fitting for the Minmatar that I am using now as well. I was never much for uplinks (don't think I even have the skill trained) so probably won't do Amarr. May go into Caldari because I did use Hives as needed.

But that's my point. The playstyle I once had is now gone. I need 4 suits to do what I use to do. I was tempted to quit and walk away from Dust with what they did to the role.

If anything it adds real variety to the game

whats the point of skilling into something when everyone can do anything (1.7)

Now when a logi joins the squad its "oh you're an Amarr logi? Cool I wonder how faster uplinks will work out". Not "eh thats cool, I can do what you do on my logi suit too".

You know what GOOD RIDDENS gtfuh already! No suit should be the best at everything assclown. The change to the logi is for the best. You have proved in this thread you are nothing more than a spoiled kid. Acting like they took away all your equipment slots but 1! There is this idea about dust that it is about "TEAMWORK" believe it or not.

We were required to heal, resupply and provide links in some fashion. That was our role on the field.

Do you even read what I type?

It is about the efficiency in which I support my team. My ability to keep them all alive and armed. The hives, the repper and the other tools now require 4 suits and (4x as much SP) as the other roles. Sure a combat role could skill into other suits but for what reason if they like the weapon it is with? You could use a cloak on other suits beyond scout if you want. But the logistics role requires skill as to what to use and when to use it. 4 suits now to fulfill our original role to get the most out of the equipment we skilled into.

Everything we do is now reduced unless we are using pro gear to make up for the difference in efficiency which makes running a true logistics suit all the more risky as we are targeted first. Black and yellow is like the red/white of the medical corps. Generally shot first.

@General - Proto gear to replace the efficiency we lost. And those equipment pieces are not cheap in ISK. Black and Yellow is shot first. So we need to run with our best even in public matches to replace what was lost.

Sadly yes I read what you write. Wishing I would just skip past it though bc you are not understanding.

1. You are not the only logi on the damn map.
2. Other suits Assualt/Scout/Commando can help with equip drops if really need be
3. Since when has having the best equipment to spam ever been a "True Logi"
4. B4 the change 1 Logi Suit dropping the BEST equipment was OP period.

Please explain to me how there was really any difference between the logis pre 1.8. Get off your throne KING LOGI. We never should have been able to use another races tech better than said race. AGAIN just to get this point across we logis should have never been able to run the battle like we did! Equipment still needs a limit per clone so you can't grab a suit loaded with hives and drop them in one spot.
