Title says it all. I haven't gotten much time to play since the update, so I'm wanting advice for what to spec into. I used to LOVE my HMG (or screaming cannon O' death, as I used to think of it) back in Chromosome, and I'm wondering how it's fairing. Have any of the new heavy suits made it easier to use well, such as the new, faster heavy suit that could help it get into range faster?
Let me know, I'm looking forward to your replies ;) |

After the fix to make the bullets spread instead of narrow and the overall TTK increase that didnt do anything to HMGs (for the time being) id say that youll like them a lot. :) |

I rock the minmatar basic heavy with assault hmg and kinkats, I wreck squads fairly easily jumping in and out of cover and easily sprinting between objectives. The min heavys stamana recharge is unbaliveable
These forums must be located in the Californin country side, there is whine as far as the eye can see.

HMG has been great for months now. You've missed out on quite a bit of fun, good sir. 
Now you can pick your flavor of Sentinel though. We were all stuck with Amarr in 1.7.
(By the way: be sure to thank xxGhazbaranxx for your working weapon. He made the video that finally convinced CCP to look into fixing it.)

Unfortunately for the rest of us yes they melt us like ants under a magnifying glass now. I have to be a lot more careful when trying to get the drop on you guys now. That means I need to use a high alpha weapons like Shotguns or Nova Knives. Otherwise I just die after you casually turn around and blow me away. |

Want to be the door kicker with a logi on your back: Gallante
Want to flank people and shoot em in the back: Minmatar
Want to be a badass holding points by yourself: Caldari
Want to be an immovable suppresion master: Amarr
Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.

Currently. TTK of a Heavy can be pretty short still. Not all weapons got the Nerf.
I am waiting until they decide how much they are going to Nerf the armor of all the Heavies before recommitting to them. That limits my HMG use to LP or militia suits. So my Time To Death is shorter than a proper suit. 
And so it goes.

The HMG is where it should be and the Armarr of all races is the best to use the HMG with at the current moment. The suit bonus is why it is best with an HMG vs. another heavy. |

Rock = Heavy
Scissors = Medium Frame
Paper = Scout
The system seems to be working now.
The upcoming nerf to Heavy Health is likely to remove the Buff to Heavy Health we got when the HMG was broken, Hit Detection was fixed, and heavies seemed paper thin.
Now Automatic weapons (with the exception of the HMG) have reduced damage, Sentinels have resists (effective health), and the HMG is working as intended. We donGÇÖt really need that stop-gap health boost anymore, and it is making Heavies Over Powered. (Not that I am complaining, I am quite enjoying it, but the situation seems clear.)
So I support the 20% nerf to Sentinel health that CCP proposed.
By the way, while my Heavy Alt continues to run Amarr Sentinel, I actually skilled Fox into Proto Minmatar Sentinel and am actually playing him again. I guess I am hooked on heavy. I hope to try the Caldari Sentinel at some point.
