I have 3 of the proto logi bonuses, Am/Cal/Min and yes I was one suckered in by CCP's vague descriptions, so I am actually speaking from experience. Yes I will use each, but only depending on the people I'm playing with.
What I think was already mentioned, but glossed over by many, was that the fitting bonus is actually backwards from where OP is thinking. You gotta think about this from the other suit perspective and how much they can help their team. I see almost no change in overall WP, it's just how I get it. Realize that unless you are in the correct racial variant you may as well be a Commando dropping a hive, so the suit actually matters. Also, I start Proto to get as much of my top gear on the field then drop to adv to maintain that equip as needed and add a rep tool to the suit.
Am/Cal are perfect for drop/forget WP gains. I carry a better weapon and actually add a dmg mod because I want these suits to last as long as possible since their benefit is best over time. Those uplink/hives are earning quite well without having to do much other than find a good place, so my entire focus can be elsewhere, such as repping or finding other teammates to help. My Min suit, on the other hand has more slots, but the only thing useful is a rep tool (something not necessary for a Cal) so I am forced in it to "waste" slots on inefficient equipment that EVERYONE NEEDS but I must do at a lessened state. A Cal with a Wyrkomi and a Rep tool can produce as much (if not more) rep than a Min with the same equipment, and rep is what a MinLogi is for.
So please remember, it isn't how "much" you can fit on, it's how "effective" what you put on is. I feel sad for GalLogi as they got it worst (used to be one till it was useless for anything but slaying in 1.8). Each now has a niche, a fact I hate with the fury of a thousand white-hot suns, but just realize you will either rep like a god (to 1 person within 11m), get everybody in here, keep the pewpewpew going + rep, or show where the enemy is........and not much else very well. That equipment you put out with Am/Cal is using that bonus (both suit and race) at ALL times, while Gal/Min are only getting benefit while they are actively using their racial equipment.
To me, I think Am/Cal made out like bandits in the logi department.
TL;DR Actually Am/CalLogi are actually pretty sweet because their equip are "always on". GalLogi sux. and Min most useful standing behind a heavy. Quality not Quantity. |
