Incase you guys are wondering why the Saga II is op - The build in harden gives 60% resistance to all damage for shields. Throw on one complex shield extender, you've got yourself a new Logi-LAV.
I hadn't planned on sharing this - but I wouldn't mind seeing more LAV's out there letting tanks know they're about as scary to us as Minmatar Heavy.
For those who spec further into it - maybe you can actually use the low slot - I can't, but don't need it.
The Saga II isn't OP the Methana can be just as hardy I run a scanner and a heavy armor rep with a proto blaster its nearly impossible to blow my lav up. I wish people would stop crying op every time something doesn't go their way. |

And that's when I started looking for a solution. And one night, I decided to get the Saga II thinking built in means I'd still have 2 high slots - I was wrong. I raged. Called the SAGA II dirt, and never used it for 2 weeks.
Then, I did.
That's when the hate mail started ROLLING in. I beat my old record of 4 hate mails couple weeks ago, 5 in one game, all call me a cheating hacker, that no LAV could POSSIBLE survive all that.
But it does, and it's amazing, and you're telling me it should be even STRONGER because of broken mechanics??
Looks like LAV murder Taxi's are here to stay
The methana is working pretty nicely i get hit with railguns i escape i get hit with forge guns i just stand there and kill the forger unless i get ran over by a tank or shot off the turret thats the only way I die. running scans lets me see proxy mines so that's not even an issue. I have maxed rotation so poor scouts trying to ambush me with shotguns go down before they can get in range.
Why do scouts cloak when they are spotted and bunny hop as if they can't be seen. |

I wish people would stop crying op every time something doesn't go their way. You can be one shotted no matter how you set it up, sadly. At least at the same SP cost the Saga II costs, it requires much more SP to get Methana where the Saga II is almost naturally. Just need proto shield extender.
I guess if I decided i was just gonna stand still and get shot but 9 times out of 10 it doesn't happen. If i see a rail tank i just drive around it in circles then escape :-). |

I love it when people circle around my LAV trying to use it as cover too, all you do is jump and and drive backwards, jump out, finish the job. My last match last night I popped my harder and moved down 3 guys while a rail tank over-heated trying to kill my LAV that was standing still as I slaughter berries. Are, people trying to say Methana is comparable to such a beast vehicle????
I'd say so I have both I use both and the scanner on my methana gives me my invincibility and the hardner on my saga increases my survival with its stealth hardener. I wouldn't even bother with a shield extender I'll add a damage mod 1 shot infantry and blow up tanks with it. Yes I said blow up tanks with it. Oh and also dropships. |

I'll give you fair warning if the server is laggy your gonna have a bad time because the shots wont register. You also need your rotation speed leveled up and reload skills. If you are really a dare devil put two damage mods on a saga with a rail. You need a crazy driver though. |
