He's been playing GalLogi for a while; says he like staying at range (likes RR).

On the flip side he seems to like NKs.

Heavy's probably out, and logis are not so good for soloing right now (in my experience). I'd have suggested an Assault but they're a bit pointless right now too.

Anyway - slow-moving, long ranged. I'm half-tempted to say 'CalSent+RR', tbh.

Oh - also he's got enough SP to proto it off the bat, so we're looking at max skills so not having a maxed role bonus isn't a worry here (if it ever was).

Well for one if he's got enough sp to proto right of the bat your going to want to put that sp into core skill instead. So you can fit ANY suit well and give it a better tank and scans! No point if wearing expensive suits if you have low survivability.

As far as the suit, a standard calsent seems like a good plan for a hit and run(ish) but for a slow and mean tank your going to wan to go galente.

He plays solo usually, has reasonable cores (not too focused on armour or shields) and has previously played GalLogi (you know, when it was OP ). I don't really want to suggest scouts, because there's a large possibility a nerf is incoming, but logis and assaults aren't so good right now for a solo player. I similarly don't want to suggest heavies, because although I've seen some pretty effective solo heavy builds (Cal foremost among them) they're very limiting and not too versatile.

BL4CKST4R WarRavens Final Resolution. 2601	Posted - 2014.04.29 10:29:00 - [6] - Quote Any Caldari suit for long range engagements and hit and run tactics. Very fast game play A gal scout or heavy - for extreme cqc engagements, very deadly gameplay and damage mitigation is a priority specially for the heavy. A amarr medium or heavy - for very powerful SCR play or a versatile heavy suit. A minmatar medium or heavy - for a fast suit with very adaptable engagements. Weapons: CR -easy mode can kill anything with its messed up damage profile and extreme dps. Might get nerfed in like 6 months. Rail rifle - very powerful at any range, hip fire only in short range and you can dominate with this weapon in any engagement. Might get needed in like 1 year. Scrambler rifle- only use this with amarr medium suits unless heavily specced into. Assault rifle- avoid this weapon. For the Federation!

Yes. I just said 'he's been playing GalLogi'. This is another way of saying 'don't recommend scouts because they're OP because they're not his typical playstyle and they're gonna get nerfed'. Please find a useful way of contributing, kthxbai. For the record, he's looking for a reliable suit. I'm trying to find one that isn't gonna get hit with the hammer, or I'd be saying GalScout right off the bat. ak.0 // 4 LYFE I am the Lorhak // I speak for the trees. Jason Person for CMP!

Cores are pretty solid; 5/5/5, though his armour/shields need some work. We're looking to avoid future proto grind, not start spamming proto right off the bat :) I personally am a big fan of STD CalSent, and I've suggested taking the suit that far (if perhaps no further). Thanks for all the contributions so far guys!! I'm really liking Haerr's CalLogi fitting, incidentally, and I'll definitely be running that one by him. ak.0 // 4 LYFE I am the Lorhak // I speak for the trees. Jason Person for CMP!
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Dominion of the Supreme Emperor God-King KAGEHOSHI 10662	Posted - 2014.04.29 10:51:00 - [16] - Quote Minmatar assault (with CR) or Amarr assault (with SCR): only assaults with good bonuses. Minmatar assault's speed would make knives kind of viable. Since he likes RRs, I would also suggest Caldari commandos; when maxed out, the skill bonus turns a standard RR into a proto RR.
