I have seen links, rep tools make a difference in a game..never needles except for a adding to wps. If i was a kdr *****, my playstyle would be different. I'm extremely aggressive and objective minded. How many times out of 10 is it safe to rez someone...the revive mechanic in dust makes it not worth it

Honestly, there are times that I do that just to refresh the timer on you - if you were at 5 seconds and you get killed again you're back at 30 seconds and it gives me a chance to kill people around your body and then pick you up again.

Death still counts and there is a 95% probability that you will be shot down again because you are not revived at full health and there is the revive animation that will get you smoked.
If the person reviving is smart about it then its a great cost saver.
However there are a lot of people reviving before even checking the area. |

Yeah. This, or if you are revived by a mil needle, that logi better have a decent rep tool to get me back to full strength quickly, otherwise it's pointless. Might as well left me for dead.

See this makes no sense to me. I am also extremely aggressive and objective-minded. And to me a revive can make way more difference than a link. The only advantage to a link is spawning out of danger, away from the objective. If you spawn in close to the objective, you still have to catch your bearings of where you are. When revived, you already know exactly where you are, and which direction the enemies are/were. There are uses for each if you know how to use them properly. Btw I get way more points from links than revives, but I also dont farm people with a needle..
I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.

You guys make me laugh. How many of you run a proto needle and rep someone after picking them up? When I get picked up it's by someone with a mlt needle farming WP and they don't even rep you either. Very few people actually support you after picking you up..but yeah if you have a proto needle or proto reps then by all means pick me up but don't do it just to farm WP, do your role correctly. |

I run ADV needle and rep when I pick people up, but I work within a squad, and generally only pick them up under fire (unless the person is spamming the help button); otherwise I try to suppress the enemy enough to pick allies up or leave them alone if that endeavor is pointless...the exception is in Skirmish when defending a point, when a few more precious seconds on either offence or defense is all you need (Sorry about your K/D bro...still wish it didn't count deaths until termination) |

As long as you're actually trying and not just farming WP then I'm fine with being picked up even if I die again. I only dislike it when I'm picked up by a WP logi and not a true logi. |

Yes to all of this. I run Min logi, with a KIN-012 and a Core Rep tool. After the engagement is over, you pick people up, and rep them as quick as you can. They already have their bearings, which is more advantageous than an uplink, which is likely hidden or out of the way somewhere, and might be camped. Throw down a hive, and everybody is back on their feet and good to go.
I try to never revive if the engagement is still going on, that's always a mistake, and I see it happening constantly -- some scout running out in the middle of bullets flying to rez somebody, which is just plain wrong. It gets you killed, cause you are immobile when rezzing, and your squadmate killed again, cause he's got no health to survive. I constantly put down enemy logis this way, in fact I look for it -- 2 easy kills.
The biggest part of being a good logi is knowing when to rep, and when you should be firing. My general rule is, rep until your guys are about 1/4 health, then start shooting. More often than not, you can finish what your squadmates started -- then you go back to doing your three R's.
90% of my logi injector fits have a rep tool also, which is the only way to play it if you want to actually help your squad, in my book.

If everyone is concerned about being revived at 30% armor, maybe people should try stacking Repairers instead of Plates. It's actually pretty fun.
As a logi, I've become a pretty good judge of when to shoot or revive. Sometimes I revive while the enemy is still around, and I lock the repair tool as soon as my ally gets back into a fight with said enemy. As long as my ally jumps around to dodge bullets and get more reps than damage for a second, he usually wins. If not, I finish the fight and pick him up again.
Though I would like to know who's near me while I'm downed. I'd like to be able to tell the difference between the starter fits that will revive me in front of enemies and the smart dudes with Repair Tools.
I laugh at those with Sergeant in their name.
They never spell it right.

What you just said, actually doesn't make much sense. I'll give you a homework assigment....ask any successful pc corp vet, if they had to choose for their logi to carry a nanite injector or an uplink...which would they mandate?
I believe they would probably require them to have nanohives over injectors. Remember they must be a leader of a successful pc corp, past or present. Because I'im sure there are clueless leaders who would instruct their logis to use a nanite injector if it came down to a decision of the two.
And don't say that you acknowledge that uplinks are important because I'm not doubting that you feel they are important. But you said that you feel that "a revive can make way more difference than a link". That implies that you feel that nanite injectors are more important and for me, they are the least useful piece of equipment in this game (that I can think of)
