100% armor regen at proto CalLogi would be a serious reason to start running needles...particularly higher quality ones.
The WP equity for triage points vs the rep tool clearly needs to be addressed. Seems pretty obvious, both tools can provide HP and should get the similar WP awards.
Logi tribe needs to rally on this one a bit and push for it to be in the next hotfix.
I fully support every racial logi gaining some bonus to a second equipment type.
This works well for Cal.
Fixes to equipment rewards are desperately needed (and should likely happen first but that's it's own issue).
Second values;
- Cal - Needles
- Min - REs (number carried)
- Amarr - Proxies (splash AoE, or failing that explosive damage)
- Gal - UhOh ran out of equip (cloak is for scouts)
We really do need more equipment diversity.
Failing that we could give one of the Logi types a non-equipment based bonus (alternatives)
- Cal - We'll keep needles, they make thematic sense and could provide some tactical synergy as well.
- Min - Repair module effeminacy. Keeps repair theme, requires mod slot use, is on the most fragile logi suit (which has to remain in combat zones repping people to use it's other bonus) so it's not prone to slayer builds.
- Amarr - Bonus to total Prox or REs carried. They're the 'combat logi' complete with side arm. Uplinks are already about breaching and holding tactical zones which Prox and REs would support. Slower logi frame so not going to overlap with scout roles in hacking or speak deploy of equipment.
- Gal - Reactive plate fittings bonus (or general plate fittings bonus). Gal logi are already fully tanked most of the time so this extra fittings would free up space for more diverse equipment use, and use of higher quality equipment. However without the supporting skill buffs the Gal would never eclipse the other logi for max value of use.
Drawback of the above proposal is the same as the drawback of almost every logi proposal, min-maxing the suit for pure slayer roles sans-equipment causes role/balance issues. Fix that be requiring equipment slots to be filled for a fitting to be valid.
Some opening thoughts.
