and lol @ upgrading standard heavy suit pg/cpu - that was seriously not needed.

Of course it was needed, there was no increase with tiers like with all other suits. And it was only the Basic Heavy.

I've been using the Templar Heavy suit as my pub suit - and it's incredibly strong, able to stand up to proto, and I can still mostly put proto everything if I leave the nade out.

What exactly is balance for a heavy suit to you compared to other roles? Was it buffed simply to suit a pattern of tiering up like other suits have - or was it not performing?

I really doubt it was due to performance.

You do realize Rattati is talking about the Basic Heavy, not the Basic Level Sentinel suit (which is what your Templar suit is), correct?

The Basic Heavy does not receive role bonuses. These suits, minus the Amarr Heavy, did not have increased CPU/PG when you went up the tiers (since they were introduced).

The Amarr Basic Heavies, according to the spreadsheet, actually had a CPU nerf...

The only time an amarr should be duel tank is if the are gunning in a derp or lav, otherwise damage mods on the high end, always. No, not really. Actually, you gain more EHP then you gain DPS with Cmplx SE's then you do Damage Mods. Dual Tanking heavies have always been the way to go for an anti-heavy suit, and with shield buff it's even more so. I am not who you think I am, only but just a dream.

As my Pub suit was red after that update. Not that it mattered, templar suit is OP lol I am not who you think I am, only but just a dream.
