[Other than not be Caldari, I should add.]
Aight, I'm not exactly a noob, I've got 8.4M SP invested, and I've been told I'm a pretty good Logi. I'm told that when people ask where I'm at, I'm right there, so I must be doing something right, at least. However, I find I have trouble with positioning and decision-making, among other things... though those two are the most prevalent issues I'd like to work on.
For positioning, the thing I see the most often is... when I have my repair leash on a heavy, and said heavy turns a corner, I'm at a loss as to what to do. I usually follow them around the corner, get caught out of position and get gunned down in a second, leaving my heavy without reps and potentially losing that encounter. How does a Logi move about the battlefield, knowing that they're public enemy #1 and easily sighted, thanks to our yellow armor?
For decision-making... I imagine there's more to Logi-ing than just keeping a repair leash on a heavy. I'm stuck wondering whether or not I should have my gun out and attempt to lower the time to kill of the encounter or leave reps on my heavy so he can murder them himself. However, when the target is at range, and my heavy tells me about it, I deal with the target with my range, and we move on. That, I at least have down, but everything else is a blur.
Any tips or anything to help out, peeps?
Whether you're an assault or whether you're a heavy, you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

Past a certain point, it only gets me killed, and keeps me from supporting my green berries, so I often decide against supporting blues.

The 'sound' of the disconnect of the rep tool is enough to draw back my attention if my healee gets out of range. I agree with this, it's why I love the targeting system of the rep tool. I can watch our six, call out nearby targets and intel and kinda "steer" my heavy around. As for when we get flanked, this is often when I stop repairing and instantly open fire.
lee corwood wrote:Don't neglect the whole team for your heavy. Heavy is just one piece of the puzzle. All blues need support. True, though Sentinel/HMG is the one class I don't know how to work with all too well. Not knowing how to work with an HMGunner feels a lot like being single on Valentine's Day, for some reason, I'm really not sure why. With an Assault/Commando? We easily redline the enemy team, somehow.
lee corwood wrote:As for knowing when to pull out your gun, this is sadly just going to take lots of experience. I've seen 1v1 happen with my traveling heavy and it was better for me to stop healing and start shooting so I could revive him after the threat was down. I notice that sometimes too. I don't like leaving my heavy to die, but it happens sometimes. Luckily, I pick them up, rep them to full armor and we get back to killing.
Whether you're an assault or whether you're a heavy, you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
