DUST Search - How can I be a better Logi?

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?

Any tips or anything to help out, peeps? 1.)First thing foremost is to really know your limitation as a player in the game. It's rare that a Logi in this game can kill as good as they can save lives; many say that they are, think that they are, but usually these logi's suck and are more of a liability than anything else. Know where you fit in this equation. 2.) Never use anything less than a proto rep tool. Two beams are better than one and when you combine that most crucial factor with the Min Logi, its truly devastation for your enemy when your behind a beast of a heavy. 3.) Your the most important person on the field. Too many times I see the **** that pics up a smurf (blueberry) in front of a hail of bullets to farm points or just out of sheer novice intelligence. Don't ever put yourself or the person your trying to save in greater risk and embarrassment for a failed attempt to be a hero. Learn to let people die. 4.) Learn the maps your fighting on. Simply put this allows you to better position yourself to maintain holding points, ambushes, whatever the case maybe just learn the maps so your never lost in the fight. 5.) Become the "All Seeing Eye". This is the most important thing of all to becoming a great logi in this game. Having a great sense of situational awareness will always guide you towards a victory if you understand the direction of where the fight is heading and how it will affect the performance of you and your team. The best part about repping others is that you have the time to take in and watch the fight around you when others have tunnel vision for a kill. Be the eyes and ears for your team and notify them of anything that may come their way that possesses a direct or indirect threat. Hope these tips help you o/ Take it easy. \|LOGi GOD\|** Join HAUST
