Here's a crazy thought.
What if the Assault's new role in the battlefield was Explosives? Like specializing in Remote Explosive and Grenades.
You could have a +1% of splash damage for RE's and +1% (or 2% but going with 1% right now) of nades per level.
In order to do this we must decrease current splash damage of REs. Not sure about nades but ideas will help.
Also lowering the CPU and PG for REs and nades for Assault could help as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assault variants:
(Lvl 1) STD - +1% splash damage of REs and +1% splash to Grenades
(Lvl. 3) ADV - +3% splash damage of REs and +3% splash to Grenades
(Lvl. 5) PRO - +5% splash damage of REs and +5% splash to Grenades
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mediocre thoughts. But it will be like turning the Assault into a different role by itself. An "Explosives Specialist" role. Still call it Assault if you want but here is my proposal for Assault's new role. Thoughts?

As many other vets before me have said this is a bad idea. It would be far too limiting a role and it would not be usefull enough to make assaults viable again.

I think maybe 2 nade slots would be a great idea..but they would have to be different; Locus, or AV, or Flux. To throw, you would hold the grenade button and it brings a weapon wheel like the equipment maybe?

I really don't like where Rattati's going with the Assault, but i understand the motivation. Increasing hp is a safe answer, but it's about as uninspired as it gets.
Tbh i feel the same way about the proposals to increase dps & rof, but agree with the sentiment that the assault should be the class that pushes objectives.
Buffing hp and/or dps just leads to more disparity between vets and noobs, and leaves us playing the brick tank/dps game.
So if we don't buff tank and dps what do we do?
My answer is buff by 2-3%/lvl of assault suit operation all the skill/abilities that allow an assault to apply damage: sprint speed, range, dispersion, reload, shield/armor recovery rate & delay, ammo capacity, melee, resupply rate, respawn time. Why? Because these buffs would do very little to help hapless noobs, but would be powerful in the hands of a competent merc. They are a buff for assaults who know how to assault, without inflicting hp inflation or dps inflation on the game.
Defining the assault suit around all those 'soft' skills also allows it to be a strong generalist suit, and as an added bonus we prolly wouldn't see a repeat of fotm fiascoes like the heartbreaking sadness that is the heavy/RR combo.
Imagine facing your mirror image opponent, but with them basically 10 to 15 percent better at everything. How is that fight going to go?
Buffing the soft skills will allow assaults to apply pressure sooner, harder and longer, and also allow them to quickly react and flexibly adapt to changes in the battlespace around them.
