running away from heavys.

How long you've been playing FPS games? Were you confused about the role of assaults in BF, Killzone and many others? This is like asking what the role of janitor is in your local high school.

Lots of people debate over what the Assault suit is actually supposed to do. Some say it's a jack-of-all-trades, some say it's a pure slayer, some say it's just a frontline suit (whatever that means). So I was wondering if maybe we could hear from a dev what the actual intended role for the Assault suit is. It would probably help steer future discussions in the right direction.

Dunno what do you guys want it to be?

the assault class is the soldier class they excel at frontline, and suppression tactics

they should have a generous dmg bonus to their races light weapons and side arms, they should have a moderate bonus to either shield or armor regen they should be the 2nd fastest class in the game next to scouts ( and the speed gap should be large)

and they should have a second grenade slot, maybe one dedicated to av...they should have a nanohive only equipment slot

they should have limited pg/cpu to prevent them from brick tanking unless they want to sacrifice both grenades the hive and a proto weapon.

Weed supplier?

They should have a generous dmg bonus to their races light weapons and side arms.

Whatever it is, the HP buff and scout balancing might fix it. I still think it should be about regen though.

Heavy = hp
Scout =ewar
Logi = equipment
Commando = damage
Assault = Regeneration

Boom.

Currently Logis technically have better damage output capabilities than Assaults.

Everything was good except for the cpu/pg limitations, that's a big no no in my book.

Why can't it be for all weapons and side arms ..??..

I'm Caldari and I shouldn't have to use a Gal assault because I'm better with a Plasma rifle and that's already how the Commando is already and I already had to speck into both so I just don't get you people who want others to do what you do and that's use multiple accounts with alts ( I use my main and that's it . Why use alts to do what I could do with my main ..??.. and I know I am the minority on this issue but why waste time building up alts and I'm not satisfied with my main character ? ) , now that's no knock to those who choose to but I don't and making me speck into multiple races to do what my race should do , for instance Gal and Cal both have rail tech but I have to use Gal commando and speck into my own racial Cal to snipe , I don't care about rail gun usage because I don't use them .. also having to be a Min Logi for the reps to be a better medic and my own racial Cal logi and Amarr to anti-vehicle and for the spawns which I like to place in the battlefield .

It's nice that most of you have time to play multiple accounts and devote time to multiple alts but if I can't do it with my main then I won't go and build up another character ( I've tried and became bored every time ) and that's just me I guess but why can't these roles have things like overall fittings as they are proposing for heavies and I like how the scouts will be but bonuses that cripple options and gameplay like RR and CR racial bonuses forces the gameplay and style . It leaves no options to use your own races mercenary how you care to use instead you have to do twice and three times the work because of how the racial bonuses are set up and while it's good that you would like to portray the thought process of " these people are good at this and these are good at that ." , they already have noticeable differences that would be greater if highlighted .

Like Caldari heavies actually being able to shield tank like Amarr and Gal's can armor tank if they are suppose to have an emphasis on shields .

Reduction in depleated shield delays for Caldari .

Shield efficacy bonuses for Caldari .

Bonuses to Shield energizers and rechargers for Caldari .

Percentages of bonuses to overall shield extender fitting for Caldari .

I don't like the fact that I am forced to speck into other races to do what my race should do , every Caldari doesn't use RR's .. we should have a choice in " our tools of choice " , I mean ... it should be a choice in that matter .

I mean, that sorta works in a simplified sense. But Sentinels can also dish out crazy big damage. And currently Logis technically have better damage output capabilities than Assaults. And besides that, just "regeneration" isn't really a role, it's an advantage.
