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.

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

And besides that, just "regeneration" isn't really a role, it's an advantage. That's just not true. I'm just talking about bonuses here. Assault should get a bonus to regen modules or bonus to base regen based on race.
How exactly is it not? Do more module slots not mean more damage mods?

Uh, slayer Logis?

No. Commando is the hulk version of assault. Its a hybrid role that manifested from people using sentinels as assaults with light weapons. Commando exist between Sentinel and Assault. Again, the role is hybrid. The killer is the one with the title definition of attacking, which is assault.
Actually Commandos have generally been defined with a suppression role by CCP.
