While your guide points out obvious advantages and disadvantages of certain suits I don't feel it does justice to the PLC itself.
I used the PLC on a Gallente Logi back when armor tanking sucked and I did fairly well with it (even without fully skilling it). It all depends on how you use it. You could use it aggressively or defensively, it's actually more about positioning yourself well and learning on how to aim the PLC on idling or moving targets in close-range and long-range (more trickier) shots. NOT skilling up the PLC-skill-tree could actually improve your PLC skills faster as you can't rely on that extra shot. It's not really a rocket science you just need to get used to it which can only be done by practice.
When you are starting out, focus on picking out your target, go for the idling ones. Make sure you can get in cover after you make your shot. Practice both short and long range (aim higher for longer distances). You could also wait for reds to run around a corner/doorway to pop them, this gives you a little bit more confidence/lauhgs/feeling for the weapon.You don't need enemies to practice your aiming, use your environment/red equipment to learn the aiming.
After that you can decide if you want to skill up the PLC further or not.
A cloak is not necessary, it will only eat more CPU of your suit.
If you find yourself dying from your own shots, try shooting from a greater distance or use a jump-shot.

The only reason why you write "I don't mean to sound cocky" is because you are. Using the PLC since you joined DUST and maxing it's skill tree doesn't suddenly make you the expert. |

Well, I'm sorry I'm not prepping people to play a whole match searching for inactive enemys. Do you think that's the right way to use it?
You obviously missed out these words "When you are starting out". With idling enemies I mean enemies that stand still not inactive enemies. I'm just making this guide useful by explaining how people new to the PLC can improve their aiming with it (which to me seems where most people struggle with, not the choosing of a specific suit that's a whole guide on it's own).
Quote:By defensive you mean play scared. The plasma cannon is a very bold weapon. You're supposed to play aggressive.
Again you try to frame my sentences differently. I just looked up the word defensive in the dictionary and it didn't mentioned anything involving the word scared.
About the 'play aggressive'-part. No. You can perfectly hold an area by popping out, taking a shot and getting in cover to hold of the enemy...in other words defensively.
You could also take on 5 guys when running in a scout suit. Surprise them by popping one, retreat, go back and repeat. Retreating has been a tactical advantage in warfare for god knows how long, but feel free to call it a tactic for pussies that are too scared.
Quote:And btw I think for someone that has been using it for a longer time opposed to someone that looks as if he has been using it for 2 days.
Prove to me that I'm just using it two days? Stop trying to imply things that aren't true...it makes you look stupid. BTW you telling us that your second choice for a suit was the Caldari scout really makes me doubt about the "I've been using the PLC for a longer time than everyone else"-stuff you are claiming.
Quote:I think we can both tell who may know more about that certain subject.
I think we do and it's not you, which is why I added some thing to your guide.
Quote:Read over it again, I said you may find yourself dying from your own shots for a while. I did not quite say that I do. Just because my skilltree is capped doesn't mean I go around with an Allotek Cannon and blast people, I use the KLA and the basic cannons too.
Again, You never mentioned how to avoid kiling yourself so I just added some valuable information to your guide. |

I misread that 2 days-things, sorry for that. I don't see why another thread is needed if there already exists one, this guide could only improve more by additional viewpoints, but that may be hard with the mentality you showed in post #6.

Its not about adding opinions. I enjoy different opinions but the way you are twisting my words, being rude, and being immature is not welcome. Look back at your first post and read it to yourself and tell me if you think that is the most proper etiquette that you could have chosen.
How can you enjoy different opinions after saying "I don't believe anyone knows better"? Maybe you are just the rude immature one that can't take any criticism that only likes sugarcoated responses which is probably the only reason why you felt my post was hostile.
Obviously I don't see what's wrong with my initial post and I don't see how I'm twisting your words either, but I'll give you a chance to clearly explain yourself. |

Then again I would've believed with the argument youre making that you're smart enough to take home the real point but I guess you're not. So let me dumb it down for you. N-o-t e-v-e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e can pick up a Plasma Cannon and immediately know how to use it. So there may be other advice on it, but its a suggestion to follow my advice and see how it goes. Now if I were using your mentality, I would say: That's ******** to put a Plasma Cannon on a Logi suit because that's stupid.
I asked you to show me how I'm twisting your words and this is what you come up with? 
I don't really see how that mentality belongs to me. You're the one claiming that the only way for PLCs are to use them aggressively and it's stupid to use them defensively. You even say things like "By defensive you mean play scared"...how do YOU even know what I mean? and I'm supposed to be the one twisting peoples words? . You don't even address why defensive play doesn't work while I gave some small examples..yeah I guess you really got my mentally down to the point  .
Also funny how you take 'logi + PLC = stupid' as example as I clearly said I used to use that combo before .
ughh...there are either some language barriers or you are just some big troll...either way I'm done with you, I guess people who read this thread can make up their own mind if mine and other "additions" are just whack.
