You guys need to remember there are no slayer logis anymore. The only reasons a Logi should use a weapon are:

To defend yourself and your team, especially your uplinks and nanohives
To apply DPS in case the heavy you're repairing is distracted or flanked
If you have a long range weapon to shoot people who you've scanned
To protect the person you've revived, although a repair tool is usually better at it

You should not be full-on attacking the enemy. You don't have the HP or the stats to compete with Scouts and Heavies. Your role is purely a defensive role. You should also be using shield modules instead of damage mods, although a combination of both is also effective.

Which is why I shake my head at these people who think "heavies are only supposed to do point defense" because it's like NO, they're supposed to DOMINATE AT CQC. LOGIS ARE THE POINT DEFENSE CLASS.

we are not point defense, we are the SUPPORT for the DEFENSE (heavy classes like sent or command)..
the point of this thread was just to get ideas for the best all-rounder for self defense with good offense too if you play like that

You would think that CCP would have given the infantry refund that should have been in 1.8.

Quote: it isnt the entire AR line more OP now since the CR nerf? LOL no ******* way bro. Breach still gets danced in front of by scouts, Tac still completely useless, I haven't even tried the burst because I've seen the DPS numbers. Only reason I even use a Duvolle is because I don't have another light weapon and I dumped over 2 million SP into it before the CR and RR came out. I'm even starting to get a bitter vet syndrome sense of pride about it... Running Gallente FW to get my specialist duvolle and everything Dust servers will be a ghost town on 09/09/14 Destiny kicks ass... Like Halo knocked up Mass Effect and gave birth

I want to try to use Nova Knives but that seem a bit extreme . Slap some kin cats and stamina with some self reps and might just try that out . Most of the time I'm being a medic , I get killed either from far away or close up from SG's and HMG's so ... I don't know about those NK's , I just wanted a challenge .

Reign Omega BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 712	Posted - 2014.08.02 21:19:00 - [22] - Quote I use a combat rifle, sometimes an MD, and I never have to sacrifice to fit all proto equip....I only have 3 slots lol. When Im feeling frisky I use a laser, I also have a sniper set up. I shoot at reds whenever I feel like it, then I use the downtime to rep, revive, and drop ammo or uplinks. When I get my 4th slot I will probably slap on a scanner. A display of sucking that rivals the highest amount of sucking that a player has displayed in the history of sucking.-JR

It's funny to think now how people were considered " slayers " with just one main weapon .. well in the case of the Amarr and this was before people used RE's like they do now .

Cause if I'm going to spend 100k+ just on equipment, I might as well defend the suit properly. I used to use a Scrambler Rifle before the nerf to damage profiles. And before that I mainly used the mass driver...but most games I barely ever use my weapon unless it is for self defense. Even then, I want to kill the opposition as quickly as possible to avoid risking overdamaging myself. 7162 wp with a Repair Tool! List of Legion Feedback Threads!
