I see a lot of people complaining about heavies, as well as defending heavies.
My main issue with heavies isn't that the HMG does too much damage or that the suits have too much HP/resistance, it's that they're too damn fast.
Let's take a look at TF2. Team Fortress 2 has a heavy class with very similar traits to the heavies in DUST 514, having an HMG, more health and slower. The biggest thing is that it is SLOW, very slow. It also has a shorter range weapons, which leaves it very vulnerable in open areas.
In Dust, proto heavies are extremely hard to kill and takes a lot of ammo to kill. Armor stacked heavies are slow, as they should be. My issue isn't with armor stacking, it's with KinCat stacking. Gallente heavies can currently pull off 2 complex kincats, an enhanced plate and a complex armor repair, making them self sufficient, tanky and substantially fast. If there was, say a penalty to heavies using KinCats, then it would increase the amount of time it takes for the heavy to close the gap and get the target into it's optimal range.
Proto heavies with armor stacking are vulnerable at range, because they're SLOW. Forcing them to be very defensive. Proto heavies with KinCats can pull off 7m/sec which I have a HUGE problem with. If a heavy can pull off 7m/sec it's very similar to a basic medium frame, which has no damage resistance, no access to heavy weapons, and half the HP. This is a very big problem as heavies can move around corners, escape damage when pinned, and assault points much easier, rendering the assault class even more obsolete.
The sentinel class should be used for what it's named after, being defensive. If you would like to be offensive with a heavy, then leave commando's speed the same, but heavies using KinCats are entirely too fast. Heavies should be moving at 6.2 m/sec at the very most, unless Minmitar.

Until I read this lol c'mon maaaaaan.
So you think having 1200 ehp, moving at 7.3 m/sec, with the highest DPS weapon in the game that even serves as minor AV, as well as damage resistance is balanced?
Okay.
