Hello,
Everybody and welcome to another thread of guess what I am going to get wrong. Seriously this not a QQ thread or a nerf thread.
Ok after reading about Charlie and the supposed nerfs, buffs, and overall dust shenanigans here is what I see happening in Charlie.
1. You will have to run a heavy at proto level to get the same results as you do at advance.
2. Scouts will flourish due to the shrinking heavy population
3. Assaults will make a resurgence but will not be enough to counter the ever growing scout population and possible shrinking heavy populace
4. Slayer Logi's will be the next FOTM. Why IMO the logi will be able to tank and scan for scouts so this should be interesting.
5. There will be a lot of QQ and nerf threads after Charlie
There you have it folks what is your thoughts?

Hehe, I like this: calvin b wrote:Everybody and welcome to another thread of guess what I am going to get wrong. Seriously this not a QQ thread or a nerf thread.
1) Only in so much that they reduced the total CPU and PG but decreased the HMG and Forge Gun. If you're a Sentinel that uses a Light Weapon you are being significantly nerfed. If you don't use a Light Weapon on your Sentinel, the biggest change is happening at the STD level. With 30PG you can no longer run all complex modules anymore.
So in a sense, because there is only a single slot difference from ADV to PRO, if you were using all PRO modules on your ADV suit then you are correct.
2) IMO, Scouts have been homogenized. There will be more Scouts than in 1.8-B but fewer Scouts than in 1.8 pre-hotfixes. Who's taking bets, is Zatara going to chase gal-logi/active (which he already has) or Amarr Scout/passive for the scrubby scans?
3) Dude. No. It's so very, very easy to get over 800HP with the Assault. If you want to completely sacrifice movement speed the Amarr and Gallente Assaults can throw down 5 complex armor plates and 3 enhanced shield extenders for about 1450 total HP and 1350 total HP respectively. The increase in HP will require at least 1 more shot from a shotgun (the typical source of tears) and can ever get Assaults to the point they can survive both swipes from a Minmatar Scout's proto nova knives. You will see a quick decline in Scouts and them moving to Assaults (possible for the first time) because of the new HP values.
4) Only the Gallente Logistics suit can do that. The others don't have the bonus to scanners. Cal-Logi will still be absent from the field.
5) When aren't there?
If you can't keep up, shut up.
Math is easy, you're just stupid.

Assumptions are fun.
1. You will have to run a heavy at proto level to get the same results as you do at advance.
I run Standard and get the same results as a lot of idiots get at proto. This assertion is dependent on whether or not you're a heavy with an HMG or a heavy with a rail rifle. The former is going to be just as unholy as before, the second one can suck it.
2. Scouts will flourish due to the shrinking heavy population
More free scout kills for me. Love it when they try to cloak and run away from me.
3. Assaults will make a resurgence but will not be enough to counter the ever growing scout population and possible shrinking heavy populace
Assaults will be back to THE slayer fits, heavies will be relegated to support. This actually seems to be a good thing to me. Overtanked Assaults with upwards of 1200-1400 HP will be somewhat popular until people realize that they are HMG bait and can't escape the fatties and STILL can't out-DPS the fatties in duels.
4. Slayer Logi's will be the next FOTM. Why IMO the logi will be able to tank and scan for scouts so this should be interesting.
I honestly believe Assaults of all varieties will be FOTM. Bluntly more armor suits than shield because most people can't wrap their brains around the idea that EHP isn't everything, so expect more shield QQ because it's apparently unfair that they should have to fit rechargers and regulators to maximize their tank.
5. There will be a lot of QQ and nerf threads after Charlie
I'm predicting MASSIVE QQ for the Burst HMG (I call this the Rage Bus), and about bricktanked Amarr/Gallente. More dual tanking rubbish because EHP is all there is amirite? Minmatar will be the most under-utilized (Except scouts) because people can't figure out that mobility and not getting hit is just as/more valuable than EHP. |
