DUST Search - Charlie: Less Scout / Heavy Spam?

Atiim wrote:

My Observations So Far:

Assaults

People are complaining about Amarr Assault spam, but honestly I'm not seeing it. Outside of FW, I haven't ran into any Amarr Assaults (besides when I squaded up with Mortedemeanor, of course). Though with a CR you can chew through Armor like a kid in a candy store so I don't see where the problem lies.

As Chances Ghost said in an earlier thread, the Matari Assault suit has become the best Assault suit, as well as one of the best suits in the game due to it becoming meta-proof.

ScRubs deciding to spam Lasers? You can Armor Tank it.
sCRubs deciding to spam Projectiles or Explosives? You can Shield Tank it.
Don't want to invest into Scouts? You can get some good use out of your eWAR
Tired of being out-run by Scouts? You can get an even better Speed Tank now.

I hope the other Assaults are this good though, as i don't want the Matari Assault to be overpowered.

Scouts

Nova Knives - A Scout hit me with NKs while I was in my Assault suit, and I still had enough HP to backpedal and then take him on. Though this was most likely because he decided to go after a nearby blueberry as opposed to finishing what he started. It was a GalScout, but most likely not a charge swipe.

Sentinels

Burst - I need to get used to the higher RPM before I can speak of things from a 1st person perspective (I'm terri-bad with them atm). From a 3rd person perspective however, they're deadly.

Though I've developed a new tactic, which mainly involves having blueberries feed the Sentinel, and then flanking him while he's overheating. Perhaps this will make Speed Tanked MinSents with Burst HMGs viable.

I can't speak about Normal or Assault variants, as I have not seen them.

Lloyd Orfay Fantom Company 21	Posted - 2014.08.13 19:05:00 - [19] - Quote I've been seeing people use assault suits like scout suits with catching stragglers and ewar and all...... Kind of scary. I have an amarr assault suit but I don't use laser weaponry for more personal reasons. I have been creating some good stuff with it so far. My next idea is to attempt an assault mega armour tank, or speed tanking assault. "Lloyd could you teach me how to play dust 514?" "GIT GUD SCRUB!" "But I don't see how scrubb-" "GET STREET CRED SCREB!"
