Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1865	Posted - 2014.08.19 00:41:00 - [1] - Quote On my alt, I had already pretty muched maxed out my Min Logistics skills so I decided to branch into the Assault suit. I wasn't too impressed with it pre-HF Charlie, but since then I've had a change of heart. First of all, I love its bonus (rounds in projectile weaponry). This was literally my only gripe with the Assault CR, and though I only have MinAssault to 3, that extra 15% makes the ACR the perfect weapon for me. I know there was supposed to be a bonus to mass driver clip capacity, and it was a shame to see it go. I really don't see how a +1 clip size per level would be OP for it (it really mean it runs out of ammo quicker), but in order to appease the masses, I'd like either a +1 ammo per level or an increase in clip size every other level (1,3,5). This should give the flaylock and MD the loving they deserve. Its biotic stats are fantastic too. With just an enh kincat, I'm running as fast and for longer than my Cal scout. I squaded up with a few scouts on the Fracture Road Skirmish map and could easily keep up with them running from objective to objective. With just an enh kin cat and reactive plates, I get almost 8.5m/s. The thing regens the energy used for meleeing faster than it can melee a second time (not that that's really useful, just an interesting tidbit). I love these qualities because it allows me to be highly mobile and either get to where I'm needed faster or to evade enemies. Lastly, it's incredibly versatile, able to field a decent shield tank, armour tank, or my personal choice, a more balanced tank. I like the balanced tank because it uses the strengths of the two tanks to compensate for each other's weaknesses. E.g., the relatively low ehp of shields is assisted by the armor buffer and the low regen of the armor is assisted by the shield buffer, and is still quick enough to disengage enemies in a pinch. I also think it's the best swarm suit after the MinMando since its speed helps it chase or run from vehicles and it gets a great bonus to arguably the best sidearm (SMG). The way I play MinAssault is the same way I play scout: avoid direct confrontation and try to work different angles to throw the enemy off, and if you're in trouble, retreat. The speed, hp, regen, and firepower of the MinAssault fit very well with this tactic. Anyway, thanks CCP for all the changes leading to this, from the assault changes to the secondary defense modules. And thanks for reading!

Why yes he did...... Did he make insanely gank oriented fits for prospective Minmatar Assaults? Why yes he did...... "We were commanded us to burn the system...We did.

But anyway yeah its a sweet suit now, kinda sad to see it become less rare after practically being the only one running it exclusively since 1.0. You should also try straight speed tanking it. Lots of fun. I can get my proto with 500 + shields and sprinting 10.4 m/s. Just watch out for those viziams What happened to the repair tool glow? Why won't CCP answer? Conspiracy?
Atiim Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 11507	Posted - 2014.08.19 01:02:00 - [5] - Quote You can do quite literally anything with the Matari Assault, and unlike the other Assault frames, there's no few definitive fittings which are superior to the other options, nor are there specific rules that must be followed when building the suit. Your suit choices actually matter, and is a primary example of the diversity this game is supposed to thrive on DUST 514's 1st Matari Commando -HAND
bamboo x Eternal Beings Proficiency V. 942	Posted - 2014.08.19 01:14:00 - [6] - Quote I think Assaults need an EWAR buff. They need SOMETHING to compete with that cloak. *Eternal Beings* - #76 in All Time WP - #90 in All Time Kills. Member since day one, 10 months ago.
Reign Omega BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 784	Posted - 2014.08.19 01:27:00 - [7] - Quote I like to call him.... gankmaster flexx. So many options when I play in protofits, speed, regeneration, baby tank, flank n gank. May invest once I finish off gal Friday... I mean logi. A display of sucking that rivals the highest amount of sucking that a player has displayed in the history of sucking.-JR
Jack 3enimble Vengeance Unbound Dark Taboo 214	Posted - 2014.08.19 01:32:00 - [8] - Quote IMHO the best assault suit if you're used to a scout. Also the bonus on that suit is really good. I've seen a steady increase in Min assaults. Good choice.
BlazeXYZ xCosmic Voidx Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 153	Posted - 2014.08.19 01:33:00 - [9] - Quote Minmatar assault is the best assualt in my opinion. I killed an amarr assault that was op tanked with my bk-42. I feel good. The Blazing Intellect Machine

Thang Bausch Pierrot Le Fou Industries 213	Posted - 2014.08.19 01:50:00 - [11] - Quote I'm proto min logi and commando. I've been trying to decide what to spec into next. Min scout or amarr heavy were the options I was considering, but after trying out the basic min assault (why not, right, it's only 46k sp when I'm already advanced min medium), I think I am going to go at least adv in min assault. Not sure I will go further because I am not much of a slayer. Like the min logi, I love the min assaults ability to dual tank, the speed, and the stamina regen.
