Rusty Shallows Caldari State 2064	Posted - 2014.09.01 04:53:00 - [1] - Quote Other than the extreme ranged Caldari FG Hipster + Logi Butler combo I have been vomiting in rage over the lack of optimized fits. But today that changed! Now I'm only disgruntled. Check this out. Sentinel C/1-Series 1x 'Dren' Swarm Launcher 1x 'Dren' Scrambler Pistol 3x Light Complex Damage Mods 1x Enhanced Armor Repairer Total cost 28,845 ISK Major Draws Disposable Isn't out preformed by other Sentinels in this job Closed Beta nostalgia I have a lot of respect for Classic Logis. New Eden could use more Healers. Forums > Game: Biggest understatement ever
Michael Arck 5338	Posted - 2014.09.01 04:56:00 - [2] - Quote It saddens me when people view Caldari as strictly a AV suit. I'm going to war with the infrantry in mines, switching to my dragonfly for AV. Archistrategos *Where the fear has gone there will be nothing....only I will remain*
Vicious Minotaur 1114	Posted - 2014.09.01 05:22:00 - [3] - Quote My throwaway Caldari sentinel costs 22k and weilds a DAU. I can blap infantry/vehicles all day, and come out ISK positive even during the worst of days. But when a DAU is not called for, I bring out my 35k, triple damage modded basic HMG. Quite the durable glass cannon, but it can hurt the wallet on bad days. Now if only the caldari sentinel looked less rushed... Too bad there ain't a fit for that... I am a minotaur.

Toxic SMG since it doesn't have the nerfed fitting stats. resulting in 15k ISK and some change. Survivability is overrated.

Have you done testing to see what matters more, basic HMG with good damage mods or good HMG with basic damage mods? Vicious Minotaur wrote: Now if only the caldari sentinel looked less rushed...

Thurak1 Psygod9 963	Posted - 2014.09.02 06:38:00 - [6] - Quote Why use swarms on a heavy when you can use a forge gun?
Apothecary Za'ki Biomass Positive 725	Posted - 2014.09.02 09:43:00 - [7] - Quote he has a valid point.. caldari heavy suits.. mainly sentinel and commando have aweful fitting and no lows on the standard suits which is a big nono for anyone as we all remember how bad starter suits were with no armor reps [[LogiBro in Training]] Level 1 Forum Pariah

Mregomies Beer For Evil Mercs 272	Posted - 2014.09.02 12:34:00 - [9] - Quote Cal senti isn't meant to be disposable! Cal senti lives to see a another day! ok ok... I use adv. calsenti with burst hmg and kitkats. Fast engage -> kill -> cover -> recharge shields -> repeat Suomi, Finland, PERKELE! Logibro Logibro2

They're keeping the splash on assault forges and getting rid of it on the charge-holding ones. Not a huge change. Most of my kills are direct hit with even the assault forge guns, so the effect on my gameplay is going to be negligible. Just means I have to be more patient with my shots.

It addresses one of the core problems which make the Minmatar sentinel a better frame. Likes are my candy and in these forums every day is Halloween. XD Sweets for everyone! Forums > Game

Light Complex Damage Modifiers on a frame with multiple high slots. Not sure how that explains it. You could just as easily fit just as many heavy complex damage mods. In fact with the high alpha of a forge gun round the damage mod should be amplified even more.

Its a stupid change, it is totally unneeded. However as a long time forger, it wont make a huge difference to my life. I just feel cheated out of that last little bit of utility. -=#[ Gastun's Forge ]#=- MY LIFE FOR AIUR! "I'm wasting away here" - "Get me back into zee fight!

LCDMs are 40% more efficient than HCDMs. In the same time Regular FG fires the second volley from the SL will be in the air. Even Vicious Minotaur's DAU only gets his first shot off a split-second faster than the second volley. That is assuming he has FG Operation at 5. Hotfix Charlie indirectly nerfed FGs even more. I'm sure it was unintentional. Likes are my candy and in these forums every day is Halloween. XD Sweets for everyone! Forums > Game
