If you were a logi, and wanted to revive a body not in danger, you would just you a basic or MLT nanite injector and use a rep tool to heal the rest of their armor . you would get 60 WP for the revive, and 25 or even 50 for healing them, and you would get about 85 or even 110 total. so why would you need to get a better nanite injector if you had a rep tool. I think that using a proto reviver should give you more WP because you are giving more health.

You receive more WP from better injectors if there are more people to revive because you can move from downed merc to downed merc faster without having to rep them back. If your team is dropping fast then the better injector is the way to go because you forgo repping.
If you are only reviving one or two mercs every now and then and have a good tool then repping for WP is better but if you are reviving lots of people the injector blows the rep tool out of the water.

I think that revives should be flat WP rewards regardless of the amount repaired upon revive. Could it reward more, sure. Should the reward total fluctuate between needles? IMO, no.
And with all due respect, if you're not reviving with the most powerful injector you can afford to fit (relative to your full fit) you're kinda an *******. The whole revive and rep to WP ***** thing is about one of the most useless overall team support actions you can do. If you're a newlogi running around in your basic gear, that makes sense, you're doing the best you can with what you've got. But if you're specifically running a cheap needle and beam to soak up WP you're really wasting everyones time, please do the rest of us a favor and gtfo of logistics altogether.

Agreed. When I carry one it is higher tier because there is nothing worse than trying to revive someone only to see the get dropped before they get up.

The satisfaction of raising someone from the dead to 80% shields and armor, basking the poor soul in ammo and armor repping hives, or even topping off the 20% armor with your rep tool, and then healing that player under fire, is reward enough.

Change WPs from Injectors to:
Std = 25 Adv = 50 PRO = 75
Encourages:
a) using better equipment b) also using rep tool
Fixed.

this would make logi/heavie combo evne more broken. THERE is a lot of proto logids out there with proto logi gear. this would only make proto stomping worse than it is. and it will be OBrain form this combo. so no.logi gear should stay as is. currently I like the higher tier = better task efficiency thing.

Agree with your second sentence, but how does that turn into a 'no' regarding better WP rewards for better equipment? Why would you not want to promote better equipment use by non (yet) LogiBros?

Sorry. I'm not following your logic. Are you saying that WPs from Injectors are the reason people proto stomp? If so, there are two flaws with that thinking: 1) Injectors have to be one of the smallest influencers of proto stomping, but if so, 2) 100% Injectors from the LP store should be more of a concern

OK fine I guess it does not need a boost.

That's the issue though. In the above scenario you'd get far more WP (and thus SP) from using a weaker needle. The present WP revive set-up is one of the only situations where you're encouraged to engage in sub-optimal play. |

But it's not really worth the loss of WP. If you were capable of making injectors function as though they had repaired the target from 30% hp (aka, they give triage points) and then dropped the base WP value of a revive slightly, you'd probably find more people running better injectors.

I dont think youre understanding the issue.
Crappy Standard Injectors will allow you to earn more points than a PRO injector. That's bad balance. Should give WP based on the amount healed upon revive.

Not if you aren't a logi it wont... or a scout, but scouts lack balance so they don't count. |

Do you get more WP for killing with an advanced or proto rifle? No, you get the satisfaction of doing well at your chosen role. If you add increased WP for using advanced gear then it should be spread across all gear. |
