Breach AR is the CQC king.

Gal assault is a great platform (if you just disregard the bonus).

That your KDR is going down is a sign of game balance, not that you suck.

Use a profile dampener. I know gallente kinda needs all 5 low slots to even be competitive, but try it out if you haven't. I stopped dying because I can hide behind a wall and no one bothers with me.

I also skilled into mass driver and shotgun to counter other scouts with my assault. I run minmatar with 470 shields and 300 armor...two complex regulators. Also got my bolt pistol up there and can one-shot scouts from range.

Honestly, I stopped using a light weapon on my logi and have been sticking with the bolt pistol as the main weapon I use and love every second of it. Take a few shots with a bolt pistol, finish them off with a shotgun, mass driver, or HMG if they try to get close. Most of the time they expect you to be an easy kill when really it's just a trap.

Hey Aeon, just a question. When fitting an add gal commando, how would you do it?

Assaults with 2 damps are kinda effective as long as there is no Gal Logi or dedicated scanning scout. Bumping into a scout and kicking his ass feels great. You still won't see them coming but they won't see you either.

As a general rule I think you should always stick to the role that is the most fun to you. After all, this is still a game. There is no point in playing a role that you dislike just because it is the FOTM.

And yes, it seems there are some larger EWAR changes coming in the not so far future.

Okay, thanks Aeon, just wondering how our fittings differed.

Aeon believe it or not I'm feeling the same but mostly because the heavy spam is on the rise. It's becoming less fun to play murder gorilla because I see nothing but scouts and other gorillas.

We have two more balance iterations before gallente assaults regain their brawler utility. Scouts need toning back and heavies need to be evicted from CQC to open the field to assaults. It's not fun taking an assault into objective points because you're going to find heavies and get shredded.

The long ranges are dominated by rail rifles and the gallente and amarr assaults are becoming more a niche fit with the shield assaults.

I would recommend doing what I am doing now that my cores are maxed. I am focusing on all of the dropsuit class skills so that when my favorite fits no longer have utility or they get nerfed too hard I have multiple fallbacks instead of being forced to follow FOTM.

I have all sentinels to 5

I am working on assaults and commandos to 5.

Then scouts.

All of them. Im not bothering with equipment skills because playing logi usually annoys me.

But I'm branching out. The new SP enhancements mean I can chill and grind out more options than playing nothing but fat.

The quafe suits have been a hell of a motivation to branch out a little.

I still hate galscouts because they look dumb.

Do you even EWAR?

Assault with 2x complex damps = 26db

It beats:
Gal Scout + 0x precision = 32db
Cal/Min Scout + 1x precision = 29db
PRO active scanner = 28db
Gal Logi + ADV active scanner = 27db
Amarr Scout + 0x precision = 27db

The stuff Rattati proposed is just the first step and I am 100% sure that he wants to establish balance. Though, he is not God and that is why he is asking for feedback and I actually like his way of approaching things instead of working on something secretly without ever asking for feedback.

That's your problem. Assaults aren't supposed to be stealthy, want stealth be a scout cause they can beat an ewar assault at ewar and assault hands down. I put reps and armor on my Gal assault and it works out well and while the bonus isn't particularly great it does allow for the hipfire to be about as accurate as ADS at what seems to be close to the end of the AR's optimal (haven't paid too much attention to how far but it's a good bit for sure) which is nice cause you can be more mobile while the other guy might have to ADS to hit you accurately which usually means he's dead.

If you think the Gal Assault bonus is crap, try Caldari. lolRR reload.

My advice: Go Gal Scout. Run two damps and a cloak.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

The good news is they are only one respec away.

Why stick to one race? With the way the meta shifts, that one suit/race will quickly become stale, or it will be pushed out of viability. As a fellow Gal logi, I know that sticking to that suit only is suicide, even if it's a reliable suit. Branch out a bit, switch up your play style. Take a break from the Gal assault.


If you wish to avoid speccing into scouts, then my advice to you is to spec into the Min assault, or the Min commando. The MinAss has a Great slot layout. You can avoid those pesky scans while simultaneously Having some decent shield tank, Along with good speed for strafing.
