DUST Search - Jetpacks on assaults?

Jet packs might be a little to OVERPOWERED.

But considering all the ROOF UPLINK spam the assault could be the ones in the dept of Height.

Let me explain.
Each class has two strong points :

Scouts: E-war + cloaks
HEavy: Point defense and CQ combat
Logi: Equipment and Versatility
Assault: Versatility.
Commando: Double L weapon wield (Damage versatility) {Guess this means commandos are lacking something too}

Assaults are missing something and height advantage could be it!

Jetpacks are a little too much, but what if:

GÖª Anti Gravity Belt / Equipment : For a specific amount of time , the user will be able to jump x2 / x2.5 / x3 times the regular height.

Example this is NOT well thought through, is just an instant idea):
GÖª STD: 10 secs of effect / Cooldown 15 / Jump height x2
GÖªADV: 20 secs of effect / Cooldown 15 / Jump height x2.5
GÖªPRO: 25 Secs of effect / Cooldown 10 / Jump height x3

All assault bonuses modified to reduce the CPU/PG requirements for this piece of equipment (in addition to the already existing one for Grenades/light and sidearms).

Rather than being a cloak it provides a temporary benefit. I.e a cloak is stealth. Some of these benefits could be: (all temporary) Ewar jammer Speed boost (charge at an opponent like a raging bull on droids) Temporary resistance bonus like 50% damage resistance for 5 secs Temporary damage bonus for like 5 secs A repair boost to your passive systems supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

If you have it like active gadged it should be active like active gadget ergo like cloak or scanner. What is what you dont want i think. If you want it like passive thignie just like double jump or something else it will be too OP. CCP can make it like tactical, what will be something like jumppack: 1.)Activation (like trhough button push - like with every tactical gadget) 2.)Jump 3.)Landing (with burnout/landing delay) 5.)Possibility to shoot (after burnout delay) Jetpack can be too OP i thing better for longshot will be the Jumppack *"Savvy"*

Maybe limit jetpack users to two sidearms so they can carry a 'plasma pistol and power sword' (ion pistol and nova knives) like a Warhammer 40k assault marine.

Jetpacks should be like a cloak.... An Equipment slotted item that has drawbacks adverse to the obvious advantages to fitting it. Anything that allows players to have more Multi-level playability and ability to counter it in DUST will do nothing but add to the game.

Every suit aside from the assault has some form of unique gimmick that sets it apart in a "fun" way, and not just a "spreadsheet" way. Commandos being the second most lackluster in that department. Logis have their equipment spam (and will eventually have fun things like drones, turrets, etc), scouts have their fast movement, stealth, information gathering abilities. Heavies have their incredible armor and massive weaponry. And assaults are just.... medium sized, run of the mill dudes who can sorta fight decently. Nothing unique, just moderate competence on all ends. That should be fixed. Vertical movement would give them a fun gimmick that would also serve to counteract against high-ground uplink spam. I don't believe that assaults should have jetpacks because that directly changes the dynamic of an actual gunfight going on. I do believe, however, that they should have grappling hooks on reasonable cooldown. That makes them difficult to use during an actual fight, but great for positioning before hand. It's my fault FA exists. Direct your rage to me.

This would also help a lot with countering rooftop/tower camping. Make the suit lockable with swarms when the jet pack is active (and possibly for a few seconds thereafter as it cools down). Have the fitting work like the cloak with the Assault getting a bonus the way a scout does. You should be able to fire while jet packing, but only hipfire, and there should be a major penalty to dispersion. Best PvE idea ever!
