So I've just spent the last 3 games as a logi, repping almost constantly, injecting, and throwing down uplinks. As well as a bit of hacking and killing when needed.
However, this is actually getting me a lot LESS sp than I'd usually get for going frontline crazy on them. Where's your logic here? |

I wan't to fight, don't get me wrong. My gun game is mediocre at best. I find that I'm more useful to the team, especially the heavies i run with regularly, if I support first and kill second. Since this is a team based game, I play for the win and not my personal stats.
That being said, it's always funny to lead the board going 0/7 and 3K WP. |

Logi have traditionally been the highest earners in war points, which is a big component of SP gain. With bandwidth limiting the distribution of deployables, and increased WP rewards for fighting on points, this may have mellowed somewhat.

I was barely getting wp. Even repping people who were taking armor damage wasn't giving me points. I barely broke 900 on all three games, and it's not like the numbers weren't flying across my screen. I ended up getting 3.5k sp, whereas I'd usually get 5k sp for killing a few people and doing a couple of hacks.
So how I see Logis going 2-3k wp on a game is beyond me. I call hacks. |

dat militia rep tool though...
in reality, unless youve specialized in minlogi and rep tools, its best to be a support logi. Use a Support weapon (mass driver for breaching, or ASCR for stripping shields) and only rep when needed. if you use deployable equips, only throw 1 at a time. dont throw nanohives right at someones feet during an extended battle, throw it slightly farther back, maybe 10 meters, and in cover. For some reason nanohives dont give WPs if its not giving out a full set of ammo. Also, that way it wont get destroyed by grenades thrown during combat.

Logis USED to be warpoint gods. I remember a time when 3-4k wp was average for me. Sadly, the era of logi has been long gone. Constant buffs to other classes, with little to no love for logis, have brought on all but the end for logis. I find myself "slaying" from time to time now just to break 1k WP.
I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.

Not hacks.
It is hard to get those numbers in an Ambush. Easier in a Dom. Dedicate yourself to repping and uplinks and hives rather than slaying. Run with an active squad that has 2 or 3 armored players. Help/let the slayers do the slaying. Use a core rep tool (or six kin) with two streams. Place your uplinks and hives in the proximity of the objective, and dodge bullets. Focus. Avoid distractions. Situational awareness. Prepare. Anticipate.
Happens a lot. No tricks, not even proto gear. Just experience in what/when/how, good logi game, and good squad coordination going up against the lack of same on the other side.
I'd be happy to squad with you sometime.
PS. As a lifetime dedicated Logi, my KDR is really, really, really low. I'd like to think the KDR of those I frequently squad with is proportionately higher as a result.
FPS = First Person Support. Kills win battles but it's kinda hard to kill if you're dead and out of ammo.

I can assure 2 to 3k war points for a good logi is just an average game. Definitely no hacks though they're probably using all proto.
I have hit as high as 7400 wp in a match repping, dropping uplinks and hives plus revives. Doesn't hurt if you can break out your rifle at times and land a few kills or assists.

It's not hacks.
I have a heav I love running with, BIGRED 4UALL. He's a monster who's not afraid to run out into a wall of bullets. He and I play together quite often and we know what each other is doing and capable of handling. Couple of Alloteck Nanohives on the ground and a Sik Kin as a leash and I can keep him alive through a lot. Couple the rep points with guardian and now objective bonuses and it's not had to get the 2-3K WP that we're talking about. If I get another Heavy on the other half of that leash, I can get near 4K WP in a good match.
In my BP suit it's harder to hit 2K but not impossible. I normally get between 1K and 1.5K in that suit. |

The best way to keep your kd up as a logi is to squad lead as well and get your kills through warbarges. Just be sure to tell your heavy when the rep is coming off.

You're not going to get the huge wps till you at least get your rep tool to proto. Having a dual stream rep tool can net you a lot more points. Even if you run solo, create a one man squad so you can put down a defend order for the extra points. Domination maps are your best friend, ambush is harder to get the big wps. Get nanocircuitry up too. The wps vary depending on your needle now and good quality hives can get you a lot of extra points.

It is really quite simple.
You get 30 WP per Triage if you are close to the point or when you had the Defend Order. You can get like 20 Triage tags before it resets and you have to earn WP elsewhere. That's 600 WP right there. Throw down some Equipment. Every Spawn is 30 WP as well. How about a Nanohive? That is 12 WP per restock. Guardian is 42 points, meaning the person you are "giving the stuff" (what I call it) kills someone. After the Triage caps, shoot some people with your gun. Once you start getting Triage back, go forth and multiply. A good Logi can kill people as well in between resupplying and triaging.
I notice that my numbers are about the same since Bandwidth changes. Less Uplinks means my Prototype Flux Uplinks that give a 3-5 second spawn are always doing business. Before, there would be so many that my good Uplinks would be obscured. Now that the map is clear, the choice of 15 second respawn of 3-5 seconds is equally clear. After seeing how easily a Logi can earn WP, I seriously doubt that someone could easily replicate that in a typical slayer type position. When Cyrius Li-Moody went 60/4 in one of his videos he pulled 4,510. That type of game doesn't happen that often and I can fairly easily pull 3,000+ WP just healing people and dropping equipment close to the point though that doesn't happen every game.
"But that is half of what Moody got!"
True. However, that is also one of the best scores that an obscenely good player got. I am mediocre, barely proficient. On my high scoring games, I have gotten to 4,500. If my mediocre ass can pull numbers that challenge the scores of the best then the method I am using gives me an obscene advantage in the WP category.

For you to receive triage points gunfire needs to be exchanged. You can't just rep a blueberry getting shot at and expect free points. And don't hesitate to shoot the enemy after your heavy goes down. |

The potential for WP's with a rep tool and a few well placed uplinks is massive in a closely fought battle, certainly more than from just killing.
It's not an exciting way to play, necessarily, which is why I do it situationally and only spend about 1/3 of the battle with the rep tool out.
I could get moar WP that way but meh. WP isn't everything, particularly in FW where I spend most of my time and it doesn't translate into OB's. But stand behind 2 heavies with a dual channel rep tool while they are under fire and you can just watch the SP roll in... provided you can stay alive with the big yellow bullseye on you, of course.

I can vouch for atJim on this one. The only rules in that channel are don't recruit or poach members for your corp needs. Other than try to squad with TunRa. He might be able to let you reach 4-6k in WP easily.

Another thing you might want to do is... got out of Duna. He's just using you to fund his tank obsession. EQ stands for equipment, which you should push to get advanced in the short term and prototype once you've taken care of the basics (capping armor and shield skills as well as the related module skills, cap your CPU/PG skills, etc., etc.). As a logistics you live by how much higher grade equipment you can fit. Weapons are always secondary. Heck, if you can get away with using a BPO weapon do it.
And lastly... get out of Duna. Your life will be so much better for it. |

This is my point tho. Everyone here is saying "get a good heavy or assault to chase." Can I still rack up 3-4k matches, of course. I've been a logi since beta though, so I have perfected my craft. I USED to pull those numbers on a regular basis (and you know it Data) without a super squad. Now it seems if you want numbers like that, you absolutely have to have a top teir slayer to chase. Logis have been dumbed down to chubby chasers who throw out ammo and links now and then to move the frontline when necessary.

No actually, this is another issue with logis. If you want to most wp possible, you have to use miltia gear (except for links because no one spawns on mlt links.) But mlt needle and rep tool will net you more points because it takes longer to rep. Your squad will appreciate better EQ though as it provides them a better opportunity to stay alive. So basically, your choices are, make your squad happy, or get WP...

it took me ages to realise but a logi is best on the move. i rarely come below first on my team and i'm a logi using standard equipment. key is not sticking with someone. you need to move about taking things to the guys on the front where it is all quickly devoured. use your repair tool for out of combat repair. don't stick around too long or you will be the primary target. look for where uplinks are not and drop yours there. if its a bad fight players will always want a nice safe spawn but not too far from the action.
speed is your friend. forget the armor plates and go ferroscale
quantity and quality of gear is not as good as quality of position and timing. you want players eating your gear up not brushing past it.
and stay on squad comms. if not squad go team and always look out for straggling friendlies as they will likely need help often which is where the speed comes in

My problem isn't SP, its ISK!
This is how I get SP out of a match
Map screen loads, look at where our installations are and where there's are...drop blueprint lav, loaded up in proto nanohive and boundless re's dropsuit carrying swarm launcher, thukker grenade and flaylock pistol, right? Right.
Drive to other side of screen, target enemy installations...behind red line? Last priority...within non-redline range? Drop nanohive, 4 boundless re's kaboom, swarm while I juice up, 4 boundless re's, kaboom...swarm while I juice up...someone tries to engage me? Thukker grenade...miss with that? Shoot their feet with flaylock pistol.
Juice back up...re's kaboom. Run out of nano? Swarm launcher to finish off. I can get a CRU blown up in about 45-50 seconds.
So I cruise around and blow up anything I can and then I have an solo flux OB built up....I will parade into battle with my flaylock pistol and get killed for sure. I'll go to the screen, see if there are any forge gunning or thale sniper b!tches way up high like little weenies! I'll jump into my dropsuit with either dual smg or AR and smg and hit the map....I'll solo flux positions where I saw snipers/nano/uplinks...if I blow up everything and don't get killed I can get about 600wp from it...enough to solo flux two locations if need be
I'll run around and shoot, get shot, throw grenades, drop re's, just do whatever until I see the dropships come back out. Then when I get killed I'll deploy with a forge gun and send them packing...by now I've built up 1-2 more flux's so if I don't get the dropship with my forge gun (even though I get +75pts if I even hit it once) and they get back into positions, I'll flux them out again and we all get the +5's on that beat lol
I just rinse and repeat a lot of things and play....I'll usually end up 900wpts - 2000wpts in any given match...nothing solo impressive at all...but I get a good 5-8k worth of SP out of it...so 8-10 matches like that and I've gotten a nice little chunk of change for the day.

Numbers?
I usually get around 9-12K SP per battle (averaging 2800 WP, highs of around 3500) as an omni-soldier.
The other day I was forced to logi (haven't been a proper logi in a long time).... I got 5247 WP / 10 Kills / 5 Deaths / 19,238 SP (no boosters).

Well, militia was stated as being good for milking WP but having the disadvantage of being slow/limited with healing. I used to use militia alot but after getting my advanced equipment I never went back if I want to be serious about logistics (I still use militia when I don't care about results). It's about how serious you want to be and how much of a benefit to the team you are. |

They have to DEAL damage for you to gain triage points, losing armour isn't enough (as it could be dealt by friendlies or self).

You're doing it wrong.
The largest sources of points for a logi are uplinks and repair tool, but you need to put the uplinks in good locations that people will want to use, and you need to rep the right people.
Just successful uplinks alone should need you around 2-3k WP. Put them in locations near but not on top of meat grinder areas (where lots of people will fight and die). Once people die they will choose your uplinks because they are in a good position to get back to their meat grinder and continue whatever they were doing. Also you may want to hang out in the general vicinity of your uplinks to ensure no scouts or whoever are able to sneak in and kill them.
In addition if you find a good person (or persons) to repair you can easily break 5k+ (though it is much more situational to get a good rep WP stream going). |

EQ stands for equipment, which you should push to get advanced in the short term and prototype once you've taken care of the basics (capping armor and shield skills as well as the related module skills, cap your CPU/PG skills, etc., etc.). As a logistics you live by how much higher grade equipment you can fit. Weapons are always secondary. Heck, if you can get away with using a BPO weapon do it.
And lastly... get out of Duna. Your life will be so much better for it.
He can get away with taking armor/shield up to 3 and CPU/PG up to 3 or 4, those last levels are very expensive and a logi needs a better selection of equipment as a priority. |

You'd think from all my comments so far that I've only just started doing it, wouldn't you?

However, this is actually getting me a lot LESS sp than I'd usually get for going frontline crazy on them. Where's your logic here?
I'd guess the following scenarios, or some combination of them.
1) You've been playing ambush. 50 clone bush is really short for racking up WP.
2) Bandwidth: Sure you're puting down links but you're not spamming them or equipment like mad, you're getting a smaller share of he pie.
3) You're using lower tier reppers. ADV simply isn't is as good as pro, and a dual beam proto rep toll will net yuou far more WP
4) No more squad lead commision. It adds up over time, but it shouldn't be that difficult to over come.
5) You had some bad matches in a row

1,2,4 and let's face it, 5 with all the damned bluebs around these days. A dual reppers would be good though, single repping is a ballache |

So how I see Logis going 2-3k wp on a game is beyond me. I call hacks.
that is a lie. I was being logi for 3 games yesterday and I got well over 12,000SP and 3000 WP just by repping, ammo, and scanning.
Its a dropsuit that fills many roles.

Well this is the thing, I use only proto EQ, as I am a full-time logi. I can make maximum use of proto EQ and I can afford it (as best as CCP lets me.) If you are going to go full logi and use it every day, get proto EQ ASAP. If you just want to grind WP advanced EQ will do just fine. Until then, use mlt.
I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.

Not in all games logi are the first need.
Play a domination with an organized squad and against another organized squad and see how many SP a logi will do.

Though there's a channel called Heavy/Logi Funzone which I highly recommend you join. I can vouch for atJim on this one. The only rules in that channel are don't recruit or poach members for your corp needs. Other than try to squad with TunRa. He might be able to let you reach 4-6k in WP easily. This is my point tho. Everyone here is saying "get a good heavy or assault to chase." Can I still rack up 3-4k matches, of course. I've been a logi since beta though, so I have perfected my craft. I USED to pull those numbers on a regular basis (and you know it Data) without a super squad. Now it seems if you want numbers like that, you absolutely have to have a top teir slayer to chase. Logis have been dumbed down to chubby chasers who throw out ammo and links now and then to move the frontline when necessary.
Yep, the role has been confined to repping heavies. There is no "advance logistics" anymore that allow you to influence the battle, instead the only role for a logi is a mindless drone who reacts to what his teammates do. If you have good teamates you can rack up tge points but if you don't you can't influence anything.
Because, that's why.

My advice is to use the best gear you can afford to run. The militia thing is that if you use a militia injector it only restore some armor and you can rep them instead which nets you more points. I'd just go with a good injector, especially now that many people aren't getting revived. Logis are now only as good as their team, try to find someone who is staying alive more than two second, has a lot of armor and that risks themselves and stay with them.
Because, that's why.
