Mex-0 265	Posted - 2014.12.30 17:10:00 - [3] - Quote Even better than a MinAssault with an ACR is a MinAssault with a mass driver or dual flay locks, especially if you can't aim well. Meh, I give up on FW.

Its been a month since I have played, are they not as popular anymore? Thunderbolt. verb and noun. "James thunderbolted in his pants." "I lit a bag of thunderbolt on fire on CCP's doorway"

I love you guys <3 Those are usually the types of guys who aren't really very good at this game and need to compensate or are actually very skilled at this game and are compensating for lack of penile awesomeness. There are so many things you can do...the assault suits are the new logi suits lol you can load them down with high and low slot equipment and make anything you want. You can make tanked assaults, you can make assaults that hack objectives in like 3 seconds....it just depends what you want to do. Just don't turn to the dark side and obtain modded controllers or rigged kbm's and stuff. Be cheap, just not a cheater lol

Ehh I don't believe they are FOTM, because most heavies can't pull 40/3 matches like some of the really good heavies that I know. But to answer your question ever since they changed the slot layout of the Gal and Amarr Sents the amarr sent plus its HMG resistance and high HP or some of the other awesome layouts you can do (most heavies just stack plates and have no creative imagination) makes it the obvious choice. Its the only Sentinel that I have yet to spec into. That will be my project for the next couple weeks. Killed again has Super-Ebola.

Crimson ShieId Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 1660	Posted - 2014.12.30 18:18:00 - [11] - Quote Obligatory post about getting good, noobs, and no skill FoTM scrubs. With that out of the way... There really isn't any solid FoTM combos at the moment. Heavies are still one of the most common suit choices, but recent nerfs have lowered their effectiveness to levels that can be dealt with easily... unless they're really good and have logi support. Most of the weapons have taken hits recently as well, whether that be in damage, recoil or effective range, those things that used to be defined as OP aren't so much anymore. If you really want to get better at the game, it helps to run crappy gear. It might not seem like it at first glance, but having low health/speed/DPS really helps in the long run once you get used to it. You learn to survive, when to avoid fights and when to engage, as well as managing limited resources and I'd go so far as to say even boosting your reaction time. Using the best gear tends to have the effect of making you feel like you're invincible, that no one can possibly harm you, and the next thing you know, you're staring at the death screen with your jaw dropping as you see a militia suit managed to kill you. I really just recommend trying to enjoy the game over chasing the best gear... unless that's what you enjoy of course, but it's usually more fun to be creative and try odd fittings in Dust than it is to simply run the best gear over and over and over again in the hopes that you'll become more skilled or score better with it. Buuuut... that doesn't answer the question, does it... I'd probably rank some of the best suits at the moment as the Caldari Scouts and assaults. I know the bonuses on the assault suck and the suit is overlooked, but a vast amount of players on Dust use RR's and CR's, both of which lose damage against shielding. The shield regen is also exceptionally useful. The Minmatar assaults are currently on the rise, their slot layout allows for a massive amount of versatility, from speed fits to scanning suits rivaling scouts, they're quite nice. The Amarr and Gallente sentinels are both in decent spots right now, able to get nearly 2000eHP. With a good logi behind them, they're nearly unkillable without remotes, vehicles, or the quick knifing of said logi~ I'd say the Gal assault is also a wonderful suit choice and one of the few that can easily be used at even basic levels and still be competitive. As for weapons... RR's are in a decent spot right now. The charge up time is rough in close range, but you're not supposed to be in CQC with them now, are you? HMG's are still murderous, but the recent increases to heat buildup has made it difficult for crappy heavies to cope. Watching a heavy try to bunny hop about after his HMG overheats is hilarious. Assault rifles have been pushing back lately as well, especially the Breach variant. In terms of sidearms, bolt pistols are still exceptionally deadly if you've got the aim... or Aim Assist, to back them up. The SMG's are still dominant though in most situations, and while it may not get mentioned that often, the Magsec is an amazing little gun, underused, but very good due to the versatility it offers for a sidearm. I want to punch.
Atiim Titans of Phoenix 14732	Posted - 2014.12.30 18:20:00 - [12] - Quote Most people will tell you Matari Assault, but honestly I'd recommend any suit (other than Commandos & CalLogis) to you if I knew what your playstyle is. The 1st Matari Commando -HAND

Crimson ShieId Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 1660	Posted - 2014.12.30 18:35:00 - [15] - Quote Maybe you just haven't found a playstyle that suits you? What do you usually run and how do you run it? Are you the covert ops style player, do you prefer to hold your ground or move when the situation gets bad, or are you just that crazy guy every team has that constantly runs into the middle of the enemy team screaming at the top of his lungs? I want to punch.

Crimson ShieId Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 1662	Posted - 2014.12.30 19:26:00 - [18] - Quote That's... probably your problem. XD Dust isn't the best game to be a reckless crazy, though it can be fun at times, judging by your posts, you're not enjoying it all that much. Try being a bit more conservative in your playstyle, don't rush in as much and survey the scene before moving up. No gear, no matter how good, is going to protect you from three or four people whom you blunder upon while they're having their morning tea. I want to punch.
Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 2725	Posted - 2014.12.30 19:28:00 - [19] - Quote I'm not seeing the MinAssault being that good. Sure, it's good, but no way does it stand out much against everything else. Honestly it's exactly where I'd like to see all dropsuits. I really don't see how it's mich worse than a +1k ehp triple damage modded Amarr Assault + ScR. The best suits in the game, imo, are the Gal Scout (Cal still my favorite though), Min/Amarr/Gal Assault, Min Commando, Gal/Min Logistics, and Gal/Amarr Sentinels. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~

Well given i have ADD, i tend to want to run around and shoot things without sitting still for awhile thus why i don't drive tanks, i wanna be in the action running towards my doom rather than sitting in a rolling bunker shooting ants and like i said, 3 years now, if i did not truly enjoy the game i would not be here atm, i like it sometimes..just be nice to actually kill a few people here and there EVE online trial

Agreed, I don't think min assault is FoTM, just naturally the best assault, maybe on par with the amarr assault. Like how the gal scout is naturally the best scout, and the amarr sentinel is naturally the best heavy. The cal scout is the best combat scout though.
Timtron Victory Tech Guard RISE of LEGION 143	Posted - 2014.12.30 19:49:00 - [22] - Quote FOTM is strafing. I turned off aim assist and just use flaylock to finish anyone who sees me in my less than 300 eHP scout. I die a lot though . Maybe I should just switch to a scrambler pistol and a mass driver but that would be too easy. I want to learn to use the flaylock Proud Christian Jesus Loves You

P14GU3 Savage Bullet 973	Posted - 2014.12.30 20:40:00 - [30] - Quote Basically it depends on playstyle. If you are wreckless, and charge in head first, I recommend any sentinal besides caldari. If you play a little more conservative, any assault or commando can useful. If you want to hide and camp CRUs so you can go 25-0 and call yourself 1337, go cal/gal scout or minass with a cloak. I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.
