stop being funny, it demotivates me dust is serious!


I have yet to experience problems against those "strafers", all I see people complain they cant hit, which is a simply aiming problem. if they are significantly faster then you fitted plates thus have no right to complain . there is nothing to notice, go make side by side test. prove me wrong, the problem is, you cant. if you think that 5% difference in speed is game breaking then you have issues.

go nerf minmatar assault and I will collect all the tears produced by the nerf since I dont use the suit

If you think that 5% difference in speed is game breaking then you have issues.

Jack, just the strafe speed alone is not game breaking. There is more at work here that just Min strafe speed > everyone else. It's a combination of strafe speed, dual tanking, Minmatar CR being a beast vs. armor metagame, hit detection being a bit... finicky at times, Minmatar assault's high sprint speed, and so on.

Now, the answer is not to nerf the Minmatar assault's strafe speed. I think it probably doesn't need a straight reduction. Instead, CCP reducing lag and improving hit detection is a better answer. It effects the entire game in a positive way, not just punishing the MinAssault for CCP having issues with their servers.

Apologies. Was playing around with this fitting to get some DPS numbers for Jack in a previous post. I have returned the fitting to 3x proto extenders.

With the corrected fitting...

Gallente assault eHP: 1002
Minmatar assault eHP: 1037

And the Minimatar assault has a faster walk/strafe/sprint speed.

well that is an entirely different problem. I just see "OP STRAFE, PLZ NERF!" everywhere and it makes me sick. I have even once read someone claiming heavy strafe is broken...

What's in the lows? Please link galASS with all extenders high and ONE rep low with rest ferroscale

Well, Minmatar sentinels do dance like a gorilla playing DDR, but nothing like some of the medium or light dropsuits. Even if they do little strafe dances I still manage to hit them, so I don't view that as a huge problem.

It will end up with more eHP than the Minmatar, and not capitalize on the Gallente's armor repair tanking style. It would be same as putting an armor plate on the Minmatar assault.

I just got a covenant calASS and it wiggles pretty good to, because of no plates....

It's not that fact that they can strafe faster. It's the fact that they can strafe faster AND fit an above average dual tank. Add to that, when people lag the benefit of strafing is made even more pronounceable.

PRO Gallente Assault
eHP: 823
Strafe: 4.5m/s

PRO Minmatar Assault
eHP: 1037
Strafe: 4.77m/s

The Minmatar assault boasts 6% faster strafe speed and roughly 20% more eHP. They pack decent shields and armor, which gives them added protection against weapons designed to wreck a specific tanking style. Up against a ScR? Well it's got armor to spare. How about another CR? Well it's got shields too.

That MinFit is bad, but I'll bite.

That MinAssault only has an extra 214 HP and .28m/s strafe speed over the Gallente, which is insignificant. Not to mention that it has horrible regen for both of it's tanks and it's Armor HP isn't that great either. Couple that with the lack of a Grenade or EQ and you have a terrible suit which isn't practical in any situation.

In a real 1v1, those shields would be dropped almost instantly by the Duvolle AR and with a 10s delay it won't be getting them back. Since it only has 490 Armor the Gallente Assault would have the option to either finish it off with a Grenade or he could just keep firing for about 1 more second and it's dead.

The MinAssault would also be firing, but even with it's +15% Armor Dmg it won't compete with the Gallente's 900 DPS. It also won't have the option to run to cover in time as it's too slow and unlike the Gallente it won't be able to use a Grenade to lower the Gallente's eHP to gain the upper hand, should things start going south.

I have mated with my controller try to do the wiggle dance and most times I move slow as hell but there is a sweet spot were you start almost sprinting hole wiggling. From my understanding m/k do this much better/easier but it can be done by skilled "wigglers".
