* Caveat: Layman

Ran Logi a 'bit earlier today. Gal w/ 2 KinCats + Ferros.
The speed buff did not strike me as overly done.

Agree, so far so good regarding the changes.
[Note: my testing is still in the very early stages, conclusions may change with more time and data]

Trying out a shield/speed build on my Min logi right now.

Feels like the closed beta with our vk.1 suits. Very happy about that.

It is my heavy suspicion that with strafing nerfs more and more people are going to resort to myofibril stacked fits.

So, overall I would say that it is completely viable to run a kin cat/regulator/reactive in the lows while stacking shields in the highs.

Sprint speed is about 8.6, and that really helps when you need to either get over to someone else quickly, or possibly just jump over a barrier...

I'm special.

Any dust port soon?.

I find this very effective, even on the slow Amarr Logi. But instead of a Mass Driver, I use the AScR to help keep range and kill if need be. Mostly because I am horrible with those snowball launchers.

I certainly hope so.

god damn I love your sig.

Ok, so I am thinking of skilling into the Min Logi, and I know very little about Logis.

What is it geared towards?

What are its weaknesses?

How would you run it?

Any insight would be helpful.

Well, the bonus is to a reptool, so the easiest answer is... a rep/support Logi. That is not the only answer, or the whole answer, but it is a place to start.

I seem to remember you run a scout primarily? As such, are you interested in the Min logi specifically due to it having higher base speed that the other logis? If so, you will obviously want to optimise that advantage. Even after the recent nerf, it still has nice stamina regen, which helps with mobility.

The Min suits can really be run in so many different ways, they lend themselves to at least armour, speed or hybrid tanking easily enough, but in my opinion the innate shield regen values can make pure shield tanking somewhat frustrating. I personally tend to mainly go for a mix of regen and speed tanking over HP bricking, depending on the purpose of the fit obviously.

One of the most common Minlogi "standards" is probably the fairly mobile frontline medic type. Not really speedtanked, as you will lack the survivability to really perform as a combat support in that case, but not bricking to be a sitting duck either. Reptool, needle, hives, whatever else you deem useful fo the fourth slot, stick to a couple of team or squad mates and support them pushing/defending an objective while watching the flanks.

If you plan to ignore the reptool bonus and not run one, focusing more on the speed lends itself really well to a demolition/uplink patrol logi. RE/ Proxy traps where applicable, or a fit with a set or two of uplinks, where you stay out of the thick of the battle, but rather use your mobility to circle the battle and clear enemy links and place your own, swooping in to needle people or thow ammo at friendlies as needed. Massdriver is lovely for clearing out enemy equipment ;)

10/10 Should create a Logi chat channel in game. If one currently exists someone should totally tell me.....

A Triage Ward chat should totally be a thing, I'll open one up tomorrow. Good idea
