Min assault is slightly OP, not because of fitting versatility (which makes it nice to have for pubs) or it being good to combine with ACRs or any bullshit complaints about its hitbox being broken, its slightly OP because its stamina regen is a whopping 2.5x that of gallente and caldari equivalents, and like 60% higher than Amarr (might be slightly off on that one).
This gives it a massive mobility advantage even if it doesnt equip a single kincat. In my opinion the stamina gain on all Min suits needs to be nerfed to around what the Amarr equivalents have.
Of course, Amarr assault + scrambler is even more OP, so its first in line on my **** list. |

They are definitely all balanced. The only thing that is not balanced is Shields vs armor. If Shields were buffed people would realise how beast Caldari assaults are. You can get over 600 Shields that recharges in just over 10 seconds. Don't even get me started on how good the reload bonus is in the hands of the capable. Gal assaults combine good armor and speed with amazing reps, it's not my fault 90% of players fit them like idiots (stacking armor plates smh). Amarr assault has an amazing bonus to an incredibly leathal weapon (even in the current armor meta the scr melts face) and can get huge amounts of hp for a medium.
It's not just me though, look at the top slayers in the game and you'll see a mix of every race at assault. ****, kaz sniper uses Caldari and that's considered to be the weakest assault. Minmatar may indeed be more popular because of their sweet looks and versatility, this does not mean the suit is OP.
They are close, but lets not pretend its perfect. The Gallente suit is completely overshadowed by the Amarr suit due to the Amarr suits superior health and weapon bonus, and the Caldari assault suffers pretty badly from the armor meta and from scrambler dominance.
Amarr and Min are clearly better suits, for all sorts of reasons, from stamina regen, to weapon bonuses, to having fittings that are dominant in meaningful ways over the Cal/Gal suits (superior HP or speed or damage output, as opposed to marginal regen superiority). |

You could get a minmatar assault and do pretty much everything a caldari assault does BUT better and faster!! Try a cal assault with kinkats and cardiacts. You get more shield and confuse the crap out of everyone
Except with the min assault you dont need a cardiac, and you have more space to fit regulators, more kincats, or a dampener (if you are speed tanking for a shotgun, for example)
Sure the Cal might confuse people, but only because its straight up dumb to fit them like that unless you dont have access to min assault. |
