FLAY LOCKED Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 233	Posted - 2015.05.11 23:44:00 - [1] - Quote From what I have seen, an optimized mk.0 player with skill and a CR will most times lose to an optimizd ak.0 player with equal skill and an AScR/ScR. This usually pertains to engagements at all ranges. Now, if we take the same mk.0 player and put him against an equally skilled gk.0 player with a Breach AR and let them fight it out within 10-15m of each other, the end results could go either way, but I'd favor the gk.0 in this instance as the Breach AR hits so damn hard. As for engagements at 60m+, a ck.0 user with an ARR will make quick work of any mk.0 user. Many times, players will state that the MinAssault benefits from broken strafe speeds and weird hitboxes, giving them an advantage over all other suits in game, but I'd like to disagree. I feel that the "overuse" of the MinAssault is garnering it some unwarranted hate as players try to project false claims of OPness onto it. This problem has occured in the past with CalScouts, yet, nothing was ever proven to show that they were superior to the other Scout racial variants in terms of strafe speeds and hitboxes. I'm not a MinAssault user, so I can't relate any experiences of my own regarding the way it handles. I can, however, relate my experiences as aspectator and from what I've seen, there is nothing special about them. They're just like any other suit. The only notable difference is that they're quite popular and a good majority of players use them.
Sir Dukey G0DS AM0NG MEN New Eden's Heros 2197	Posted - 2015.05.11 23:45:00 - [2] - Quote Because they are adaptable and harder to counter. You never really know what a dude has on his MinAss fits whereas you can just tell what AmarrAss, CalAss and GalAsses have on their fits. "Skill for thee but no skill for me" so is the saying of the swarm infantry.

FLAY LOCKED Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 234	Posted - 2015.05.11 23:59:00 - [6] - Quote SirDukey, how is that relevant? My GalAssault can be equipped for speed, can dual tank, can rep/armor tank, can damage mod tank, etc. You wont know what I have on till you fight me. The same applies to the other Assaults as well. Did you know that some ballsy CalAssaults actually dual tank their fits with 400+ armor or that sometimes they barely have shields and go for glass cannon fits? The diversity in fits exist, yet most people believe they are limited to cookie-cutter setups. Golden, where is your proof?

I'm not sure about being faster than the min scout but the min assault at base is the fastest suit, heck it's faster that the ******* amarr scout for reasons beyond me. Now besides having scout speed at base it can dual tank. Now I know what you're thinking "but Georgia! the Gal assault can also dual tank AND have better reps!" And you're correct BUT in this game speed tanking is most viable apparently and the min assault has a fairly huge stamina pool second only to the amarr but has the highest stamina regen, so you're basically a speedy dual tanker that can run right after such a brief break. Oh and the min has the highest base strafe speed Click me

Boot Booter Titans of Phoenix RUST415 1304	Posted - 2015.05.12 00:35:00 - [11] - Quote It's not OP. It's just very versatile... As it should be. Also it is only barely quicker than the amarr scout but with a larger hit box and no free ewar bonuses. People who say it's like a scout with a bunch of hp are either dumb or don't know what a scout is.

So now your thing is garnering attention as FoTM like a lot of other things before it and you want to preserve it. Nay I say. NAY! You shall not be allowed to. NERF I WANT NERFS BECUZ THINGS AND STUFF AND NUMBERS! I don't think it's OP but it does have a lot of great attributes. It regens stamina a little too quickly though and frankly was not deserving of a buff to that attribute (though that's mainly a scout issue not an assault issue). It's rifle is also very competitive at short to mid range to the point where it over performs but can still fly beneath that radar. It's the Rifter of Dust plain and simple. Cheap, adaptable, a little squishy, but ******* wrecks your face if you let it get close......and it will get close.

Don't lecture me on that because I know for a fact that the players treat the assault Min as some type of hybrid that can strafe, run away like a ***, put RE's, and can balance both shields and armor.

Magnus Amadeuss Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1220	Posted - 2015.05.12 03:29:00 - [34] - Quote I would say that: faster than amarr scout DOUBLE the stamina regen of the rest of the assaults balanced slot layout faster hacks (they still get +5% for no reason right?) 2nd highest stamina pool great bonus in exchange for 30 hp is basically your reasons. basically you can fit it however you want, barely ever run out of stamina, and have an insane clip size is the general reasons. If it had one more equipment slot it would fully displace the amarr scout (lol combat scout)... EWAR tool
Dead Cavino Sebiestor Field Sappers Minmatar Republic 72	Posted - 2015.05.12 05:35:00 - [35] - Quote I don't understand this whole broken hitbox thing. My min assault takes damage from EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE all the time. Not to mention my dual tanked fits still have less EHP and less regen of other assaults. It may be the most versatile assault, but the other assaults are quite versatile as well. I've seen Gall Assaults faster than me. I've seen dual tanked Cal Assaults with more EHP and better regen. And well, the Amar Assault just kills min my assaults with what seems like very little ease. And then we got the damage mods... Sacrificing what little shields/regen we already got in order to compete in this high damage meta we're in simply sucks. And don't get me started on CPU/PG.... If ya can dodge wrench, than maybe min assault is for you... I don't like two-legged things.

Extreme versatility, speed, stamina, arguably best bonus, small but noticeable free hacking bonus. Minmatar Assaults have many things that make them good, you can't look at one aspect and say that's the reason. "Breakin, PS3's and PS4's can't mate. They're incompatible. Unlike Apache's and Cappuccino machines." - *Cat wisdom*

Most people don't aim to where I'm going, just where I'm at, so when they fire I'm zipping to the left, they fire again, I'm zagging to the right. I do this when I'm out matched and scrape away some HP to get some structures between us before I re-engage or pick someone else to fight. I get knicked by bullets still while running away mind you.

I've died some times too. I find myself screaming EVASIVE MANEUVERS EVASIVE MANEUVERS all the time. Min Assault is a hit and run suit, so it can't brawl with the best of em. And it can't fight at longer ranges(although mass driver vs laser rifle 1v1s are quite epic). Basically, ya gotta get in, hit hard, and run away once your duct tape starts to peel off, which seems to be a popular tactic these days. Kinda like a run and gun kinda gameplay rather than the stand and deliver gameplay. I don't like two-legged things.

No suit should have 800eHP with good reps, good speed, good versatility and near invincibility. I run a speed fit with 650eHP and with that I destroy most players. The problem is, besides the ak.0s ScR bonus, theres no real benefit to using any other suits. Want good shields? Use a Caldari or Minmatar Assault. Want good armor? Use an Amarr or Minmatar Assault. Want good armor reps? Use a Gallente or Minmatar Assault. Want good speed? Use the Minmatar Assault. 3 things its good at plus one thing its great at makes it overperform. Hence why everyone uses it.

And even if you focus on one of these things, the other assaults simply do it better, sans the speed. And if ya wanna have the E-war of a scout, well, non of these things are possible.

It is literally a high eHP Scout. I think you're over-exaggerating on the 800HP part. To use the shotgun on a armor stacked assault is dumb, you need speed, you'd have to sacrifice two or maybe three slots for kinkats, two will put you at 9.73 meters a second, that's pretty good considering. Three would put you at 10.43. You can't stack four complx shield extenders though, the most amount of shield HP you could get is around the 400 range. One flux grenade, a few well placed scrambler rifle shots and you're toast. 800HP? Sucka I've seen assaults from the GAL to the Amarr reach well beyond that on just armor alone.

That shotgun fit can be mostly mimicked by the all races. \ Currently, ako: 2-3 speed mods (3 speed mods and 2 PRO plates gives 8.98 sprint speed) 1-3 complex armor mods 1 compact nanohive or 1 adv rep hive (20-50 armor regen between fights) 1-3 shield extenders (3 x 72 = 218 hp) PRO shotgun 180 + 218 max shields and (394 + 2 plates = 691 armor) You might have 1 PG mod which helps you fit all those PG heavy mods. gko: 2-3 speed mods 1-2 complex armor plates 1-3 shield extenders PRO shotgun REP hive Do the math or make fittings and you will find that they mimic each other pretty well. There will be differences that give each suit a different flavor of the same fitting style. Making each one better at longer or shorter ranges but with more or less hp and other strengths.

Vesta Opalus Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 698	Posted - 2015.05.12 17:13:00 - [55] - Quote 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 all very balanced. lol balanced sure..... Well he played all assaults at PRO so he may be on to something I belive him but I do not belive that all assaults are balanced..... 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.

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).
