i dont get it... i havnt got 13mins to find out what this vids about.

I'm a logi, have been most of my DUST career. I maintain a 1.8 kdr, which isn't stellar but isn't awful. My opinion or what you said, I try to provide what my team needs most, reps, revives, links, ammo, suppression, flanking..etc. Some ppl do just farm for wp, hell I even do it from time to time. I want 3 things from my games played, fun, progress, and to do the best I can. Some games however I'm admittedly testing fits, or running BPO farms, or running giggle fits, or actively harassing a tank, all over the map, all game. A logi, in my opinion, is a situationally aware individual who provides support in whatever way he/she can.

However, doing so at your own cost is just silly, it is after all...a game.

I run Gal/Min on my main, and Amarr logi on an alt, who used to be Calogi, but shield suits arent my thing. I think of each logi suit as being even across the board in what they can provide at base, with a spike in one area of excellence.

Amarr being the mobile command logistics, setting uplinks and defending them to provide troop strength and movement in tough fights.
Caldari being the supply line, keeping ammo topped off and helping sustain with basic triage if need be.
Gallente being the recon or intel logistics, keeping an eye on enemy movement.
Minmatar being the quintessential medic, keeping troops healthy and in the fight as long as possible.

I do also support logi being aggressive and laying down fire when it's time, nothing more annoying to see one die with his tool out. Suppression is a vital key to getting an injured blue to safety or a heavy time to reload, watching the group 6 for scouts or any flanks.

Heres what I don't like about logis right now. I dislike the lack of variety of equipment, ideally each race should have 2 tools to support the team. Adding a support drone, a shield pod, a scrambler portal, or other things that compliment each logis play style right now, albeit unrealistic to want, would be great. I also dislike the lack of communications between non squad troops, icons like the nanite needle would benefit for needing ammo, the rep tool glow needs to be back so friendlies can guage how much damage they can take before pulling back, etc. And lastly, I dislike the inability to keep up with my guys lol although that is being addressed.

I was toying around with the idea of a radial buff to squad/fireteam/platoon members based on suit type. It may be better for the commander suit or whatever it was called that we never got along with the pilot, but giving teammates incentive to at least stay near friendly logi instead of us sprinting back and forth from needy soldier to needy solider. It could function at a degradation over distance, like the effecive range and absolute range of weapons.

Overall I think it is a fun class, and has definitely had its share of cycling changes in the last 3 years. I'm going to logi til they close the casket I'm sure.

I still think all logis should get a rep tool bonus and then they should get a bonus to their racial equipment followed by a bonus to other equipment.

I personally don't like how Logis get a bonus that only affects their racial equipment.

You could argue that the equipment fitting bonus is a bonus that affects all equipment

Don't waste your time. Just 8213 on a rampage rant about logi crap.

He sounds like he is straight trailer park. He can't form or complete sentences with out the use of profanity. You would be better off watching reruns of ktb

your poor virgin ears...

Logi are the Seagulls of Dust 514,

Numerous, Ugly, and always begging for scraps... SCUM

That describes the heavy or assault more than a logi.

Didn't we just stomp another team into submission this morning with 0 logi support?
90 kills between the both of us

Ohhh yeah big boi ,,,stroke it,,,,Stroke that pub star talk. Go daddy,,go faster.

Here my pov. I have ALL DROPSUITS to at least standard level. This means I can use ANY at adv (with aurum).

Of all my dropsuits, logis are the least used. They aren't my type tbh. Except amarr. I need my side arm.

When I run logi, I mostly run scanner with rep and needle or spawns and hives. I do feel that "being a slave" is effective to a certain point. Since I'm a slayer, I don't even think about equipment, but when I am focused on logi, I do an ok job.

Now, repping people and stabbing them is useful for team as you help heavies stay on toes and continue to wipe out clones to reach objective (like gal facility) but today's logis don't even care about actually helping to much. I do agree that just billing a life doesn't mean you should have a low kdr.

I dorm know if there are any witnesses for me, but when I skilled into std amarr logi, I ran that think for like 3/4 a year and just kept restocking it and using it. I used it how a logi should work today. I was mostly slayer so I helped my team mates, but I also placed links for team to spawn closer and hives for people out of ammo. And since I was mostly a slayer up front, we would usually run out of ammo. That's where I came in. Dropped two hives and kept shooting.

The real problem is that people now only want to rep as it's the easiest way to farm wp.

If anything, rep wp should be lowered from 25 to 15. That would reduce high wp logis and if they want more wp, they can run hives and links more. It's a better way to help team.



Now I do sometimes run a slave got, but only when I play on HDTV. It's the only effective way to actually get stuff since you can't aim cuz stupid input lag.

My w/l this week is over 300... and that's not from pubz there buddy

Ohh yeah,,,go baby,,I am so close. Faster 8213. I will make sure I pull out. I love you bae

That describes the heavy or assault more than a logi.

All logis in eve get a bonus to a rep of some sort and bonuses to something else. One race shouldn't be better at it just because.

Oh please tell me the #struggle of hiding in the back and repping for WP.
