Heavy class= Heavy dropsuit + HMG

Feedback:
The current situation of the heavy is highly unbalanced it has gone from Overpowred in the last build to Underpowered in this build! CCP you should find something in between. Nerfing the heavy class in three aspects was uncalled for, you nerfed the suit and the gun twice! Damage and overheating rate which render the HMG useless not to mention the high bullets scatters when start firing the HMG.

Before you judge me i have used the heavy exclusively from the last build and am still using it i have been playing for more than 2 months so i can say something wrong with current heavy. The overheating rate is so fast i can't fire enough bullets to kill the guy in front of me before it over heats! don't tell me fire in burst because every HMG users knows that this gun become more accurate with contiunous fire and if you release the trigger and fire again bullets will start scatter everywhere and few bullets will actually hit untill it start to align like a laser beam but then it overheat again!

The above probelm is worse when combined with reduced HMG damage i agree it needed a bit nerfing but not like this! if you going to make the overheat rate fast at least give us decent DPS so that we can actually kill before it overheat which take a good 30 sec to cooldown by then am already died. Obivously the nerfs on the HMG was unfair and am sure every HMG users agrees just look to how many use the heavy class currently very very few people because its uselss as it is now and the noobs won't go there too because the militia heavy dropsuit is a free kill.

BTW am using Advanced Heavy drop suit and the advanced HMG with maxed out Heavy machine gun operation which increase the damage and lvl4 Heavy machine gun operation proficiency which decreases the overheat rate but i can tell you it doesn't make much of a difference! it still overheat too damn fast, it dosent do enough damage and the bullet scatter is ridiculous.

I have been in countless fights 1vs1 and i lost most of them but losing to the Militia assault rifle is the worst and biggest evidence for the unbalanced heavy class i mean c'mon i spent more than 4 million SP to train my current Heavy and it goes down easly versus a ZERO SP militia assualt suit and rifle! i know am not bad player because i have played FPS all my life and in the previuos build i was going 20s & 30s easily but now i find it extremely difficult to reach 20 kills currently i average 10 kills/3 deaths a match.



Requests:
- Increase HMG damage a bit
- Decrease the overheating rate of the HMG or make the proficiency skill decease the overheat by 5% per level instead of the current 3%
- RBS definitely need to be addressed but maybe by fixing the above this will be fixed automatically
- Heavy movement on terrains is a bit sluggish it always stuck when climbing a rocks
- Balance it your way if the above seems invalid
- Training Heavy takes a lot of time and its so damn expensive am talking millions of SP for lvl4 related heavy skills so at least give us a satisfying outcomes!

I actually changed my heavy class to use an AR because it was the more powerful gun
Something is very wrong....

It is a bit offsetting that I can blast an assault guy with a HMG with the skill leveled up to three until I need to reload and he still survives. I use the type II heavy suit so I can at least retreat and reload. I don't think most of the assault guys are using upgraded assault dropsuits either.

I really don't want to be one of those assault rifle heavy guys, but I might have to start doing that for a bit.

Well I use the same setup but stick to the HMG and every time it over heats I quickly swap it whit a SMG. It works well but its a bit sad you have to skill up two weapons to be on a par at close range whit a AR like the guy above me.

the big problem with heavys was they could spam like a mother.... spray out 200 highly deadly rounds with relative accuracy once it gets going. the over kill on damage and heating was to much. i find it 1000 x easier now to just use a AR. which is wrong imho.

personally i say put the damage back to where it was. lower the over heating to say around 50%, so it can be fired before over heating rater then its current 25-30% this will force the hmg user to be more accurate and have gun control. but still be devestating in those cqc situations or if they have the abilty to use it properly

Us heavy users are supposed to be able to take on a freaking tank! Make it reflect that, make the cost of our equipment higher and in return give us our lead-spraying mini-guns, our armor that makes it that we aren't dead in seconds. When people see a heavy dropsuit jump fall from the sky, they should be running like hell, not laugh. Also, the default heavy class is unplayable against infantry, the pistol does not suffice damage-wise.

Maybe a Heavy Laser Weapon is coming? That would be awesome!

We'll I held my piece untiI i could get the full proto gear for the heavy. After spending 4 mil skill points to get the best suit I am extremely unsatisfied . I am just as good with my level one suit no real advantage to waisting those skill points I would have been better off putting those skill points into my sub machine gun after my first kill because I almost always have to switch to it because of the over heat or the slow reload. I have played with all the guns, the overheat kinda makes them all equal. I see no real difference.

The proto suit is no advantage i still get killed from afar with 4-9 shots without the time to turn around and even find who is killing me. That heavy suit can't have all this nerf and slow speed too!

I'm still getting killed by this combination more than I can kill them, if your gun over heats just switch to sidearm like most people I meet you still win, but the hmg still drops me more often than not.

god if they nerf maraudrs I will be pissed. I dont even like them but they need a good counter not a nerf which as I see it is what this thread is about.

I decided to post here as further changes are being made will be made. I used the search feature as has been suggested and posted in what I felt was the appropriate thread.

And no, I will not invest in Tanks. I am not here to play tanks. So go kitten yourself and invest in kittens, you kitten kitten.
