What is better? Being a good Soldier? A Driver? Maybe a Pilot? Thats what this thread is here to figure out. What skills im order of importance would give you the most impact on the battlefield as a new player? I believe that being a soldier is the best thing you can be on the field. You are the grunt, the meat of the work horse that is dust 514 at least starting out you are.
Getting back to Basics: Lets get right down into it. I believe that the general gun skills are the best to a new recruit. So leveling up the sidearm, light or heavy skills such as reload speed, effective distance, damage and cpu reduction should be your first priority. This is of course before you even get your suit skills. Next you should take a point in each grenadier and remote explosives. This gives you a strong and veried way to deal dmg to the enemy. Your dropsuit skills should be next. This is where some turbulance kicks in as far as survivablity which is most important but we can lump them all into the same catagory of defence. Armor and shield skills. After which is followed by your weapon skills AR, Mass driver ect. This is a discusion on what is most important as you progress through SP as well as general combat then vehical which i believe is the next step after being a good soldier. This is on a cell phone so i cant make my posts long |

This is my main skills set for Heavy Forge. If your building an AV forge and want a maximum damage maximum defence anti vehicle build that just costs Isk, these are the skills you will need.
Amarr Heavy Dropsuit level 5 - Unlocks proto dropsuit
Dropsuit Command level 5 - Minus 25% to signature profile (still not 100% sure what this does, prob similar to EVE)
Electronics level 5 - Plus 25% Dropsuit CPU (You need this maxed asap)
Enginering level 5 - Plus 25% Power Grid (You only need this at Level 4)
Shield Managment level 5 - Plus 25% to dropsuit shield (Doesnt really help Prototype heavy suit much, but all helps)
Sheild Operation level 5 - Plus 15% dropsuit shield recharge
Shield Upgrades level 3 - Unlocks enhanced shield extender and reduces its cpu cost.
Weaponry level 5 - Plus 15% to your Forge gun damage (and unlocks 10% Heavy wepon dmg modules, get this asap)
Forge Gun Operation level 5 - Reduces Forge gun charge time and unlocks Prototype Ishkuon Assault Forge Gun
Forge Gun Proficiency level 5 - Plus 15% to your Forge gun damage
Heavy Weapon Upgrades level 5 - Minus 25% cpu cost of forge gun
Heavy Wepon Ammo level 5 - Plus 25% to maximum ammo of forge gun (This boosts your ammo from 16 to 20)
Heavy Wepon Rapid Reload level 2 - Faster Reload speed (Getting this to level 5 next for +15% faster reload speed)
Mechanics level 5 - Plus 25% Dropsuit maximum armor (get this asap)
Repair Systems level 5 - Plus 15% armor repair rate (no idea if this is working, but it unlocks +5 armor rep modules)
I think thats all of them, and that was all from memory lol. There is a few other skills for stamina and stamina recovery but wouldnt worry about those.
The modules I use are:
Prototype Heavy Dropsuit
Ishukon Prototype Assault Forge Gun (Doesnt store a charge but its more dmg and faster DPS and I prefer it)
Complex Heavy Wepon Upgrade 10%
Complex Heavy Wepon Upgrade 10% (second module is reduced damage, no idea by how much)
Enhanced Shield Extender 33HP (Would prefer to use a 3rd wepon upgrade but you cant and there is no way to use the 66HP Complex Shield Extender, as it falls short of about 25 CPU, even level 5 shield upgrades wont give enough)
Complex Armor Repairer +5
Complex Armor Repairer +5 (dont use armor plates as it slows you down to much and your already slow as it is! not to mention you already will have 1300 armor so its better to be able to repair it faster)
There is one downside to this fit however, you wont have enough CPU for Sub-machine Gun or Grenades, but who needs those right!! When you can blast the frack out of tanks and dropships, and 1 shot a heavy machine gunner in the face.
Total cost is a little over 80k ISK per restock, so dont die to much :P |
