the type-II suit is not a valid solution to low mobility. you're stuck using a standard level suit forever...
i'm skilled up far enough to use proto logi. so if i swap THAT for the type-II i'm not losing 1 gear slot to gain mobility... i'm losing 2 gear slots, 2 low slots, 2 high slots, and a fuckton of PG/CPU/shields/armor... for the SAME mobility...
if there was a prototype tier equivelant, where the only tradeoff was the 4th gear slot for the mobility, then it might be a valid argument.
edit: also, if you're just gonna use the type-II logi forever, why not use a prototype scout or assault for BETTER everything else and the same 2 gear slots? |

edit: also, if you're just gonna use the type-II logi forever, why not use a prototype scout or assault for BETTER everything else and the same 2 gear slots? Because I personally don't feel the need to spend 100-150k isk for proto equipment when I can pull the same KDR and support my team the same as in type II. I don't have the best KDR but it is 1.79, so it's not horrid either. I can field my type II for 30k isk and never worry about isk. People use the saying don't field what you can't afford to lose. So I use what I need to get the job done. Maybe later I will go back to proto suits but right now I don't see a need. Only proto I use is my weapon and low slot armor repper. Like I said it is what I think is best, never said it was.
what does this have to do with KDR? and i didn't say you said it was the best, but you did claim it as a solution to low mobility, which it is not, for those reasons i stated.
even if you don't wanna run prototype fits all the time, at some point SOMEBODY is going to be in a match that matters. a match that's worth spending extra. a high profile contract, a corp battle, whatever. what do they wear for that?
better gear is exactly that: BETTER. nobody is better off for having there EHP cut in half.
no type-II suit is a legitimate "endgame" option. whether or not you plan on participating in that endgame is up to you, but you don't get to make that decision for the rest of us, and you can't claim the endgame is balanced because an early game suit "with a twist" exists. |
