Until one day the mighty hammer of the CCP gods crippled my right arm (read: repair tool) and said unto me "Due to the sins of thine brethren, thou art punished and made lame. Cry unto the world of the woes thine WARRIORS brethren have cause to fall upon thy shoulders and rue the day they they teamed up to ruin the life of all logistics players!" Since that day I have struggled along repairing sparingly and trying to make up for lost progression with what useful tools remained available to one such as I.
I am no front line fighter, I am no 20/0 beast of the battlefield, I am but a lowly and poor soul who eeks out a living mainly from the kind souls who are courteous enough to use my nanohives, droplinks and hacks (which I rarely get wearing the second slowest suit in the game), and from helping out the occasional downed ally who requests my assistance. I am a crippled shadow of my former self without the growth help of my right arm.
I used to have a chance to be top of my teams scorboard on the merit of my helpful nature, being an awesome medic was just as rewarding as being an awesome defense for my team. Now I can only reach such a position when I play with a team that has a hard time dealing with the enemy and has no choice but to either spawn in at my droplinks or risk randomly spawning in front of an enemy.
I am going to have to try to put points into other areas late in the build now I suppose, and it is going to be painful to try to keep up with others who are far better specialized for combat than I am, but without any gain from my repair tool I feel I have little choice. If you see me on the battle field, look not for me to heal you any longer. I am through with it. If I am called upon by my corp to battle for them, I will use it for the good of STB even though it will cause me to lag in my score, but outside of that I will no longer be full Logi-support. If the great gods of CCP deem that I am worthy of having my right arm back I will come back with a vengeance to aid my brothers in arms, until then thank you for reading.
As someone who repped pre-Codex, I haven't noticed a change in my SPl. I gain more SP by carrying an extra nanohive or uplink anyways. Now, in corp battles ect i will always run a rep if i have a heavy to follow, but for the most part the 25 sp from healing someone was never consistent, i would probably get around two or three +25 sp's a match, regardless of the fact that i was healing _EVERYONE_. The tick for WP was way off, meaning, you needed to heal heavies to get ensure you would get a tick. |
