The greatest threat to a heavy is distance, I shred people up close but an enemy with a decent AR can really hurt me and make me scramble for cover if shooting a medium range. If two decent AR's engage me simultaneously at medium range, I usually lose (however if two decent AR's engage me at close range, i usually win).

Keep your distance and frag well.

So what you are saying is that you are upset that Heavies are working as intended 1v1 or with Logibro Backup? If you have that problem run away, or starting working in tandem with other people. Contrary to how most imperfects play that I have observed, Dust is not balanced around Rambo tactics.

Laser rifles and mass drivers make heavys cry. With a laser you can easy shot the heavy on distance and cause of his slow movement speed its very easy to keep the beam going. Mass drivers gain extra damage against armor and a few rounds and he should be dead.

And everything will be assault suits and ARs all the time.

Almighty - Do you really understand the roles of heavies? Because I'm confused. We're just AV? How about we're defenders too? Oh, I heard some others saying we're not slayers. Oh and some cute thread way back when way saying how heavies should get nerfed cause he couldn't 1 shot one with a sniper.

You must blow next to your corpies - they shread heavies like it's happy hour at there favorite bar.

and FYI - your idea of how we're unbalanced sucks. You don't mentioned even a third of the things every other class has on us - but I can understand your rage. It's hard losing proto suits just cause you turned a corner and found a heavy whose suit alone is worth your entire set.

But really - this thread is just QQ, heavies have it tough. All you have to do is throw your proto on and just enjoy shredding every heavy who can't afford to keep up with you.

They are tiered. This should not change. It's like saying a frigate in Eve should be as powerful as a Battleship. It is illogical.

Are you trolling? More mods, better more reasonable prices, and speed alone make it so every heavy out there has to have skill well above your average assault player to not be a pitfall of ISK waste.

Every heavy out there currently is a dedicated heavy whose thrown every SP they can get there hands on to make sure they don't suck - cause our drawbacks are hefty and our end game set ups can't keep up with assaults end game set ups.

P.S. - If you haven't used the B-series you'll love it - day and night difference from the Type-II :3

OP is def trollin' ... has to be.
Maybe a functioning tard?

Heavies if anything need a buff

Ya honestly if this is not a troll, i have to say Heavies are fine right now and like Arch said, maybe even need a buff. I have no problems when i run into a heavy 1v1 most times in my assault suit.. just need to outsmart/outgun them. If you turn a corner and theres a heavy there and theres no where to run.. ya expect to die thats the point.

I don't see where you get saying heavies are AV only too.... a proper squad supporting a heavy HMG can be amazing... Honestly.. i still think this is a troll thread so im not typing more. lol.

I'll disagree with the part of a forge gun having "sniper accuracy can hit anything from any distance, 100% effective to vehicles AND infantry".

With high end skills you only have between 300 to 350 m range and the dispersion makes it an exercise in patience hitting any infantry past 100m. Up close if you miss your shot with the forge you will more often be dead before you can charge a second round or switch to a sidearm.

I DO NOT think they should have added more impulse damage to the forge (the physical push of the weapon against vehicles). While I think it's hilarious to watch an LAV spin out and then make it explode. I don't think this buff was necessary.

Were you saying the SMG needs a buff? I think it finally feels good again for a change. Don't think it really needs anything else.

This is my problem with laser rifles: they shouldn't be effective against heavies. They burn through armour too well they're OP that way. They're supposed to be most effective against shields are they not?

True, totally forgot about swarms too.

Use AV nades, they're actually VERY effective against ground vehicles. So technically, scouts and assault can also be reasonably effective AV guys. I've seen an assault take out an HAV using AV nades alone.

You doubt it, but I've SEEN it done. Granted HAV driver was bad, and put himself in a bad spot. He had a 7000HP tank, drove down road on old 3pt map. An assault was on cliffs above tank, and threw three AV nades on it. A heavy forged the tank, but the heavy was then shot by tank. The assault had a nanohive, and by the time the HAV killed the heavy, the assault had replenished his AV nades and threw 3 more.... boom goes the tank!

My boy Legan destroyed a 6000 Shield 1200 Armor gunlogi with his HMG and AV Nades. He had a little help from me with the forge gun. But in the end the killfeed was him.

I have killed a similar gunlogi with flux nades and my exile. True I had another tank firing at him but the kill was registered to me.

There are various creative ways to kill HAVs. My favorite is running and jumping on the enemy tanks and throwing flux nades at them. I die every time but it sure does **** them off.
