Don't bother switching. You see everyone in a heavy now because with base skills and gear only the heavy absolutely dominates the assault class. That will change as more people get more SP and better gear. Same thing happened last build where there was about 2 weeks where half of any team was heavies but after a little bit they all went away.

Unless you actually want to run a heavy any SP you spend will be wasted in about 1-2 weeks when they start getting easy to kill.

EDIT: They're also very expensive so you'll be wasting ISK too.

i only go 10-1 + every game because half the people it chews up RUN STRAIGHT TOWARDS ME or STRAIGHT AWAY. Derp. Against pros, it usually goes down pretty hard because the heavy suit is an easy to hit target as long as you avoid their field of view. Forge gun on the other hand is OP as hell.

Well, the forge is only op in one way. Me and Enigma had a discussion about it the other day. It needs to be able to harass vehicles at range, but should do most of its damage up close. Would prefer a falloff range on it, so heavies actually have to expose themselves more to use it properly. I've played as a tanker and forge AV before, and feel its close to being balanced perfectly, just needs a slight tweek. At the very very least, it needs it splash damage to infantry to be toned down.

Forge gun already got a dmg reduction and does do reduced damage at range. It is only effective at range with 3+ points in sharpshooter.
