Hey everyone. Hope your day is going great. Tuesday sucks, but it's that much closer to the weekend at least. Don't forget Valentine's is Thursday! (heads up for your significant others out there). Thanks for all the responses on my Raven vs Neo scout suit thread. I appreciate how nice the community is here. I've got another question this time, to kind of head off in a different direction.
I play by myself in Dust 514. A lot. Moreso than I play with other people. My wife and I will squad up some times, but I let her do her own thing and I do mine, otherwise I tend to get frustrated when she does stupid stuff, and she gets frustrated when I can't keep everyone around her dead when she goes headfirst in to 9 people. So, we kind of do our own deal. Now, running around with blueberries isn't bad all the time, but there's sometimes you just get into some crummy teams, and you think you're better off hoofing it alone. I fully realize this game isn't for solo play but is very much for teamwork. But bad teamwork is the antithesis of staying alive most of the time. In that vein, my question being offered up to you, dear reader is this:
What dropsuit fitting would best allow me to be the lonewolf?
Would it be grabbing a scout and trying to back-cap and sneak around to people?
Would it be grabbing my assault suit and AR and trying to take CRUs and Supply depots when they are being guarded by 1-2 people?
Would it be throwing on a logistics suit and run around like Florence Nightengale trying to rez the world?
Would it be throwing on the fat suit and finding a point to defend, and taking on all comers?
What is best suited for the solo player in this game?
Now, before you say "well, it's not suited for solo play, find someone to squad with in local, or find a good corp to join there's plenty of them!", you would be correct. However, I made a promise to myself that I would not handcuff myself, or a corp by joining one before I could consistently go 2.5 on my K/D. Meaningless to some, but it would allow me to be more confident that I am indeed contributing.
Thanks.
TL;DR:
Which dropsuit/skillset should a person pick-up to solo in a team-oriented game? |

I played around a bit last night experimenting with skillpoints here or there to kind of see what felt good and what didn't feel good. Logistics is a fun loadout with a swiss-army kind of skill set, but you die. A lot. I could only stay at about even on my KDr. Heavy is LOOOOOOOADS of fun, it is so much fun to come around the corner just a-swinging your big gun around, but man are you effing slow, and dear Lord are you a walking bullseye, everyone and their mother tries to shoot you, and they can even with terrible aim. I wish there was a way to increase base runspeed, I would be all over the Heavy. |
