think about all the, lets face it, bad players in logi suits. maybe they came from eve, or just never played a shooter before. (i feel like dust would attract some non shooter audience) they think to themselves "man, i'm getting my ass kicked. maybe if i play a logi i can still contribute until i get my bearings here in this new type of game" and i commend them for being honest with themselves.
same deal with the mass driver, can't aim? use the gun that doesn't need precision aim. (i also suspect this is why we see so much overlap between logis and mass drivers) again, as a human being, i do not shame you. i respect you for being honest with yourself and trying to contribute, instead of trying to be cool (i still hate mass drivers but i don't BLAME the guy using it.).
I'm a logi with a mass driver.
First of all, I would like to say that the reason you mainly see MDs being used by logis is because there's so little ammo you need to be carting around a stack of nanohives (6 round clip, and you start with 12 rounds outside of the clip)
Second: I run logi because I'm always running with dumbass assaults with ARs, and heavies with HMGs. Because they suck, I profit from their mistakes with a repair tool and a nanite injector.
Mass drivers are harder to use than you AR scrubs think- I found in a thread I made that mass drivers are considered by posters up there with scrambler pistols as being the most skill intensive weapons. Try them. At close range, you have to avoid killing yourself, and learn when to stop shooting and start punching. At longer ranges, you have to deal with something much more difficult than with any other weapons- a firing arc, and a slow moving projectile. If you master this, you'll be able to kill really quickly with direct hits.
You also have to work on conserving ammo- like I said before, it's really easy to run out if you play like an AR scrub, and you have to be strategic with where and when you use your nanohives.
Not to mention the "skilled" assaults and heavies have minimal situational awareness, while being support means you have to watch everyone's ass- including your own. |

Waiting sucks. Can't wait for the fighters, gunna be sick. when they do come out, goodbye LR and Madrugar, Hello blue sky! Blue sky is pretty rare atm. I can't wait until I can fly around with a minmatar fighter- nothing will be safe from what will probably be the fastest vehicle in dust. And the most crashed
crashed into HAVs
