Which route do you think is more effective?

1. Unlock expensive suits first and equip them with less effective gear but with plenty of free CPU and power grid.

2. Maximize lower cost suits and gear and move to the more expensive suit when you can't squeeze any more benefit out of them.

I know the route I'm taking. The first thing to train to the next tier will also be my weapon.

That depends...If you're talking about Assault....

You can't get near the tank a PROTO suit can nor can you carry as many equipment items.


I'm not going to assume you haven't been here for a while but most of the older closed testers have seen the difference between the gun variants narrowed to where many of us think you are better off using STD or ADV weapons for the fitting benefits.

A PROTO suit player with complex extenders will not only out tank you by a mile but he will also likely have RE's to go with the hive or a hive and injector combo....or a repper...or an uplink. We do CB quit a bit so having more fitting options is important and that extra equipment slot is a distinct advantage when you have a whole squad of Assault guys with 2 equipment slots.

Personally, I've done it both ways but I'm glad I knocked PROTO out early this time. Especially considering I can't decide on a primary weapon specialization.

To each their own....just saying your dismissing the thoughts of very successful corps who have been at this a while.

Going proto suit 1st doesn't work with heavy

I've been here since closed beta.

The point brought up earlier was ignoring core skills to get into a prototype logistics suit as fast as possible. At this point unlocking a prototype suit means the vast majority of your SP is in the suit and not much else. I have 3.2 mil SP entirely in logistics and core skills and nothing else and my best suit is the A-Series. Others probably have a bit more SP than I do because I've been working overtime since before the reset. If I had aimed for the suit I would have no other skills trained today.

:''''( I feel your pain.

Luckily we can still strap on a Boundless and 2 complex damage mods easily enough

This Friday (or surely Saturday) I will become the strongest Logistics user on Dust 514.

<3 my proto logi suit.

I tried to tell him he wasnt the first

You underestimate me.

P.S. Good job CCP for making a great suit, I would write some paragraphs describing the Logi's full potential but I fear others would eventually use it against me.

Going proto too early can be hurtful. I pwn protos all day with my advanced A. I think any logi, as long as he has 2.5 mil sp or better if speced right could afford to go proto, plus it would be the biggest upgrade they can get. I just decided a few days ago that saving for it would yield the biggest return over minute upgrades at this time. Now that players have started getting those higher tier weapons, all the shield and armor you can fit on a type a is not enough to stand up to but a few duvolle burst, or that dreaded instant pop shotgun rounds to the head.
