Travi Zyg G I A N T 22	Posted - 2013.03.01 15:07:00 - [1] - Quote just starting my grind to my B series and scooped up the A along the way.I may be spoiled by my jacked up type 2 suit with all my shield tanking skills but i cant seem to get comfortable with a fit for the A series. I have most all of my core / passive skills capped , you know circuitry, com. engineer, shields, field mech. weaponry and have access to my proto ARs as well. should i really spend all the time REALLY tinkering with the A series or just keep running type 2 until B? just curious as to what you other assaults have gotten out of your A series suits before making the move to B.

Actually i get the extra CPU/PG , but it doesnt make up for the other stuff really.

I guess like pretty much every assault you have a shield oriented merc so B series is all you want. The extra CPU and pg won't make a difference since even with 3 complex shields , II series will be superior ,cheaper and more effective.
Travi Zyg G I A N T 22	Posted - 2013.03.01 15:23:00 - [6] - Quote very true. i do know some people that run A series just with complex dam. mods and some armor rep, but since the stacking is broke that wont last forever and i tend to REALLY assault as an assault suit, i dont stay in one place too long in skirmishes and im always on the move to engage or hack a new obj. so i much rather have some more shield and survivability while running to my next obj. so i can take a few sniper hits or run through a grenade without worrying much when im not actively engaging another red.

Terram Nenokal BetaMax. 117	Posted - 2013.03.01 15:34:00 - [10] - Quote A-Series isn't that bad if you have a logi and want to use damage mods. The extra CPU help a lot with more damage and better weapons. Otherwise though the B-Series is worlds better.

Heimdallr69 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 138	Posted - 2013.03.01 15:36:00 - [11] - Quote Then proto has a nice advantage over the b series
Travi Zyg G I A N T 22	Posted - 2013.03.01 15:40:00 - [12] - Quote Thanks for the insight/help guys ...I'm going to try a few more things when I'm home but my next investment is b series now.
Marc Rime Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 37	Posted - 2013.03.01 15:44:00 - [13] - Quote Travi Zyg wrote: What are YOU doing with your assault A-Series? I really think that is a private matter between the suit and its wearer. As long as they're both consenting adults this is hardly a subject we should concern ourselves with. (sorry, I'm bored) Anyway, yeah, shields are clearly the FOTM, auto recharge and more EHP after all. People used to say this would change once we started seeing more flux grenade spam, but I guess we're not there yet. ;)
OgTheEnigma Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 91	Posted - 2013.03.01 15:52:00 - [14] - Quote I just completely skipped it and kept using the Type-II until I unlocked the B-Series. For me the Type-I variant's aiming speed is too slow (remember that aiming speed is liked to movement speed). Also the slower stamina regeneration is a pain. My playstyle greatly prefers shield builds and I couldn't bear to swap even a single shield extender for a damage mod now - currently I'm using the B-Series with 3 complex shield extenders. Losing even more shield by using a Type-I variant just feels painful now.

Sontie VENGEANCE FOR HIRE 100	Posted - 2013.03.01 17:13:00 - [17] - Quote My swarm AV fit with complex damage mods and packed AV uses this suit since it's cheaper. I also test new weapons on it.
Sobriety Denied Universal Allies Inc. 456	Posted - 2013.03.01 17:45:00 - [18] - Quote using it as a "dust" mop.. in other words nothing. occasionally i'll camp a rooftop with 3 dmg mods on a freedom MD
Spec Ops Cipher UnReaL. 15	Posted - 2013.03.01 17:53:00 - [19] - Quote A series is underrated. You're doing it wrong :P

I can't fit 3 complex shield enhancers with armor, armor rep, nanohive, grenades, assault SMG and advanced pistol and that's what I really want. Instead I had to settle for 2 complex shields and 1 shield recharger - it's still a pretty b1tching setup. I also use the A series with 3 complex damage mods and my advanced swarms to take down heftier tanks but I need two CPU enhancers to be able to carry a nanohive and flux grenades too.

Illuminaughty-696 Omega Risk Control Services 205	Posted - 2013.03.01 18:19:00 - [21] - Quote Haven't made it to A this build as I don't have as much time as past builds, but . . . I kept using my type II over the A-series last build, waiting until I finally had the B-series. The A-series is meh. I'm convinced there must be a fit that makes it okay, but I'm clearly not specced right for it.
WyrmHero1945 IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 23	Posted - 2013.03.01 18:45:00 - [22] - Quote Guys my assault build is using damage mods atm. Which do you think would be better A-series or Type 2? Type 2 is amazing even without shield extenders, but I'm doing a glass cannon and I'm desperate for more CPU/PG.

Type 2 is amazing even without shield extenders, but I'm doing a glass cannon and I'm desperate for more CPU/PG. The A series has an extra High slot, allowing you to put an extra damage mod if you can squeeze enough CPU out of it. I can put 3 complex dmg mods on with my advanced swarm if I have 2 militia CPU enhancers.
