I was discussing this earlier. I play logi now because I legitimately like the prospect. I like being more support, but I can also play a somewhat less-effective assault.
But that's because I'm minmatar. honestly, the only glaring problem is the caldari logi suit. the fact that most people are using that one suit is testament to that. They shouldn't have given it 5 highs AND the shield bonus. furthermore, I'd be fine if logi's got a damage penalty for each level of logi we get. So level 5 logi = 5 armor rep, and -10 weapon damage. Maybe not, but somehow gimping the logi's assault capability might deter people drom using it as assault 2.0. unfortunately it seems like the downhill slope has already started. |

I mean you could just spec into Basic suits and accomplish nearly the same thing. And save yourself a few million skill points. The friggin' Minmatar Basic Proto has a better and more balanced shield/armor stats, better speed/mobility, a second weapon slot, 5 high slots, 2 lows and an equipment. This argument is just ludicrous.
It's perplexing how people can jump into a convo without knowing what they are talking about.
the issue at hand (which was explained earlier in this thread.. in the OP actually) is that the Caldari logistics suit gets a 5% bonus to shield extender efficacy per level. that means that at level 5, every 4 shield extenders pretty much adds up to an extra one. Not just that, but the suit has 5 highs, 4 lows, and 3 equipment slots. It also is moderately fast (which can be improved with it's 4 low slots), and it has already high EHP out of the box.
It is currently the most OP suit in the game. This is possibly subject to change when the scrambler rifles come out. Hopefully they do like 150% damage to shields, and 50% to armor or something crazy dramatic like that. Currently the only way to upset the massive amounts of over-tanked caldari suits is to use flux grenades. |

There are now several types of logistics fittings, not just armor-repair guys.
"assault logi" should never be an option. If it is, what the hell is the purpose of an assault suit then? to do what a logi does, only worse? |
