I"ve found logi much more challenging to play this build than any of the previous going back to closed beta. You really have to think in terms of what proto gear to run and then make the upgrades beyond Nanotech lvl 5 to then carry it. This to me, makes sense.
No player should be able to skill Lvl 5 suit, lvl 5 AR, lvl 5 shield and then just run everything. Vehicles, suits, electronics in general hell even just a computer/cellphone is all about battery power and juice. If you can't appropriately and efficiently manage your power supply, things turn into bricks. Why should a future battle suit be any different?
Yes, you might have to skill into CPU/PG upgrades to run that shiny new piece of equipment, your suit shouldn't just be able to magically fit everything. This forces you to think, do I want more shields or a little less and the ability to sprint faster? Do I need a proto injector AND repper or should I take an basic needle and proto repper to bring back full health... or perhaps the reverse, raise with more HP then top off with a basic repper?
I don't see a logi "god suit" running around. If anything I see folks using the logi suit in place of an assault to run Chromosome style fits in the hopes of retaining past glory. Mistake in my opinion. ONce folks figure out how to make an effecient killer again, these suits will fail and the QQ sessions will begin again.
Try something different, don't just race to the proto gear thinking it's the best, because sometimes it isn't.
I've taken to running plates on a Sever suit, why? Because on a whim I tried the militia plates and found the survivability vs minimal speed decrease was worth it. So, toss in for lvl 1, try the basics.. working well. Upgrade to lvl 3, try the advanced... can't run them and other things, so back to the basic plates for now.
Instead of looking for immediate PG/CPU boosts, guess what I did... improved the efficiency of my weapon and TADA: proto nanohives now run without the CPU upgrade. Sometimes going to lvl 5 isn't about using the expensive gear but about making the lower level more efficient. You have to determine where the extra 2-5 hp/dmg/heals/whatever goes by sacrificing something else, which is how it should be.
I say keep things the same for now, see how it plays out then maybe introduce a new suit to replace an older one. Mark it as an upgrade and keep it there until those suits go bye-bye or have a sell back but go here... Caldari Medium Assault, the 3051 model is out, 3050 is now like a Motorola Startak. You can use it and you love it, but at some point, you trade it in for an Android or iPhone to play better games than Snake. |
