Don't know why your complaining, SMG has better hit detection right now anyways

It's just peoples' first reaction to something.

If X needs tweaking (read: balancing), then they demand swift, drastic nerfing be done.

I still want my logi caretakers around

This is the problem, if they take away our light slot, the killer bees are just going to use SMGs and scramblers and nothing gets accomplished. We need another damn respec, the HMG needs a buff, scout, templar and assault suits need better bonuses to be desirable and everyone can go back to their respective class and logi can stop being the FotM. But since CCP is on a nerf spree logis are going to be ****ed and the "OMG nerf X" bull **** will continue on until everyone quits because they're tired of their stuff being nerfed. It's not Dust 514, or AR 514, it's turned into Nerf 514.

Hmm

The problem at the moment is logi are way too tanky.

Willing to become much less tanky and keep the light weapon?

I edited my OP

Basically maybe some of the suits specializations should lose light weapon and keep the tank?

I guess my question would be, why didn't everybody choose a logi suit if they think they are OP? I mean this isn't a weapon that's out of whack. It's an entire class of suits.

The idea is to have survivability in order to provide support.

Logistics shouldn't be able to take over the assault role in my opinion. You want to be tanky? Give up your light weapon and go back to support.

Consider taking High and Low Slots away from Logis and adding a special slot type Medium (like in EVE yes) however medium slot types are like subsystems that improve how the logi's equipment works, how its scanners work, etc. Use the Medium suit slots to edit how the logi is designed to function in combat rather than allow it to tank extreme damage (remember that is what heavies were for)

I invite you to my thread so you can point out how all logi's are OP, let alone taking over the assault class

Is that all you girls can do is complain this is op this is op.Stop complaining and play the game bunch of 80year old women.

Logi has to have tank if everyone is going to run tac ar

What does the light weapon have to do with making it a viable support class? Riddle me that.

this plea falls on deaf ears. CCP is shown only to make HUGE pendulum like swings in balance. everything is either totally UP or so freakishly OP that it basically invalidates the game.(tanks, lasers, dropships, now caldari logis and tac rifles being massively OP)

lasers used to wing you and put a heavy in the grave. now I can simply rush them while tanking minimal damage in my scout suit from about 40 meters out.(poor bastard lost a viziam to some chump with standard knives.)

tanks used to be whoever calls their tank first has already won the game, now they get laughed at by scouts with hacked exo av nades.

dropships, 'nuff said.

Caldari Logi is a better assault than the rest of the assault class put together.

proto tac rifles can instantly drill through a target with little effort, has a better fire rate, range, and a scope. only thing the standard and breach have over it is ammo in clip.
