But that's the beauty of Dust, there is no right way to play a class.

But you see, Logis aren't supposed to be able to be better at killing an assault than an assault! It's just wrong!

you're right it is wrong, they should not be better at straight up fighting than the class with ASSAULT as it's name.

Since everyone seems to be whining that Logis aren't being support, and want them nerfed into oblivion, here are some changes to make every other class "specialized."

1) No equipment slots for Heavy, Scout, and Assault. Equipment is meant to support! You guys aren't supposed to support!
2) Heavies can only use Heavy Weapons. They're not assault so why should they get an assault rifle?
3) No Assault weapons for Scouts either. Sniper and Shotguns only.

Anyone else got some more restrictions to make sure people play each class the "correct" way?

Then why are you talking about nerfing other suits?

They're not, only the Caldari logi is actually better in a gun fight.

Because they shouldn't be able to be diverse either! Don't you see, a class doing anything directly outside it's class shouldn't happen in this game!

(in case it isn't clear, this is dripping with sarcasm... I'm trying to show how ridiculous forcing each class into a specialization is.)

I see where you're going, and 2 days ago I would have agreed. But the real problem is that the other suits are crap compared to the logi and the HMG needs some serious love right now. Buff the suits, the HMG give the second SP respec that we need because of bugged and misleading skills so heavies and assaults can go back to their respective classes and problem solved. Well, one problem at least.

I know, but every solution I've seen hinders the entire class. Why? I have no idea...

1. Scouts are meant to SCOUT. That means Active Scanners. That means we need to prevent Logis from fitting Active Scanners, because that's what the Scout does.

2. While you're at it, Logis aren't meant to be fighting, they're meant for SUPPORT. Take away ALL the weapon slots.

3. What? NO. Scouts shouldn't be using Shotguns, they're designed for ASSAULTING enemies in close quarters. Sniper Rifle only.

More seriously, no.

Assault players don't understand logic or balance.

All they have to do is change the bonus for the Caldari suit, or change the bonus for the assault class. Personally I would go with 2% damage per level for assaults.

but no, they have to nerf everything

Oh you're right! I forgot that shotguns are assault weapons. Well that only leaves sniping for scouts so they can relay info back to the team!

And fine, Scouts can only equip active scanners! But nothing else and Heavy and Assault both get no equipment.

Deal?

Someone suggested swap the Caldari assault and Logi bonus. Why does assault get a nanohive bonus to begin with? That would be a perfect bonus to a Logi player!

They have a shield recharge bonus... not nano-hive

Nothing is OP.

CCP is offering an optional respec next week sometime, so part of that problem is fixed. I do think that HMGs need a bit more buff. I used to fear them at short to mid range. That should always be the case.

No, no. It's if it kills you, it's OP. If you kill someone with it, it's working just fine!
