He's comparing the suits between classes. So he's comparing all of the logi suits to all of the assault suits. I haven't checked stats for minimatar this build, but last build the logi minimatar vk.1 was much better than the proto assault suits. CCP made one change, which was to lower the speed that the min logi suit had, but ignored the extra slots + extra pg/cpu.
I'd rather not have too many nerfs. It'd be much better to give other dropsuits useful racial skills, and also give a large buff to the assault suit. The assault suit should just be plain better than the logi suit. If CCP wants pre-defined roles, and many people here seem to want that too, the logi suit should have to sacrifice the tank and survivability that it has over the assault suit for the opportunity to carry more equipment.
Last build, the logi vk.1 was not used as much as the proto assault suits. This is not because the logi suit was worse, it was because the logi suit was only better than the assault at the prototype level. It took over a month of grinding to unlock the proto suit alone, and players still needed to unlock their weapon skills and modules. Players decided they'd go for assault suit so that they could be better than anyone who went logi, even though the logi suit would have an advantage over them later.
Many players do not have to grind out a proto suit for this build. They had enough SP to hit the prototype level immediately. Players could get the best proto suit from the start.
I had it explained to me by someone else in another thread. He said FPSers rage when something does not go their way, but MMOers go to forums. I thought about it, and MMO is almost always PvE, so if something is killing [i]everyone[/i, it must be hard and powerful, and possibly in need of a nerf.
That's not true in FPS games. FPS games are players vs. players, so just because people are dying to something a lot does not mean that it is OP. I think people saw some the better players running around in Assault suits last build instead of logi, and thought that items like a sidearm matter at the full proto + baloc officer weapon corp battle level or something like that. They even thought that the Exile was better than the basic AR!
I wish this game was balanced around corp battles and not pub games. A number of these problems, like logi suit > assault could be avoided if the Devs checked the differences @ the prototype level. |
