as you can see the opinion from a protobear constantly dying to militia dudes is not worth much might aswell remove all suits and have the same suit and weapon for everyone.

Because the caldari logistics is not the only problem, its all four of them being > assaults.

I feel awesome because Iron Wolf Saber is butthurt because he gets stomped by yellow awesomeness.

Anyway:
first of all, logis are forced to fit a weapon because they also need to be able to defend themself especially because they are shiny yellow easy to see and also slower, have less stamina and most importantly have significantly less STRAFE speed (and there is not module to increase strafe speed). they should not be penalized for having to fit a weapon with all the other combat related drawbacks in stats.

Second, in real squad gameplay (not regular pubstomp) logis need to be fast enough to keep up with the assaults and the flow of the battle and also be durable enough to not get picked out and killed, thus you need slots. A logi is useless when he arrives after the combat has ended already and then just dies like everyone else.

Third, only the tanking capability of some logis is the problem. The amarr logi is actually weak, it has less PG/CPU then the racial assault brother, has 2 slots less than every other logi and does not get the the major benefit of the amarr logi before proto level (the sidearm slot). The amarr logi actually needs a buff in PG/CPU and the sidearm should be available earlier (amarr is the laser race, laser is useless up close thus they need a sidearm, let them carry one) and all other suits need to be slightly brought down in terms of tanking after fitting all modules.

Another problem is the bonus on the assault suits making the assaults only slightly better than the regular medium frame. This and the fact that the logi suits bonus is usuall better adds together and creates a gap but this does not mean that the logis are OP, the assaults are just too weak while logis are slightly too good. All that has to be done is fix the tanking capabilities of some logis (by chaning suit bonus and slots), bring the amarr logi up to be on par with the rest and give the assaults proper suit bonus and slight boost to EHP.

this post right here needs to be stickied for the slow to comprehend. Logis dont need high and low slots to do their jobs. they need equipment. large amount of slots just makes them a an anomaly that can carry equipment and be the best assault class simultaneously.

the 'buff assaults' debate fails hard. assaults are fine. the problem is that the logi suits are better than their assault counterparts. its also not just the caldari so stop saying it. the gallente will have the same problem when they add armor mods that dont affect movement.

no amount of QQ threads will change the fact that anyone who can read knows to pick a bumblebee suit and a tactical AR if they want to do well. CCP will address it, you dont have to like it.
