So as we all know, there's been a massive spike of Caldari Logistics suit fitted with several shield extenders and the Tactical Assault Rifle have been tearing things up on the battlefield. In case if you haven't seen what I'm talking about here's an example of the fitting in action.
As you can clearly see, the Caldari suit's racial bonuses paired with the flexibility of the CaLogi suit has given birth to a fitting much tankier than an assault of any class, second only to the heavy in sustained combat longevity. What we have here is the current fit of the month (FotM for short) and the first step towards a cyclic meta game.
Though efficient, this "killer bee" fitting has already stung most of us, but there is hope coming in a few hours when server downtime ends. I give you, the scrambler rifle, an Amaar EM weapon specifically designed to melt shields. Once this new asset takes the field, I strongly believe that we'll be seeing less and less of the "killer bee" fittings in the passing days until the only thing that it stings is a downed ally with a nanite injector, the only thing it buzzes will be its repair tool, and the only thing it pollinates is ammunition reserves with a nanohive. Natural selection shall run its course and the killer bee shall go extinct. Now to the point at hand.
With new weapons added in for Dust 514's release, the cyclic meta game must continue. A new FotM must take the place of the "killer bee." What I propose is that we discuss fitting ideas for what the new fitting/weapon shall become the new dominant force to be reckoned with... until its effective counter topples it from its throne of course. So what will it be? Gallente Assault with a Scrambler Rifle/Flaylock combo? Templar with an HMG and flux grenades, or will the tried and true Caldari Assault rise to the occasion again? What do you think? |

Narrows down one range it won't be effective at. The standard deals as much damage as the Freedom Mass Driver last build. |

It's never been #1 at point blank. Shotgun holds that candle... again, the problem is it's extreme damage at all ranges with no shortcomings.
We'll have to wait and see. I don't think we'll have to worry about the TAR much longer anyway, the nerf bat is going to come down. That thing is almost as bad as the Viziam with 4x CDMs and SS proficiency 5. |

The plasma cannon. I have no clue if it will be any good.
It's going to be funny to see all the threads of people QQing for the Flaylock to be nerfed. I'll be QQing for my MD to be buffed though.
Anyway, I'm not sure about the plasma cannon either. It's only got one "charge" from what I've seen and it looks really awkward to aim since it arcs. And this is coming from a MD user since chrome saying something is awkward to use. |

I think FotM will be Amarr assault with the SR and flaylock. The suit will mean that SR can fire more till overheat for the extra hit. Equal shields and armor means no real weaknesses vs SR/flaylock combo. Shield extenders and plates with armor repairer.
Yeah, that's what I've been mulling over for the past couple of days. Out of all the assault suits, I think the Amarr actually has the best bonuses that outshine it's racial logistics. Minmatar is good too once we get the flaylock and tech3 weapons. |

Because people avoid movement penalty like the plague. It also penalizes jump height, turn speed, and I believe fall damage. |

There's a militia version of the SR. Not sure about the Flaylock though.
(Still kind of pissed the standard flaylock out damages the Freedom) |

Seems fitting to me. Again, it looks like its fitting, but it really doesn't. Read the rest of the post and stop making a fool out of yourself. And before you say anything else, 99% of my posts are troll posts, so I'm only joking around.
What can I say? I'm pugnacious by nature... |
