New Logi Code Guide for uprising will be done by the 22nd of May. With my luck CCP will have redone the skill tree by then and I'll just have to rewrite it :) such is life. Here is a piece to help you with your skill progression.
"STAGE 2
Character Building: Basic Skills
Skill Suggestions by priority (opinion), "defense is the best offense"
Keeping yourself Alive, you can't help anyone if you're dead
Your first purchases are going towards your Racial suit, weapon, and armor. Your equipment is fine for a while and will suffice for repping, rezzing, and resupply for the time being. Since advancing to the Logistics level requires maxing out a single race first and then moving into the logistics arena you need to decide your racial suit variant first. Will you go Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, or Minmatar? Each Basic suit type has itGÇÖs own bonuses in regards to slot layout.
Your basic skills that you should focus on in the beginning will always be your passive skills. Skills that work no matter the suit or modules you are using while you try different suits. You should also note that there are certain prerequisites to get some of the skills.
First Skills
Dropsuit Armor Upgrades: +5% dropsuit armor per level GÇô maximize it
Dropsuit Core Upgrades: +1% dropsuit cpu/pg GÇô maximize it
Dropsuit Shield Upgrades: +5% dropsuit shield per level GÇô maximize it
Grenades: lvl1 opens up new equipment
Your Weapon to Advanced level: lvl 3
Choose 1 Logistics skill to Max: Repair Tool Operation or Nano Circuitry, maybe play around with the Active Scanner and Deployable Shield (coming soon), etc. This you will incorporate on your suits until you reach the Logistics level.
STAGE 3
Choose Your Race primary focus
Play every Medium racial variant to get an idea of the types of bonuses you would receive, and their strengths and weaknesses. You will see how you play with each and the future bonuses of the Logi class. It will take almost 2 million (1,865,920) skill points just to max that race to get to the Logistics class and another 63,000 to get just the first level and have extra equipment slots.
Depending on whether you use boosters or not and how much you play that could take a month or more to get there. So, it is a commitment and you will need other skills in climbing to the top. The next few skills should be purchased as you can and while you are saving up for the Logistics level.
Dropsuit Electronics: +5% dropsuit CPU GÇô expensive skill, purchase when fits are lacking
Dropsuit Engineering: +5% dropsuit PG GÇô expensive skill, purchase when fits are lacking
At this point you must choose which direction to go while maximizing your chosen Racial Medium. My suggestion is greater defense, and will be listed next. Why? Because you will need better stuff to go along with your awesome suits. A proto suit with militia gear is still pretty easy to kill. I would suggest either maximizing a few of these or at least getting them to the advanced level.
- Reinforce -
Depending on your Tank style invest in these which give a bonus for a module type and open up new levels of modules to use:
Armor Plating: +2% armor module
Armor Repair Systems: +5% repair module
Shield Extension: +2% shield module
Shield Recharging: +3% recharge module
Choose your weapon and advance a useful trait for it (sharpshooter, reload, capacity, or the weapon class itself). A FPS game is based on killing the other team. Is the distance too great? Getting shot while reloading? Ammo shortage? You know where you are failing the most, take a few levels here to help change that about. You might also try another weapon or get the advanced/proto version of your weapon. Remember, light weapons only.
Max Racial Medium and get Logi lvl 1
At this point you should be beefy enough to handle yourself and help the team. Moving to Max your Racial Suit is a good next move and then on to the Logistics Class. Your secondary skills will increase what you can do for the team, or you can choose to focus on yourself.
Your First Builds if you made it to the Logi level
Your basic builds should reflect the code with your weapon of choice and this basic equipment:
Your first build is 2 perishable lvl. 1 or greater Logi - Drop Suits with the three equipment slots
#1- EQUIPMENT: Nanite Injector, Nanite Resupply (Nano-Hive), Repper (repair tool)
#2- EQUIPMENT: Nanite Injector, Scanner or whatever, Repper (repair tool).
1and 2 (how I roll - find your play style)
Whatever equipment you choose, or what type of builds you use, if you are a dedicated Logi these are the pieces of equipment that you should be carrying around.
I have found that the best High/Low slot combinations are as follows:
High Slots: Shield Extender, Damage Modifier, or another Shield Extender
Low Slots: Armor Repper, Armor, Cardiac Regulator, Shield Regulator, or CPU/PGU mods
During your gameplay you will experiment with whether you are more of a tanking character or one that needs some speed, or even one that does better by just staying off the radar. I prefer tank, and it seems that most effective Logis do.
STAGE 4
Choose an Area to Specialize
- Rezzing, Rally, and Resupply-
Nanites and Repper to lvl 3 to max. GÇô You should have one Logi skill maxed at this point. Get the second to lvl 3. At the logistics level you will be allowed to use more equipment, which means you will need better equipment too. Get some of your Logi skills to at least the advanced level with Nanocircuitry and Repair tool operation.
Advancing to Proto Logi
Logistics Dropsuit: Maxed This requires an ungodly amount of SP, over 3 million. It is not for the faint of heart to attempt..." |
