Tac ar is problematic, sure. Overpowered? I believe so. But the problem with shield tanking is that armor tanking (armor in generable) isn't viable. Dust seems to have the "rock, paper, scissors" thing going on but only a quarter of the stuff we need is in.

Missing so many racial varients it's not even funny, they talked about a lot of different armor mods that will probably not show up for another year, weapons are bland and lack variety in effect & functionality....the list goes on.

That's also part of the reason tac ar is popular. Good zoom on top of being poorly balanced. We need the rest of the races weapons and a weapon balance team that isn't incompetent. Would've been fine by me if scram rifle was op; gallente firearms are just boring nowadays. Change in pace would've been great.


God I want to get my hands on Caldari gear.....

What about dropsuit armor tanking isn't viable? The speed reduction is well worth it and you get more defense then other suits except for the caldari logi. Plus anyone who thinks logis should only have a sidearm is plain stupid.

except armor doesn't come back if you're trying to go for more of it. shields regen pretty damn fast on their own.
and in an FPS being able to go from one battle to the next, being at totally full for each engagement, is critical.

if armor reppers were high slots and repaired more armor it might be worthwhile, since they would still repair slow but ALSO have lots of buffer
and of course the racial suits would give bonuses to the appropriate stuff

Logistic suits should be regulated to defensive weapons i.e. sidearms.
HMG is still way too short range for what it is.
Scrambler rifles should match the TAR in range with different optimals.
Mass drivers need a minimum travel distance before the rounds become explosive, say 25 meters.
All single fire weapons should have an overheat, unless it is a pure 21st century projectile weapon, so minmatar guns.
Headshots should not provide more damage as I am thinking that the same armor that is on your body is on your head.
The 10% damage boost should be rescinded on assault rifles
All +/- damage modifiers should be boosted to 130%/60%.
All sidearms need a slight range boost.
Missile tracking/accuracy needs fixed.
Armor needs a different negative than speed reduction.

More as I think of them.

I wish there was a downvote option on this forum

Fair argument but I make sure to always play with other logis for reps. Though the logi suits only get up to 5 hp/s regen without mods, it is still doable. Not having to worry about flux grenades and SRs is A very nice thing.

Why donvote when you can hunt him down and pelt him with grenade rounds. Part of the reason why I use my MD is because it's not an AR and it pisses AR users off to no end. They can nerf the thing down to requiring a direct hit, 1 shot in the clip and a 5 minute reload time and I'll still use it because it's not an AR.

Wrrrrr~ click!

"Come nerf me bro!"

That's what it comes down to. If you're using armor you either need to also slot an armor rep mod or have a smart logi hump your backside all match. A single armor mod has a downside whereas shield mods don't and naturally recover quickly. See the problem?

LOL - if you want that then let the rounds have 6-8 m blast area and no dramatic fall off splash damage
