First off, this is a great guide. Thank you for writing it and to the others who contributed to it. I have read its several times and I understand all of the information presented. That being said, I am still having a hard time deciding on which Logi suit to pick. I think part of my problem is that all of my in game experience has been in the instant battles with mostly new players. I have created, specced out, and then deleted about 6 different characters to test weapons and builds, but I haven't gone as far a testing the Logi suits cause I don't want to waste that much time. So my instant battle play style has been fairly aggressive, while still trying to fulfill the "resser" role as best as I can in an unorganized PUG.
So, my questions are:
1). What's the best Logi suit for a casual dust player?
2). Can a casual dust player gain entry into an organized Corp and be properly utilized?
3). How much of a difference is there between shield tanking and armor tanking in survivability? (Caldari vs Gallente/Minmatar)
I think the answer to number one is probably Caldari because it seems unorganized groups aren't really going to benefit as much from say, a minmatar Logi, and I will just wind up dying alot and not really being able to take advantage of all of the support utility.
Ideally, I would like to be a full support logi, but if being a casual player is going to relegate me to a life of pick up games, I don't want to be totally gimped. My biggest fear is I pick Gallente or Minmatar and just wind up running around trying to help people that don't understand how I can help them and just spam "redeploy" or run away from me while I'm trying to repair them.
Again, thanks for the guide, and I appreciate advice you guys may have for me. |

Shady and Redbleach, thank you for your responses, it is greatly appreciated.
Just to clarify, in a perfect gaming world I would prefer to be a Logibro. I generally always choose support classes in every MP shooter/MMOs I play. I guess what I was trying to convey in my first post was:
a) I would hands-down choose to go Logibro if I was sure I would be able to fully realize their potential within the confines of the parts of Dust that I have access to as a casual player and,
b) If a Logibro is generally going to be a fruitless/frustrating existence in the absence of a cohesive organized group (assuming I never gain access to one), then I would most likely opt to go Logiassault
However, from what Shady was saying, it sounds like eventually even a casual gamer could get involved in more organized Corporation/squad activities. I do always play with a MIC, but generally have been unlucky in finding others with MICS or who are like-minded and interested in coordinating strategies. I made 2 friends one evening and had some success, but haven't seen them on since.
@Shady, I will probably take you up on your offer tonight and message you in game when I am able to get on (after the wife and kids have gone to sleep).
Even with all this confusion, I am still really loving dust and having a lot of fun. I'm just reaching out in an attempt to ensure I continue have fun and hopefully save myself from making a mistake that will cost me time I generally don't have. I played EVE casually for years and it's no surprise that the Dust community is a supportive and intelligent one. Thank you guys for helping me navigate through my early days in Dust.
And if you have any further insight or advice, it's always appreciated.
p.s. @Chankk: I was cracking up when you were talking about how you drive yourself nuts with your compulsion for figuring out all of the various build/skill combinations and ensuring you had just the right amount of PG and CPU and not 1% more. I can empathize because I generally spend about 5x's researching builds and specs for MMO's and RPG's than I do actually playing the game! |
