I'm where I want to be with Forge Guns now. Time to take the steep approach to Logidom.
First up is actually getting the suit. Minmatar for me, the speed and utility is an enticement. Gonna be ages 'til ADV suit though. If I did rush to it would be missing the equipment. Hell, don't even have Extenders skilled up yet, that one's gonna have to wait a couple months. At least Electronics, Engineering, Biotics and Shield+Armour are all in a good place.
Thanks for this thread. Learning that Active Scanners are currently working properly is brilliant, battlefield intelligence is about the deadliest weapon you can have. Seems like an instantly useful piece of kit even in the STD range.
Ah, can't really complain about being behind. I made my choice with FGs and I love the things. I only wish the Amarr wasn't so bad as my other love affair is with the Scrambler Pistol. Losing slots and equipment is too much just to accomodate that, especially as the sidearm benefit only manifests at PRO. |

And being my armor very low should I work on the core armor skill since I don't wanna go more than ADV for my platings? I have a quite solid ADV build for weapons and equipment and I want to improve my survivability on the battlefield
Extenders to V is a high priority. Jumps from 33 to 65 extra shields per extender, gets a lot of mileage from the CalLogi racial.
Plates currently aren't really worth it. Slows down your movement and turn speed, compromising evasion, mobility and aim. If you're worried about surviving a fluxing the low-slot Regulator module coupled with a Recharger in high would probably help more. Both at the Enh level, preferably. Will make your shield begin regeneration sooner and at an accelerated rate. With their insane base recovery being on par with a scout suit you'll almost be recharging under fire.
I don't remember exact figures but if Enh Regulator and Recharger both give 25% bonuses you'll be recovering 25 shields/sec after a 3s delay. 4.5s if shields were depleted. It begins the recharge countdown from the first moment you get hit and doesn't reset on subsequent hits. It's a big difference, also a lesser tax on PG than another Com-Extender would be.
At least getting Shield Upgrade to 3 is recommended, before it starts getting too expensive. Increasing your ability to stay on your feet is always good. |
