The heavy should be able to absorb more dmg than now. Since we aren't effectively able to dish dmg out with an HMG, it makes sense that we should be true bullet sponges. I'm all for more damage resistance. It would help compensate for the medium suits that have the capability to amass 1k total shields and armor.
If the heavy is to serve only as a defensive meatshield compared to suits with 1k shield and armor or full dmg mods, CCP, let the heavy be able to absorb massive amounts of dmg to be a true meat shield.
Being able to absorb two magazines of any light or small arms weapon would suffice, even if we have a little slower movement. This might compensate for the HMG's horrible range.

Heavy shoukd take a squad to take doen, but not be a good idea for a whole squad of just heavies? Short of limiting them to sidearms-only that would be impossible, you'd be a moving wall capable of simply steamrolling through anything short of a HAV and making a wall around the objective.
Movement speed is fine as-is, bordering on a bit fast. EHP is also perfectly fine if you have any clue how to fit your suit (even the meta 0 variants have just shy of 1k EHP before skills and mods) and learn to play (this is not Call of Halo, learn to utilize cover and stop standing around in open fields; if you don't, I will happily plink away the two+ mags it takes my sniper rifle to kill you).
The heavy is fine, the PEBCAK. Learn to fit your suit, learn to play Dust, and learn to work as a team instead of flailing about for a solo pwn-machine.
I'm not sure what your first paragraph actually meant. It didn't seem to be relevant to the OP's original post.
With your second paragraph; if moving at a turtle's pace is too fast, then the heavy may very well move too fast. The EHP of 1336k which is the Prototype Sentinal suit capability without passive skills. This would be fine on any heavy if medium suits were not also capable of having 1k EHP which the basic prototype suits are near. The logistics suits are capable of having over 1k ehp Medium suits because they get a lot of high and low slots for def of dmg mods. This means that the sentinel prototype can only absorb approximately 10 more bullets from an assault rifle. This makes the heavy's EHP ineffective when it only takes around 10 more AR bullets to do run out of health.
As for your third paragraph; I'll think you'll find that people have learned to fit their heavy suit and that's why they understand that it is a weak suit in comparison.
By the way, if it takes you more than two mags to kill anyone with a sniper rifle, you should learn to fit your suit, cause damn...
Why did the heavy cross the road? Because he knew Geirskoegul sucks at sniping. Is the heavy too fast for ya keep up with? Are you aiming at heads or the ground behind the heavy? These bullets aren't lock on. You actually have to aim  |
