this is not how it goes in dust however since ppl can solo heavies easily...

and i am one of those player who has killed a heavy with one clip from an mlt ar...

so yeah they r under powered...and need a buff to combat these proto nubs...they r meant to tank bullets and shrug it off that is their true role..

so lets buff them to where they can do that effectively...

Are you for real? Wanting to buff a weapon/suit that can effectively take on most of a squad in the right situation.

So.. what are you going to do IF CCP listen to this ridiculous request, buff the suit, it becomes the newest FOTM due to its obviously ridiculously overpowered abilities, and then slam it with the nerf hammer after half the community ragequits?

Serious question. Think this through very carefully.

oh you mean how the AR is now?
(note: a milita AR does base 425 dps, with the 10% buff all weapons got its true damage is 467. with 3 complex damage mods that quickly rises to 670 dps . now, think about a duvoule AR, with the basic 10%, 15% proficiency, and 2 complex mods it does 770-800 damage. with the 3rd mod it reachs damn near 900 dps.)

A milita AR with the right gear con tanke out most of a squad up close and farther away. A duvoule can take out most of a squad in less than 4 seconds (with 2-3 damage mods the dps is 770-900, this can take out a heavy in 1.02 seconds and a scout in... dayum! in miliseconds {milita Ar verses fully decked out scout with 300+ ehp killed in .7seconds of milita AR fire})

So basically you want everyone else to use more tactics, while the heavy itself requires less tactics? No such thing as a good heavy who uses no tactic Hear hear! A heavy who doesn't use tactics is just a big, slow moving target. Pro-tip: Pretend your heavy has agoraphobia. They don't do well in open spaces.

I can't recall the name It's pretty fun to run though, especially on the maps that have the urban objectives because I just run laps protecting any objectives inside the walls.

We're the hot butter, trying to destroy the knife(AR's) but they stay far enough away that the HMG is useless and they can kill us while we maybe get one Forge blast out.

I like playing as a heavy but as much as I feel like a threat to infantry, I feel like even more of a threat to vehicles. It's almost feels like we should be able to take some punishment because we can dish it out, but when I'm getting shot at I can't out maneuver (turning or running(and even behind cover)) so I end up standing there shooting hoping that I can take someone with me. Granted there are weapons that may have a diffcult time killing us because we can take some damage (sniper rifles come to mind), we should be able to tank most damage, at least armor wise because shields seem to be more of a skill/equipment dependent type of protection.

Like, people should be avoiding CQC with heavies just because of our "tankability" unless they're sure we're stupid heavies. They should be engaging us outside of the HMG's effective range (exceptions would be SG or NK ninjas, they have to get right up on us or risk being dissolved in a wall of bullets) or spamming explosions hard (which it turns out most people do anyway) to get us because we even have the most melee damage (unless you're stacking Myofibril stimulants(that guy was boss)) Basically, at this point, as a fully ADV heavy I can get taken out by a militia assault rifle because they can move faster than I turn. Also, why do smaller suits have more slots for modules? One would think that because the Heavy suit is bigger it should have more module slots, especially with the absence of equipment slots. (stacking mods already makes logi shield tankers pretty hard to kill what with their regenerative capabilities)

But yeah, the FG should OHK on a direct hit on any one. The Plasma Cannon should put even proto heavys into the red if they get a direct hit(if they're not stacking"lol" mods) , that way the PC'er could just finish it off with their side arm.

Does splash damage happen if it's a direct hit? Like if a gun had 1800 direct and 200 splash the total damage would be 2000?
