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?

^^Heavy Suits were never OP. people said sharpe shotter made them OP. but what do you think sharp shooter did to ARs? how much range did they get.

just give heavies WP for suppressing enemies and taking damage
increase resistance when being healed by a logistics don't just increase the heavies ability to act alone

the logistics class is practically made to cover most of the heavies shortcomings

low on health have a logi heal you
you died get revived with 80 percent of your armor
ran out of ammo logi got you covered with nano hives and can give you a slight repair with certain nano hives

also point defense does not mean to stay at one objective it means to stay at one point and fire from that one point use an lav to get to a spot and stay in that spot

also most heavies need to learn to play
i see to many heavies running across open areas
not firing while close to cover
getting tunnel syndrome and only shooting in one direction when you can see 4 red dots on radar coming from other directions

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.

Remember the Type II? Its base eHP was very high (320 shields, 422 armor), and we could bring it up to 1500 with the proper upgrades. It was a bit much. I do think our suits are too weak though, and something should be done about HMGs. I rarely use them now, because they're just not as good as they should be.

the tunnel syndrome is caused by encountering an enemy who is in a smaller suit with more ehp than oneself, and having said target on the verge of death, knowing that if you let up on the bullet hose, the hp will be full in a matter of seconds

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})

in the description it says the heavy suit is supposed to be resistant to small arms fire and small explosives. making the shields and armor take 30% less damage (expect headshots which get the full bonus) would make that phrase true and help further accomplish CCP's vision of the heavy becoming a miniature tank for squad protection.


making the heavy harder to kill and more effective will force players to fight tactically against them using flux grenades, and different weaponry.


the heavy suit w/ hmg in this game takes the place of an lmg in a real squad. it has all the same exact roles, with the bonus of being a bigger gun). every gun in this game as a counterpart in reality but the ones in the game are stronger more volitile versions which their suits allow them to carry to accomplish the same role as it would in a real squad. keep this prospective in mind in your posts thank you.

by suit:
1. the basic heavy should get a base 10% resistance and an increase of 4% resistance per lvl for a max of 30% resistance to small arms fire to shields and armor.

2. the sentinel (and gallente) heavy should get a base 10% resistance and an increase of 5% resistance per lvl for a max of 35% resistance to small arms fire to shields and armor. (in addition to the reload bonus)

3. the caldari heavy should have a base 15% resistance and an increase by 5% resistance to damage to shields per level to a max of 40% resistance to damage taken on shields. (armor only has 15% resistance)

4. the minmintar heavy should havea 15% resistance to damage, with an increase of 5% per lvl for a total of 40% resistance to damage taken to armor. (shields only have 15% resistance) this in addition to the speed bonus minmintars get.

5. the commando should have a base 5% resistance to damage with a 3% increase per lvl to a total of 20% reduced damage to shields and armor.


if you agree put 1+ in your comment

Slow them down more? That's crazy talk bro! Heavies are slow enough trust me.

The medium and light classes can walk backwards faster than heavies can sprint! Making us any slower would only further gimp us as a class!

yeah headshots should remain the same because a skilled player should not be punished for using skill namely getting headshots.. but if someone is spraying and praying they should be punished aka the resistance.

if i as a heavy am standing out in an open field and a sniper headshots me i should be gone depending on my ehp.

JUST AS A SIDE NOTE: EVEN IF THE 30% WAS APPLIED TO HEADSHOTS MOST SNIPERS WOULD STILL KILL IN THE SAME NUMBER OF SHOTS.

only ARs would really be effected. and milita Shotguns. because proto shotguns would still take out a heavy in as few as 3-4 shots if they dnt miss. nova knives will still kill heavies.

basically everything that is a heaives weakness will still kill the heavy. however, the resistance will be more notable with ARs, SMGs, Scrambler rifles, Lasers, plasma canons, MDs, and snipers (without headshots), locus and flux grenades.

HMGs, forguns, all vehicle turrets, and missles etc will do the same damage. the resistance will on apply to small arms. and again shotguns, nova knives and good snipers shouldn't notice the difference.

30% resistance to 1000 = 700. that will still one shot a weakened heavy. but heavies need all the love they can get because we are slow moving targets.

besides people complained when they got killed by flaylocks a Plasma cannon is basically the same thing...lol if it can one shot heavies. still the plasma cannon needs to get a better fix regardless. it should be able to one shot most suits.

if your GOOD and your plasma cannon ggets a direct hit the impact and splash will still 1 shot a heavy. but killing a heavy with a light weapon in 1 shot... beats the point to it being heavy

I agree, if someone is good enough to one shot me with the Plasma Cannon (I have been downed by a PLC twice - in the same match no less - but I was weakened by ARs prior), so be it I have no issue with this in the same way that light and medium suits should have no issue with being one shotted by my forge if I am good enough to land a direct hit (I only play for direct hits)

^^if its a direct hit the 1000 direct hit ddamage and all the splash damage will apply killing my heavy anyway....lol. plus, i am hoping CCP buffs plasma cannons soon. if they do this resistance won't be a problem.

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?
