I run the Caldari Assault C-1 suit with a GEK Assautl Rifle, Toxin Submachine Gun, and Packed AV grenades. I have 2 enhanced shield extenders, armor rep, and armor plates. I have about 365 HP in shields, and 212 HP in armor. I routinely 1v1 Assautl suits, and find them to be underpowered in these engagements compared to the beta builds of the game.

Just an observation that Prototype are not overpowered.

Oh and by the way, they are the highest tier suit out there - they are designed to be "beastly", if you will. That is why it costs 100k+ per fully fitted suit.

But, were they proto suits? You never said anything about the suits' meta lvl. And you said assault suits, correct? Did you mean the basic frames, or actual assaults, or logis? And if assaults or logis, what meta lvl were they? I've heard anything under proto is completely useless. And the assault suits aren't much better than the basic frames.

There are a couple of things that you could do to help yourself.
You could downgrade to a GLU-5 TAR - this reduces the isk cost very significantly, at the cost of 6 bullets in the clip. The damage reduction genuinely isn't noticeable.
You could adjust your tactics. If you're going toe to toe with a protosuit, then perhaps you should change your tactics. If that toe to toe situation changes to you coming up behind them, you should be able to drop them relatively easily. Just got to make sure your shots land.

He is trying to tell you to forget your stats and wear the militia fits with pride. You are gonna get your butt kicked, but you need to choose between epeen stats and money.

So, I am a decent player with about 4 mil sp. My best fit is an advanced med frame with a duvolle tac ar, three complex shield extenders, and a standard locus grenade. Unfortunately, it cannot stand up to the proto logis and such, and coupled with my pretty high death rate, my inability to play much, and my relatively small isk payout with the respec, I'm losing money fast.

I've tried using militia gear, but with it's current state and the abundance of proto bears, it just isn't a viable option. Something has to be done.

If you can't stand up to that using a D-TAR, you need to rethink a few things.

Hey Reg - why are you displeased?

Exactly!! The proto users aren't that powerful, in fact most of them are extremely overconfident and think they are impossible to defeat, it just takes some thought and tactics to take them out (I've seen some "top-notch" beta gunners who are in the top 50 go negative and/or have multiple deaths, just yesterday one of "best gunners" in the game had 5 deaths, no one is invincible).

Hey Reg, I assume you had the problem described here?

Hi OP,

You did not mention if you were running solo. I am not referring to whether you are part of a squad but rather if you are finding yourself isolated from support. I squad could help with this, depending on the members, as they should be more willing to run support if you are the spearhead of the squads attack.

If you are joining random squads who instantly disperse on spawning then I would suggest staying with the largest group of blues you can find.

I have found my experiences with squads, as part of a player corp, have varied a lot depending on the members but I generally do better as part of a squad rather than running solo so long as the individual players remember that they are part of a squad.

Finally get those passive skills to max if you can as you will be able to run cheap militia and STD and still be fairly effective which will help support the more expensive fits, particularly when you get to proto suits.
