We simply miss some (or should I say most?) heavy weapons. When more roll out, range and flexibility issue will be fixed. |

As another heavy who play his class since August last year. I believe I'm qualified to say something in this thread. HMG is fine. No need to mess with it. There, I said it. Heavies's arsenal, however, is not.
In order to make a heavy less boring and more useful outside 25% of entire map (which I gotta say, said area can contain up to 3 objectives, quite an important area if you ask me), we simply need more option in our load out. We need variety of tools to deal with various situations. Not the one gun to rule them all. That would just turn HMG into another TAR. The cycle will never stop. The answer to this problem does not lie in messing with HMG, no amount of balancing will fix it. We simply need more content to make us a proper class.
The heavy suit itself is also fine IMHO. Some people speak like an assault can buffer nearly1000 EHP and can still stack 4 dmg mods at the same time. They can't. We can also stack 1500+ HP if we want to. 50% more HP is quite reasonable if you ask me. I know it's not practical at the moment. Not with armor plates. And not with Amarr suit. Again, we need more content. More suits.
Also, the advantage heavy suit give us is not merely a larger HP pool. It's an ability to wield HEAVY WEAPON. This should be the highlight of this suit. Regrettably, We only have two of them and both are situational weapon. Give an assault only shotgun and swarm launcher, and they will be as broken as heavies are now (Playable but situational). Content, content, more content please.
TL;DR : HMG is fine. Heavy is fine. Dust514 is not. |
