I'm waiting on a respec for this character. I have built 2 alts. One is an assault suit caldari and a heavy.

I am really trying to decide what to make this one as I cannot STAND the light suits / scouts that I spec'd into. Among other stupid "I have no idea what I'm doing" SP purchases.

I have since learned a lot about the game. Get invited into other corps chats to play all kinds of games and have found ways to be useful in different situations despite my bad use of SP on this character.



That said. I have been reading a lot of the class specific tutorials to learn more. If you have a year on Dust. And have something to specifically discuss like Assault suits.

I want to hear it.

Especially if it's an actual noobie guide to a starter assault suit and how to be viable as soon as you possibly can.



Maybe some suit topics. Granted these are usually covered in other guides. Maybe something in regards to; or very specific to - an assault suit. Tie in things pertinent to the medium suits. Modules that are important. Things you need right off the bat, and thing that can wait. The medium suits are very versatile and the assault tier 1 suit comes with a lot of CPU / PG space that allow you to double into logi type gameplay in the beginning while you are just getting started if you are getting your butt kicked.

Telling people not to be "stupid" is one thing. Telling people exactly how NOT to be stupid is another thing entirely. I would prefer someone with a year of experience to do the latter.

Some of us COD guys have played Killzone, and other objective type games and enjoy them too. But I can drop into a KZ match, pick a class and fully understand my "job" on the battlefield. How I rank up, and how I unlock class specific bonuses to make me more effective. It is VERY straight forward. Dust is NOT.

And while I have probably somewhere around a 100+ matches under my belt at this point if not more. I am still uncertain exactly the assault class is "doing" aside from shooting people. Snipers snipe, logi's heal and resup, heavies tank and otherwise poop on people.

As an assault class in an ASSAULT SUIT. Should I be spec'ing into a gun as far as I can and adding damage modifiers? Am I just a "shooter"? And there's nothing wrong with that. I have no problem running point and being "the shooter". I do it ALL the TIME in other games because I'm good at shooting people in their dumb little faces.

Should I be doubling into A/V duties?

This is the stuff as a veteran you need to put out there. So if you know it. Let's hear it.




I spec'd right into the tier one assault suit. Popped into an assault rifle and then worked on shield and armor extenders. Got into grenades a little then I ran out of SP. And that alt is pretty solid to start with. She can use a repair tool, nano hives, or uplinks. And still fight her way into a zone to capture an objective. She's not very special at anything. But can use anything well enough to help in any situation a little.

That's all I can contribute.
