One-shot the logi with a Forge Gun, balance achieved?

Said it before and Ill say it again, the only nerf logistics need is replacing the light weapon slot with a sidearm slot
Do that and youll see people migrate away from it so they can actually use their favorite weapons

Way back in the Replication build, tears of Waaaaah! came over those who faced off with a heavy in their loludied 10 meter range area.

Back then it seemed justifiable that they had no equipment slot and very limited High/Low slots. But we still thought of many ways to further balance the heavy/HMG considering the HMG dominance in close quarters. - Lower turn speed, lower damage, higher dispersion, less health, faster heatbuild-up. All of these ideas were possible fixes for the perceived dominance of the heavy suit.

Then, in E3 built we found that they had implemented EVERY SINGLE ONE of those debuffs. Since then they have only piled those debuffs higher and higher and the heavy falls farther and farther behind until it is now one of the single most boring classes to play in all of vidyagaeming..

Wow didn't even know there was a republican build. Well explains a lot I started in the final days of chromosome.

There was even a build before that, but SP was hard to come by and there was no HMG - only a forge gun. The heavy suit required Drop suit level 5 and it was a 10x skill, so no one had one.

That, or use the Scrambler Rifle... it drops shields in one single shot.

Lol with a charge in the head, they have something like 676 shield give or take so yeah I can see it.

It does... I know because i already done it. A power shot with two short burst, completely drops the shields of any Class, Proto or not, then you can rip their armor with a SMG.

But that was the thought behind original post, heavies lose a lot for the HMG and SCR f**** s*** up hard, it's a great gun I like it.

Heavies could use a little more ehp, cal logies could use a little less.

I don't think there's much more that needs to be said here.

True true, think the Amarr logi might need some love too

I know it's just a hypothetical, but no one in their right minds would stack that many plates.

Speaking of which, armor tanking in general needs work.

This is where having a sidearm is important -- creates a lot of versatility in being able to have weapons that cater to certain types of tanking.

The scrampler + smg or scrambler + flaylock combo is beginning to emerge as a strong combo.

damage per clip> dps

Also the caldari logi is one flux away from the weakest suit in the game, LEARN HOW TO PLAY, stop making excuses as to why your bad...

Plenty of top players have chosen other suits besides the caldari logi, some imps respec'd out of it because the lack of side arm makes it tough, especially if you want to snipe or run with a weapon with low ammo.

Well if that's all that mattered the proto forge gun would out class all weapons with its 2800 Dmg +277splash x 4. But then how many players do you see using breach forge guns for infantry because it has highest damage per clip?
