Assault suits are essentially a basic suits with indirect offensive bonuses and a bonus to shield recharge rate.
Logistic suits have less HP than basic suits and normally give up their sidearm slot for more high/low slots, PG, CPU, and equipment. They get bonuses for armor repair and "tanking".
Notice that the logistic suit gets no offensive bonus and has one less weapon to shoot things with? It is not that logistics are better at killing things than assaults but rather that logistics have the POTENTIAL to "tank" better than assaults.
A common misconception about the logistic suit is that is should ONLY provide support. You can fit your logistic suit however you damn well please. Want a sniper logistic? You can do it. Want an AV logistic? You can do that. Where this notion that logistic fits should be crap at killing things and only kiss our boo-boos is beyond my comprehension. |

As an assault, I can't agree to the bonus you would give me because I would drop people that much quicker than I already do. I feel it would be unfair to the other players at the barrel end of my rifle.
Also please define these roles that CCP intended to chain us down with? And if you say that assault's role is to kill or "slayer", I will hurl kittens in your direction. And you wouldn't want me to do that right? Think of the poor kittens. |

The main reason to go assault is swarm launchers and other weapons that leave you open without a sidearm. A logi with a SL is helpless vs. infantry. So are snipers, plasma cannons(lol), and laser rifles to a lesser degree.
However the 70%+ of the games population that use ARs and scram rifles (What I refer to as the AR toting masses) have no good reason to go assault over logi.
If the primary reason for using an assault suit is the side arm, why not use the basic suit instead? The basic suit is less SP intensive than the other 2 medium frame variants. Because I see many assault fits, I have to disagree that there is no good reason to pick the assault variant over the logistic variant. Personally for me, it was the Amarr assault's heat reduction bonus that made me choose it over the logistic suit.
+1 for sparing the kittens |
