And since no one is going to fix it, may as well use it myself...

Logi's should only be able to fit a sidearm. Boom, problem solved, now they actually have to provide battlefield SUPPORT. Give me a Dev job.

Respecs are fine.....WHEN THEY COST SOMETHING. There has to be some asspain involved in correcting your screw up. Everyone knows whats OP, no matter what line they give you on a forum board. Make respecs a significant investment of AUR=profit.

Players should not be able to swing with the pendulum of balance; they should realise that it's a pendulum and that it will eventually swing back.

Take for instance the LASER rifle - some people specced into it for Uprising thinking it would be as OP as it was in Chromosome; they've probably all now respecced into something else because it's awful in Uprising but come 1.2 or 1.3 or whenever everything gets rebalanced, it will probably get a buff again and be usable once more.

Then you're fixing one problem by creating another - fix the right problem and create more content (things to do) and people won't get bored.

Yes people, lets make it so that combat medics can't defend themselves in a fire fight

I'm sure that'll definitly encourage them to rezz your ass

My squad was important to my success today. I kept them well supplied and repped using nanohive OPness. We were able to put ourselves in positions that would have normally been impossible simply because we WOULD NOT DIE. Me and one other logi friend two man armied an entire letter BY OURSELVS, we killed (without exaggeration) over 15 people, normally with three people shooting at us at any given time. They just couldn't kill us because we had such amazing reppage...... and the one time my friend did die, I revived him back to full health instantly using my proto stabber. ;) nothing like having a hard fought fight in the middle of an enemy spawn ring.

PS: a good logi is able to fight people while simultaneously performing his logistics role. Fortunately my logistics role is fulfilled as soon as we choose an area to set up shop, and all I need to do from there on is hold down the fort!

Easy, give the assault suit a damage bonus *boom* assaults are now the better slayer class

Logis aren't meant to be only support, they're supposed to be versatile at the cost of base stats and a sidearm slot.

Show me a killer bee whining, cause I have yet to see a "logis are UP thread"

Listen to yourself, you're bitching about someone slaying... in a FPS. What, should all logis be limited to using pistols and ill will because of fexible fitting options at the cost of base stats (less HP than a scout) and a secondary weapon just because a good player can get some kills with the suit. Also, let me reiterate what I've said for the past few months, how in the blue **** are ALL the logis OP? Describe each one individually, starting with the Gallente, Minmatar, Amarr, and then finish with the Caldari. Here, I'll even do the legwork for you with a spreadsheet comparison between logis and assaults.

Locking down areas better than heavies... with their equipment? You gotta explain this in detail.

(I wish I could drop a supply depot on this thread so Chicago could come and see your explanation too.)

Why do ppl always forget the logi armor repair.. That like another slot ontop of the two extra the logi has compared to assault...

AR using logi wearing slayors.

Or you we can focus on making the assaults better by showing the devs that their designed purpose for the suit isn't in line with our practical use and make them better through different bonuses.

You want a heavy scout? go for it, you want a speed tanked heavy? DO IT. If I want a logi that can hold its own in a fight..... then why can't I do it?

How are we ever supposed to compete with assaults

Changing to only sidearm would not break a logis offensive capabilities, as a matter of fact, they could still slay. What it would do is discourage assault players from choosing it as their suit.

The Logistics bonus I suggested is a reduction in fitting costs for equipment modules. I have heard it is difficult for Logis to fit all proto equipment, while maintaining high defensive capabilities. So that would solve the problem and encourage Logis to be more of a supportive role.

And finally.... its not like being a healer in an MMO.... Its like being a combat medic. My logi duties is just as important as my kill the guy shooting at me duties. Making it so logi's can get pubstomped in a 1 v 1 is stupid, we should have at-least the ability, to compete with an assault player. Ill admit that certain suits now need a balance, but ill never admit that Logi's as a whole are OP, because that simply isn't the case. I mean, I don't remember the last minmatar logi, or amarr logi Ive seen..... and theres a reason for that right? lol

Finally! He sees the light!

for the record I dislike Fiend's suggestion of dual wielding

(Puts a Core Flaylock in each hand)

Where's your god now?

You want logis to be confined to sidearms and you want to nerf the Flaylock? How about you just turn the logi animation to a backwards crawl while presenting their supple cheeks...

DPS IS NOT THE ISSUE. LOGI TANK IS.

and I just don't think I should be forced out of my playstyle, because you think your playstyle is the only one a logistics suit should cover...... go figure huh?

Proto nanocircuitry lets me use proto needles, and hives. So I run the proto triage nanohive, proto gauged nanohive, proto needle, and standard drop uplink. This makes me a utility player for me squad because im a mobile CRU, I can Rep them for close to 100 hp/ second, I can give them crazy amounts of ammo, AND I can pick them up if they die to full health (which is a heavies dream by the way). My equipment upped my squads entire survivability by a considerable amount yesterday, soley because I was keeping us alive. The whole "slaying" thing comes after I set up shop for my squad.

What? I fit all of that on to my suit bro, the only time I "swith suits" is when im restocking my nanohives and dropuplinks..... I have two fittings in game right now, lol I can even give you the names to them

The shield recharger wont do crap if im already dead, Shield ext > Shield Recharger.

You lost me there. English is not my native language so pls elaborate.
