What is wrong with you Do you hate logis or something?

Its pretty well understood that logi suits with stacked HP have ridiculous combat survivability, damage, and utility. Most notably the proto caldari logi with heavy-suit level EHP, decent armor, and Duvolle AR. To address this issue of logis not logibroing and generally being better than assault at assaulting, I propose a change in the logi weapon slot. Logis would get a single sidearm slot and NO light weapon. OFC, everyone will just spec into proto SMGs to much the same effect, but I think it would fix much of what is wrong.

I figure someone's had this idea already. Thoughts?

I personally agree with you that logi having only a Sidearm would bring them more in line with a Support role.

However, many others have cried bloody murder every time it gets brought up.

They're intended for Support, not Assault, they should have only secondary combat viability.

This mentally that the Logi suit is just meant to stand there and rep people is the problem. If that was the case, CCP would have never created the Amarr suit. Logibro were clearly meant to be a utility unit, not a healing slave. I haven't seen a single reason yet to nerf the Logibro to Sidearms other than "Calogi is OP", which has nothing to do with the rest of the Logi suits.

I have NEVER stated that the Logi is only meant to stand there and rep people. I wholeheartedly agree that that idea is utter garbage.

However, the belief that Logis need to be able to be some kind of "Rambo the Repper" is counter to the entire idea of the Logi IMHO. They need to be able to Support their squad/team though the strategic application of Equipment. I personally enjoy being more of a Ninja-Logi (no, I will not elaborate) than the Combat Medic there with my Heavy on a Reps Leash (I disagree with your healing slave statement, if anything the Heavy is the Logis DPS slave).

Either way, it isn't like Sidearms aren't intended to do the same thing as Light and Heavy Weapons (which is to say that they are all designed as murder tools). Focusing fire with squadmates/teammates is another method of Support. Sidearms are well more than sufficient for such a task.

Yeah, it's a bad idea.

The idea that somehow, Logi's should be nerfed because Assaults are mad is ludicrous.

Logis have guns. They should be able to use them.

Flux the damn caldaris if you can't out shoot them.

I swear, most of the people that post on these forums from an assault point of view have no sense of how to counter a tactic.

However, many others have cried bloody murder every time it gets brought up.

Proven right, didn't take long for people to start with the "ZOMG!!!! I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH JUST A SIDEARM!!"

Personally, w/e, I am done arguing about it.

However, I will continue to hold my belief that Sidearm Only Logis are viable, just too many scrub logis that think they're Little Brother Assault.

You should be done arguing about it. It's not a good suggestion.

They aren't Little Brother Assault. They are viable as Assault. Working as intended. Please go cry elsewhere.

The first two sentences of your post are pure opinion and you present them as fact.

Fact: I made a convert while I was gone.

They shouldn't be viable as Assault, they should be Support. I do not believe that is working as intended, otherwise why would CCP have given us both an Assault and a Logi? Both of them existing as roles within the same frame != mean that they should be wholly interchangeable. If you think that it does, then pass me some of what you're smoking cause you're either high or stupid (giving you the benefit of the doubt).

I'm not the one crying here. The guys who're stating definitively that they lose all Support viability are the ones crying here and look at you just bandwagoning on their sacks.

Your ignorance, is it bliss? In all combat, no matter if your a medic, engineer, truck driver, etc, your first and foremost job when you are in combat is to kill your enemy. In the military, no matter what job you do, you will be proficient with the assault rifle. Some jobs do require you to also to use other weapons, like pistols, but that is just an extra requirement on top of knowing the AR. Even a combat mission in the heat of battle is to kill everything he sees first, save lives second. He saves more lives by killing, than to become a causality himself just rushing in. You cannot argue to me that it makes even some scrap of sense, in real life or in game, as I have 15 years real experience in combat zones and probally 20 years of fps experience.
