So another logi thread from a logi.......
This is about switching racial bonuses to suit roles, not nerf or buff anything.
The standard logi bonus 5HP/S at proto is good, and the reasoning behind it is understandable, but I think it should be the Gallente bonus, and the Gallente bonus should be the Role bonus for every race.
The improved efficiency for all logi equipment would encourage more equipment usage.
The Gallente logi technically wouldn't change anything, but I think it's one of the few suits that works well in its role. Changing the racial bonus to account for armor speed reduction could put it on a good level with the others.
Gallente racial bonus: 10% reduction in armor speed penalty per level.
The Amarr logi already has a boost to rep efficiency, and with higher base armor it loses the passive rep, but gains help fitting equipment despite it's lower PG/CPU.
The Minmitar logi would trade the passive reps for the saved PG/CPU on equipment.
The Caldari logi would still have many of the same problems, but it would have some more insentive to run with equipment instead of other modules. The Caldari racial bonus is still a bit of a problem but I don't think it is necessary to nerf.
The new setup would force those without the passive rep from the original bonus to either
A. Carry around armor repair module (which Amarr should already be doing)
B. Carry triage nanohives, which is easier with the bonus.
C. Work as a team with multiple people who can rep
B and C requires there to be a lull in the fighting in order to be effective, or at least require someone the stop firing for a second.
This will take away a bonus usable by combat just as much as support, replace it with a blanket support oriented bonus.
A logi is supposed to be versatile, and it is, but the next step would be improving the racial bonuses for the assaults to make it more lucrative.
I don't expect all 4 races to ever be on equal footing in a certain role, but having each role still be viable for each playstyle is really important for gameplay. |

Switching the innate repair bonus to a gallente specific one and moving the equipment fittings bonus to all logi seems reasonable enough, although I can't decide if this would be a buff or a nerf to the caldari proto logi.
Yeah, I agree, the passive rep wasn't the biggest draw to the caldari logi anyway, I think they need another racial bonus, I just can't think of one that would be fair. I run Gallente logi, and I'll always have a slight biased against Caldari, so I want to be as fair as possible. |
