The intention is for people to use that CPU and PG on equipment to play a support role. Instead its used on shield and armor boosts to become a tank. Having enough slots to just barely match an assault suit's base stats =/= more slots And that's why the conversations about logi in this build have been about how they're barely able to stand up to assault players. No, it's usually something about their none-extistant higher EHP, that only cal-logis actually have. There's also always a lot of people claiming all suits are OP, but never actually explaing how or why. Kind of like you, you just throw out random stats that are better than the assaults, and say "that's why", without explaining how those stats make them better at "slaying". Heavies have more health than assaults, are they better slayers too now? Oh, come on. It's been discussed to death on here, but now I'm just making it up? Logistics suits can do anything as well, or better than other classes (besides carrying heavy weapons). They can spec to be as fast as scout suits, they can have all the same damage buffs, shield and armor buffs, rechargers as the other classes and more. How often do you see a logi actually playing their role, healing up teammates, reviving, using scanners, etc.? Never. People are spec'ing into logi so they can be better than assault players at being assault players. If I could dislike this post, I would.
I have played nothing but Logi since started shortly after the open beta. I rep, resupply, and revive all the time. I more often then not have my rep tool out instead of my AR. You assume that 'all' Logis are not doing their jobs, just because you think otherwise. |

Your anecdote doesn't erase the very real situation in the game. Just because you do perform the logi role doesn't mean that you have to because of the class you decided to spec into. I'm not assuming that 'all logis are just glorified assaults!" I'm saying that they can be, and shouldn't be able to because it negates the benefit of splitting off from basic to assault, instead of basic to logi. So you dislike the fact that Logis and specialize however they wish?
In my corp, we run standard logi builds (Hive, Needles, Rep Tools, so on.) and non-standard builds (AV Focus, Sniper-focused, Hacking-focused). The 'issue' with Logis is that the game current rewards everyone playing like assaults, and less freedom of action.
If all other actions were as viable and as useful to the team as an Assault Logi, then their would be less Assault Logis.
Also, I have been branching out into Assault suits (Minmatar) from my Logi suit (Proto-Gallente), and the speed difference between Logi and Assault suits is very noticeable. I have survived many fights in my assault suits that would have killed me in my Logi suit. Being fast is a god send in this game. |
