The changes to the Amarr Logi are great, but as someone who chose the Amarr Assault over the Amarr Logi I am a bit concerned. Let's look at the stats.

Standard: Logi / Assault
Light Weapons: 1/1
Sidearms: 1/1
Highs: 2/2
Lows: 2/1
Equipment: 2/1
PG: 36/35
CPU: 195/175
Armor: 180/180
Shield: 120/180
Conclusion: Standard logi gives up 60 shield in exchange for 1 extra low, 1 extra equipment, 1 extra PG, and 20 extra CPU.

Advanced: Logi / Assault
Light Weapons: 1/1
Sidearms: 1/1
Highs: 3/2
Lows: 3/2
Equipment: 3/1
PG: 49/49
CPU: 273/245
Armor: 180/180
Shield: 120/180
Conclusion: Advanced logi gives up 60 shield in exchange for 1 extra high, 1 extra low, 2 extra equipment, and 28 extra CPU.

Prototype: Logi / Assault
Light Weapons: 1/1
Sidearms: 1/1
Highs: 3/3
Lows: 4/3
Equipment: 3/1
PG: 69/70
CPU: 390/350
Armor: 180/180
Shield: 120/180
Conclusion: Prototype logi gives up 60 shield and 1 PG in exchange for 1 extra low, 2 extra equipment, and 40 extra CPU.

The trade-off is ridiculously imbalanced. Sure you can argue the bonuses, but the Assault's reduction to heat build up is only really important if you are using a laser rifle - even if you are using a scrambler rifle it will only allow you 3 or 4 extra shots, plus shield regen isn't that useful if you aren't going to shield tank. In contrast, logistics gets 5 hp/s armor repair plus a bonus to armor repair modules, which is much better than the assault's bonus.

Only reason I skilled into Assaults instead of Logi was because I wasn't planning on going prototype anytime soon and I need the sidearm. But now? I am NOT asking for a respec, I am asking that you address the assault class.

I am NOT asking for a respec, I am asking that you address the assault class. Well , depends. You are overlooking lots of stuff here. I use both LOGI and Assault (ASCR logi / SCR + Laser Assault) The assault also has more shield regenerate rate. Has SCOUT level STAMINA. Amarr assaults are NOT good amror tankers as the logi, but htey are GREAT dual tankers. I use 2 Cx Shield Ext + 1 Cx Dam Mod/ 2 pataes and repair module. I run around 361 shields (i call it sniper shell) that regenerates at a minimum of 20 per sec PLUS 458 armor, for a total of 819, decent movement,speed, lots of stamina...overall a great assault. I mean, i sure as hell wouldnt mind a buff to the amarr assault, but i do think its ok right now...
