DUST Search - So now I'm stuck with Gallente, the worst Logi suit?

Caldari has max Shielding and best recharge now, Min has speed comparable to Assaults, can Shield tank, and can take objectives, before the enemy swarm arrives. Gallente used to be the most versatile suit, but now Amarr has a side-arm and an additional EQ slot at ADV with an additional low in proto. They make up for Armor tanking by being the best at DPS of all Logibros and max repair rate, and remains the only Logi that can actually AV without being useless against infantry.

So where does this leave Gallente? The passive skill is mediocre, the suit is build to armor tank, and without a side-arm and the repair rate of Amarr, it can't make up for being inferior to Shield tankers. EQ abuse doesn't work out either. Scanners don't provide any WP, and only scouts have a reason to use them, there is no reason to skill up to proto RE/PM. Needle at a proto level doesn't strain the suit for the passive to really take effect. To a lesser extent, the same goes for the Gauged Nanohive. I suppose proto repair tool is good to have, but honestly Triage ADV will get you going fine. The only real EQ that takes advantage of the Gallente passive are Triage Nanohives, but to use the Gallente just lower the CPU of Triage Hives by 21 is hardly a reason to use Gallente over any other Logi suit.

Uhhh you know how you get to just stack your entire suit with Proto gear and complex mods? Guess what, real dropsuits don't actually get to do that.

You obviously haven't tried fitting a Gallente logi suit so I won't bother proving your idiotic statement false. And OP, our passive is amazing. In comparing it to passives that aid our 'LOGI ROLE' it's the best goddamn passive in the game. It makes our equipment fittings easier. "But the Caldari have a better shielding". Can they support there squad with 4 equipment slots all proto while not losing to much in self defense modding? "Min have speed," You trying to solo chase someone down without your squad? "They can Sheild tank," they have 4 high slots. 4 low slots. Sheild tanking is Justinian your high slots to extend your Sheilds. Gallente can do that too. Fit 3 extenders, 3 plates, a rep and a regulator. Done, hybrid tanking. "Amar have a side arm," so far it just sounds like you want our LOGI suit to frontline. Our suit is the best suit for pure support logi'ing. Our suits only issue is that we're slow and forced to mostly stack armor for survivability. Other than that it is a great supporting logi suit. All your points just make it sound like you need to stop being a logi and just assault. You might feel better.
