The logi is getting nerfed in the next update, and assault will probably get nerfed some time in the updates after that. So here i am, stuck at the cal proto basic frame, currently sitting on 700k un used sp. Do I continue to save up for the assault suit , or do I throw my points into a heavy suit, and forge?

But wait, the forge is probably going to be nerfed too...

What about swarms? With the armor rep nerf inbound, swarms might be nerffed to compensate.

Drop Ships will never get any love, so there's no point in going that direction...

I know ccp is trying to avoid power creeping. But by doing so, they are power dropping instead. Everything just keeps getting weaker, and weaker.

What the hell do I do? Which road leads to a bridge, and which one leads to a hole? There is no stability. I can't invest months of work into something that'll just be rendered useless in the next patch. You cannot build a stable community by doing this, its crazy.

700k isn't a lot personally I'd save it, I got 1m and I'm saving it but thats just me

We need more optimism. You know as well as I do that balancing is difficult especially with lower numbers. The suits are not useless and will be continuously tweaked. Don't get all down and out because it will get better with time. All of our expansions have made the game better and will probably continue to do so. Take a break and do something else for a while. It DOES help, some. Patients is a virtue and will be rewarded in the long run.

Meaningful investment of SP is an illusion, unless you can predict the future. Its unfortunate... you have to make choices and live with the consequences of CCPs nerf hammer. Best thing you can do is spec into whatever suits you and hope to god somewhere down the line CCP has enough foresight to offer reallocations in future updates.

OZAROW A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. League of Infamy 204	Posted - 2013.07.22 06:04:00 - [13] - Quote My best advice is go prototype minmatar scout shotgun it's so overpowered at proto level, it's got about a maximum of 343 shields an you can put a complex armor mod on it for maybe a total of 150 armor if your lucky, then put a enhanced CPU chip on it to fix your shotgun to it, but you wont have enough CPU for grenades or your equipment slot . But dont worry the hit detection on the shotgun is beast , you ll kill everyone before you need more ammo so it doesn't matter that a nano hive won't fit your roadrunner suit will get you to a supply depot in plenty Of time just don't jump or sprint they tend to run out of stamina easily since 1.2

Flux grenades require grenade skill 1 sorry you're unwilling to create a dropsuit with flux grenades for when you see cal logis on the other team. I currently run the adv version with 486 shields and I destroy people in protosuits including other cal logis because of my individual skill. After the nerf when I get proto I will get 588 shields and the regulators I use will be even better. I actually like the nerf because when I continue to destroy scrubs they can't blame the suit.

There is no best way to skill. Pick what you want to play and stick with it. Then when it eventually becomes FOTM, you'll have a leg up on everybody who first has to hurriedly spec into it...

Your performance has little to do with your suit. I find that I die an equal number of times in a proto suit to a militia suit. It is simply ALL about your skills and placement... and about 5-10% related to your equipment...
