For a true logi, the lower your kdr the better.

There is a role for combat oriented Logis, its called the Amarr logi. With the next buff, I suspect it will go from least popular logi to most popular. Yet, it still isn't going to be preferable for assaults to use.

If you wanted to fill the role of combat logi, you should have had some foresight to realize the callogi was going to be rebalanced. Just a suggestion, have you tried maxing modules but bumping down to maining a SMG?

"logistics plural of lo-+gis-+tics (Noun)
Noun
1) The detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies.
2) The organization of moving, housing, and supplying troops and equipment."

No where does that mean that we are limited to being a medic(injector + repair gun). Hell medic isn't even directly mentioned.

This in mind, I play an explosives point defense logistics. I run Amarr and my three equipment slots are RE's, Proximity Mines, and Nanohives. This allows me to move equipment around and supply troops with ammo.

Logistics just means we get the fancy toys to keep our troops moving, functioning, and having a place to rest. We have many varied tools already to help us perform our role, and more to come later with mobile shield gens and deploy able stealth equipment.

The fact that we can kill something is just a means to defend ourselves and the equipment we place on the battlefield. We are not meant to be the front line pushers, but we are expected to secure the area with the necessary equipment to hold the area and win the battle/war.

If your corp won't let you be a medic in PC, there are many other avenues to fill as a logistics that you should discuss with your leaders to find out what tools they need to win. Many leaders may not understand logis fully and they may need to be educated. Having more logis than just injector/repair gun monkeys can be highly beneficial as we can carry more of what is needed to move our troops (uplinks) and equipment (nanohives).

The hardest part is getting people to stop rushing forward long enough to need the stuff we can provide sometimes. If people rush forward all the time and die, of course they won't need ammo, and likely their corpse will be too far to revive safely. If people take cover when getting shot, then that will give us time to be that force multiplier that CCP says we are. Cause if they keep dying and run out of ammo assaulting a point, it makes it easier to kill them.

The nerf was not to stop Logi from fighting on the front lines. The nerf was due to the Cali Logi suit being Over Powered. The nerf brings it more in line with other Logi suits.

I cant agree with all of this, cause never getting a kill is impossible.

Not my opinion. Still doesnt mean you dont have to carry a gun. But it also doesnt mention anything about frontline combat at all. I'm sure that logistics officers carried a sidearm (as all field military do). The fact i think is that the Cal Logi had better shield tanking than the assault class, making the assault suit a poor choice since you dont have as many equipment slots. Having better shields, CPU and PG, equipment slots, and H/L modules made the assault obsolete in terms of recieving/delivering damage. Why would i be 'assault' when i could be a 'logi' with all those benifits. CCP wants 'logistics' to adhear to the term that has been used for centuries.

I'm not joking.

Honestly, i'm pretty sure i'm just gonna take a break from this game. Come back in a couple of years once Sony has cut its ties and it makes its way to the PC.

it is a situational trade off, most people would rather have more shields and throw on a recharger to compensate. 'Better' is subject to opinion, true. But im sure alot of people would agree that more hitpoints are 'better' than faster regen (at this point). Id rather have a stronger defence wall, rather than one i could 'rebuild' faster. And the regen wasnt "slow as **** ", it was 4/6, better than anything in the game by default ( http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/07/logistics-dropsuit-changes-in-uprising-1.3/ ). I guess my 'opinion' boils down to: a 'logistic' suit could take more damage than a frontline 'assault' suit(logi 5% shield bonus to extenders per lvl), making it more of a frontline choice than most, while having a higher CPU/PG and equipment slots. I also understand that damage is an even slate, the only reason i added that was because there is equipment that can be used to deliver damage(any explosive except grenades) meaning more damage delivery options.
