You're so philosophical. please adorn me with more pearls of wisdom.

Game is dead in 6 months, who gives a ****?

I feel that not throwing every skill point into a single weapon, suit, and core skills actually allows the player to be far more versatile on the field.

I have 4 proto type weapons, LAV's, Tanks, and proto, basic frame suit. The only thing im missing from what i use to have in chrome are drop ships, and a AVD heavy suit.

This sort of skill point spread allows me to compete in cqc areas, allows me to actually fight off tanks, and either counter shield tankers, or take on a more balanced, standard roll with the trusty assault rifle.

If neither of those play syles are needed, I can bring down a tank to tip the gun play balance. I honestly think that the only purpose tanks have right now is to distract the enemy team, and force them to switch to something that leaves them vulnerable to infantry.

Or I can bring down an LLAV and do... stuff...

Some people think that dumping all of your skill points into a single suit, weapon, and core skills is the best way to go. Why is that? Sure, you'll have amazing efficiency with that combo, but you'll leave yourself open to everything else.

What are all of your views? Do you think its better to specialize in one thing to transform into a specialized super tool. or cover many rolls, and become a swiss army knife?

ive spec'd

proto light frame, gallente scout lvl 3

proto medium frame, adv gallente logi

ptoto submachine guns, proto SCR, adv AR, adv swarms, and adv damage mods

adv grenades and adv demolitions

core skills for suit maxxed all logi gear advanced

anything with a passive like dampening, precision enhancers, and range amplifiers to lvl 3

armor repping and plates lvl 5, all shield to lvl 3 shield recharging lvl 5

kincats and regulators both at lvl 3

and probably a couple more things ive forgot

im working on my electronics and engineering now

when they release a gallente heavy I will probably spec into that aswell

Here's the thing. Just skill up enough to get into what you really want. Just enough to be effective and so you have ol' reliable to fall back on. Then the bare minimum for other things you want to do.

I had gone full Logistics before the respec and gotten bored with the grind and stopped playing. The respec came and instead focused on core skills. Originally I was going to finish my core skills first (because Skinweave Minmatar Dropsuit is OP like that). ALL OF THEM. I got into levels 4 of the PG/CPU skills and had 500,000 SP left over and said "**** it" and put enough to get the basics of most guns.

It was the best decision I ever made in regards to Dust. Whenever I get bored of something, I have SO much variety to choose from that I always have a reason to play. Got bored of being a logi? I got my Remote Explosive Madness. Got fed up with that? AR. I've got heavy loadouts for defending points and blowing up vehicles. I've got Scramblers, Plasma Cannons, and shotguns. I GOT IT ALL, BABY AND I GOT ALL THE MOTIVATION TO USE 'EM!
