Bears Beets Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 610	Posted - 2013.07.30 22:35:00 - [1] - Quote Thanks for taking the time to write this! Coming in to the game post-uprising with 4.5 million SP, you actually have a very unique outlook on Heavy as a whole. I don't think I've really ever considered using stamina mods on my fittings, and you have to be one of only a handful of dudes who went proto Sentinel haha. I for one would really like to see you continue these diary-like entries about what you've been messing with, how it works for you, etc. etc. Share your journey as a Heavy with us! Maybe in the future break up your points into paragraphs though so it's not a giant looming wall of text lol I'll keep an eye out for ya in-game. Would like to see how those fittings work for you.

Also, is your name a reference to Dwight from the Office? Haha sure is. But thanks for stopping by the guide! If you have any input, feel free to chime in. I'd like to hear more about your experience/opinion on Sentinel as I don't have any experience with them beyond the standard level.
Bears Beets Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 616	Posted - 2013.07.31 19:25:00 - [4] - Quote Wow, you have Complex Cardiac Regulators on that thing? That's awesome! So if I'm looking at this right, it means you have 250 stamina and a stamina recovery rate of 30, correct? We should race some time so I can see if it's worth that 1 million SP you dumped in to it. Sentinel is looking more and more appealing, but I don't think it would be worth it until I have the SP to throw at proto biotics (probiotics, heh). As it stands, I'd probably just put 2 reppers and 1 plate on my lows for an ADV suit.
Bears Beets Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 647	Posted - 2013.08.04 00:57:00 - [5] - Quote Interesting stuff. Like I said, I never would have considered putting biotics on my heavy suit, but you're making me think twice. Thanks for the math lesson :P
Bears Beets Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 682	Posted - 2013.08.10 05:57:00 - [6] - Quote The way I see it, I'd rather be able to throw a Flux grenade into a pack of people and wipe their shields so I can mop them up with my HMG (which has a 110% damage bonus to armor) than throw a Locus and MAYBE have the CHANCE of POSSIBLY killing someone who I would have killed with my HMG anyway. The time you spend cooking a good Locus grenade could have been spent firing your HMG for much more damage anyway. I will preach Flux grenades at any heavy.
Bears Beets Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 683	Posted - 2013.08.11 22:03:00 - [7] - Quote I've actually never really done much armor tanking, so it's interesting to hear your take on it, Megaman. I've for the most part found that the Complex Armor Plates just aren't worth my time as I - like Damus - like to be as mobile as possible as a Heavy. With a 30%-40% reduction in speed, I'd like to see how you act on the playing field. You can't really run from point to point without it taking ages, so do you just camp on one point as long as possible? It's interesting how you run both Basic and Sentinel. I was considering running solely Sentinel, though. For Forge Guns, by losing 1 Complex Heavy Damage Modifier, your shots go from 2286.8 to 2103.9 (Ishukone Assault Forge Gun with level 5 Proficiency) which is a hit of 182.9 per shot, or 731.6 per clip. This means that anything that wouldn't have otherwise died will take one more shot to kill. However, with the extra low slot, you can introduce a bigger buffer against snipers (my worst enemy as a Forge Sniper), biotics (for getting to tanks faster), or local reps. In this case, the extra low slot might be more beneficial. Kinda regretting getting PRO Basic suits now I would also like to add that I am absolutely in love with my SMG. I grabbed an ADV Assault SMG (the M209) and added it to my Forge Gun fit, and now I can actually hold my own when reds get up close and personal. You don't necessarily have to skill in to SMGs, but I definitely recommend taking more of a look at sidearms if you find yourself running Forge Guns even close to often. I am loving mine and will be grabbing PRO and Proficiency ASAP. Anyway, sorry for blabbing, I'm just really intrigued by all of the diversity going on here. I'd really like to squad up with you guys some time to see how you behave differently from me with your different setups.
