I wouldn't spend a single point of SP until we have confirmation there will be a respec on or before 1.5.

I'm thinking about speccing into one of them. Assault because I like the Scram Rifle and the LR will have a scope that will be usable. But the logistics has more CPU and PG so I can fit more stuff and have complex shields on an advanced suit while having enhanced armor and stuff. I like using Amarr weapons and all, but it's a hard decision. Help? I don't know what reason to go assault besides the bonus.

LR was always usable and now looks stupid with the red dot sight.

Also if you are going to use shields.... you are doing something wrong and.... I am disappointed.

I say Amarr Assault and spec both LR and ScR

I don't use M&KB. Its hard to aim bc its so slow and some scouts run faster than it.

I'd be really, really leery of the Amarr Logistics. There is a chance it might get nerfed.

That being said, if you're looking to use the Scrambler Rifle and/or Laser Rifle Amarr Assault is not a bad choice. At PRO with max shield and armor upgrades you can get 800 EHP with no movement speed penalty and an armor repairer. Laser Rifles due to their mechanics get the most benefits from Amarr Assaults bonus. The Scrambler can be used with any suit however, and I'd consider particularly the Minmatar Assault as well because its bonus helps both the Flaylock and SMG, two sidearms who partner with Scramblers due to their effectiveness against armor. It's speed also helps with closing in to finish people off.

Now I think if you do wish to go into Amarr Logistics I suggest going with Mass Drivers (though it too might be nerfed) and/or Swarm Launchers personally. A sidearm + additional slots for Nanohives and Remote Explosives adds a lot of support for those two weapons.

Wrong, amarr logistics is working as intended and fits its description perfectly as an assault oriented logi, yeah it can achieve decent tank but it still has low shield recharge rate and very slow movement, it's one of the only suits that does what it says in the description. An assault should be quicker with higher recharge rate with more hp, the amarr assault has exactly that but the logi has more hp in armour and assault has more hp in shields at max tank.

can someone tell me how many high-low slots they both have at ADV. and Proto

If you just want to kill and move around quickly then assault, id you want specialist roles including tanking for defensive play then logi. Hope all that helps

I don't think the scrambler rifle heat is affected at all by the Assault suit bonuses, just the laser rifle.

Dude, they already said no........

Yeah respects aren't needed. If you fill your core skills you can be pretty dominant in a BPO fit really.

But back to the real point here: I unlocked both basic fits awhile back, and I liked the Logi suit simply because of the repair bonus, along with the CPU boost and sidearm at the basic logi level. But I encourage you to try both to see which fits your style of play. There's no reason not to try.

The Assault has the highest EHP and CPU/PG among the assault suits,great for hybrid tanking,great for using laser weaponry and has so much stamina.

The Logistic is very very very versatile,especially good for AV roles.

My advice is to train both,youre not gonna regret it.

Ok. I have complex shields, complex damage mods. enhanced regulators, enhanced armor reppers, enhanced armor, advanced ASCR, lvl 4 scrambler pistol, adv shotgun, proto with prof 3, advanced swarm, and a ton of basic stuff like my explosives. I have around 7.4 million SP in total. I have mostly lvl 3 some 5 core skills. I'm saving for full Amarr. How much SP will I need for just the advanced logi?

Source?

Also, its obvious that the amarr logi bonus is changing... you cannot and should not make a decision based on racial bonuses.

If anything, choose which one you think looks prettier.. that's about all you have to go on until 1.4 changes are announced.

I would be very leary of choosing amarr logi cause of the logi passive armor reps, I have a sneaking suspicion that bonus is going away as well.

Dude, they already said no........

Where's the actual reason and logic behind thinking they would specifically remove the passive hp repair on just the amarr logi, no offense but you sound like your projecting your hopes as a possibility.

It's one of things that makes logis preferred by many for frontline assault. Now amarr logi doesn't even have to sacrifice the sidearm slot for it.

I dunno why anyone would even think about making a class choice right now when its clear all of the logi bonuses (at the minimum) are changing. They've already said they are making changes to discourage logis from focusing on frontline combat.

I'm not projecting anything, shoot i have no clue what's going to happen. Just a word of warning that we've already receive confirmation that medium suits (likely most other frames as well) are recieving a balance pass in 1.4.

The Amarr are armor tankers though, it makes sense for the Logi bonus to be armor related. Why would CCP remove a bonus that falls in line with their lore and core tanking method as a race?

This is my plan: Adv. Assault
Proto Logi
With those suits including my standard suits as well, I will use the SR, ASR, Sp(Sidearm), LR, and swarm launcher accordingly.

Look, Zdub is right on this, don't choose suits based on bonuses, they may or may not be changing, but they are being looked at, especially logistics bonuses.

Players asking if they should go assault or logistics to fulfill their role as an assault on the battlefield.

Loving it.
