Drogan Reeth Free Trade Corp 54	Posted - 2013.08.03 02:05:00 - [1] - Quote Is anything being done about this suit being useless? Even if I was given lvl 5 for free. I would still use the basic over it because the basic can use 2 dmg mods
Poplo Furuya Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 565	Posted - 2013.08.03 02:10:00 - [2] - Quote I kind of like the idea of 4 lows for going to either extreme, superfat or superfast. Mm, 3 Complex Kinetics and an Enhanced Regulator. Sprinting hellbastard fatty with a HMG.

I would probably still use the Sentinel, cause then I can fit even more plates! Sentinel is more Defense Heavy as opposed to basic, and its cheaper then basic. The Basic seems to be more of a Attack heavy.

FATPrincess - XOXO Shining Flame Amarr Empire 350	Posted - 2013.08.03 02:18:00 - [5] - Quote I don't see why it's worse. What can you do with 2 highs? 2 shield extenders? lol Fours lows give you the max armor tanking and can fit repairers. Not that this is awesome cause lolArmorTanking but I'd prefer to min/max. -XOXO
FLAYLOCK Steve Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 43	Posted - 2013.08.03 02:19:00 - [6] - Quote I own a heavy. A bpo dren heavy and I don't think it's that bad
DS 10 G I A N T EoN. 649	Posted - 2013.08.03 02:48:00 - [7] - Quote If you HMG, Sentinel is okay. More lows means more HP in the meat grinder If you Forge, frame is best because 2 Complex Damage mods make a huge difference.

I would still use the basic over it because the basic can use 2 dmg mods The sentinel is better if you have a voiced coordinated squad of heavies and REAL logies, as then you can stack nothing but armor plating in the lower slots. I've proven this many times, otherwise for solo work, well... Yeah... Go basic heavy so you can shield tank/whatever better.
G Felix Federated Consultants PMC 13	Posted - 2013.08.03 03:33:00 - [10] - Quote I've always found the Sentinel Basic a suitable platform for the HMG, but I don't use the Forge so I can't really speak to those fits. I see the need for DMG mod slots being more important for them than us HMG users. But you need all the help you can get between the heat up and the reload time on that HMG, even cutting it short with the glitch as often as possible. Sentinels are solid platforms when paired witth dedicated Logis, as they can tank their armor HP sky-high without ever worrying about repping modules. I have totally different Heavy fittings depending on the amount of squad Logi support present.

I've proven this many times, otherwise for solo work, well... Yeah... Go basic heavy so you can shield tank/whatever better. For HMG go sentinel especially with the reload bonus, for Forge go basic. You took the words right out of my mouth, down to pretty much every bullet point. Needless to say, I couldn't agree more!
Coleman Gray GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 396	Posted - 2013.08.03 04:24:00 - [12] - Quote Why would you need damage mods for forge guns? I'd rather have the extra plate

There's also allot of low level lavs that can survive a hit on the front.
Zekain Kade TeamPlayers EoN. 1368	Posted - 2013.08.03 04:51:00 - [14] - Quote i just want a heavy suit to lug around a forge gun. My skin weave is fitting that roll perfectly until the caldari heavy is released.

I'm saving the SP i would put in the sentinel suit for when a new heavy suit comes out :) Caldari heavy cant wait to see how much shields I can put on because CCP favors shields
RA Drahcir Psygod9 RISE of LEGION 70	Posted - 2013.08.04 22:39:00 - [16] - Quote the HMG is just fine with one damage mod. Survivability is key: reload speed, low slots. I die more often trying to reload or find cover/reds, than from a gunfight. Besides, the ADV basic has two high, two low, which is enough for whenever I want to bring out that second damage mod. Starting to save up for my PROTO sentinel now, this is going to be one loong month.
