What would you drop Heavy Assault for?


Let's say that the devs made Heavy Assault fair and balanced at last, whether by repairing Surge or by making rexo a prerequisite. What would you spend those sweet, sweet credits on?

This isn't a discussion of the nature of Surge or Heavy Assault or a free chance to flame me. I'm interested to see what kinds of new things we can expect to see when the Heavy Assault situation changes, which it seems very likely to do soon.

For me I'd drop them for a Reaver. But if I had to choose an infantry catagorey I would have to go with special assault or maybe sniping.

I'd probably go with Mosq/Reaver too. Sorry it's not on the list, I only had 10 options and I failed to put two together to make room for it.

Well, I have:

MA
HA
SA
Air Cavalry
Reinforced

If I dropped HA, I would pick up Uni-Max.

I'm TR. I wouldn't touch the Uni-Max cert. I'd just spend the 2 points on the Burster Max. It's the only MAX worth a damn right now to the TR.

MA
HA
AT
Rexo
Eng
CE
Ground Support
Ground Transport

I aleady use Rexo/HA in assault, so any surge/Rexo prequisit wouldn't effect me, other than make me jump for joy, so I wouldn't drop it.
If they totaly nerfed HA and ruined it, I don't know what I'd do. VS MA is pretty pathetic. I'd probably switch to a vehicle specialist

I already dropped my HA. I had it for over a month, and loved it. But as time went on i began to realize something: I always used it. I used it so much, that I grew sick of it, so I decided to make a sacrifice and turn it in. Now I'm using 5 or 6 different weapons in a given day instead of the same one over and over again, and to be honest, I really like the diversity. I am probably a bit less effective at killing, but I don't mind, it's more of a challenge to get my kills. Instead of just spamming a hallway with a lasher, I have to adapt my tactics for the weapon I'm using. Punisher equipped? Time a well aimed plasma grenade, drop to a crouch, and open fire with primary shots; I can down them as fast, or faster than with my lasher. Pulsar? Range is your friend, keep distance between you, fire 4-5 shot bursts, they go down before they can get close enough for their HA. In courtyard defenses, you'll see me on the walls lobbing thumper grenades down on them, and getting twice the kills I would with a lasher.

What did I trade it in for? Ground support, and I'm loving it. I wouldn't go back for anything now. My well placed AMS or Router (I love the router, use it every chance I get ) can be the lynchpin of an assault. When was the last time you could say you were the deciding factor in a large assault? I still haven't decided what to use my other 2 certs on though, either CE, Infil, or AA MAX...
