Scouts are (usually) fine when they're playing stealthy instead of going head-on.
Speed tanking provides VERY little survivability advantage, but because sprinting doesn't raise your profile, it can help you to get around into a flanking position without being detected. The lack of squad vision also helps Scouts for this role.
We got buffed and nerfed, but with the inability to share our own vision unless we fill our equipment slot on an expensive piece of kit, I think the final balance is nerf slightly more than buff.
It also doesn't help that scanning seems a bit screwy at times. As a Scout, I've occasionally had Heavies appear right next to me when I turn around, and as a Medium Frame suit, I've been able to sneak up on a Scout from a position where he couldn't possibly have failed to see me as a HUD marker or on his minimap. |

As soon as you provide me with a reason why being "ranked" somehow matters more than my experience playing DUST since closed beta, and the fact that I'm posting examples of personal experience in the new build to support my conclusions.
When you've read the relevant materials and seen the results in game, come back with your own conclusions, and we'll have something to discuss. Until then, please hold off on the pointless ad hominems. Thanks. |

With the drawbacks the particular "pick up everything" Active Scanner had last time I checked the stats, that should be fair enough.
Of course, what ISN'T fair is that someone apparently managed to build a Logi that's invisible to that same Scanner.
