K bro it's like this, it depends what your skills are.
What suit did you have?
What skills have u invested, are you further in armor or shields?
Where are you on biotics an electronics?
I was a gallente then I got the optional respec an went minmatar .
Now this is not a speed build, this is now electronics an armor war.
Because of this there are two ways to play it, defensive and offensive .
Gallente to me is defensive heres why
Your high slot is probably good for a damage mod , I would use a complex damage to make your knives almost as tough as the minmatar, the precision mod even at proto isn't worth it or you could use a shield energizer to give shields an a fast recharge.
To me a sg isn't worth it knives or a smg work better and a dam mod smg hits so hard from behind they stand no chance.
Now the low slot options are shield regulators , armor, reps , biotics, range, an profile dampening .
Armor an stealth is the way but with biotics to 5 the gallente will stock run around 8mps minmatar 8.36
Which means as a gallente all your health is armor mini is shields, certain mods restrict your health.
Both scouts I believe in this build are built for damage an armor not speed.
An your life depends on armor regen not shield .
Look at the mini like a predator an the gallente like a defender , even as a offensive scout it's ment to hide an the mini is a tiger stalking prey.
The mods on the gallente dampen it past 15 db to beat the 15 db scanner , an you get range mods to see an complex reactive plates to have armor an built in regen, 2 mods an that's almost as good as having a complex rep without wastin the slot an a cardiac an a basic pd to get you under 28 db to beat all scanners but one, if you have a proto suit an level 4 dampening this build wil work, or you can go all speed or run a basic pd, uplinks or r/e drop the scanner an use 3 range mods.
Now the mini can do the opposite .
I dropped my speed for a reactive regen plate, if I use a complex I still run 8.22 without biotics, I use a advanced scanner an a basic pd to get under 28 db cuz I can't get below 15 only gallente scout an most logistics can cuz you need 3 lows.
But the 3 high slots is where it gets different since the range an dampening go in the lows you can't hide as good but you can still get to about 17 db which is ghost, but the 3 highs I now use for precision mods so people can't hide from me, an with the passive range I can see well enough to not use a scanner but I usually do, but it picks up low signatures without getting caught with a scanner in my hand.
Then a shield an a damage mod, hit hard an hide.
I got 24/6 in a city with under 240 total health using dam mod on a smg an knives, precision , reactive plate a basic db an a scanner , you can even drop the precision mod for a shield,
Just stay hidden . I realized , the combat scout gets you killed, getting 20 kills from behind make you a friggin pro in this build, knowing they died an never even seen you is not comparable to any other type of kill an will make people fear your name on the screen.
Your survival is your play style change it to that which I described that fits your sp sink so far an you will kill in either suit just don't get seen.
The gallente has more stock HP, CPU an pg, an the mini can now afford to run armor an still be fast just use the reactive plate an a basic pd is all you need to get under 28 db as long as you have the 25% from a proto suit an 10% from pasive pd5.
But if I was you I would be patient an be so careful as to how you spend points , this build your best bet is knives an a smg to proficiency 3 at minimum then you can use a toxin smg bpo an it will hit like a proto an it's 15/3 on CPU an pg which is less than any other auto weapon an a must for a scout considering our CPU an pg.
But level those weapons an your passives, buy a militia of each suit an test the movements, I can't even enjoy using my dragonfly gallente scout cuz I'm so used to how a my mini suit moves.
I found that jumping an speeding forward doesn't help anymore, your best bet is outing a obstical between you an say a assault if you get caught one on one an use that scanner an you can see his direction for 16 seconds, you with a pd that gets you under 28 he won't pic up even if he scans you an even tho he knows ur there he won't know what your doing an this is why knives an a mini are better to me, because it becomes a chess match an if I scan I can keep obsticals between our line of sight but I can still see him, then I can leave an go the long way or get his back an not give my position away by shooting, scanner at advanced is a must.
I would gladly squad anytime to show you what I've learned.
Good luck hommie! |
