I guess it wouldnt be so bad in a blueprint suit, but a suit costing 150k isk that dies in less then a second to AR fire is complete bullshit.

I mainly use an AR but I have at least level 3 in every light weapon. Depending on which map and more specifically which area of the map I plan on engaging in determines the weapon I use. I love them all.

Try direct hitting a brick tanked assault or logi suit with a plasma cannon, should be one hit kill, it doesnt kill, them, leaves them with 100 - 200 armour left and they've killed you in the half second they need.

How about knive hit detection were at any moment they can just turn around or someone spawns in and instant blaps you when still invisible. Its complete bullshit what they did to the scout.

I only use the plasma cannon when an area is congested with heavies. Make sure to put a complex damage mod on it though. As for the nova knives I don't use them very often to be honest.

AAGMUNDR Reliable Overwatch Inc. 87	Posted - 2013.09.10 19:37:00 - [4] - Quote Those control points with that are in the tiny little building with a ramp to the roof and two ground level entrances are what I have dubbed 'scout-houses' . Sprint, shotgun, sprint, shotgun, sprint, remote explosives, shotgun, and reload.

Flanking and stealth are great assets in this game.
Satori Particle Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 3	Posted - 2013.09.10 19:39:00 - [6] - Quote I'm using an AR most of the time. Stealth paired with the range is absolutely devastating.

Not just this - it's also the fact that shared vision has been disabled, meaning that your scan profile actually means something now.
TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 3333	Posted - 2013.09.10 19:45:00 - [8] - Quote Decided to try out a militia Gallente scout after reading OP trying to go against the raging river of scout tears. I honestly have no idea wtf people are complaining about. I'm pretty much invisible. I went down fast when spotted, but holy mother of derp was I able to wreak some havoc when I went undetected.
knight of 6 SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 259	Posted - 2013.09.10 19:45:00 - [9] - Quote honestly, not much improvement, but then I'm an AR scout and always have been. the hit detection helped a bit but it helped everyone. I have a little better profit margins and my K/D is up .03. my playstyle involves shooting people in the back or from above since head to head combat isn't an option and strafing involves speed i don't have. when I learn the new maps they'll be an asset but for now I as good as always.
Beck Weathers High-Damage 40	Posted - 2013.09.10 19:53:00 - [10] - Quote I cant squeeze any good out of mine, but i did fight this guy called Lightning xVx today and he was an absolute beast with his, my bulets where bouncing right off him and he pretty much 1 shot killed my entire squad multiple times in a row in the city.

I'm using plates so this build helped my survivability and the shared vision changes are completely noticeable. Do you rock a scanner? I make sure to have an uplink running and some hives down but when that's taken care of it's all about the quantum active scanner.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 3949	Posted - 2013.09.10 20:01:00 - [12] - Quote Scout + Repair Tool = invisible "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?"

Scout reppin a heavy with a shotgun ready in close quarters. I love this game and it's endless possibilities.

Godin Thekiller Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 618	Posted - 2013.09.10 20:20:00 - [15] - Quote Well, you could do the same thing with a medium frame, specifically a Assault, but like anyone cares.......

Crash Monster Snipers Anonymous 1296	Posted - 2013.09.10 20:23:00 - [18] - Quote Well, not being in the shot gun fraternity I haven't really noticed any improvements.
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 4084	Posted - 2013.09.10 20:24:00 - [19] - Quote Not me unfortunately. I still have to traverse the open spaces to reach the outposts. During that time I am completely vulnerable to even the simplest 'exile' assaults. But once I'm in the city I can get a few kills with little risk to myself so long as I stay hidden and spam the active scanner while using a profile-dampened scout suit. Even then, it's not guaranteed that I will get kills. Skill is a major factor.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 8241	Posted - 2013.09.10 20:40:00 - [24] - Quote I usually do good until I get the loading jitters which **** me off to no end as a light. My Mediums don't suffer as much because I go about walking most of the time as I'm generally placing myself in superior positions most of the time and cover is good in quantity.

Top 3 includes first place. It also includes second and third. So you are saying that in order for a class or even more specifically a fit to be considered beast it needs to rank first every time? I would classify that as God like, a beast is still mortal.
