I understand that you are aware that our performance - on average - has been in decline since Chromosome.
We Scouts are very much looking forward to the Dev Hugs coming soon.
We have high hopes that with your help, we may someday compete with the swelling ranks of Proto EZ Mode.

Thank You,

* EZ Mode = Medium-Frame + Duvolle AR + Damage Amps + 3x our HP
^ Dead Scout in under 0.5 seconds (even when you get the drop on 'em, even when you wear plates)

And to silence those idiots who scream that "you don't really die that fast"
He ain't to far off.

Time for a math lesson.

Duvolle AR

37.4 DMG * 15% proficiency/damage amps (assumed) = 43.01 DMG
750 RPM / 60 = 12.5 RPS

DMG * RPS = DPS
43.01 * 12.5 = 537.625 DPS

Most scouts are shield tanks (due to need for speed) so multiply by 10% = 591.3875

Almost 600. Most scouts run suits with less than 300eHP.

1/2 a second isn't a lie.

And to put that in perspective, thats death due to 7 bullets. An AR can kill you 8 times in one Mag.

I'm curious to see individual load outs though, would you be interested in working with Arkena Wyrnspire and myself for more defined and specified data graphs? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3rd Place Winner of the Eight Thousand Suns

Our loadouts change faster than a Forge Gun can smash a Dropship. It'll be nasty difficult to track and pull metrics by gear, short of landing support by CCP. The best I can do is tell you who's a Scout Sniper and who isn't. I'm running AR now, by the way. Never felt so skilled in my FPS-overdosed life. :p - Shotty

I think we are getting better at adapting to the various Uprising builds.... I somehow don't think Scouts have hit rock bottom yet, we are a resilient bunch.

I was thinking exactly the same thing today. I generally don't include those who arrive mid-build for that exact reason. Also, ran our snipers at <10k and >10k (given the small sample size).

There is no way to adapt if Duvolle ARs drop us in under 1/2 second (from 0 to 75+ meters). We Scouts are very much looking forward to Dev Hugs, with high hopes that we may soon become viable in PC. Thank You, Shotty GoBang

AR's are a big problem this built. i didnt had a good cqc fight...90% of the time i have to play on open maps where my sg sucks and even when i manage to sneak upon some guys from behind my sg fails (blue shield 0 dmg) or i manage to kill one of them and the other sprays me to death in 0,5 secs...then i thought "**** it" and used a std AR @ lvl 1 and guess what...i never died, shreded through protos and felt like a god, even in my wimpy lese than 200 ehp suit...then i felt dirty and switched back to my sg.

In retrospect, Scout Suits could've been reduced in price following 1.2. The same for Heavy Suits following 1.4. I see only benefit in adding to the "hotfix" list temporary price concessions for things inadvertently broken. Such damage control measures would do much to garner Community confidence.
