Scouts are not Assault. They are not Heavy. They are light. Fast. Fragile. I do not believe they need a health boost.
I'm not sure about the others here, but I do not have an issue suiting up my Gallente Scout. The Scouts were not meant for the front lines. Doing otherwise is the same as a lone heavy out in the open. Terrible.
When using the Scout, use it as a team player role, not a pretend Assault. Flank, don't charge. Duck behind cover, don't jump over it. Stay out of sight. These are the things to go by when running Scout. In 1.3, they said the Shotgun Scout was terrible. I scoffed at them and did it anyways, running only standard or less. 10+ every Ambush. Every.
Something is off about the 1.4 shotgun, in my opinion. I feel as though it doesn't work as it did before. That sure as **** doesn't stop my own Scout from melee raping people.
They could do with a small increase in speed, not health. |

With the raising prominence of active scanners scouts aren't stealthy any more you have to invest quite some SP to bypass even the advanced scanner (AUR) or the Protoscanner bypassing the Focused Active Scanner is nearly impossible with a reasonable fit.
- So we can not scout better than medium suits
- we aren't reasonable faster than medium suits
- And thanks to active scanners we can't flank very good and LOS always catches us
- The shot gun still doesn't work right and with a useless proficiency skill the SG is not able to compete at CQC.
I agree that the scanning has been a tremendous blow towards the scouts.
... For those that don't lure.
I don't run dampeners on any of my suits. I will run something like, say Cardiac Regulator and Kinetic Catalyzer. You may see me, but I'll be damned if you can catch my Motocross lookin' ass. Scouts are not useless.
Just know that the Scout is often a one way ticket. Accept the suit as a token of good faith and an acceptance of death, for it is only the Scout that is so intimate with death so often.
Added note: As mentioned elsewhere, WP is going to be coming to Scouts way soon.
Added note, part 2: It's funny to see people trying to chase my Scout down. Some get me, some don't. Win some, lose some. Still funny to me though. |
