Dampeners are low slots. If you are going to complain get the facts straight first.
I have by default militia or basic dampeners on all my active fits.
So MLT armour, rep and damp.

I see, it really makes no difference because any competent player needs the CPU upgrade.

You need to STFU little forum trash. I made a mistake but really makes no difference. Dampeners still are not worth it

Scanners shouldn't be a problem. I've had plenty of people scan me and know my EXACT location, but it doesn't matter to me. They come around and find me and I'll KILL ON SIGHT. Like I said in some other forums, it's not always about the gear, it's the player's skill also. A player could have the best scanner in DUST and wouldn't know how to use it properly. Think about that.

It's their choice to use a scanner that only shows you for 2 seconds with a 30 second cool down(not worth it except when against a squad of scouts).

I do run dampeners on my suit. I have L3 dampening skill, as well as a basic and enhanced dampener in my low slots to beat advanced scanners. However, since I run a Raven suit in pubs/FW, that means I can't repair myself. i have to use a compact nanohive to get any armor reps.
I haven't done PC battling in a long time, but being able to rep your armor passively was a necessity even then. Since the CPU and PG was dropped, my suit has also needed a CPU upgrade to do anything useful for competitive battles.
Even with all of the "required" skills and equipment to complain, it feels unfair to compete in such a lopsided battle against scanners. On top of that, I am fighting a battle that I can not possibly win no matter what I do. With proto scanners in game, it wouldn't matter if I fit all three low slots with complex dampeners at level five damp skill (whatever its called).
I understand the importance of giving every role a niche. But there is also value in having multiple ways to counter a threat. Not "I hope you're in a Galente Scout suit" as the only option.

I'm lucky to be in a logi suit that only has to use one complex dampener to barely get under adv scaners.
Assaults need at least two dampeners just for adv, and even more if they want to beat proto scanners. There also isn't any way to counter scanners, like a radar or TacNet jammer...so yes there is a problem with the dB system and dampeners...maybe not scanners themselves
Honestly, dampeners need to be changed so that one complex will allow any medium suit to get under adv, and any scout to get under proto.

There's one way past it, get a proto logi, grab a Creodron Focused Active Scanner and swap weapon and switch equipment until that scanner is so jumbled into your scrambler rifle, that whenever you fire it also scans. 15 db scan for 100 meters CONSTANT. No proto scout with complex dampeners will be able to hide. |

I find them a fantastic way of staying off of enemy scanners, I fully suggest using them.
The problem isn't the advanced level scanner...its the prototype one that could scan the signature of an ant. Which can be spammed nonstop, killing any chance of stealth.

It is really easy to get your profile down below 36 DB. They would just rather stack armor. How many dampeners does it take to get below a proto scanner? Issue goes a little beyond pub matches.
Two complex dampeners will get you under 4 of the 5 proto scanners. As for the 5th proto scanner...... its just not worth it dude.

There is one thing that I think should be removed the some margin of error message. Even though you cant be painted we still know your there. Kinda spoils the stealth element. |

I find them a fantastic way of staying off of enemy scanners, I fully suggest using them. I use a Lv3 Scout with Lv5 Prof Damp. And i still get Scanned.Use A Med frame,say Amarr Logi A/1 series? with 2 Cx Dam Mods? And i still get scanned.
Lvl 5 Dampening + 2 Comp. Dampening Mods, on an Amarr Logi, gets you a Profile of 27db.
