Wow. QQing something that hasn't even happened yet.

Congrats OP, you have reached a new low on the GD forum. I didn't think it could be done, but you have done it.

Now go back to using your perfectly balanced and not at all broken AR and run straight at people killing them in fractions of seconds. Thats not broken at all. No sir.

I don't really understand scouts saying they're getting **** on all the time. If you are then you're not doing it right. I can't tell you how many times I've been taken out by a scout who played to the strengths of the suit they were wearing. You know. Like a smart person. I also can't tell you how many times I've swatted an idiot scout out of my way because they ran right at me full force across some open area expecting to somehow Neo through my AR spray.

You guys are a paper-thin, speedy, small, suit type. Do what you can do or do what you can't and I'll keep killing you. I'm a medium gallente user. I stack as much armor as possible and as many damage mods as possible because I believe in the Gallente Mantra of Warfare: Get in close and shove as much plasma as possible into the enemy until they die and hope my armor holds out until then. I don't try and fight people 60m+ away from me with a ar thinking I'll win. I don't fight in wide open spaces because I know I'm not fast enough to find cover in time. I don't turn a corner, see a heavy, and stay... ok I do. But 3 complex damage mods on a CreoDron Breach AR kinda makes me toss the dice on that one.

My point is, suit doesn't need to be adjusted just because most of you play like idiots. Send a message to Fusion and ask for some tips instead. He's by far one of the best shotgun scouts I've ever seen. 58/3. Still trying to figure out how that **** happened.....

Fusion is a Scout, and I don't think he is even has SP in ARs, or any weapons other than shotguns, SMGs, and explosives. If he does, I've never seen him use anything else. That being said...

Just because Fusion makes it work doesn't make it proof that the Scout is balanced in any way. Fusion is one of the best Scouts in Dust, enough so that he is a special case. He runs full Proto in every game, almost always runs in a very capable full squad, and plays in a fashion that maximizes his volume of kills. The scout is objectively inferior to medium frame dropsuits. Nobody can get those kind of kills with a scout without full Proto and an ideal squad, while a Logi or Assault can do it much more consistently with a lot less. The Scout needs something, I don't really care whether or not it's a cloak, but I don't think it's a bad idea. All it needs to be is a quick equipment based way to get across open ground undetected or flank a group of enemies without being sniped or seen from a distance. It wouldn't be a problem to limit to scouts if they had a 100-300 CPU cost, and scouts had a ~90% CPU reduction. Meaning it would be possible to fit on other suits, but not beneficial. A moderate movement shimmer would prevent it from being used for CQC, while still being effective for preventing long range visual detection while flanking or hiding while a group of enemies pass by.
