Sniper is officially meant to be a Scout role.

Shotgun Scouts are another popular build that CCP have encouraged players to use.

Your proposal completely eliminates two VERY IMPORTANT Scout roles.

No thank you.

to me, this just seems like a crappy version of the logi. most scouts i know prefer a sidearm over a light weapon anyway. so doesn't having 2 sidearms make more sense?

another idea, would be have 2 weapon slots available, but adding a light weapon to either slot, cancels out the remaing weapon slot. whereas, adding a sidearm to one slot, does allow you to add a second sidearm to the "other" weapon slot.


i myself am no scout, but im pretty sure trading your sidearm for a second eq slot, is a terrible tradeoff. another good idea ive seen, is the minmatar scout ends up keeping 2 weapon slots and 1 eq slot, and becomes the "combat scout"
( ie amarr logi = combat logi )


disclaimer...i know none of this is confirmed 100%, im merely suggesting ideas, and speculating.

did you even read the link? smh

you're losing your sidearm, i dont know many people who snipe or shotgun without a sidearm, but if you're one of them, thanks for the 50 wp

Imo, I see more Logis sniping then any other class. Complex damage mods in the highs, and armor stacking the lows... Thales and 3 nanohives...

I frequently Shotgun without a Sidearm, and rarely die without taking at least 2 people with me. You enjoy your 50, I'm happy with my 100+, thanks.

And against a Sniper with good situational awareness, good luck finding them when they've got a cloak - they'll be invisible by the time you get close enough to matter. You know that's why we're getting the extra equipment slot, right? It goes with a fitting bonus that will be practically required to use the beautiful new item we're getting to play with.

cloak =/= dampened

ill find you just as before. "YOU'VE BEEN SCANNED"

amarr logi using cloak (with better passive equipment bonus) >>> 1 weapon scout using cloak

They also confirmed our Profile is being reduced, and I don't need a Sidearm OR Equipment slot for those Profile Dampeners.

"Scan Attempt Prevented"

so what setup beats the duvolle focused again? your passive reduction will be a drop in the bucket, when im scanning under 20db's. you just dont get it kid, scouts are about to become even worse.

quick question, how much health will you have after you apply enough dampeners to get under 15db?

also, its "SCAN ATTEMPT PREVENTED"

I run 4 Complex dampeners to have a scan profile of like 10db's lol, sweet sweet back stabbing

thats to much to give up, for me anyways.

me too, but these types of players are easy kills, i dont even take these people into consideration. they're just redline scrubs, not snipers who actually contribute anything

The Scout is being reworked as a CovOps role. I think two sidearm slots would potentially fit nicely with a super awesome cloaking ability, especially if every race had their own short and long range option to choose from. There's nothing that says a Scout has to use a sniper rifle, or against adding a new light frame Role with Sniper rifle bonuses that maybe could use a less than awesome cloak. See here for details.

Adapt or die, as they say in EVE.

Honestly, I really hope they don't gimp the scout further by taking away its sidearm slot... They should receive their extra equipment slot and keep their side arm for Nova knives

You know, unless they go back to the old scout layout... 3 Equipment slots for proto
