I guess it will depend skill but with heavies able to reach about 1000 total shields and armor plus resistance to damage how many shots of the shotgun will it take to kill them. Probably 3 to 7 depending on the heavy but the point is they can do a 360 and kill you in 5 seconds :/ not to mention all the proto focused duvoille scanners x.x

Surprise sex... I mean headshots... Basically the same thing.....
Oh and if you are smart you will note the Heavy type and avoid those with weapon resistances to your weapons.
A would be logi looking for heavies in all the wrong places.

Considering the 75% total bonus reduction to CPU and PG usage that scouts will get, I bet scouts will be effective with it.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

The key will be using heavy hitting weapons or combos. Breach shotgun with damage mods, remote explosives, charged Ion Pistol+combat rifle, Flux then normal shotgun, knova knives, scram pistol, ion pistol or bolt pistol head shots. ect. I really dont think ninja killing is going to be a problem. Proto Gal scanners maybe a problem tho. |

Don't attack heavies then.... As a scout while you can be combat effective I have found gameplay more entertaining and enjoyable when I never have to engage and enemy at all, and still can disrupt their lines, hack their assets, and trap their points with explosives.

When a Heavy spots me I just stand very still or hide behind the many trees in Dust...
That or I play dead and hope they don't eat me in my delicious Scout suit. |

Perfect song for a ruthless mercenary scout.
"Covered in sinners you're dripping with guilt. Making you money from slime and from filth. Parading you belies ivory towers. Investing our lives in your schemes and you powers.
You've got to watch them. be quich or be dead. Snake eyes in heaven. The thief in your head."
Be quick or be dead"

I was afride that we wouldn't be good unless we ran cloaks, but it seems CCP isn't out to throw a bandaid on a broken arm and are actually trying to fix scouts.
However, I think people will abuse my Gallente scout and put 4 basic plates on it.

Scouts will have cloaks
2 Equipment slots (so probably cloak + Active scanner or R/E)
Even Basic Frames will have Db of 35 (o by default avoids A.Scanners of ADV level unless its a Gallente logi of high level)
6 Slots , all races
Up to 3 bonus per scout (except AMARR of coruse)
Its not a matter if the SCOUT SUITS will be good or not compared to other dropsuits.
Is a matter of scout PLAYERS being used to being Underpowered by now, and STILL we have excellent scouts like Radar, Mr Musturd, Jolly Roger,etc... and even mediocre ones like myself can go 50-5 in any skirmish match playing alone with a 250 HP scout... this is with the Scout suits we have now.
So just imagine what these suits can do for us...and to you....

There is something to be said about attacking an armies weak point,
if you have doubts, just choose another target

Word of advice: avoid the cloak until the third hotfix.
When they first release the cloak it will break your character so that it dies instantly, or can't move, or can't shoot.
The first fix will let you move again but the cloak will actually make you more visible.
The second fix will nerf it to only last 0.5 seconds, because even though it doesn't work the entire forum will scream that it's OP.
The third fix will have it working perfectly.
I need a break from Dust! I'll just go hop on the forums...
