Idk why people really complain about the scouts, I used the scout g.k0 for the first time yesterday and it was glorious.
How I fit it
1x Enhanced Shield Extender
Duvolle Assault Rifle Toxin SMG
Advanced Quantum Scanner
2x Complex Armor Plate 1x Advanced Range Extender 1x Enhanced Armor Repairer
Couldn't be scanned (I have level V in Profile Dampening), had a nice wide range of targets I could see on my radar, flanking with the Duvolle was a breeze. Went 28/4 in the first match (damn you heavies and bullet slow down effect), and 16/0 in the next.
If this is what being a proto scout is like, I'm DYING to get my hands on my proto Amarr Scout.

I feel you. I can definitely see the benefits of a speedier scout (especially at the proto level), but I was still in awe at being able to sprint at 7.24 m/s with nearly 500 aHP.

That was the point actually.
When you read over the stats for the Amarr Scout, it immediately jumps out as a light assault, NOT a scout per se. I wanted to fit this Scout g.k0 as closely to what I'd run on the Scout a.ko as I could since they have as similar slot layout (a.ko 2H 4L). I tried to make it as "light assault-ish) as possible so I can settle into my new suit easier once 1.8 drops.

Have you compared using basic and advanced to proto?
I ran the dragonfly basic and went 28/2 and advanced I went 16/12 but that was a match against a lot of tankers - just had a hard time crossing ground and sneaking around them.
No I didn't break - the change in playstyle and tactics was a welcomed change and I couldn't care less about KD/R really - it was just fun for once.

Now with all the buffs in 1.8 I'm afraid that the combat effectiveness might be too much and will make assaults obeslete.
We'll see.
I feel the same way.
As I stated above, the Amarr Scout really comes across as a light assault suit and I feel that many Amarr Assault players may swap to it. The Amarr scout is getting 170 armor at its base so with my skills that would bump it up to ~210 aHP - currently my Amarr Assault has 220 aHP base without plates.
