Uh. No.

While cloaked with NO dampeners, a scout will avoid all scans except for Proto Gallente Scans.

While uncloaked with ONE Complex Profile damp, a scout will avoid all scans except for Proto Gallente.

If you have both a cloak AND a Complex Profile damp, a scout will avoid everything except for Proto Gal Focused Scans.

Your argument is only correct when going against a scout with no dampeners OR cloak. In which you will be scanned by Proto Normal Scans and Adv Gal Scans.

TL;DR
A scout can dodge a vast majority of scans with only 1 complex dampener. It can dodge every scan except for one if it uses a cloak and a complex damp.

So you're saying Minmatar have to use all 3 of their lows to dodge proto scans, (asuming they aren't using retardedly expensive cloaks) when gal get away with using half their slots, with no need of an armor repper, so they have 2 empty lows for anything they want. Balance.

Caldari heavy recharge rate: 30hp/s.
Caldari scout recharge rate: 50hp/s
Caldari Assault propable recharge rate: 40hp/s

Current Caldari assault + Recharge bonus = 31hp/s.

Caldari heavies have a 1 second depleted recharge time, which means that even though fluxes will be flying around, they will start recharging uber quickly.

Simply by the stats the gallente is the second worst or worst scout. It has overall weaker stats. Yes it has a build in 3HP/sec amor rep bohoo look at the caldari 50hp/sec out of the box for shields and pretty neat shield stats. The minni has outright the most flexible slot layout with more speed and stamina. The amarr has good amor and very good stamina and stamina recharge.

Their ARs are terrible now. Might as well make up for it.

Dont know what you are smoking.

Dampening plus scan range plus 4 low slots plus the rep with also the ability to be the fastest if they want to.

I think you are the first to see it this way.

1. Minmatar Heavy's sprint speed is actually pretty fast, especially with one sprint mod you're already running as fast as a well tanked assault. Gallente slot loadout at adv is 1/3 whereas the minmatar is 2/2. This means that you'll be able to be much more veratile with fittings on a minmatar heavy than you would on a gallente one, which is the biggest advantage the minmatar have. Maybe on paper it's not balanced, but the extra versatility and mobility they get is just as good as EHP.

2. Gallente Heavies might have 4 lows at proto, but so do the current Amarr sentinels...and you know how much logistics support a heavy with that much armor needs. The 1hp per second armor repair is almost nothing.

3. Caldari Heavy depleted recharge is a typo. Unless a dev has already given us the actual number, it won't have a 1 second shield depleted recharge. Why the heck is the depleted recharge faster than the standard one? Also, even if it was only 1 second, then why does the scout have a longer one? All of the scouts have shorter shield delays than the medium/heavy frames, so this proves the depleted recharge is definitely not correct.

4. The scanner bonus is hardly worth anything seeing as how 95% of the playerbase doesn't run in dampened suits. The scanner is also getting a nerf, meaning that scouts behind you will probably still be able to be undetected due to the new mechanics of the scanner.

I said can be the fastest.

Most probably wont run that but you could run 2 KC and stamina and range with a shield and precision. Their precision is good enough unless everyone is going to be a Gal Scout after 1.8

I think the suit is slightly ahead of the rest and I'm willing to wait a couple of months to see how things fall out. But to poo poo it and say its the worse or that its mix of bonuses arent that special - dont see it that way.

IMO most versatile and maybe the best all around if its CPU doesnt hold it back but once again - low slots.

Joke thread?

Seriously, what are you smoking?

Before bonuses:

Amarr will have 30 eHP over standard, and slightly more stamina/recovery and less speed.

Minmatar will have 20 less ehp than standard, and slightly more stamina/recovery/speed/hacking.

With bonuses:

Amarr will have 2/3rds of a militia cardiac regulator

Minmatar will have 1 complex code breaker and the equivelent of 3 complex dmg mods for nova knives.

The amarrian scout will be HORRIBLE. The min scout will be amazing (throw on a cloak, ohko everyone with knives)

The amarrian bonuses for assault and commando are horrible:

Reload speed? useless

Repper effeciency? useless

OH and the sentinel tanking bonuses? well half of the bonus is wasted on shield for NO GOOD REASON.

Yep, amarr will officially be the WORST suits across all of dust after the update.
