DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 3728	Posted - 2014.01.31 05:55:00 - [1] - Quote Around two months back I skilled into shotguns, knives and the Gallante Scout suit. I did it because I could no longer fight effectively with the Swarm Launcher and Minmatar Assault I had earlier. I thought it was going to be incredibly hard, considering how much people complain. Though, I find them surprisingly easier to operate in. This is because of Scanners. I don't care how good you are, or say you are, you won't survive against 6 players with proto gear that are all chasing you down because they scanned you. This is especially true if you play solo like I do. Now everytime I play something that is not a scout suit I get scanned and completely murdered by 3+ guys shooting me at the same time. Yet I can walk right around them in a scout suit and survive, and even shotgun them all down before they even see me. My Proto Minmatar Suit with 3 the HP can't even get half as many kills as my standard scout suit.

The buff they got was needed. I use to think the same thing. But you will need to sacrifice two low slots to run dampeners and two more to a cardiac regulator and kinetic catalyzer. And yet, you still will not match me in jumping ability, nor profile dampening and you will never match me in walking speed. Also, at top levels I will get better dampening by running one standard dampener than you could with running three Complex; I would have more slots and more CPU/PG to run armor and damage modifiers. And come 1.8, I will automatically avoid advanced scanners. Check & mate. My alts: General John Ripper, Draxus Prime, MoonEagle A, Anarchide, Long Evity And this is why I am the #1 forum warrior

The Gallente Scout, compared to the Minmatar Scout, is easy mode. I was going to run the Minmatar Scout as it would allow me to run more armor. This is because I can run an Enhanced Armor mod and Enhanced Reactive Plate and still be faster than the Gallante Scout. I decided against it because I would need to run dampeners anyway so that would not allow me to effectively armor tank while maintaining stealth.

Crossing open areas is like...nope But scout suits are the greatest lonewolf suits hands down, due to stealth and omniscience. However I'll be damned if I come across any more dampened Assault C.k0s. They are the bane of a scout as well as other scouts....and HMGs. Rifle Changes: DPS, range, and damage

LOL you need dampeners to evade ADV scans I need only one militia dampener to avoid proto scans except focused which are terribly biased against a scout. No scout should need 4 complex dampeners.... But honestly I have enhanced plated scouts and they have a relatively high armor count for a scout so it's like running a ***** stealth medium frame which is honestly much easier than running no HP scouts. My no HP fits are effective but hyper-niche, the moment I'm caught out in the open is the moment I am dead. Rifle Changes: DPS, range, and damage
Denak Kalamari Intaki Liberation Front Intaki Prosperity Initiative 972	Posted - 2014.01.31 07:11:00 - [16] - Quote The problem here really is that people are relying on their scanners too much now, even the protostompers who use prototype scanners rely solely on the information it provides. When you have invested into the scout suits and profile dampening to avoid these scanners, it suddenly gets a lot easier to sneak behind enemies. Seeing those bright glowing red dots on the map seem to be really mesmerizing, making everyone chase them and ignore everything else. If you know your way around maps, getting behind red dots who are focusing on your buddies starts getting really easy. Even if their teammates are dying right behind them, they keep firing at your buddies, allowing you to slaughter everyone before they even realize what's going on. Added with the fact that scouts can never be passively scanned unless you're using ridicilous complex precision enhancer fits, I could run around red dots and they will never see me coming unless they point their crosshairs at me. Heck, I've had times when I've walked right past red dots and they ignored me completely, because I wasn't showing up red on their radar or tacnet. The problem really lies in the fact that even with all of this, investing in profile dampening, learning the maps and taking all the effort to sneak behind enemies, as soon as someone sees you you're dead. And really, the issue isn't that scouts aren't hard to use when you've invested enough skills into them, it's the fact that how much effort it takes before you can get there. When you have to invest over 4 million SP to your scout skills and profile dampening, and sacrifice health/utility modules to avoid advanced scanners, a logi can just invest under a million SP and use one of their equipment slots to use a proto scanner, forcing you to use even more SP to max out your scout suits and dampening.

I've regularly been getting 25-30 kills and <10 deaths... and a bad game has me only slightly over a 1:1 ratio. Is this a bad result? or are you just suggesting I'd do much better with a scout

Maken Tosch Edimmu Warfighters Gallente Federation 6658	Posted - 2014.01.31 07:24:00 - [21] - Quote The Gallente scout gives you all around bonuses to both profile dampening and passive scan range. I have an alt standing by that has moderately high passive scan range on a Gallente Scout Gk.0 and I can already see up to 60 meters with just enhanced range amps. And since passive scanning at that level makes active scanners unnecessary for the Scout Gk.0, I can see every suit in the field except another scout. There is also the additional benefit of NOT alerting the enemy since passive scanning doesn't reveal your position in any way. The Gallente Scout is a triple threat.

Son-Of A-Gun 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 1077	Posted - 2014.01.31 07:42:00 - [22] - Quote Also, I think that the buff to scout slots has more to do with the buffs that are being done to the other suit classes. All assaults are getting RoF increase + buffer increase or increase to damage output (Minmatar). All sentinels are getting a huge resistance increase. Commandos are getting a damage output increase. You can't do these kind of buffs and just leave the scouts the way they are. I still have reservations that the scout buff may not be enough given the magnitude of the buffs to the other classes. Only time will tell. {:)}{3GÇó>

By accident I got in a squad with MakiMaki from NyanSan, seeing him how he was murdering people in a scout suit and hear him explain how he runs it. I thought like why not I still got like 70 black eagle's, lets try it. I thought I would be gang raped with only 300 EHP. I actually did way better and in general I'm getting way more kills as a scout then my slayer fits with over 700 EHP. I dont have any points in scout suits so after I ran out of black eagle's, I bought the LP min basic scout suit and LP gal basic shotty. With just the basic suit and no skillpoints in scout suits and just an advanced dampner I barely get scanned. If we get a respecc I'll definitly gonna put some points into a cal scout.

Very true. IF some Scout invest all his sp in to dampening - it work for him temporary, as soon he is spotted, he is dead. If Assault invest all his sp in to tanking skills, as soon he is spotted, he have plenty time to defend himself. Skills are not equal to other skills in this game.

I made a beast cal assault suit with 9.18 sprint speed with more stamina than a scout and 530+ shields with a proto weapon. needless to say, it was a lot easier to get decent scores than scouting, though I wasn't able to achieve the very high scores I can with my scout suit. this is probably because I've been running scout for so long, that I've adjusted to it over other suits.

Currently a lot of players have grown accustomed to their active scanners displaying all enemies. When more people start using scouts, players will adjust and start paying attention to their surroundings again, and the scan profile won't be that much of an advantage.

Ghost Kaisar Titans of Phoenix Legacy Rising 2490	Posted - 2014.01.31 18:51:00 - [39] - Quote Scouts being FOTM will be dependent on how bad the scanner nerf will be. The only reason they are viable right now is because of the ability to dodge the 24/7 scanning going on right now. People are so dependent on it, that they become easy prey when they don't have something scanned. If the scanners work more opportunistically (used to scout objectives before going in, or to figure out if there is a squad around that corner), instead of them being the wall-hack they are now, the other assault suits should still be more viable as a frontline suit due to their increased bulk and damage dealing potential. That's at least what I think.. Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face. Minmatar. In Rust we trust.

Awesome now, OP soon. Not gonna happen. Considering the buffs that the other classes will get, the scout will just be awesome rather than OP. In fact, I expect to see a lot of scout-wannabes running around trying to use the use it like an assault and dying a lot not knowing the proper way to do it like the pros do. which is flanking and cover, right? It sounds stupidly simple, I know. But it's surprisingly overlooked by scout-wannabes. Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer *CLOSED BETA VETERAN SINCE REPLICATION BUILD*
