The Amarr Light/Scout suit yes...
The bonus gets criticized but it's going to be awesome
Sprinting to multiple objectives without stopping for breath

2 H
4 L
The highest base HP/stamina/stamina regen in scout class
With a bonus to stamina, alleviating the need for Cardiac Regulators
So thats 4 low slots on a decent starting HP....

With this layout the Amarr scout can have the best HP and a very good DMG out-put
Personally I think everyone is fussing over nothing....
The Amarr Scout will fulfill a combat role, like the Matari Scout
Without the disadvantage of lacking low slots for speed/dampening/repair/armour
And still having 2 high slots, to enhance DMG or HP

Depending on Matari scout layout, I'm strongly considering the Amarr
As I feel it will have more advantages than the suicidal Matari equivalent
And may benefit from cloaking more than the Matari as the lows slots on Amarr
Can be used to buff overall fitting cost.... You people are crazy

Amarr scout will be a 'slayer' scout, once player-base realizes that Boom! FOTM

Just a note to all those you QQ'd about its stats/bonus

I think it looks bad on paper, but we will see once 1.8 drops

Agreed, I've been building/going over excel spreadsheets so much that my eyes bleed, trying to predict the Flavor of the build come 1.8GǪ

Too much is changing for my poor analytical skills to make more than a guess at that. There is just no way for my poor skills to do better until after 1.8 hits and the period of 'new shininess' wears offGǪ

Although, personally I do think that many players are underestimating all of the new bonusesGǪ

It's a scout with 10 less armor than most medium frames start with

Scouts have 2 strengths: Sensors and Speed.
The Gallente scout will be Sensory strong and Regenerative strong (fastest self repping abilities)
The Caldari scout will be Sensory strong and shield regenerative strong (2 second shield delay!)
The Minmatar is like bat out of hell speed: hacking and sprint
But the Amarr? Stamina Regen abilities and tanking?

See the Amarr Scout does not fit contextually with the others, in fact since beta we were debating on how an Amarr scout would even work. But you see I understand now.

Imagine you have a squad of medium frames with Cloaks and and really strong endurance qualities....that's a squad of Amarr Scouts. No one is going to be able to play them like speed freak scouts, so you have to play it like undetectable medium frames, considering you have 230 HP naturally and 287.5 with max armor and shield skills.

The Amarr scout is practically the stealthiest medium frame you can have, and with the best scan stats too. You'd use the Amarr scout for the same reason you'd use the Amarr medium frame, HP for the long haul + Stamina to match.
