Dexter307 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar 1082	Posted - 2014.03.19 05:17:00 - [1] - Quote With the shotgun being nerfed in 1.8 im having a hard time deciding on a new weapon. I though about nova knifes but then i would have to go minmatar scout Mabey the plasma cannon?
Kasote Denzara A Vulture 1954	Posted - 2014.03.19 05:18:00 - [2] - Quote What shotgun nerf? "Go ahead and dual tank. My Commando dual ganks." -Kasote Denzara I'm waiting for my G-I suit. It's what I want.

Shotgun proficiency is changing from +3% ROF to +3% shield damage This means the shotgun will not be able to kill heavies in 1.8 as they will be able to turn around before you can shoot the 4 shots it takes to kill them

The shotgun is, after all, Gallentean and is a blaster. You realize exactly how much of a boost that anti-shield bonus is, right? It's going to devastate shields, as it should. This will give the Breach variant a lot more tempting use than in 1.7, you know. As a Commando runner, I'll gladly take that shield damage over the rate of fire. Not only am I getting a boost from the Commando skill, but also Prof.? **** yeah. So no, it's actually not a nerf. "Go ahead and dual tank.

You obviously dont use the shotgun Anyone who skilled up the shotgun knows how terrible of a bonus this is. The shotgun would need to 1 hit kill most suits and 2 hit kill heavys with this bonus for it to be worth it.
Brokerib Lone Wolves Club 778	Posted - 2014.03.19 05:34:00 - [7] - Quote Nova knives, scrambler pistol, and maybe the mag sec on the side arm? Scrambler rifle for the charge shot on light? Maybe even the lazorz rifle or MD? The only ones I'm banking on are NK and ScP. Knowledge is power

(I dare you :P) I thought of that to...but I would have a hard time making a gallente scout flexible if I was brick tanking and I do not know if I can go beyond my EHP with Gallente Assault while maintaining a higher speed...still the low scan signature is useful but I do not know if it that really goes along better than just pulling out a combat rifle or shotgun.

Beck Weathers Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 846	Posted - 2014.03.19 05:37:00 - [9] - Quote Acr is my got to current scout weapon... not sure after 1.8 These forums must be located in the Californin country side, there is whine as far as the eye can see.
TranquilBiscuit ofVaLoR Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 1749	Posted - 2014.03.19 05:38:00 - [10] - Quote try the Carthum Assault ScP (best weapon in this game) and the Kaalakiota Magsec SMG (likely 2nd best weapon in the game) combo. any good scout knows how good ScPs are, and it's probably going to be the same for Magsec SMGs. Anime > EVERYTHING

The shotgun would need to 1 hit kill most suits and 2 hit kill heavys with this bonus for it to be worth it. Actually, I use a standard on the 'Dragonfly' Scout. It's easily able to bring down anything that isn't a Sentinel within a couple of shots. It takes something a bit stronger to crack the Sentinels before they can react. No, I don't brick tank a light frame. I find the concept silly. I actually use Dampeners on my Scout suits. You're not using the shotgun right if you really believe rate of fire is what the shotgun needs. I'm also going to go out of my way and assume you have never used the Breach. The Breach is the only shotgun that benefits with rate of fire to a considerable amount. However, high rate of fire implies that you will need multiple shots in a short amount of time. Damage, on the other hand, implies that you will be doing a lot of damage and thusly will not need to shoot multiple times quickly. That's the fundamental difference between sheer power and speed.

Scout Registry Nos Nothi 1600	Posted - 2014.03.19 05:40:00 - [13] - Quote NKs REs ScPs Edit: Haven't given up on Shotguns yet. No telling what they might "ninja" in with the RoF change.
Vitharr Foebane Living Like Larry Schwag 794	Posted - 2014.03.19 05:43:00 - [14] - Quote amarr "scout" with laser rifle if they get too close just cloak und run away xD Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3 That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=

Hit my ScP stride at Operation V, Prof III. Solid weapon. Limited ammo. I personally prefer the TT-3, but both Appia and Bojo will tell you I'm doing it wrong :P

BARDAS Shining Flame Amarr Empire 818	Posted - 2014.03.19 06:34:00 - [21] - Quote I guessing it depends on how you are running your Scout. I can see Combat Rifle/Magsec being a good combo for the armor tanking scouts like Gallente and Amarr. That will probably be how i'm going to roll when I switch to Gallente Scout in 1.8. The only thing that would tempt me to stay Minmatar is my Knife SP prof 5 and the fact that its probably going to be the only way to 1 vs 1 a Heavy unless you RE them. I kind of regret the points I put into Shotgun now, but will probably still use it from time to time.

noobsniper the 2nd OLDSPICE. Top Men. 287	Posted - 2014.03.19 06:49:00 - [23] - Quote Magsec nk or magsec sniper rifle? Would be kool being able to nail ppl,long range with sniper but still have high punch up close with a magsec smg just call me communist space king noob MAG vet raven ftw Pre 1.8 scout don't throw me in with that rift raft
COVERT SUBTERFUGE PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 675	Posted - 2014.03.19 07:15:00 - [24] - Quote I'ma stick with CR and NK. My perfect combo. Proud Minmatar scout - Republic Merc 6/10 Immune to bitter/jaded vet syndrome Roll with the punches instead of QQing
Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 961	Posted - 2014.03.19 08:06:00 - [25] - Quote SMG and Knives for me My 'Syndie' has always been my trusted ally along with the ASMG's Thinking of the Ion for a little verity. I dislike shotguns in most games and the Dust one sounds like a stapler. If we do get racial SG's (I don't really see the point but anyhoo) and the Minmatar one sounds meaty I will try it out.

Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1731	Posted - 2014.03.19 08:10:00 - [26] - Quote CR + ScP Shotgun + SMG/Magsec/Bolt pistol Scrambler + SMG/Magsec/Bolt pistol REs Drop it like its hat.
Yan Darn Forsaken Immortals Top Men. 357	Posted - 2014.03.19 08:36:00 - [27] - Quote Gonna stick with Shotgun/ScP/Fluxes/REs. If only the meta was still about shields... Seriously though, I will try adapting first, since Id rather spend that 2-3mil (not sure if my omega booster was activated in time...) finishing off precision and hacking. I'm very tempted not to skill up any weapons until I hear what is happening in the next patch - maybe that 2mil in ARs will pay off when they make Breach ARs viable - all I know is that I don't want to be boring and skill into another rifle.

I really wish I had the Syndicate SMG on my Matari pride n joy...I hope to get one when the market opens up. I kind of want to use NKs on my Caldari scout but knowing that it doesn't have that 25% matari badassness going on it puts me off. Might go Magsec and something on him. CR and NK will always be my fav combo though. I'm most at home with the CR and is a very versatile gun and I think the combo gives me the perfect range of combative options and advantages should I choose to engage in combat. They will be getting a bit of a rest come 1.8 with lower profile and cloaking as I shall be merciful and leave you on your merry way as I go on mine to stab stab hack. CR just looks awesome too, by far my favorite design of the 4 rifles. Proud Minmatar scout - Republic Merc 6/10 Immune to bitter/jaded vet syndrome Roll with the punches instead of QQing
Billi Gene 516	Posted - 2014.03.19 09:00:00 - [29] - Quote im undecided on which scout suit /s i might want... as for weapons/equipment: scrambler rifle(charge)//bolt pistol or magsec-/-scan/links or ion pistol//bolt pistol-/-cloaky/remotes the ole 1-2, take out shields then burst down armor. Engagement range being the variable. probs still use shotty but unsure, hence why not sure about the scrambler rifle. Pedant, Ape, Troll. My Beard makes Alpha's sook :P
Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 2188	Posted - 2014.03.19 09:08:00 - [30] - Quote During the heavy event I started getting teased by my squad mates for using my HMG as a finisher for my ScP. Yeah, they're that good. Real men do it with missiles. "True says I have to let Lorhak yell at people in PIE GC from now on."
