Normally, I would finish out Minmitar scout without a doubt, but this patch has really got me thinking. Commando or scout?
Pros of going Minmitar scout:
It would let me easily make an insta-hack fit with the ability to put on 2x enhanced codebreakers + 25% hacking speed bonus. This would in turn help me out a ton in farming points on skirm, or capturing those much needed supply depots early in the game.
The 25% damage bonus to nova knives + proficiency V + 1x enhanced/Complex damage mods will result in a base damage of 290 with the ishukone nova knives and I'd pretty much one shot heavies using the charge.
They're extremely fast.
Fun to solo with.
Cons of going Minmitar scout:
I'm made of paper unless I stack complex shield extenders and have a ferroscale (very PG/CPU consuming) active.
They don't have any of the killer bonuses the other classes do (Cal. scouts will see EVERYTHING, Gallente are practically undetectable)
They're generally more difficult to be effective on.
________________________________________________________________
I could go Minmitar Commando.
My go-to fit with this was gonna basically be this (I absolutely love the concept of this idea):
2x Complex shield extenders
1x Enhanced armor plate
1x PG upgrade (**** it)
K17/D repping nanohives
Boundless Combat Rifle
either EXO-5 mass driver or Freedom with proficiency V
Pros of going Minimtar Commando:
It deals out a crapton of damage with the weapons I'm specced into, basically making the TTK nerfs nothing to me.
It still has a decent amount of HP, while being almost as fast as my proto logi fit (one kinetic catalyzer could fix that)
With the nanohives, I no longer need to worry about having an armor repairer, because **** that.
The mass driver is being given a buff plus the 25% base damage bonus I'm getting, plus the possible damage modifiers, it will pillage CQC sitautions and allow us to totally dominate the chocolate factory (silo domination map)
It's great for flanking and clearing out multiple enemies
I will get the bonus not only to the mass driver, but also the combat rifle, giving that a 25% overall damage bonus (15% from proficiency V will only apply to armor, however).
Cons of going Minmitar Commando
It's almost a damn glass cannon, but I'll be damned if it isn't effective as hell and dominant over all other commandos/assaults at CQC
The speed bonus won't matter much if I have armor plating
Only 44 base PG.
meh.

Go min scout then save for Commando. I look at the low HP as a reason to play more careful. I have always played too wreck less.
It makes me think about what I am doing more.

Oh, believe me I know. I am a shotgunning (or nova knifing on occasion) advanced scout. Being made of paper makes you very aware of your surroundings, staying profile dampened and flanking with that CreoDron is really deadly though.
meh.

Just went Proto Min Scout today with the 2 mil SP plus some other stuff. Honestly try the Min Commando at at least basic and see if you like it enough to keep leveling it up. |

Commando's don't get the reload bonus, that's the assault your thinking of. When I said 25% I was referring to proficiency V + the 10% racial bonus.

Min Scout at advance PG is a problem. There's also a problem with its 3-2 layout, means you can either choose speed or stealth and not both. It'll also leave you paper thin if you choose to use a dam mod on the high, 290-306 eHP if you can use 2 complex extenders isn't great.
Min Scout at Proto is a better story. 2 damps and a kin cat should work wonders.
Here's my problem, the Scout min has a bonus to NK which is a Cal weapon. So you skill into NK (Cal) and then Min NK come out and the bonus changes and you've wasted SP in a weapon which isn't racially correct. There will be different types which different attacks types which means this could be a serious problem later.
Hit detection problems, No PG reduction skill yet on NK, and it forces you into a weapon (a dif races weapon) means i will hold off on skilling into it. |

This is a great point, if you can try it out. See if you like it. |

I believe the minmitar is still receiving a bonus to NKs, but is also receiving a hacking bonus now.

commandos get the 25% reload AND 10% damage to their racial weapons. |

Do you want to win ambushes, or skirmishes.
That's the only question you need ask.
No.

While tactics are getting a big buff in 1.8 slaying is still important. With the Mass Driver you will be able to punish people who think they are going to shield skirmish you like they would Sentinels. No need to comment on the Combat Rifle. The only downside is your heart seems to lean towards the Minja. So my advice is weight what you simply enjoy playing verses which option will reach your goals. Define that and no SP will be wasted on your decision.
Here, have some candy and a Like. :-)

Right. I like the way you put it.
Scouts tend to stick to objectives. I can see a scout in a CQC socket in Ambush to flank, but most are open area so you'll have no dice there (well, it's not certain. Perhaps you can still pull it off).
Commando is more firepower.
Scout is movement and stealth. |
