Xander Mercy Dem Durrty Boyz Dirt Nap Squad. 360	Posted - 2014.03.29 11:59:00 - [1] - Quote it would screw over shield scouts WAY MORE then armor scouts to the point that it would be completely unbalanced between the two I don't like the Amarr but boy do they have style

Maybe the cloak is just your crutch, and you're afraid to have something that can counter it? im an amarr player flux grenades mean nothing to me my scout only has 75 shield. im just unbiased. think about it if me and a caldari scout both get hit by a flux while cloaked i would still be able to fight back a but he'd be waiting for a stray bullet to graze his leg and kill him.

Well if he was being stealthy, he probably would kill the enemy before the flux grenade lands. Otherwise, he gets the hell out of there until his shields come back. Should flux grenades no longer hurt shields? I'm sorry but I have little sympathy for cloak users who don't want a direct countermeasure. i never said fluw shouldn't hurt shields? i said it shouldn't just auto turn off cloak because its unfair for the shield scout. i also never said there shouldn't be a counter to cloaks I don't like the Amarr but boy do they have style

It still causes them problems and now they have to consider leaving... a swarm of fluxes would kick him out of cloak but overall leaves scouts in a position where flux isnt instant iwin. I really hate the idea of scouts just sitting around cloaked waiting... It would be nice if people had something to keep them from camping objectives. I would also support this working on anything that has a charge in the future (like active scanners). Its kind of an ewar grenade, or its turned into one. I would also lower its shield damage though, or its radius. Far too powerful against shield users imo (enough to make me go armor with the DSC refund) i always thought they were to strong at the standard and advance level same for RE's I don't like the Amarr but boy do they have style

Spotting a moving cloaked scout isn't difficult. A scout with the discipline to know exactly when to stay perfectly still however, is a different matter. nothing funnier then watching a red dot walk right into me then start shooting wildly trying to hit me I don't like the Amarr but boy do they have style
