So I was running my regular suit.

Flux Grenades

Advanced Cloak
Remote Explosives

Complex Kin Cat
Basic Armour Rep

I had previously read the forums an hour earlier about how dreadful brick tanked scouts were. In each ambush game I ran into about 1-3 cloaked scouts with shotguns at different points in the games and I noticed something. None of them were brick tanked. I could easily dispose of them with 2-4 rounds of my Mass Driver. Granted I died once or twice to one of them but they weren't generally a problem.

So it got me thinking, people on the forum love to complain. They absolutely love the complaining and watching those lovely lovely likes build up in the corner BUT is this moaning actually from the game or have people just looked at the stats and thought "Hang on you could possibly do this!" and yet not actually met many if any bricked tanked scouts in-game.

In theory, a bricked scout is good but in practice I have yet to meet a scout that has won 1v1 due to his large amount of health.

Also any suggestions on how to possibly improve my fit I would happily consider Smile

P.S.
My scout has 80 armour. I went 35/2 in one of those ambushes and only cloaked twice. Should that armour of mine be nerfed?

Probialy because most scouts skills beside amarr shine with none tank mods, like minmatar with kincats, caldari with scan range amps, and galente with armor reps. These forums must be located in the Californin country side, there is whine as far as the eye can see.

Yes I do remember lol. 7 deaths to you or something. You had the upper hand though. You had your own tank to jump in & out of and an annoyingly good passive scan. Then to place me even lower down the ladder you were shield tanked and I was using a MD. :) I think its actually a shield energizer but min scouts have huge cpu but barely any PG.

Lol Yeah imo i loose almost all shield after your first MD shoot. If i wouldnt kill you egnouth fast, you would 2shoot me :]. Nvm today i swamped CR with ScR (all scout and shield tankers die in a blink, magsec do the rest). As for fit hmm.. i dont know about minnis much, anyway there was few fits around last time, you should search for some.

Some min scout tried to knife me a few times, round one I won with my toxin, round 2 he ended up eating half a clip of my m512-a SMG, rounds 3 and 4 ended with me cloaking, and him running away while I regen Fare well my commando's fist of god o7 Patron saint of commandos Ck.0-scout, commando // ak.0- logi (commando soonTM)

Just recently CEO pyrex had a video with the gall scout with like 750 armour + some shields. Obviously it was slow for a scout but it wasn't that slow. Coupled with the cloak n rep hives....

Should that armour of mine be nerfed? I personally forgo all defenses on my min scout. Stackin melee mods in the highs, and a dampener in the low. Using knives and a sidearm. Then the cloak and remotes. Stick to the shadows and close to cover, moving behind enemy positions, I can kill with the knives and remotes rather easily. Not unusual to kill 3 or 4 people at a time.
