Just admit it O.P. you ran with scissors as a kid. Every single one of us who specced into Minjas has it in our DNA. I dedicated an entire ALT to the ways of the Shinobi. Although unlike you I knew it was going to be bumpy. Yet I had no other choice. Cool

Concerns over the changes are very valid. It is almost guaranteed something is going to be done in relation to bricking and cloaking. It is very likely no matter the solution Minjas (or any,squishy scout) will get directly or indirectly hit in a bad way. I strongly suggest taking a look in IWSs thread on the topic. If you have ideas post them there. Your position will get better attention than a lone thread that will get bumped to page two or three of the forums within an hour and may go unnoticed because of it.

When it comes to bricking I agree with everyone who says Minmatar Frames don't do it. My Minja started as a Covert Specialist and will never even attempt for the Light Assault role. I will train into Caldari or Gallente Scouts if that style of play is desired.

HEY SCRUB! The Caldari Light frame Ck.o isn't the scout suit.. It's the basic! Check your **** before you call me a liar.

Scouts: Your turn, bend over. The slayer logi was not nerfed at all...logies can still brick tank like hell. Sure the innate rep has gone but If you are running with 1000ehp the 5HP/s (after investing 2.8 mill SP) had an rather symbolic effect. So Logis can (and are) still slayer Logis with lots of HP. And thats ok for me. What we need is a role for assaults they are a litle underperforming right know. This may due to the fact CCP had no time to redo them but apart from that suit balance is really in a good place. Just last week my good friend silver made gal logi fit because he knew we were getting the respec. He had a fit with a boundless CR with 3 proto damage mods and all proto armor plates. +25% damage and 900armor and +5 passive rep.. SIt on a repping nano hive and just laugh at their attempts.

I'm worried that ALL the scout suits will be nerfed where only 1 or 2 of them need to be "balanced" and please take your trolls back to your moms house.

Yes, I just helped you make a better bricktank fit. Some of you obviously misunderstand what I've done... I give up. It's called a variable.. I only plugged in necessary skills for brick tanking. and the militia items only further my argument.. See how the Gal can fit ALL the hp mods AND fit ALL that militia crap?
