Cody Sietz Bullet Cluster 2913	Posted - 2014.03.30 19:04:00 - [1] - Quote I know it's not a assaults job to passive scan, but 22 meters with max skills and a complex amp is pretty terrible. What I find so strange is how well precision and damp mods work on a assault. They give you a good advantage and are really actually worth using. Not a complaint or anything, just a observation.

Yeah I realized that. It's the only thing that I wouldn't really care about too. I mean, sure, range amplifiers working well on an assault would be nice but it isn't needed.

Tell me one thing an Assault can do that a Scout doesn't do better. If only there was someone out there who a couple months ago would have said "Oh hey with these stats you can make a scout be a better assault".... plenty of us did. Anyway, assaults are still plenty viable, just that underpowered things became equal or have surpassed it. I'm sure you can still do plenty of killing Whale you're better at this game than me. If you wanted to chase the flavor of the build there was a respect, you could have played militia stuff, tried stuff out, and specced into what ever you wanted. Sorry, but we vets are the last people that should whine when this occurs its only happened EVERY update. I saw what was going to be best this build and even spent a couple months using it before it was buffed along with other stuff I knew would be less powerful. 2 of those are assault suits, neither is "useless" Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Give a few examples? When I'm fighting a Sentinel I can use the extra couple shots in my CR mag to get Sentinels to nearly 0 health. Then when they duck behind cover I use the Speed from my Minmatar Assault, and its 300+ shields to run up, jump and elbow the Sentinel to death with a 190+ melee hit from Complex Myofibril stimulant. And if they're still not dead I can pull out an SMG with 100 rounds in the mag and hose them. Taco Cat backwards is still Taco Cat a¦Ñ_a¦Ñ

Assaults aren't meant to be used as mobile scanners and so they're bad at it. Not really, you can get down to 36 scan precision with max skills and a complex mod. Enough to pick up Any heavy or assault provided they aren't running more then 1 damp. "I do agree with you there though. shudders" -Arkena Wyrnspire

Give a few examples? Any straight up fight the assault should win unless they are terrible. Even the Cal Assault with its reload bonus should beat the scout. Running to the frontline with a ScR. Running an MD from an elevated position. Running with a pack...non scout pack.

Did you say a single complex precision mod will get to 36 scan precision? I ask this because my Minmatar Assault needs high mods that don't take up much CPU and I may just have to start running Precision Enhancers to make use of my 5 high mods.
