Seriously, Caldari scouts are not taking the right amount of dmg from blaster weapons.

I would suggest trying to test this in FW with a friend. Shoot a couple rounds into their chest with an AR, preferably with a character with zero damage mods and proficiency. Damage done divided by shots fired = Y and then divided by 1.1 should equal X. If X is noticeably less than the damage of a single AR round, there may be a problem. Testing it against a Caldari Heavy would then be able to prove a problem.
It might just be that Scouts move fast and have tiny hit-boxes so you or the enemy are missing some shots.

I will test this tonight. I've got one with a Caldari sentinel and another with a scout.
It's weird, I one shotted a few medium and MLT frame suits but it will not one shot a Caldari scout. It's not that the shot is missing, it's that it's taking them down to armour, it's weird.

If you can, film it to be sure. A phone propped on something works in a pinch. Be sure to post the results if there is something hinky.

they might be armor tanking, as you know, lolbricktankingscouts. I generally don't have any problems killing caldari scouts with my shotgun, but then again, I have proficiency 5, so maybe that's a factor.

I have prof 4 so it shouldn't be that much of a difference. I don't think it's the armour either, but I could very much be wrong and just have to test it tonight.
@Joseph, will do. I hope my phone will cut it.

Be sure to use someone without skills in AR proficiency just to reduce noise of the test. Good luck with it.

With all the bugs that 1.8 came out with I can't say I would be surprised.

I am curious to know this as well. I've had several matches against Caldari scouts were I walked away just shaking my head because it seemed like they took little to no damage.
My aim was on, I was getting hit markers, but they lost less than a 1/5th - 1/4th of their shields after a full magazine (probably 60-70% of shots appearing to land). I just assumed it was because they were brick shield tanked and I was using a CR against shields. But then one of them killed me before I could even land a shot and the kill report showed that he only had 160 shields. I started letting them kill me just to see their max shields, none of them had more than 160 shields. Started trying to kill them again and same problem. A full magazine and at most I could get their shields down 50%. Switched to my ScP and started killing them in 3 shots. |

I've had the same thing occur. I've unloaded nearly an entire clip of Duvolle rounds into a Cal Scout and was getting consistent hit makers only for the scout's shields to go down marginally.
It feels like something wonky is going on with the Cal Scouts.
I could list the ways how we Amarr are better than you, but your lesser mind wouldn't comprehend it.
