DUST Search - Is this scout fit OP?

I'm genuinely curious. Did a bit of testing today, and it was exciting. The fit goes as follows:

http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/725/3228

2x Complex Shield Extenders
2x Complex Kinetic Catalyzers
2x Basic Cardiac Regulators
1x ARN Cloak Field
CreoDron Shotgun
CAR-9 Burst Scrambler Pistol

First of all, apologies to everyone who had to feel the pain of me testing out my fits (lots of prototype=protostomping).
In my defence, I wasn't in a squad.

Anyway, despite all that, I'm curious - does anyone think this is OP? It's certainly not brick-tanking, yet I am using the CreoDron shotgun with a cloak - the combination that has deemed to be the biggest sin of today's FoTM. However, I have died to all manners of things when my aim was off that one time and my 233 shields drop in half a second, and my 156 armour is pulverised in less. Also, no scanning modules = not much visibility. Many times heavies have snuck up on me out of all things (somehow?).

If it isn't, I'm certainly making an advanced fitting of this, because it is fun as hell... (Also confirms the true scout's suspicions that it is brick tanking that is FoTM, not cloak)

Why does EHP = OP? OP, to me, is one of a few things: doing another role's jobs better than it can (bricked scout vs assault) while maintaining its own (Bricked scout still has far superior EWAR stats to Assault that assault cannon match), attacking in such a way as to avoid retaliation through range or damage, while sacrificing little otherwise (RR's range + its duplication of AR's other stats, and Shotgun+Cloak's instagib) or sheer unassailability (CalLogi, GalLogi, 1.7 HAVs). This fitting could certainly be considered OP. Another excellent example? Scouts in 1.0. Untouchable for no reason other than SP and bugs. 350EHP or less. ak.0 4 LYFE je ne regrette rien

aden slayer Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 600	Posted - 2014.04.06 11:53:00 - [8] - Quote Your fitting is good in terms of speed and shields. But your lack of armor repairers or plates is worrying as your shields might easily get mowed down by a Advance rail or scrambler rifle. My advise is to use this fit as a hit and run CQC Situation because if multiple enemies spot you while you are visible and you are in range of their guns, you don't really stand chance.

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens League of Infamy 1031	Posted - 2014.04.06 13:30:00 - [11] - Quote I do not know if any particular fit with the Scout can be considered OP because it has a counter. You can have all the HP in the world but if the Caldari Scout can see you through cloak, they will beat you if they get the drop. The Brick Tank is better in scenarios where it is caught outside of stealth. That fit is going to be fast and run a huge distance. It would probably be great in Skirmish running in between the outside points and causing the enemy havoc by pulling their troops back and forth. Hit D sprint to E, run back to E and kill the one dude that comes to take it back. I have done the same thing in a basic Assault suit before: one dude tying up an entire squad.

This is more or less how I like to play with my logi, using scout modules and cloaks. The logi really is a jack of all trades and running this fit is just fun, and even though a scout does the job better than I do, I get more hp and another equipment slot on top tor those stealth revives and reps.

Unless they come up behind me, I can usually spot the cloak-ripple with fair degrees of accuracy. What I like about the speed fit is that it discourages me from relying on my cloak as much as I have been of late. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, guys. The reason I don't have many scanning modules is that I'm still in the process of skilling into them. Being the Jack of all trades can be a real SP sink sometimes. But I didn't expect to get some feedback on my actual fit, so that's definitely a plus Now that's sorted, I'll be working on an advanced fitting...

(Also confirms the true scout's suspicions that it is brick tanking that is FoTM, not cloak) I dont think so. My ''Speed demon'' Fit ggoes like this: 3 Complex Kin cats 1 Complex Range AMp or Comp Profile Damp (depending on enemies) 1 Complex Shield Ext 1 Complex Precision ENH 1 Shotgun or MAss Driver 1 SMG 1 Contact Grenades 1 Cloak Works pretty well considering the 160 shields and 160 armor i have. Sprt speed is around 10.7 if im not mistaken. Due to the CLOAK, i avoid using the Green flasks since i can cloak, regen stamina , and move on. Speed and radar range are a little more crucial at the time of battle. On your fit. No, its not Op. Looks fun. But you are not using not Dampening modules, nor Radar Range modules. SO i dont really understand why you just didnt go ith Minmatar Scout ,if you were aiming for Speed or Caldari Scout if you were aiming for Shield tank....

I would hower, drop 1 extender for a precesion enhancer, 1 green for a plate, 1 red for an amplification and see if you can squeeze some equipment in their too, uplinks would probably be preferably, that should proably allow you to make up for the weaknesses with your current fit.

Sprinting for over a minute with a 10 sec recharge on stamina is great for getting around. And moving at ~10.5 m/s garners plenty of hate. I usually put a complex precision in the highs so you can pick up other scouts because with only around 300 eHp and a shotgun, you have to pick your battles.

As a scout,You win when you have a low amount of deaths and yet you managed to effectively disturb enemy advances/equipment/defenses/vehicles,etc.... IMO, the amount of kills is completely dependent on enemy behavior. Sometimes i get the same kills with my ADV or STD suit than my proto one. lets say i go 30-9 with a STD one. 30 - 5 with my ADV one , and 30-1 with my proto one. The difference is there. Its profit.
