they arnt being out performed....

whats happening is that the scout crazy is causing a sort of mass delusion, the delusion is that assault suits are gimped in some way becuase they have nothing that makes them FEEL special.

the reality is they are the most well rounded of all the classes and have no weaknesses in that they can counter anything and handle any situation.

faster then commandos and smaller hitbox that balances having less HP making commandos only really good for AV

alot faster then heavys, can control the fight and use range and movement to take them out.

has enough HP that they can just spray and prey the scouts away.

has that sidearm... people underestimate how awesome it is to have a sidearm... you know how many more deaths i would have if i had to reload instead of just swapping to my SMG?


Assault suits are good at everything and bad at nothing.

other suits are amazing at one thing and bad at several others in exchange.

What are scouts bad at, again?

For great justice i will share my ADV minmatar Assault suit build

3x complex shield extenders
2x enhanced plates

ADV assault combat rifle
ADV assault SMG

flux - for ganking heavys and for when people try to 2-5v1 you (and killing protos)

compact nanohive for regening yoru armor buffer and regaining ammo since the ACR is an ammo hose.

over 800HP to compete with proto

i have proficiancy 5 in combat rifles and 4 in SMGs with all the supporting skills at LEAST at a 4 so that kinda helps.



This is my "i cant believe its not proto" fit and its a monster. scouts MELT, still runs over 7m/s and strafes fast enough to orbit heavys, has enough HP to face tank protos if you start the fight with the advantage and get first blood.

I thought I was the only one that used this suit. Although I use locus grenades because I like to blow people up.

I went 60/3 with a pre 1.8 scout.
Does that mean they were just fine before?

Now do it with a AR.

Lets be honest people this is in no way proof of anything.

1) Mosselia is a vet, has been here long enough to know her way round a battlefield.
2) There is no proof she didn't go round in a squad with 5 reapair tools latched onto her.
3) There is no evidence of the level of skill of her opponents, they might have all been mlt
4) There is literlaly nothing that allows you to draw any valid conclusionss from this.

The only thing we can do is look at the maths.
1) The maths shows Assault Combat Rifles aren't nearly as overpowered as you believe, it has a range advantage of just 6m over the AR and comparable DPS, HOWEVER the maths also shows the projectile damage profile (which is applied to the ACR ) is overpowered. This is what requires fixing to balance the Combat Rifles.

2) The maths shows that a Gallante Scout is capable of achieving 700 Armour and about 280 Shields, this is a higher EHP than the minmatar assault suit is capable of.
This also includes the Gallante Scout having, better dampening, similar speed, better passive scanning, a cloak, innate repair of 3HP/s and the same weapon slots.

3) The maths shows that Scouts (with the exception of the minmatar) can easily reach values of EHP rivaling the assault suits without loosing any of the benifits of being a scout. This proves that scouts are overpowered by comparison to Assaults.

4) The maths proves that sentinel suits can reach wild extremes both in repping and in total EHP with the Gallante Sentinel reaching 1900 EHP before resistamces are applied, which includes 25% resistance to splash damage.

5) The maths shows that by comparison to sentinels Assaults are underpowered, the only drawback to a Sentinel being the HMGs lack of range. Which can easily be countered by using a light weapon instead.

This shows the Assault Suit currently is underpowered, it has no tactical advantage over other suit weights, no special abilities or unique weaponry.
