Why are you encouraging another FOTM at the moment. Caldari scout is OP. I can't stress this enough.

Logged in to play today 75% of my deaths were by caldari scouts. I don't understand if this approach is becuase gallente scout is overly used in PC or pub matches. If it's pub matches then it's clearly misleading.

The reasons why know Caldari scout is OP.

- 3% passive scan vs 1% scan , caldari will detect you faster
- quick shield regen vs 1 hp armor rep
- more shield vs less armor. ( gallente needs to sacrifice slots for dampening and also tanking won't work wih penalties.)
I can't even equip kinkats or biotic modules in my gallente because I need to sacrifice to keep hidden from caldari scouts. Outrageous.

Shields are still really weak compared to armor and were supposed to scan you first if we can scan you. And we sacrifice scans for shield and armor for damps.

The issue I have now is that many scouts are equipped with ACR mostly caldari scouts. If this was the case caldari would easily would win if he were versing a gallente scout under these circumstances. Now that ACR being reduced and that 3% damage buff to AR, will change the whole play style. Obviously the caldari scout is in trouble since everyone is going back to AR and that's likely going to happen. But still the quick shield regen vs 1 hp armor rep still an issue.

the issue here isnt the ACR being OP, but the suit using it.

Any minmatar suit using a minmatar weapon, is never OP, because minmatar suits suck.

Great our new FOTM Caldari Scout. Great job balancing the system. Also nothing to change about proto stompers in pub matches. What an awsome great balanced game called dust 514. Oh wait I don't even care becuase of legion. I don't even know anymore. Blaze

I will never be the huge troll in a match. I'm talking about people who countlessly use proto gear who abuse this game to the max and completely dominate everyone. I just feel so bad to the people who just finished academy and now entering to a world of hell. Is this what you call balance to the game. Blaze

Now with the Gallente nerf where you hacked and slashed the bonuses and repair rate, without touching the Caldari Scout, you've pretty much made sure that the Caldari Scout will be the most widely used scout. Congratulations. The nerf bat swings 360 degrees bro?! You mean I can't get in my tanked gallente scout with assault lvl armor, scout speed, a cloak mod, an amazing assortment of weapons ranging from nova knives and shotguns to every other weapon in the game but heavies, an extremely small hit box with lighting movement speed, and just go kill assault, logi, and heavy players indiscriminately 1 on 3??? ....... GREAT!!!!!!! Cuz that wasn't CLEARLY OP?!?!? Why you complaining since the caldari scout is OP. Do you know gallente can't tank anymore becuase of stacking penalties. Do you know that the armor repair is reduced to 1, while the caldari have 1 sec delay shield recharge. Do you know that the passive scan for gallente is reduced by 1 compared to caldari which is 3. So now can we agree on Caldari scout the new FOTM. Can't wait to see a full squad of full proto caldari scouts in pub matches to tear every single mercs into dust. Blaze

[/quote] HAHAHAHA You really expect the 2% changes to do anything? Also, ACR isn't being touched, only the normal CR.[/quote] It's 3% damage buff to the AR and a 2% reduction to damage to all CR. I mean AR will comeback to dominate. Right now see countless caldari scouts equipped with ACR basically dominating everyone. Now a gallente equipped with an AR will actaully dominate the caldari scout. The play style is reversed. "I don't even know anymore"

Any minmatar suit using a minmatar weapon, is never OP, because minmatar suits suck. I never actaully tried the minmatar suit to be honest, and that I can't give an honest opinion about it. However, ACR is OP I could tell you that. Compared to other rifles ACR is commonly used and is more effective. AR is the least used also scrambler rifles. (Shield based weapons are basically never used now) . "I don't even know anymore"
