6.) Many people specced into Caldari scout for precision and nothing else.

8.) Trust me, I'm an expert.

Caldari is OP with Precision....It has great Assault capabilities AND it has two great EWAR advantages (Precision and Range). So don't tell people Caldari should stay the same, just because you skilled into the FOTM. That's your fault. And there is a drawback, running plates decreases movement speed and with no shields, it won't be hard to kill Amarr scouts with CR/SMG etc.

And that last statement is a 100% guarantee of why we shouldn't trust you. This better be a troll post lol.

Holy crap ad hominem.

I decided to skill into the Cal scout as soon as I heard it was being released because of several reasons: its bonus, shield regen, and the possibility of pilot suits becoming a reality (I'm a shield vehicle specialist). None of my suits ever went over 350ehp.

Caldari was not OP with precision. It served as a great counter to scout abuse and was kept in check by low ehp and Gal scouts (not to mention that every scout could get under the typical FotM assault Cal scout they uses 2 prec enh).

"One does not simply" run like a Raptor. Only mk.0 Scouts do ... wait... I'm still outclassed by Gal scouts.

Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1708	Posted - 2014.07.16 17:05:00 - [3] - Quote Your numbers are wrong (Amarr gets down to 17dB iirc), but you're still correct. The Amarr sacrifices almost nothing to be a good scanner, not to mention can pull redicous ranges if going only precision and range enhancers. Rattati has said multiple times that the goal was to make all the scouts useful, but I don't see how the Amarr scout can be useful if it can't scan scouts. Scouts can already scan every med and heavy easily, so the purpose of a precision bonus should be to scan scouts. Now there's no counter to dampened scouts, which I think will make them more prevalent. I'm not as upset about the Cal changes because of the much better range bonus and damp bonus, but it does undermine the whole reason I went into the suit in the first place.

Kallas Hallytyr Skullbreakers 644	Posted - 2014.07.16 17:12:00 - [5] - Quote 9) Wait, let's ignore game balance all together! Reason for Amarr getting precision: it can fit rage amps to shore up its limited range, but that sacrifices tank. So if it doesn't, it is a slow but effective scout hunter. If it does, it is faster and better able to track but much more vulnerable. Reason for Caldari getting range: it can track high dB targets (heavies and mediums) easily, but needs to sacrifice tank to track low dB targets (scouts and dampened mediums). If it doesn't, it is vulnerable to being jumped by other scouts, like the AmScout. Reason for the changes: it means that they each shore up their weak side (AmScout gets bonuses to high slots through precision/CalScout gets bonuses to low slots through range/dampening) which means any EWar fitted will more likely than not come from their primary tank, or else they will have a powerful but limited tool at their disposal: or they'll have a powerful and flexible tool at the expense of their tank. The new bonuses are good for the health of all Scouts and the game. Alt of Halla Murr.

If a Caldari wants Precision they have to give up their high slots. Big whoop. I sometimes fill my bathtub with Jell-o, then I proceed to curl up and pretend I'm a fetus.

That's like saying if a cal scout uses range amps.. it gives up armor tank... its like saying using hacking mods on a minmatar scout had disadcamtage because it gives up armor tank. Are you in your right mind bro?? Amarr don't shield tank just like minatar don't Armor tank.
One Eyed King Land of the BIind 2723	Posted - 2014.07.17 04:17:00 - [12] - Quote Cal scouts with range and precision giving up slots aren't the problem. Its sharing their scans with their heavy friends that cause the problem. The only thing I am concerned for about the changes are the ADV cal with just 1 LS. I don't know they can dampen enough, and there is little flexibility with the HS at this point. Its pretty much just shield tank and precision at that point. This is how a minja feels
Lynn Beck Fooly Cooly. Anime Empire. 2049	Posted - 2014.07.17 05:28:00 - [13] - Quote Saying 'only 310 shields' like that is funny. Minja MK.0 can hit a maximum of 343, and that's regenning slower, being blind, and having mildly working HD, so i sacrifice ALL of my slots to be 'eh, a little tougher' than an EWAR Calscout. That's OP, my friend. If an Amarr Scout could dodge the exact same things as a Galscout, using identical layouts, but it had +50 Armor to top it off, would that be OP? General John Ripper -BAM!

Ryme Intrinseca The Rainbow Effect Dark Taboo 1517	Posted - 2014.07.17 06:18:00 - [14] - Quote Precision has always been the Caldari USP, so it's perverted to make it worse than the Amarr and Gallente in that respect. I'm in favour of giving Amarr some ewar but it should not usurp the Caldari specialism. If Amarr becomes precision specialist then Caldari players should be given the option of respecing Amarr.
