Ever since we got the rest of the heavy suits and scout suits, scouts have been the top class to use. They oust assault the assaults with smaller hit box, faster movement even with armor mods, and the ability to cloak and then shoot people before they even notice they re almost dead.

Scouts can out logi a logi because they more then 1 equpiment slot so they can carry a nanite injector or nanohive or repair tool and get the same war points tat a logi can get especially with the abbility to change your suit in the middle of the game at a supply depo, just spam uplinks then switch at first supply depo then spam nano haive and switch a third time and use a needle and rep tool for the rest of the match.

As for right now the scout class can do just about everything better then the classes that are supposed to be the one that do that stuff, the only other class they can't do the same stuff better is being a heavy, since a scout can't carry a hmg or forge gun.

But when it come to AV a scout can out class a heavy in that department. Proto warm launchers and proto nano hives and the ability to run almost as fast as a tank can drive means that as an AV the scout can be a tank/ads killer with ease.

Honestly i think that the others classes need to be worked on so that they preform s they were built for instead of every other class doing what they do but better.

i see more heavys then scouts.

Otherwise agree 100% & liked. well you try proto swarms and stack whats left of damage mods, with the speed between firing rounds the swarms are a great tank/ads deterent. especially with the speed they have they can scare away even the most seasoned tanker or ads pilot and make them hide in the red line.

I am a scout since closed beta when scouts and shotgun were the most OP combo ever, im talking about when shotgun profi skill increased rate of fire and not gave extra damage. As a scout i know exactly how deadly they can be, you can one-2 shot jut about any drop suit at close range and switch to the OP SMG or magsec smg for any kind of ranged battle and be able to run for clover when your out numbered. Anyone who thinks that heavies are top of the food chain just because of their size, must have just started playing dust because with a larger hit box and slower movement then a scout how can they on top. example..... im a scout and i see you, so i sneak up behind you where you can't see me at all.......shoot you in the back of the head 1-2 times before you even have the chance turn around, and if your not dead then turn with you or just jump over your head and either shoot you on the top of your head or in the back again. There is no chance for the heavy to even respond to my attack, only and only if a scout is stupid enough to try and go head to head with a heavy will the heavy win. The scout hot fix that is coming will only effect the cal/gal scouts not the min or amarr so who they preform will not change.

Thats actually pretty accurate. not only the Boundless. Any REG Version HMG. really so when i 1-2 shot a heavy because he couldn't turn fast enough to keep up with me and my shotgun....is that top of the food chain? Maybe they are a close second but by far not the top.

Not if he's in my squad....you're not sneaking up on anyone. Or if you run enough dampness to get past my scans, you'll run into me, perhaps kill me if you're good, then die a second or two later to that HMG who I have just warned. :) That said, I do tend to agree that cloaked scouts are a bit much for pub matches and unsuspecting targets, but CQC scouts, unless you're crazy good, don't pass the mustard any more running solo against a well-formed and skilled squad. IMO of course...Leadfoot p.s. what heavies are you 1 or even 2 shotting? just about any sentinel suit if i can get a close enough head shot with my SG........with the bonus to armor damage they got now if your shield tanked it may take at most 3 shots but other then that, 1 shot get rid of shields....2nd shot finish you off or be able switch to smg to finish you off.....your cursing me out while you respawn........rinse and repeat
