DUST Search - Torn between skilling into Minja or the GalFrog

The buff to Amarr also makes it somewhat appealing but I will never touch the Calamari scum dropsuit.

First of all let me say I am a terrible scout... I tried it way back in the day when I joined Dust last year and I hated it. Pretty much the only reasons I'm considering it are: the cloak making it easier for people like me who can't stand being a glass cannon in a FPS, and the biotics and EWAR skills boosting all of my dropsuits not just the scout.

Gallente with a shotty is easy mode. Seriously. I'm the shittiest scout on the planet, but with a cloak and a shotty I'm pretty damn good. I just love being invisible with that suit. One time on my Gal scout character, I defended enemy home point on a 5 point bridge map, and I barely even died once or twice and held it the whole match.

Minja appeals to me because I used to be a Min Logi hacker but I respeced out of it. I have seen Minjas in PC battles sneak in right under our noses and hack the fully guarded objective before we even realized they're there. But knifing is really hard compared to just having a shotgun, and I have a feeling I will be terrible without one (people usually use combat rifles.) I have a character with proto knives, advanced suit, a cloak, proto damps and advanced combat rifle... and I just suck at it so much. It would be very hard and take a lot of getting used to. I'd also be hard pressed not to even bother using the CR because I already have the AR and I don't want to spend too much SP. Maybe I'd have a better time of it with Kin Cats.

Not only is the Amarr looking good once hotfix Charlie comes, but I might also save my SP and see if the Assault suit becomes viable again. There's nothing I'd love more than ripping people apart with a Gallente that actually has a GOOD AR bonus.

Lastly, another thing I've considered was the Caldari Sentinel. But it kind of seems pointless that I already have the Amarr proto'd out, and would just wind up using it less and spreading my SP thinner.

Well if you don't want Min for NK....don't know why else you would want to go into it other than for the challenge. "One does not simply" run like a Raptor. Only Mk.0 Scouts will do that. NK are my Teeth, Kin Cats are my Legs.

You better go play as a heavy. Your reading comprehension needs work. I said GalFrogs are easy mode. Minja is hard mode, Amarr is looking to become the new middle ground, and Caldari are just OP. . Explain this: '' Caldari are just OP. '' because i do not see the OPNESS in caldari scout suits... wait are you serious? "One does not simply" run like a Raptor. Only Mk.0 Scouts will do that.
