Was really looking forward to skilling into the Minja because of the PG increase and being able to actually get use out of dampeners but they scrapped both those things and gave precision bonus to the Amarr.
Look at this scan dB spreadsheet. Minmatar is terrible at EWAR and the only good thing it has, dampening, is going to be outclassed by the Amarr now. That dampening nerf to Caldari was the ONLY thing giving me any hope of skilling into the Minja. But now that I realize they're just copy pasting it to the Amarr, and how terrible Precision and Range is on it, I'm sorry but I give up.
If I'm going to dump my SP into dampening, range and precision I want to at least get something out of it more than just giving my mediums and heavies better passive scans.
So I will wait and see what happens to the Amarr, because I think I've decided it's between Amarr and Gallente Scout for me now. Gallente can combine the best dampening with good range and the second best precision now, but Amarr can get the best precision and the second best range.
Might go with Gallente just so I can double task as a good sniper, plus I've tried them out and it's fun to be invisible.
CCP, I thought I was going to start liking you again. I really did. Then you announced this event.

Min scout was never intended to be an E-war specialized scout.
I think its always be meant to be an infiltration unit specialized in quick assassination (hit and RUN tactics).
You get in, kill a couple of mofos with NK, Hack , GT*O....
at least thats how i've always seen them...
Good luck then with your Scout of preference. The Gal scout is nice to be invisible but you will need 2 out of 4 slots for dampeners so you know.
The Amarr will be the best scan it seems ,but as amarr dont think catching up to those Min scouts XD
THEY RUN FAST.
Even with the Min scout, the passive scanning,range and dampening help the Min scout at lot, at least to avoid everything but E-war Specialized scouts and Gal logis :3 While having enough scan to know where everything is, except Dampened Scouts and HEAVY dampened med frames.
OVerall, it helps a lot regardless of your scout of choosing....
I would argue precision is useless on a Minja unless you're trying to scan undampened Gallente/Caldari, or medium suits that dampen. Look at the numbers on that spreadsheet, they're terrible. Range I would also argue is useless because you need those low slots for better things.
You're right. I have had a Minja character for a while, but I skilled into the wrong things like combat rifle and dampening. I guess I should make a new one with kin cats and try that out. I figured dampening was more useful for knives but I was wrong. I die a lot when I try to use that character and I'd probably be better with kin cats.

i just checked the stats
i agree that it's nice they give Minjas enough stamina not to need a cardiac regulator and the most speed
but shotguns and EWAR are just so much more useful. I mean if kin cats gave you better movement AND sprint speed I could see where Minja would be good, but sprinting is only useful when there's no enemy present or if you are running away from them... and it doesn't help your team to run away from the fight
to be honest Gallente and Caldari get a comparable sprint speed, and Amarr gets comparable stamina, AND they get better EWAR.

You guys are misunderstanding.
I didn't say not to use biotics on the Gallente. I actually would use them a lot.
And the whole point of this thread wasn't that I'd already skilled into Minja, it was because I'm trying to pick a scout for my MAIN character that already has a Logi and a Heavy. The Minja character only has 3 million SP.
And 843-Vika... precision on minmatar is useless if you don't have at least 2 of them... You won't even pick up a Gallente without any dampeners on. That's sad. Put another precision on.

I mean, I don't know. If they buff assault I might just pick an assault instead.
Just realized today I don't need the biotics skill for my other characters. 5% is the best you can do for my speed, stamina and regen CCP? Thought biotics modules gave bonuses that didn't require fitting the module itself - like the EWAR skills do. Gotta say I'm disappointed.
Besides, the assault can still use biotics. And I've never shield tanked in this game before so that might persuade me to pick a Caldari suit.
