TritusX PH4NT0M5 0	Posted - 2014.08.01 12:33:00 - [1] - Quote Hi everyone. This is my first time on the forums, so don't kill me . What I am here to ask you today is what fit should I use for my NK's? My current suit looks like this -> Scout M1 Basic CR ZN-28 NK Ferroscale and Cardiac Regs in the lows Precision Enhancers in the highs MLT locus grenade MLT nanite injector Right now, I am finding it hard to sneak around to flank the enemy team without being spotted. I'll usually run away from the battle and make a curve to the left or right of them and come in from behind. But every time, someone spots me and kills me because I have no tank. Also, what should I skill into for this? I am thinking of trying a cloak, but maybe I shouldn't. Help me guys Minnie Scout Minnie LogiBro Amarrian Sentinel See you guys in the battlefield o7

Also, what should I skill into for this? I am thinking of trying a cloak, but maybe I shouldn't. Help me guys Your main skill focus for knifing should be Dampening, Range, and then Precision. Dampening first, and always. Some other knifers swear by Kin Cats to move fast enough to get within range and attack before the enemy can react, but I don't find it works for me. The cloak can be useful for getting into position or waiting for the right moment, but if you don't have dampening to go along with it you can still be spotted (you'll appear on the tac-net and the red chevron will appear about your head). Cloaks are also very difficult to fit unless you have scout to level 5, particualrly when fitting nova knives as well. My normal knife fit looks like this: Scout M/1 Assault CR ZN knives Flux grenade 2 x complex dampeners 2 x complex precision enhancer Complex shield extender Advanced cloak Standard remote explosives Though there's a fair investment in core skills to get that all on, and even then it comes in at under 300 HP. I'd recommend fitting your knives and two dampeners first, and then seeing what else you can get on. Even if you stack HP you'll still die in seconds, so your main goal is to remain unseen, and hit hard when you get the oportunity. Surviving is optional. The REs are for groups, or where you don't think you can take down your target in one hit (proto heavies). Feel free to pop over to the Barbershop if you have scouterly questions, there's a lot of experienced scout players who hang out there who will be happy to help out. o7 Knowledge is power

I only have 1m sp total and that already went into my CR and Knives. Would it be a be a better idea to use ADV damps first and get everything to ADV, or should I go full proto on the damps? EDIT: I just made your fit on protofits Brokerib and it was hard to fit. I also used their skill tree only to find out that by minimum standards I would need at least 3m sp . Looks like this is going to take a long time. Minnie Scout Minnie LogiBro Amarrian Sentinel See you guys in the battlefield o7
hfderrtgvcd Resheph Interstellar Strategy Gallente Federation 322	Posted - 2014.08.01 15:41:00 - [4] - Quote Personally I would run shield extenders in the high slots since you will already passively scan all nonscouts but still won't be able to scan dampened scouts if you run two precision enhancers. I woudl recommend using one dampener and one kinetic catalyser in your low slots. Cloaks are very very useful but also very difficult to fit cpu/pg wise unless you skill into level 5 of your scout of choice. Also, as brokerib said remote explosives are very handy.
lee corwood Knights Of Ender RISE of LEGION 922	Posted - 2014.08.01 16:17:00 - [5] - Quote In general, before anything else, its smarter but less fun to put your points into the Big 4 core skills first. They benefit you no matter what suit you wear. If scouting is your goal, I would invest in all profile skills first. It's an important feature to have no matter what your role. It's especially important as a scout yourself. Personally, I dislike the cloak. I find myself so distracted with the timer and the sound dampening that I run significantly better without the cloak. The other thing I can say is to be patient. There are a lot of really good scouts that have learned how to flank/ambush effectively but it took a lot of deaths to get there. My knife kills are pretty infrequent. I end up getting more kills with my sidearm than I do with the knives. Start out finding that one guy all alone. Whether he's solo hacking or is the lone sheep away from the herd or even that sniper you can see that didn't notice you. Those are your guys. After you run the suit more and more, you'll feel more confident with trying braver things. Yes, you will die. A lot. But its part of learning. Eventually you'll hit that sweet spot. Lastly, run away often. I know you want that kill, but the best scouts out there are ones that attack you but have an exit in mind. It took me a very long time to learn this. When I sneak on an enemy and miss, I have a plan to either drop off the ledge to my left, or jump the stairs, or duck behind cover long enough to out run his deadly zone. I'll re-engage him later, on my terms. Learn this. Learn this well. Lastly, join the Learning Coalition chat channel. The channel is dedicated to helping new players (answering questions, squadding, mentoring, etc) Last I was in there, there were a few members from a corporation (forgot the name) but they do nothing but scouting and knifing. Express your interest and they're likely to take you under their wing and show you the ropes. Knights of Ender Minmatar Logisis \| Heavy lover.

EDIT: I just made your fit on protofits Brokerib and it was hard to fit. I also used their skill tree only to find out that by minimum standards I would need at least 3m sp . Looks like this is going to take a long time. Unfortunately scouting, and knifing in particular, are very SP intensive. Dampening is more important than any of the others. Range only really shines at proto, and you'll find limited use for precision until you have range. More than likely the reason you're getting spotted so much is because you're showing up on passive scans, so you should see an improvement fairly rapidly. The cloak can aid with that from the advanced level (5% increase to dampening), but isn't a substitute. Advanced damps are a good start, and after that I'd start looking into core skills (engineering, electronics, shield and armor) to advanced as well. They'll make every suit you use, regardless of class, significantly better. Biotics are also quite important to the Minmatar scout, though you'll need to invest to proto to see much of a difference. Don't worry about cardiac regulators too much, your stamina recharge is high enough to not need them in most instances. The straight increase from the biotics skill and kin cats are more effective.

One Eyed King Land of the BIind 3069	Posted - 2014.08.02 00:44:00 - [7] - Quote I would echo what Lee and Broker have said. Damps first and foremost. Dropsuit core upgrades. Are a must. Especially Engineering. I would wait awhile on the cloak. You are going to die a lot. I would also suggest putting some SP into uplinks and starting off a match running around the far edges of the map, using cover placing them relatively close to objectives. You would be surprised how much WP that alone will get you, and you will increase your SP that way as well, while you skill into killing suits. If you want to stick with knifing, I suggest using your current undampened self to your advantage. Learn to hide around corners and come out swinging. It won't matter if they know you are there, because they will chase after you thinking you are easy pickings and won't have time to react. I still get many kills this way around stairwells, doorways and corners. Someone thinks they have you and gives chase, then finds a knife in their mug. Also, definitely stop by the Barbershop like Broker said. We may get off topic a lot, and come off crass, but we like helping new scouts who are dedicated to the craft. This is how a minja feels
TritusX PH4NT0M5 2	Posted - 2014.08.02 16:06:00 - [8] - Quote Thanks for the good advice all! I've tried out some of your options, and it's been getting me a better KDR and more WP. Albeit most of my kills are from my combat rifle... but I've managed to knife a couple of guys. I've been dropping uplinks recently and in some matches, no one drops them so I will. Gets me a lot of WP for that Anyway, I have a question Brokerib. The fit that you gave has exceeded my cpu and pg. Is that a adv scout or do you have high engineering and electronics? Also, would anyone like to squad up with me to try knifing and scouting overall? Minnie Scout Minnie LogiBro Amarrian Sentinel See you guys in the battlefield o7

He probably has his core skills maxed. Look for the channel Scouts United in game. There are lots of people in there to squad with. Beware, some people are nicer than others, and some people are not even scouts, but for the most part it is a good start for finding scouts to run with. If you see people like Gav, Aria, Shotty, Appia, or Jace looking to pick up people in your squad they are safe bets. I am sure there are others that I am leaving off, but it is a start.

Zindorak 1.U.P 226	Posted - 2014.08.02 22:39:00 - [10] - Quote I would get rid of the CR and put NK on main weapon and SMG as Sidearm just so its easier to switch to Nk after cloak. Works better 4 me anyway Master of the Scrambler Pistol. Carthum Assault ScP <3

The fit that you gave has exceeded my cpu and pg. Is that a adv scout or do you have high engineering and electronics? Also, would anyone like to squad up with me to try knifing and scouting overall? Yep, I've got core upgrades, engineering and electronics to 4, as well as a couple of other skills to reduce the fitting costs of my weapons. Even with that, went and check my fit last night and it's actually an Enhanced Shield extender, not a Complex one. So even with 24Mil SP I can't fit what I said... Keep up the knifing, sounds like you're getting the right idea. I've never moved up from being a knifer of opporunity (hackers, stationary targets, snipers, etc), so most of my kills are with the CR as well. Proper knife slayers are few and far between. Not sure how much experience you have with uplinks, but once you've got your other skills sorted, it pays to get uplinks up to at least level 3, preferably level 4. Trick with them is you can drop a number of different uplink models at once (so you could have two R-9 uplinks, a stable drop uplink, and a standard drop uplink) all active at the same time. You just need to setup a suit fit for each one and rotate through each suit. Can easily pull in over 1000 WP a match if you've got an active team and you're the only one dropping uplinks. And as King said, hit up scouts united in game and ask if there's a knife squad going, there's normally someone around who's looking to do some close work. Knowledge is power

You MUST, at least once before DUST dies, experience the thrill of knifing a heavy in the face, knowing he sees you the whole time, and coming out of it alive. Sometimes it's the raptor leap, sometimes it's knowing he's just around the corner, facing where I'm going to come at him from, having no time to flank all the way around the building. So I'll throw a remote, knowing he can see it. With him aiming at where I threw the remote, right after I hear the detonation of his shooting it, I'll rush him. Or sometimes, I'm out of remotes and I have to rush in behind a flux or just dive into the attack 'raw'. And I just know they're furious afterward. Have you have had a knifer run at you slashing? I've been knifed by Parkour Practitioner and mollerz - it's terrifying. Jaceon Pale-eye. Soon to be the deadliest prick in OSG. Unless Mal says no :(

Advanced Precision Enhancer (lol at undamped scouts - I see you, prick!) I was running shield extenders with a PG and CPU mod... but the extra few shield hp didn't affect the price of tea in Caldari Prime, so I said screw it. Be faster, be more lethal. When you're running STD or ADV knives, you might run the RS-90 or something else as your sidearm (the knives are, of course, your primary weapon. It's not survivability we're looking at, it's speed and lethality. You'll lose suits, but they'll be relatively cheap compared to most of our alternatives as Minjas.

I've been knifed by Parkour Practitioner and mollerz - it's terrifying. If I remember correctly you slashed me up! Everyone is giving great advice, but I just wanted to add a couple more fitting choices. Flux nades- The flash bang of dust. They have a very wide AOF, and they vaporize shields on anything in it's wake. You can really time this so you are as close to the bubble (don't self flux!) and are on top of people with only armor left. Also the basic flux nade is super easy to fit with 9CPU/2PG (gotta get explosives skill to level 5 for squeezing out all the CPU savings). Oh yea, and most important- you can use them to clear objectives of explosives, and wipe out enemy equipment in general. compact nano hives- Again, easy to fit and heals armor. 10CPU/2PG (I believe the nanhive skill also saves cPU but it's not labeled) You won't have ** for armor, but this bad boy will heal it up quick and supply you with more flux nades/ammo. It helps to have your own ammo supply when operating away from resources. Also, in a pinch, you can help team mates. GN-20 Flaylock- A **** weapon to be sure, but again- requirements are gentle. low CPU and 0 PG <- 0 PG means you will be able to fit it when nothing else will because you have no PG left (you need engineering lv 5- prepare for grind). Flaylocks are good to kill people you almost killed knifing but are getting away. you can also shock and awes people to get space between you. Prepare for bad hit detection tho. Again, you can use this to clear objectives. All of the above is relatively easy to obtain, and will expand your fitting options in the early stages. Also, try running knives in your L slot and running a sidearm in the S slot. You might find you start doing a lot better with knives ;) Oh and one last thing, go IshNoks or go home. Zns are really for when your skills are 100% there. Dingle Dust Berry.

Seconding this - when you commit to the knives and Embrace the Death, it'll help you. Did not know about the 0 PG flaylock... I'll have to look into learning to use those myself Also, the ZN's are okay imo - much better than basic knives... but I'd avoid heavies until you have the Ishukone knives. After Hotfix Charlie, ZN's will be better, but for now, with non-proto knives I'd say your engagement envelope just doesn't include non-militia heavy suits unless you're highly skilled and comfortable as a player with the knives.

I went pure knifing just now in a ambush and went 7-3, better than my usual for knifing (4-12 is one of my worst ) I'm starting to get the hang of this now, and all I need is more SP to invest. Also, should I invest SP into RE's so that if I see a heavy coming I can lay one down instead of knifing him?

And now that the Oceanic servers have closed down, I can never be completely sure that what I see is what's actually happening. Much like the REs, I use them as a weapon of opportunity when I know I've got an advantage, or use them as the jaws of the trap...or when I've run out of other options and just want to go down slashing Knowledge is power

Greiv Rabbah KiLo. 15	Posted - 2014.08.12 02:02:00 - [20] - Quote Tough question... It comes at a tough time as the class role for ninja is assassin and the assassination strike(ninja melee) was removed in 1.7... Most people suggest falling back to minjas secondary weapon, the nova knife, or supplementing with REs, but since 1.7 plenty of crying heavies have gotten remote explosives nerfed to the point of being laughable, and our pistol has had the damage, blast radius, and clip size cut down as well so pistol assassinations are a no... Basically if you're looking to play tenchu style in new eden you're real real late... If you want to sneak up behind someone drop a remote hit them knife them set off your remote and blast a full clip from your pistol in a vain attempt to finish the enemy off while their 5 squaddies who spotted you track you down, then welcome to new eden. Better scan radius than other suits allows you to watch them corner you from the convenience of your minimap while the worst scan profile of any scouts(since the minja dampening bonus was removed) ensures that the enemy doesn't have to "hunt" to track you down and box you in. About a couple other suggestions, remember that fluxing remote explosives is FRIENDLY FIRE IN HI SEC please don't team kill especially since many ninja were forced to become hackers by a trash role bonus(we got hand-me-downed the minnlogi hacker bonus to become 2nd fastest hacker after gallogi but not better than minnlogi or galscout) If using flaylock remember that the projectile is super slow and the blast radius is intentionally broken on this weapon. Expect it to whiff 9/10 perfect shots. Remotes aren't supposed to be the finisher for when knives don't work... Knives are for when melee doesn't work. THAT SAID, DONT LEVEL UP HAND TO HAND FOR MINJA ANYMORE the assassin blow that was for knocking down that heavy that's ruining everyone's day? Its not there, you can stab to try and finish them off but the rate of fire for the hmg... Most times just don't punch. I hope CCP fixes the minja soon. Came for an RPG, leveled into a class... All my SP is used up where did the class I leveled into go? Where did the RPG I bought go?

You could go with the Six Kin ACR but once you out of ammo your screwed. The Boundless is a little more ammo conservative. Cardiac regs for running and you will be running a lot. The Minja is gonna get a PG increase so fitting a proto cloak may be easier. Codebreakers for swift hacking. If you have problems getting knives out you could take the CR out move knives to primary and add SMG for sidearm. Almost as good. Sheild for tanking thats about it enjoy Pokemon master

Sheild for tanking thats about it enjoy As an alternative to shield tanking you could try putting damage mods on your highs, but crying got those broken in half(literally!) Nova knives + SMG isn't a real minja, its a coping mechanism... Also recommended here is codebreakers for "swift hacking" let me clarify that we lose our assassin strike for this dog food garbage hand-me-down bonus for a class role that isn't even our own,so "swift hacking" here means that we permanently have a low slot locked into a codebreaker(25% bonus) which is literally the most useless stat to have forced on us when first place its a logi job, second place WE TRADED EITHER 25% PROFILE DAMP OR 25% MELEE DMG FOR THIS & its still not a scout job! The minja is consistently matched or outdone by others for hacking speed, so when the melee is offensively needed and the damps are defensively needed, it would be clearly insane for any player to want a codebreaker tied to a non customizable low slot.

What I use now is this ----> Scout M1 STD CR ZN-28 Locus Nade RE RE or Nanohive ADV Damps ADV Damps MLT Shield Extender STD Precision Enhancer I'm wondering how this fit would look better and I have a question on what I should skill up. Should I skill into CR LVL 3 for the RS-90 or should I skill up into Scout LVL3 for cloak and better fitting? (I've had to skill up Eng and Ele. to 2 because of this) Minmatar Scout and never changing.

Should I skill into CR LVL 3 for the RS-90 or should I skill up into Scout LVL3 for cloak and better fitting? (I've had to skill up Eng and Ele. to 2 because of this) First, try out a flux grenade. Even standard ones can do some major shield damage, and they have a large splash area (even through walls for pesky uplinks). And if you can fit a Locus I believe you already have the skills needed for Flux. If you have Engineering and Electronics at 2, I would skill those up to at least 4 before you start looking elsewhere. Those are super important. For fitting a cloak, you need to get your minja up to lvl 4 at least to be able to fit one and still be viable. So long as you maxed your Dampening first. Do you have uplinks skilled yet? I doubt you are running out of ammo (I rarely ever do, especially with knives), and you can get boatloads of WP and SP by simply placing a few strategically located uplinks. Even if it is just 1 lvl, though at lvl 3 you can get Uplinks that allow 2 active at the same time. tl;dr Given what you have said, in my opinion, your priorities should be Engineering and Electronics. After that you can start thinking about leveling your minja to 4 at least, possibly uplinks, and that lvl 3 CR you talked about is a good idea too. The longer you delay a cloak, and continue learning where cover is and how to get around in cover, the more effective you will be when you do finally get a cloak. You can always tell a Millford Minja

The longer you delay a cloak, and continue learning where cover is and how to get around in cover, the more effective you will be when you do finally get a cloak. I was using flux berfore, and I find it harder to take down their shields and come in. It kind of takes away my stealth factor. The only reason I use fluxes is to clear a room full of equipment (like gal research facility supply depot room). Locuses deal killing power (meh), so if there is a group of enemies that I can't RE then i just throw a locus. My engineering and electronics ATM suffice, but I am wondering if I should skill up the suit for more cpu/pg or skill up electronics and engineering to make my STD suit better. Cloak is now not in my to-do list for now. I do not have uplinks skilled but I do have a MLT DU fit (terrible b/c cpu and pg) which reaps WP. Effective if I'm not killing well (this happens way too often) So what I think I'm going to do now is this in the following order ----> Skill CR to 3 Skill Elec. and Eng. to 3 Skill Min Scout to 4 Skill Dampening to 5 Skill NK to 5 Skill Range Amp and Prof Enh. to 3 each Skill RE to 3 and thats it for now Minmatar Scout and never changing.
One Eyed King Land of the BIind 3468	Posted - 2014.08.21 01:41:00 - [26] - Quote Between leveling up you scout or leveling up your Eng/Elec it comes down to whether you would use the advanced suit or not. I could be wrong, but I don't think leveling up the suit alone will increase CPU/PG across all tiers. That being said, if you can afford to run an Advanced suit, that will definitely get you more CPU and PG. If you are running about even isk wise with your standard suit, leveling up your Eng/Elec will increase fitting capacity for all suits at all levels. That way you will be able to run a standard minja with greater fitting capacity. You can always tell a Millford Minja

Venerable Phage Red Shirts Away Team 239	Posted - 2014.08.21 10:59:00 - [28] - Quote Apart from my drop link assault rifle std scout the rest of my fits have gravitated to ADV as they seem to be best bang for buck. 1) More PG/CPU means more good things... And Kin Cats are thirsty. 2) Not stupidly expensive like proto My take on 514: Five Empires, One Dead, Four Alive
OgTheEnigma The Rainbow Effect 198	Posted - 2014.08.22 02:28:00 - [29] - Quote Here's my current primary knifing fit: http://www.protofits.com/fittings/view/0/6986 With this setup I can often get 20+ kills in a good game with only 2 or 3 deaths. The key is to pick your battles by flanking around the main group (in Ambush) and always try to have the cloak enabled when engaging a target. The cloak is mainly to minimise the risk of other enemies seeing you when going for the strike, as the target shouldn't even know your position if you've sneaked behind them correctly. With only one complex dampener, EWAR can be a bit lacking, but this is made up for by kincats - if it seems like another scout can see you on TACNET then just run away. The main targets are mediums and heavies anyway. Also, I prefer shields to damage mods as the extra hp allows longer and more successful survival when harassing tricky enemies. My Nova Knife proficiency is only lvl 3 as well and yet I can still kill a lot of heavies in one charged swipe; I've never fought an enemy that requires more than 2 charged attacks as well.
xavier zor King and Queens Peacekeepers of High-Sec 26	Posted - 2014.09.02 02:47:00 - [30] - Quote Don't get Prototype knives...they will use to much PGU/CP on your dropsuit. Skill into assault sub machine guns and the ARN-18 Cloak field. Also get rid of the shield extenders/armour plates. In my opinion if your not dead your alive, ever half alive. Use scout fits and dampeners. Also remote explosives are good for when an emeny is chasing you down....drop one by the corner then blow him up! I recommend using scout series suit (caldari) 1 ARN cloakfield 3 Complex Dampeners 1 ZN-28 Nova Knives 1 Sub Machine gun (At least) With this fit you cannot be scanned and no one can see you....also if you kill enough into scout suits with regards to CPU/PG output you can fit more advanced equipment on there. Just search up in youtube Winmitar Assassin dust 514 by 'Cyrus Li Moody'. In the description he shows exactly what fit he is using Tactical Assault Rifle's for life
