DUST Search - scout or assaut suit?

Right - - an unscannable suit with almost a minute of near invisibility, a gun that can one-hit kill every non-Heavy suit in the game (a gun moreover designed to destroy shields) is on equal footing with a suit that it sees at all times and is running 200 shield, 80 armor, no damps, no shield-regen mods, no hacking mods, no armor mods, and no speed mods in order to make that other suit pick only two (rather than four) of these same mods.

Anyway, I cannot wait until a week or so into Charlie when all those who say Cal scout is OP, Gal scout deserves to be invisible with 2 slots to spare (in fact, after Charlie, in most cases 3) - - especially those who skill into the supposedly new and improved assault suits - - get ganked every other second by invisible SGs running around them in circles.

Then the Gal Scout and SG will be nerfed so badly that they, like Cal scout in Charlie, will become useless. At that point, I'm sure everyone will be happy when they're dying from bullets 70+ meters away.

The circle of (Dust 514's) life.

Gallente beat it in every way. While Caldari is left with 300-500ehp, gallente have more hp,more speed and is permamently unscanable. Side Note. ScR users on enemy team = caladris dont have chance to play. Just sayin. Gallente scouts suffer movement penalties that make it so if you do stack armor plates you can't get the full benefit of passive E-war. Stacking of anything beyond having an e-war fit normally only works if you're trying to be a "lite assault," this being the case means it is better as a "lite assault," than a caldari scout. And dampening in general is a smaller advantage to scouts than being able to see 87% of the team... The Caldari's scouts bonus still works well with adding some stacking to their racial tank. The Caldari scout does not have to worry about the regen rate/ timer because it will still always get its shielding back in less than a few seconds no matter how much shielding it tanks. Whereas a gallente scout must wait at least a minute for its armor to completely return if it relies only on its passive regeneration. Not to mention the Caldari's weird hitbox... A Gallente scout can be killed with anything because its tank is armor based and only like 5 weapons give a shield damage bonus. I would say that their both on about equal terms, probably... Gallente scout, heavy, logi, and assault Eternal Can I haz ur isk?

The only thing keeping the Gal Scout from being the most OP suit in the history of FPS was the Cal Scout. I guess the Amarr Scout will work okay, but a frisbee RE toss should make the detection a moot point. And yes, there is hyperbole and a touch of exaggeration in my post. I just don't look forward to all SGers. You got the Gal and Cal scout mixed up there. I'd like to think it, "goes both ways..." Gallente scout, heavy, logi, and assault Eternal Can I haz ur isk?

Honestly after Hotfix charlie shotguns are gonna work best on assaults because the suit will be faster, and more flexible to fit. If I used my assault to stack Complex Ferroscales and Kin kats it would beat any scout suit because Assaults will have more eHP so they'll survive shotgun blasts more... Also, in hotfix Charlie, Caldari Scouts WILL be the best scout. For the following reasons: 1.Caldari scouts will have the EXACT same dampening bonus that Gallente Scouts have. 2. Their racial tank will allow them to stack Shields without worrying about speed, or regen. 3. Their radius coupled together with their amount of high slots will allow squads to be able to see almost every enemy within a very large radius. Sure gal scouts might able to stack more hp than caldari scout, but when you're against any assault in a "lite assault" gallente dropsuit, chances are you'll lose miserably after the update hits, as it should be...

That's all he says, what if my gallente scout could have 4 complex armor plate and have them all return after a few seconds of going into cover/ using a cloak, it's not "only better regen."
