Hi guys,

I am greatly disoriented and confused, and truly hoping that anyone experienced, or a CCP may be kind enough to answer this question in which I can finalize a good built for my scout.

I am currently a Proto Gal Scout with proto Dampeners, Precision, and Cloak all proto.

I have been told that I wouldn't get penalty stack if I were to equip 3x Proto Dampeners and would instead make me more stealthier ( same can be applied to precision upon 2x or 3x or precision proto, the more chances to detect people )..... now I have been told the other way around in which I do eventually get stack penalty if I were to equip 3x dampeners and 2x precision enhancers ( is it sometimes better and more functional to have 1 single E-War equipment to avoid stack penalty, or are 3x better than one for better effect ).

My philosophy idea is to create a very stealthy/recon/rogue/spy Scout as possible and avoid being tracked.

I am not really savyy with numbers, and just want a clear answer.

My apologies since English isn't unfortunately my first language.

PS: Yes I am aware that such posting should've been taken into the Rookie Forum; I felt the General Forum is more active with people and topics.

Thanks,

here you go.. found an up to date thread about ewar https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=171787&find=unread

If you equip 3 dampners, the third one will be about half as efficient as the first one. So, you're better off not using more than 3 of the same kind of mod, regardless of tier. What I want to know is: do light damage mods affect sidearm damage mods? Just a yes, or not will suffice. So would two be better or just one? And Light damage mods affects for light weapons and not siderarms, Sidearm mods affects for all side arm weaponry, or so I believe.

It is just an updated version up to Hotfix Charlie of an old EWAR sheet that I made, it has been out since yesterday and I just recently fixed a small issue with it. That's really great information Little!! Thanks a lot! From reading your sheet statistics, from reading this Gallente Scout 1PD+C @ 18.073 2PD+C @ 14.147 3PD+C @ 12.127 4PD+C @ 11.441 Do the lower numbers represents the penalty of less effectiveness? sorry Im an idiot noob
