Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1985	Posted - 2014.09.08 18:22:00 - [1] - Quote What do you do when your cloak is on cooldown? Where do you hide? I've found the cloak to be a detriment most of the time. I end up having to worry about moving around the same way without it. It only adds the distraction of having to worry about cycling it. Brick tanking a scout suit since April 2013!

Most maps have pillars or crevices to hide in while your cloak is on cooldown. If you are dampened then you can usually just run outside of the fire fight, behind some waist high cover and be mostly safe. He imposes order on the chaos of organic evolution...

Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 1091	Posted - 2014.09.08 18:31:00 - [4] - Quote I wore a cloak when they first came out but not since then. I don't have much of a problem seeing a cloaked scout but part of me feels they are detrimental to the infantry side of the game. Your game f'ing sucks, but I'll still play it, damn you! Turns out I wont.

Arcturis Vanguard Murphys-Law General Tso's Alliance 297	Posted - 2014.09.08 19:23:00 - [6] - Quote When my cloak runs out, I proceed as normal to wherever I was heading to begin with. I trust in my abilities as a player and don't use the cloak for protection. Amarr Heavy V Amarr Assault V Caldari Scout V Caldari logistic IV Prof V HMG & FORGE Prof IV CR, SMG Prof III ScR

I've found the cloak to be a detriment most of the time. I end up having to worry about moving around the same way without it. It only adds the distraction of having to worry about cycling it. I try and pay attention to my timer, especially if I am running a longer route to get to a lightly or undefended objective or CRU. I will decloak if I am in an area where there is cover to let it recharge before heading back out into the open. Cloaks can be a detriment in really low light, and in most instances I run it as if I can be seen, because I can. It is particularly useful at the proto level when dealing with Amarr scouts specialized in scans and when you get the "You have been scanned" message. That being said, always look for back ways in, and try to flank. That way, even if your cloak timer runs out, you will be out of their field of vision and can still be stealthy. Worst comes to worst, I try and have my gun out instead of my knives if I am uncloaked and think I might run head on into someone. You can always tell a Millford Minja

Have always been Minmatar, even pre 1.8 when most people who did play scouts went Gallente. I use a cloak. It has legitimate scout uses, and not everyone uses it for broken mechanics. Stop cloak shaming. You can always tell a Millford Minja
medomai grey WarRavens Capital Punishment. 972	Posted - 2014.09.08 23:09:00 - [11] - Quote Really? Sounds like you're a tad too over dependent on that cloak there Aajli. By the time my cloak is on cool down, I'm hiding or ambushing some poor soul. The cloak isn't hard to use; it's super duper easy mode. Edit: Unless your primary role is relaying enemy positions to your teammates, none of you are real scouts. What percentile of Dust514's infantry arsenal belongs to the category of machine guns?

OZAROW Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 1578	Posted - 2014.09.09 01:13:00 - [13] - Quote I take it you wernt a scout before cloaks, its about line of sight, you have to be more careful when your in a area where theres more angles and you can get smoked from range Yes, you just got rocked by a guy with a BOLT PISTOL and a pair of knives! !
Joel II X Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 3310	Posted - 2014.09.09 01:28:00 - [14] - Quote I used to hide back when they first released. After the nerf, I kept running wherever I wanted to go. They're so useless now... without the long durations, it's just a tool to be used for CQC combat.

No scout needs it if they're good enough. I'd rather use those extra CPU and PG for REs.

I trust in my abilities as a player and don't use the cloak for protection. That is exactly what I do as well. If there's a large group of enemies all the sudden I'll change course, but if I'm still on track to my target, I'll just keep going that direction. Why am I still here yet?

The cloak is something scouts needed a long time ago.

You meed lvl 5 electronics and engineering then, cause I can fit adv cloak with re's, 2 adv weapons and adv or proto modules on adv min scout.
2Berries Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 298	Posted - 2014.09.09 01:42:00 - [19] - Quote I call it the White Shadow. Running aroumd cloaked when there is no need to have it on. "hey, white shadow, nobody is here!" "we had them redlined, so i just white shadowed around alpha." Have you considered a career in costumed aggression?
Michael Arck 5445	Posted - 2014.09.09 01:44:00 - [20] - Quote Timing. Most of the time I'm behind cover or away from the engagement so I can have time to move freely while cloak is on cooldown Archistrategos *Where the fear has gone there will be nothing....only I will remain*

Edit: Unless your primary role is relaying enemy positions to your teammates, none of you are real scouts. Technically Minmatar Scout is not about "relaying enemy positions " It's about hacking a point and clearing a point for teammates. Amarr Scout is better for relaying, Cal and Gal for dropping uplinks and killing any stragglers and Minmatar as I said above. I cleared out a point the blue dots one day, just kniving anybody I seen in the area and then take off. I couldn't hack the point because after I killed someone, someone else would come in. Unfortunately nobody came and hacked the point, then the game lagged out and I got no isk for my skillzzzz!!1!
