Scouts are OP

useing Rifles bricked out to near 1000 ehp and some get like 500-600 ARMOR with a cloak.. its stupid.. they are still more powerful then Assaults if you take into account they are faster smaller hitbox faster shield regen and basically immune to passive scanning and advanced actives

What you gonna do about it? cause you already nerfed sents, you refuse to buff commando and logi.. you are just bending over the the FOTM or should i say FOTY

When I scanned this post I expected to see it dated from back in April.

Brick tanked scouts are not a thing anymore, especially since Alpha changed the sprinting penalty on armor plates.

I never, never, see scouts armor tanking anymore. Ever. What game are you playing?

This is a troll post plain and simple and I am tired of the belly aching.

Don't like it? Get gone and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. And that right quick.

My scout has almost 100% taken the place of the logistics role as well. It is simply better at nearly every role in this game and that needs to be stopped.

Za'ki doesn't realize that it's not the armor. it's most scouts have figured out that their hitboxes are tiny and can strafe through oncoming gunfire like ballerinas dodging 500 Lb fat men. So no, bricktanking isn't a thing.

Even after the assault buff I'm still not seeing too many reasons to be an assault over a scout.

I use a Caldari assault dropsuit simply because I like reloading my RR in 0.01 seconds...

You can whip out swarms fast enought to make ships run for cover, too...right up till they realize they are militia swarms & come for your a$$

Sick of scout QQ. I run at 305 ehp, die when most things sneeze at me, spend most my time planning attacks over attacking, then hear about how OP i am.

Adapt & overcome, b*itches.

Scouts are OP yes because of cloaks and also that regen. I'v seen caldari scouts with more hp than my min assualt and it's not fair for a scout being an assault type. I could choose my min assualt or my gallente scout as an assualt, but I succeed more using my gallente scout. Why? better regen, decent ehp, cloak, and that damp. Scouts can also be used as a logi too. So overall, scouts can be scouts, assualt or even logis.

Are you on crack or all of you so far stuck on "MEMEMEMEMEME" mode. Look at the big picture.

No a scout can't pack on more health then an assault... A Minmatar scout vs a Minmatar Assault... Not a Minmatar Assault vs a useless fitted brick tanked caldari scout that couldn't really accomplish anything...

You take any of the four races a Minmatar Scout vs a Minmatar Assault, Caldari.... Galente... You name it.. Put them in a field and have them duel... The Assault will win every time... They have more health and more damage.

You Put lame players in a match, Give them a pile of SP and what they think is the strongest Fitting ever that should be able to kill anything that exists in DUST and has no counter.... And then put that player in a match and anything that kills them is either Hacks, Lag, FOTM, OP or Sadly CCP's Aim Assist.

Summary : It's not the OP or FOTM make believe you guys keep telling yourself, It's your ability to play the game to advantage what your using.

No don't nerf scouts im on the road to level 4 gal scout and im half way there. also how do people get brick tanking in with Ewar and cloak?

if scout had 3 equip slots it would be better then assault(as it is now) AND logi.

1-2 complex/enhanced shield extenders, 1-precision enhancers(2 if you have enough armor tanked), 2 complex profile damps, and 1 of whatever kind of plates you want(if proto 2), a cloak if you feel like it, and remotes. Beyond that it's all personal preference...

Edit: you get enough passive e-war to not have to run damps or precision in pubs at lvl 5 gal scout. So beyond that just tank, and kin cats if you want...

It isn't better than assault

You get smoked every time in a straight up fight with any assault worth his salt

We can only carry two EQ and get no efficacy bonuses to any at all so we don't outshine Logi's

This butt hurt QQ STREAM that is caused by running pubs full of terribads like yourself against organized squads of people are killing these forums. Its not even possible to argue or reason with 7 QQ Threads per Hour.

Wrong.

1x damp for pubs, with 2x kincats+ferro
1x precision, 1x shield

You're golden

(someone's a scout fufufu) Listen I understand that when you have something that's OP you don't want it changed because lol I am gud player. But let's stop for a second and think, "hmmm can my scout suit do the same role as an assault, or a logi, at almost morbidly equal or greater level than the latter?"

It's not that scouts are strong at what they do that makes them OP it's that they can do their role and then move to any other role they want without any sacrifice or risk to their suit. If a logi runs like an assault suit they can't switch to sidearms when they run out of ammo on their weapon, unless you're an Amarr logi, but the detriment is that the movement speed is very low.
If you're an assault you can run logi but you're limited to one equipment. If you're a heavy you can run a light weapon, but your so slow that you need greater damage output for your HP to mean anything.

If you're a scout and you wanna run like an assault... well you run like an assault . If you're a scout and you wanna act like a logi... uhmm you put on equipment like a logi.

This is where the issue is, it's not that scouts are good at killing, but it is.

Your obviously new here... So I get that you think that someone is just a scout. I However am over 48 million skill points, i kinda am everything?

I have 5 alts.. each going from 12-28m Skill points. I have played and can play anything this game has had to offer. I Have played this game since Open beta actively and played scarcely in Closed beta as the game gave me a headache then. The head bobbing!

I have been around in this game...

And no.. No scout suit can be a logi better then a logi... Period... I play every logi suit and it doesn't even come close.

No, no scout suit can match the damage abilities, and versatility of a Commando or an Assault.. Math and numbers just say so, playing the game from both roles tells you this just the same.

I hope you aren't saying scouts can be better heavies?

Scouts have one advantage, that, is the ONLY thing that gets people offended and have them thinking they are OP. Prefire.
They can track targets through walls and buildings and kill you like you have rarely ever felt in any other multiplayer shooters out there... It annoys people..

Cloak is fine, and probably the most balanced representation of a cloak ever used in multiplayer shooter games to date...

If the Tac-net worked so that you blipped peoples "Dots" on the radar with your advanced scanning instead of having god-mode vision... Then lets you highlight targets that you have had direct eye contact with for a cooldown period... There would be fair and balanced play.

That just won't happen for reasons known, we warned CCP when they introduced the tac-net upgrades and active scanners in dev-blogs, that they would be opening a can of worms with balanced play and how wall-hacks are not the answer for scannng.

At one time the Radar showed every player.. it was like a giant chess match in which everyone could see the pieces.. flanking took skill and was fun.

P.S. Regardless if you see this suit or that suit strong. The Nerf cycle has to stop. This energy needs to be focused on buffing something to compete or create a counter to something that doesn't exist. Not nerfing, it makes no sense.. again in that big picture we where talking about in the very beginning.

They don't. The OP is a scrub
