Although it's debateable IMO about the other scanning skills on your Gal Scout. I think you'll find success on the Gal Scout leaving them at 3 (assuming Damp is already at L5)

this is a forum alt. i have almost 37 mil now. but your right it will be a pain in the ass if i dont go proto now. then i could easily grab a pro shotty especially if i cap out today before the omega booster runs out.

no ive looked at the numbers before i even picked gal scout and it's definitely worth it to get them all to 5. precision 5 gets the minjas and amarr even if they dampen, and gets the gallente and caldari who don't. even range is important because then you can get the most out of one low slot, and have room for a ferroscale or kin cat.

hey does anyone know if you need the proto cloak to be invisible as gal scout with 2 damps? or is advanced fine?

ADV cloak with 2 damps appears to be enough (14.83) to even beat a Galogi with a focused scanner. I'm looking at a chart that our guys tested and married up with CCP's numbers.

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but I thought it took 3 damps and a cloak to be immune to scans.

We have charts?

Where?

Gallente scout suit is the only one I have at proto...and it's all I need, really.

I would go Gal scout proto. It has 2 bonuses, plus cloak fitting that frees up a large amount of PG and CPU. These benifit the blueprint, ADV and STD suit, more slots if you want to run proto. With the leftover SP save to go into Precision, and range bonus you could get in about 2 caps. Shotgun bonuses aren't note worthy. You dont need too much ammo or to reload to often in a OHK weapon. Forge guns need nanohives so no signiant differencein ammo there. Reload also doesn't change much from 4 to 5. The way i see it you can use 1 week and half to get a top of the line scout suit, or spread out the SP into vairous specific bonuses with littlle change. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.

DarthPlagueis TheWise 61	Posted - 2014.09.22 13:30:00 - [13] - Quote Yeah I already spent it all on level 5 scout. Thanks for your input guys. I think I've decided to take my sniper rifle up to 5 next, since a dampened scout is a perfect sniper even with the range nerf coming. I love sniping in Destiny and I have an exotic rifle. I always used to hate it in Dust but now that I've been reminded how much fun it can be, I want to give it a go in Dust. This battle I was just in they were rushing Delta from the Alpha bridge point, and I realized it would be a good idea to pull out the sniper. Worked like a charm.

DarthPlagueis TheWise 62	Posted - 2014.09.22 16:08:00 - [15] - Quote no it was always 2 damps with advanced cloak. thanks for clearing that up. being a gal logi myself i'd say anything more than 2 damps with basic cloak is just a safeguard. i mean to be honest nobody runs focused scanner in pubs. youd be just as well off without the adv cloak. but i will get it eventually just to stay cloaked longer

Assuming your main is gal scout, go to gal scout 5, no question. Unless you have Aurum proto, in which case go to 4 and finish your scan skills.

With the suit bonus Cal and Gal need 2 damps. Min and AM need 3. Cal gets the bonus because without it they would be the only scout unable to get under scans because they only have 2 low slots.

Still, it would annoy me having to use two different fittings, one for range amps and another for profile damps. And having range with no precision is also pretty bad, that's why I didn't pick Cal scout. I really like the new Gal precision. It gives me that peace of mind that I don't have to worry that some invisible scout is near me unless he's actually using the right modules to counter me.

This will give you enough flexibility for scouting purposes. A lot of scouts don't dampen enough, and if you throw on one or two complex precision enhancers, you have yourself a decent pub scout hunting fit. You can always tell a Millford Minja
