EWAR should remain in the hands of scouts and logis. That would make Assaults a bit too good at everything. Packing a scanner should headshots .

Buff the assault ewar to the scouts old stats, the logi is the support class that needs to be supported. The assault is the frontline, the logi is the middle, its the cheese in the sandwich, and the reason assault suits are getting creamed and scouts are running wild is because a logi is not going to keep scouts in check because by the time they've seen them the scouts have eaten the assault s and half the heavies and the logi is all thats left and thats why the games broke, scouts are fine, buff the assault so that with a precision mod or two most scouts are forced to run a damp and maybe precision mods to now see dampened scouts.

If you dont do this and nerf scouts then buff assault suits your gonna create a way bigger problem. Buff the assault ewar first then let it run for a month and you ll find the true direction a fix should move in.

If people were constantly notified like the active scanner there would be an uproar I am sure. I mean people hated it when it was active scanners, now scouts can cover 3-4 times the area, constantly, without notification, while firing/cloaked/whatever. Fixing EWAR

High amount of suit slots at an early time Mid high amount of PG/CPU Logi mimicking with their PG/CPU and equipment slots Can increase their lethality multifold by using cloak or their low profiles alongside a certain variety of equipment Best regen compared to all other suits Absolutely no functions that bind them to a team, or make them take on the actual role of a scout. *Later on major tanking ability. Players are either too complacent because they get enough kills to not care about scouts or there's a case of delusional alongside ebola going around

As long as you have your sensitivity at an appropriate place and your aiming is decent an Assault will have an advantage against Scouts in open ground duel. And I think that's enough.

Then, there's the whole perma-scan thing that's unavoidable for anyone who isn't also a Scout... Not all the scouts are meant to be lousy with health. The Amarr scout is obviously supposed to allow for a highly tanked approach hence it's relatively high amount of lows and starting HP. Also it's bonus to stamina rather than EWAR. The Gallente is the high stealth one with a good option to hunt hunt. The Caldari is meant for assassination with the option to stealth. Minmatar is meant for a glass cannon approach. Granted they're made for stealth but it's only one thing they're made for. They can be played more than one way just like every other class and it should stay like that.

Imp Smash Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 252	Posted - 2014.10.17 03:58:00 - [28] - Quote I don't think scouts fitting options are unfair. I don't think they need an ewar nerf. I don't think other classes need an ewar buff. I can even live without a change to the cloak mechanism. Cloaks are dropping way faster than intended and allowing for guns but it's not too bad to be honest. The only problem that needs addressing on scouts is how they take damage. A scout should not stand in one place side stepping back and forth through an umoving laserbeam and take 0 damage. It shows poor hit detection/netcode

Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1726	Posted - 2014.10.17 04:08:00 - [30] - Quote I think that they should somehow move the slayers -- up front, in your face -- from the scout suits and into assault suits. The sneaky pre-1.8 scout playstyle needs to remain viable though. There are simply too many slayers in scout suits at the expense of assault (and logi and commando) suits, IMO, and this ratio is even more extreme in PC (the majority of players are heavies & scouts with a logi or two thrown in in tight places.)
