If you are talking about the baseline skills, then yes. You can even go with the "if it is a baseline skill that gives you a blanket buff, you should use it." Engineering and Electronics are much more of the "Fork and Knife" of the steak that is the DUST skill tree, essential, but anything that is a flat bonus and not module efficiency is generally worth skilling up because it is always in effect. Sure, you can get into the fact that it is not always super useful if you are running around as a Heavy or a Tank to have Range, Damp, and Precision maxed but they are still good to have.
Same thing with % HP, Sprint Speed/Stamina/Recharge really.

Dampening is most important, as you will easily be killed if you are scanned.
Then I would say Range, because that is your bonus, and Precision third.

Don't dampen...as with the 30% bonus from caldari scout operati0n V and dampening V you dont need to. I run precision with codebreakers to catch any sneaky scouts sneaking up on me on my radar

I have precision and range to 5. Dampening to 4.
The PE's are nice to have. Slap on two to scan arrogant scouts who haven't put/skille enough damps on (I've scanned a cloaked Gallente Scout with only one PE before).
Range and Scout to 5, and I don't need to fit an Amplifier on the suit.
I have been scanned once (no damps fitted, must've been a Proto Gallogi). I've been passively scanned and then ambushed by an ak.0 scout (or maybe he just saw me).
Give the Magsex some love.

This is solid advice as well, IMO.

Last weekend I spent roughly 10 million SP on
optimizations on Gallente stuff and fully going Level 5 (from Level 2) on Dampening/Range and Precision. I never fit those modules but I am hoping the passive bonuses give me an Assault edge

They'll help you see unskilled assaults...once they're in your face or just around a corner.
Too bad anyone who wants to win doesn't run assault.
Scouts and sentinels 514, man. Feels bad.
@OP: You want both. Both will make you live longer. Whichever you do first, if you prefer hiding go Dampening, if you prefer seeing go Precision. |

Gallente Scout is undisputed king of EWAR.
Pure gk.0 EWAR - 2 Complex Dampeners, 2 Complex Range Enhancers, 2 Complex Precision Enhancers, and proto/adv cloak. w/ shotgun, TAR, BAR, or ACR....will have people raging...
just like this.
I guarantee it.
It's dampening CANNOT be broken and scanned while cloaked.

Yes I have used fits similar to this, its a nice role to play but personally I grew to dislike it in some ways as with this fit, you are great in a squad or solo and offer a very heightened sense of awareness for yourself and squad. However you have:
A. Bugger all speed (which is I guess a personal preference maybe)
B. Bugger all hit points, (A rail rifle or other rifleman you didn't spot or you were not made aware of by your scans will pick you off in a split second at even 80-100M range.)
C. I would argue more limited in your weapon role (I.E high alpha damage weapons [SG,PLC etc..] suit this loadout more than general rifles)

They wont.
The base range on the assault is really bad, so even heavies, despite having a huge signature, are practically invisible without direct LOS.
Dampening to V will only hide you from basic scanners, which are quite rare on the battlefield.
Precision won't help you without range.

I wish we had a new role for medium suits specifically design to disrupt a suits ability to find a signature...

ewar is king in any situation, even heavy vs heavy, cause you can see them before they can see you.
I miss 1.7 i was a god, nobody even knew what a dampener was, why did 1.8 devs make scouts so op, causing every osborne wanna-be to flock to ewar why!!!!!
.... i blame tom cruise
lp cal scout i demand it

Thank god, within a month Rattati may realize these skills mean little unless you are against mercs
with no suit bonuses / passive Ewar skills .. then they'l do fine
Against a scout, actually running scout... you'l die

Gal scout + 3 Complex Dampeners + Proto Cloak being tracked by a Commando with a Laser rifle (not saying it's the commando or the laser rifle) it was when i hit the bottom with this game. I have a Cal Scout too, that's beyond useless. (being tracked by heavies when i'm using 2 Comp Dampeners)
Why did you guys listen to all these cry babies and ruin the game for us ?! Anything other than brick tanked suits is borderline useless.
Choices we made were supposed to have bonuses and consequences.... I ended up with 2 Proto Assault Suits, 2 Proto Scout suits, 1 Proto Heavy and Proto Commando... Choices don't mean anything anymore. It is better to remove that "Description" section from each suit, weapon and item. it get's changed every two weeks anyways. |
