I read the Dev Blog and I saw nothing that said Scout's were getting nerfed. The only thing I saw about a "nerf" was the much needed Cloak Field balancing that is to come in 1.9. I'm a Tier 5 Gallente Scout and I've been using the cloak since it came out and even after 1.9 is deployed I'll STILL use my Scout, as a Gallente Scout my specialty at being a "Ghost" isn't going to change and the Cloak field changes won't hurt me much since Passive Scanning isn't really the selling point of the Gallente Scout in the first place. The only sad thing for me was the native armor repair change from 3hp/s to 1.5hp/s but I'll get over it. Now... regarding all the Caldari and Amarr Scouts that feel sad that they're beloved Cloak + Wall Hack is getting reduced in effectiveness, let me play you a sad song.

But... but... how will I wtfbbqsplat everyone directly from cloak after these changes?
And I might actually have to damp because if I get active scanned people will be able to see me!
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Personally everything in the patch notes seemed perfect to me.
The only thing im on the fence about is the decloak timer for being able to fire back. There are many times where someone seems me and is sitting there watching my distortion field and I have no choice but to engage...I usually lose these fights in fact.
With a decloak timer I suppose it will entirely depend on how long they lock weapons to see if it will improve things. I think it is needed; but I also think a visual effect boost is needed for when scouts are slightly more mobile. I agree they should be able to be seen, so dont get me wrong there.
Im not sure if it's just my eyes or if there is a trick with brightness (like there was in the first planetside with gama) to see cloakers easier but sometimes I get spotted across the map when im stationary and have been in good cover the entire time.
But yeah, survived without cloaks before...only thing its going to do is make my suits a little cheaper to run if they end up bad.

@OP
They aren't dead. It's just that the FOTM slayers will move onto something else.
Scouting just got a bit more interesting is all.

The cloak field is basically being reduced to a novelty. If you use a cloak, you will do so just to be invisible, or be less visible when you're running around, across open ground for example.
If you want to take advantage of the scouts ewar passive scanning skills, you need to play scout without the cloak. It's a good change. Should drastically reduce cloaked shotgun scouts getting those cheap one-hit kills.

Remember when scouts had terrible sensors and everyone had active scanners and anyone sneezing on a scout kill them instantly?

We must nerf the scout or there will be nothing but scouts in 1.9
With the return of the scanner there will be nothing but GK.0's running around. Logi's and Scouts. Scan or avoid scans. That will be the game. Heavies will still have their logi's and point defense. The only useless class now is the Assaults they can't do anything right. You might as well run a scout with REs and a cloak.
Personally, I am confident respecs will provide the evidence to prove my theory.

scout wont be dead its basically just a nerf to cloak+passive scans.. and a buff to active scans so slap on a complex damp and your fine unless a L5 Gal logi with proto focused scanner comes along then you need damp and cloak to get under it.

I see very little effect on strife scouts and shotgunners, but a huge nerf to everyone else that plays scout gj promoting cheap gameplay. It is really hard to balance around problems, but ccp your are quite nimble... do you have a scout suit on?

I think I read a few people's reply's that made me think you guys assumed I believe scouts to be dead when 1.9 hits as well... just to clarify, I do not think scouts will be dead when 1.9 hits. I simply spent my morning reading the dev blog and saw a few people whining about the cloak nerf on the forums and thought I'd have a laugh at the expense of some of my disliked butthurt brick tanked Amarr and Caldari "Scout's".  I know Gallente brick tank their fits too, but I don't like to do that in fact, here's my favorite Scout G/1 fitting. I need to do some IRL stuff so I won't be back in a while but I'll pop-up in the forums when the opportunity arrives.
