Good players flock to high mobility suits, which is why the scout generates so many tears. If you want to make a slayer suit that good players will use, make something that is fast, agile, regenerative, and small. Seriously. "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms.

If you're referring to the assault class, it already is. I personally use my assault more than my scout or heavy, simply because it is a BETTER slayer. All the assault needs is slightly more scan range, and more regen as well, and it will be superior in every single way to the scout, in terms of slaying. The only thing the scout is useful for is finding points of heavy spam, and avoiding them. The assault can't because its scan range sucks. "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms.

I would love to see another light suit since the "pilot" place holder just gets moldy sitting there. Players want to kill. It's a FPS after all. There are 2 heavy suits, 2 medium, and 1 light. That's right, isn't it? But the only way it would be well received by this whiney, entitled, short sighted player base is if it sucked at killing. 'Cause if it was any good at slaying, can you imagine the va gina tears? "Stay gold, Ponyboy..."
Lynn Beck Delta Vanguard 6 2308	Posted - 2014.11.30 03:12:00 - [6] - Quote Scout has better Shield Regen, as well as identical initial DPS, meaning ACR, SCR, and Shotgun are all perfect with the suit, because you can unload a clip, then use your scoutly abilities to hide between reloads/cooldowns, thus making it the ultimate assault suit, as it has: Better Regen Better DPS application(You can't be caught with your pants down if you're omniscient) Similar HP values(your 25% less HP also comes with a 25% smaller hitbox, so HP is null, even moreso your EWAR allowing you to see every Med/Heavy within 22 meters.) IMO the only thing we need to do is switch Assault and Scout's shield regen numbers. That alone would make Caldari scouts need a shield recharger when tanking, compared to the "I have 450 shield at a 2/4 delay timer that all recharges at 50/s :D" meanwhile assaults have maybe 400 shield, and if they manage to pull off 2/4 delays, there's still the problem of profile, blindness, and the lack of 50/s on recharge. Scouts(Caldari in particular) are just better skinny assaults. If this "nerf" still manages to not pull scoutslayers away, Then take away a weapon slot, and make a variant with the 2 possible setups: Sidearm X 2, or LW X 1. This lets Assassin Minjas have their NK/SMG, or just a CR, also lets Gal scouts have Ion Pistol/Whatever, or Shotgun. That also, coincidentally, adds a - mark to running SG scout, as you literally only have that weapon. General John Ripper -BAM! I'm Emeril Lagasse.

Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 607	Posted - 2014.11.30 03:23:00 - [7] - Quote The assault class is pretty good these days, but the weapons should have some additional advantage. A Scrambler Scout is almost as effective as the Amarr Assault. The current bonus allows higher sustained DPS, but I want something more. I would like to see a rate-of-fire bonus for the Assault class, primary and sidearm. 1% per level. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG [CEO of Terror]

I have only dabbled with some Neo commandos in the past. I don't run it. What is it that prevents the commando from being better than I hear? With two light weapons it should be a versatile killing monster. Is it too slow? Or does it just need that sweet clean HMG? I'm seriously curious about this though. "Stay gold, Ponyboy..."

Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 2953	Posted - 2014.11.30 03:47:00 - [11] - Quote Lynn Beck wrote: Scout has better Shield Regen Yes, this is true. Assaults should get a regen buff. I have been arguing that for a while. However, in a 1v1, the assault is always better. as well as identical initial DPS You have 2 additional module slots on an assault, as well as well over double the HP. You can spare at least one slot for a damage mod on an assault, whereas a scout needs all slots for eWAR or biotics or HP meaning ACR, SCR, and Shotgun are all perfect with the suit, because you can unload a clip, then use your scoutly abilities to hide between reloads/cooldowns, thus making it the ultimate assault suit, as it has: These weapons (excluding shotgun), are better used on their racial assault. ACR has an 85 round clip (WOW), and the ScR can fire a fully charged shot, followed by almost a full volley, or just a ridiculous number of shots that a scout couldn't match. These weapons (again, excluding the SG) are much, much, MUCH better used on the assault. Better Regen True. Assaults shouldn't necessarily have better regen than scouts, but they should at least have better regen than what they have now, which is pitiful (excluding the Gal assault, which has VERY nice base HP/S) Better DPS application(You can't be caught with your pants down if you're omniscient) Scouts are far from omniscient. To be "omniscient, the scout has to sacrifice several slots to scan the assault, and can't use the cloak. The assault can put a single dampener on, and remain unscannable by any Min or Cal scout who doesn't use a precision enhancer. Two dampeners, and you start dodging precision scans. You also won't ever get caught with your pants down if you're paying attention. Listen to your surroundings, and try to avoid sentinels Similar HP values(your 25% less HP also comes with a 25% smaller hitbox, so HP is null, even moreso your EWAR allowing you to see every Med/Heavy within 22 meters.) Fabricated numbers are blatantly and disgustingly fabricated. Assaults have over twice the base HP of a scout, and there is literally about a 10% size difference, AT MOST between the hitboxes. Im questioning if you have ever played the game right now IMO the only thing we need to do is switch Assault and Scout's shield regen numbers. Shield regen for all suits SUCKS. Nerfing scout regen is not only a bad idea, but is just a butthurt attack at people who are better than you at this game. Assaults, again, need a shield regen buff. Perhaps a slight armor one as well. That alone would make Caldari scouts need a shield recharger when tanking, compared to the "I have 450 shield at a 2/4 delay timer that all recharges at 50/s :D" meanwhile assaults have maybe 400 shield, and if they manage to pull off 2/4 delays, there's still the problem of profile, blindness, and the lack of 50/s on recharge. The only assault I have seen at 400 shield is an apex minmitar one. Which has, IIRC, very close to a 50 hp/s recharge rate. Also, having 450 shield will put you at a 2/6ish delay timer. Just to clarify. Profile-just put a dampener or two on. Easy. Blindness: All assaults need a scan range buff (all suits need a slight scan range buff), but they should only be able to see commandos and sentinels. If a scout sneaks up on you, he deserves to win, but even then, you have enough HP to survive anything he throws at you, and can take out his paltry HP pool with ease. Scouts(Caldari in particular) are just better skinny assaults. If this "nerf" still manages to not pull scouts layers away Good players will flock to high mobility, harder to detect suits. Thats how the game works. There will always be OP scout slayers, no matter what you do. If thats what you want to get rid of, Id suggest you file a ticket to CCP asking for people like Marauder, Frost Kitty, TTW3x, etc. to always show up on radar, have half their HP, and double aim assists effects on them, if they use a scout suit. Thats the only thing that'll pull them out of it. Scouts should be slayers in their own niche, just like commandos and even Sentinels should be slayers in their own niche. Trying to stop that is stupid, useless, and a last-ditch effort by a completely butthurt fool Then take away a weapon slot, and make a variant with the 2 possible setups: Sidearm X 2, or LW X 1. This lets Assassin Minjas have their NK/SMG, or just a CR, also lets Gal scouts have Ion Pistol/Whatever, or Shotgun. Sure, and lets also take away Sentinels heavy weapon slot, Assaults Light weapon slot, and make the commando Dual wield sidearms! Your suggestion is ridiculous, provides no balance, and is overall just bad. It castrates far too many play styles simply for you to be invulnerable to shotgunners just by bunny hopping away, because they now have no weapon that can hit past 5 meters. Its poorly concealed political nerfs at their finest. That also, coincidentally, adds a - mark to running SG scout, as you literally only have that weapon.

How exactly does this help anything when the most common Scout is Gallente? See second fix, introducing G-1 and G-2 suits. G-1 would have identical stats/fitting to G-2, but would have 2 sidearms instead of a single light. Now you can either run twin pistols, or knife/pistol, or SMG/pistol, OR you can run a single light weapon. To the snipers: You have super EWAR. Use it. To the shottyscouts: Good. You deserve to have a drawback nowadays. To the MassDriver scout: Well now you have to be just -that- insane. No more relying on your SMG as your primary, and using said MD as thine secondary.

Ive even started using my assault, whenever heavy spam is lacking. This only works for Caldari, and even then, the Scout has much better scanning and 2 equipment. Compare a Gallassault to a Galscout, or a Amassault to an Amscout, and the Scouts have much better all around Ewar, 2 equips, and a speed difference that actually plays a huge part. Please, make my Opus pretty...

I am being completely unbiased and brutally honest throughout this entire thread BTW. Im not intentionally trying to skew evidence to support my claims, or help myself in any way shape or form. Repair rate, regen rate, recharge delay, equipment, stamina Without those a slayer can't run, rep, or eve think about their next engagement. GimmeDatSuhWeet isk

I guess it works when you're comparing the most balanced suit type in the game(relatively), however that isn't true for each race. Also it seems you left out quite a few values in your analysis.(balance is based off every aspect of a suit genius) I only included the values that are important to slaying and helping the team.

Repair rate, regen rate, recharge delay, equipment, stamina Without those a slayer can't run, rep, or even think about their next engagement. Assaults all have higher rep rate than their scout counter part. Regen rate and recharge delays are, again, something I want buffed for all assaults. Therefore, those points are moot. EQ doesn't really help the slayer role as much as the support role, unless you're talking about PC, where the primary weapon is the HMG, and the secondary, the remote explosive. If you have one EQ, you're self sufficient, as you can carry hives with you. Stamina should be worse on assaults than scouts, but the difference isn't even significant (at least on the minmitar). Again, if the stamina is a serious problem for other racial assaults, which i feel it is not, then it is a stat that could be buffed without over powering the assault. "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms. FA's Shotgunning T-Dome Champ I piss Remote Explosives and shit Shotgun shells.

Then you try to say you're unbiased, yeah anyone with half a braincell can see that isn't true. I mean hell, not only is your original post a "don't nerf me bro" but you also have the audacity to suggest making another light suit that's better at slaying in the same post. Just another bunch of dipshits.

They run scout because it is faster and more mobile. Good players use speed vs. HP. And several slayers are using assaults now, as it seems to be on the upward trend in PC's as well as pubs. I can't be biased: I have both a scout and assault at proto, each maxed. If the scout is nerfed, it only buffs my assault, and vice versa. I have no reason to say anything other than to promote game balance. My original post is saying, "You can't nerf me bro, no matter how hard you try." Theres a large difference. And yes, yes I do. The scout isn't as good as slaying as an assault. The people who use them are, in general, better at slaying than people who use assaults. All the scout QQ is ridiculous. All CCP has to do is make a suit that allows good players to fully use their skills. Right now, the scout is the closest thing to that for some people, as it isn't perma scanned, and moves faster than anything else in the game. Also, why didn't you respond to my actual post? Are my points too correct for you to try to debate? "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms. FA's Shotgunning T-Dome Champ I piss Remote Explosives and shit Shotgun shells.
Funkmaster Whale Whale Pod 2521	Posted - 2014.11.30 19:52:00 - [29] - Quote Until wallhacks are removed from this game, Scouts will always be favorable for slaying. Knowing where the enemy is through walls while simultaneously being invisible to them completely negates any HP differences. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand how FPS games work. Again, until such time that CCP removes the wallhacks, Scouts will remain the best pubstomping suit. PC is a different case because it's likely everyone's running dampeners and sticking together. In those cases suits like the Assault become viable because engagements are based around teamplay and pushing objectives, and not just outright slaying. If you're constantly running with a squad that scans and backs you up and you run dampeners to remain off scans, the Assault suit becomes really good. For lone wolfing, Assaults get wrecked because of EWAR. Follow me on Twitch.tv!

THANK YOU. My assault slayer suit works just fine. I can take on most suits 1v1. Starter Fit Suits are OP :-)
