Whether it was Scouts or Slayer Logis.
Don't get yourself confused that it was the problem with a dedicated role.
Heavies will soon see the same problem. Hopefully we are moving towards a point where there is a viable role for all suit types.

Cal Scout is pretty boned though. Even on the Min, I'm having real trouble making it with 2x Damps and cloak. I use my 3x damp shotgun fit fairly often now to allow me to get close enough.
I told everyone when the changes were posted. If you don't want Cal and Min scouts to have an insanely hard time dodging scans, they will need a damp bonus. 2-3 low slots is not enough.

Aren't heavies killing with HMG's? Aren't assaults dominating with rifles? So why is it that scout shouldn't be able to kill?

Scouts have to use all slots to damp so they can hide from Assaults and logis? Hmm, reminds me of pre 1.8.

You mean giving the role to assaults like always. You might as well just delete all suits other than assault/medium frames. They can tank, they can scan, they can be speedy, they can dampen. They can play the scout role better than the scout.

Cal scout is the only one that is pretty done now. You can still use it as combat scout and put high scores but it's just not worth it when you have assaults, which are better and way funnier to use.
Min scout will still be for hardcore players. On good hands, you can slay and ninja hack objectives with 100% efficiency.
Gal scout is still the best scout and EZ mode scout.
Amarr scout is the best scanning suit in the game period. If you put enough ranges on lows, you will be able to see EVERYTHING in the range of 10-15m (closer scan circle); though it's not worth it when you there is gallogi having good native eWAR, more HP, more slaying capabilities and them scanners.
Stop the QQ, scouts are overall still king of slaying if fitted and used properly. And you don't have to put a Breach AR to see it.

Not true, Amarr scout has no stealth, min scout can't even get close enough to knife people before being blown to bits. The only scout that is good in the gallante one which is still going strong with the shotgun. It has 4 lows and it has a dampening bonus which helps it be stealthy. The Min Scout could be stealthy but you have to sacrifice all your lows to profile damps just to get under an assault scanning which is really stupid in my opinion. Cal scout has no role.

Damn, you did not get the newest fit of the month? Scouts are so not en vogue anymore, now it is Minmatar Assault with kincats and...[Drums]...a cloaking module!!! Faster than a scout, strafe like the devil. Speed was always better than dampening: people may see you, but if you are too fast for them to react...the rest is self-explanatory. Simply respec and go all Minmatar Assault: latest FW rush to Minmatar already was the first sign of this development, now it has kinda grown up, and turns out to be one most ugly child. |

scouts done lmao, never but i did notice that the game flow has changed the two weeks prior i was killing anything that moves but now it feels different so different in fact that i had to take my 20,000 sp and invest back in a scout fit. i started off as a min assualt but swithed to a scout because it could keep up with my brain as far as movment,reaction,and physical ability. i bought a skillbook reset and went full min assault two weeks ago and was loving it, but this morning as soon as the update was done i could'nt kill a thing so i got me a basic min scout ( 296 EHP) and now im back to basics and killing again scouts cant be nerfed they can only get better.

No thay are not. SG/NK scouts still terrorize in towns and outside points.
Ps. Why are people constantly telling that : gal,is ez mode, cal is done, minja is hardcore, amarr is [something]? Minmatar scout only looses little portion of hp compared to other scouts while having great bonuses [hack/nk]. It also have its speed. Minja - the one worth using.

ADS are done for because they lowered the bonus for Pythons (I actually believe it to an extent with swarms)
Tankers are done for because they buffed installations
Logis are done for because something
Scouts are done for because now they don't know what direction people are facing (OH THE HORROR!!!!)
Heavies are done for because they nerfed/buffed the HMG
Rail Rifles are done for because they buffed to recoil (I have noticed a lot fewer rail rifles)
Assaults are never done for because few people use them to begin with (Still want a better Caldari Assault bonus)
Other then Assault suits what in this game isn't done for/ruining the game?

You don't like having solid EWAR values, running at between 9-11 m/s, good biotics values, having the smallest hit box, 2 equipment slots, same ligh weapon fitting capacity ,and a bonus to visual cloak..... etc?
You want more that that?
You have mobility, equivalent DPS, essential invisibility, an essentially small sig radii......

about 10% of scouts run over 9.5 m/s, smallest hit box means nothing when there is aim assist, you can see a cloaker from a mile away and now scan them and we don't have bonus to light weapons like assaults. OH don't forget a ton less HP.

You would die before you hit the punk with a forgegun in CQC and in Long range you will miss about 80% of your shots.

Hacking is a minor bonus. It's worth one complex complex codebreaker which is much easily put on another suit. Nova knive bonus is useless because everybody and their mother can scan you if go up behind them. They see you coming, the back pedal, boom boom dead.

First and foremost that is still between 2-3 M/s faster than most every other suit in the game so don't look to unfavourably on that. Small hit boxes do come into play while strafing and at range other wise most if not all of the community would not have spammed scouts for the last X months, your cloak is supposed to be a tool to help you sneak around by reducing your ability to be seen and scanned to a degree not rending you completely invisible, and since not assault bonus actually adjust light weapon DPS....... you do have access to exactly the same DPS values as any other suit except the Commando.

What do you mean "real" scouts. Scout have no role anymore. Caldari scout has almost the same scan range as a logistics suit!!! (thread in feedback/discussion). You make no WP for scanning people. If I layed scout like a scout being a pu$$y and staying far back to give team scans, my team would be the one making the WP and im just a piece of equipment. Have you ever though and thought about if logis didn't get wp fro being a logi, they would turn to killing. This is same as scout, if they can't make WP providing scans, they will kill.

I couldn't disagree more! I find it easier to FG the closer the enemy is, especially a behemoth lumbering along. People tend to panic as soon as those blue balls whizz by their face, especially HMGers, they tend to rush the kill and overheat. 80% is very exaggerated. I tend to nail any target no matter what range by the second shot. If I don't connect by then and the HMGer gets within optimal, 3 complex cardiacs allows me time to outrun any armor plated heavy.
If strength were all, tiger would not fear scorpion.

OH don't forget a ton less HP. First and foremost that is still between 2-3 M/s faster than most every other suit in the game so don't look to unfavourably on that. Small hit boxes do come into play while strafing and at range other wise most if not all of the community would not have spammed scouts for the last X months, your cloak is supposed to be a tool to help you sneak around by reducing your ability to be seen and scanned to a degree not rending you completely invisible, and since not assault bonus actually adjust light weapon DPS....... you do have access to exactly the same DPS values as any other suit except the Commando.
Yeah, strafing is so OP and that is why the top two killers in PC are sentinels. Oh please. I can strafe in my Min Assault like a MOFO. I can strafe like a MOFO is any suit. Also small hit box with low hp=medium hitbox with medium hp? False. Aim Assist help no matter what especially in CQC. And 2-3 m/s like I said don't get yo any where-Aim Assist. Btw, yes cloak is a tool but pre-1.8 before the cloak you knew how worthless the scout was in killing and everything.

Protofits doesn't want to load: But here are the facts a Standard Minmatar Logi with one complex codebreaker had a hacking spee factor of 1.88 and a prototype minmatar scout no code breaker has a hacking speed factor of 1.72 which is .10 less than the LOGI!! also P.S. A prototype Min logi has one extra low slot and high slot over the min scout. So basically by putting on one complex codebreaker it used up one of it's EXTRA lows to get to min scout status.

Scouts received a precision and profile buff.
With max Ewar, and without mods, an assault will have 41 prec/41 profile.
A scout will have 36 prec/31 profile
A logi will have 41 precision/45 profile
The ranges will be scout/assault/logi... 3k meters/3k meters/3750 meters.
As you can see, we only received a slight range nerf.
Note: testing done with Minmatar Scout, Assault, and Gallente Logi. |

I respectfully disagree brother. As the Min Scout is the only Scout suit I run, I speak from its experience. I run 2 KinCats and a Complex Damp on my "RoadRunner" fit, moving at 10.35 m/s. I carry a Combat Rifle now. Before this patch, I would simply run up and knife people, because they rarely detected me. However, now I shoot a couple bullets into their backside. Doing this, I'm already uncloaked, and they turn around. When most people turn around, they stop going backwards so quickly. As they do this, I leap from my sprint, charging and landing right in their face. I knife, and they drop
Long story short: Change your tactics. It may take all Lows to Damp and a Proto Cloak, but don't always run that fit. Have numerous fits ready :) And Cal Scouts primary role in my eyes are the Combat Roles. Strafe plus 400 hundred shields and high-regen.

We're getting close. Assault sales have finally overtaken Scout sales: http://dust.thang.dk/market_historycategory.php
Hoping the post-1.10 numbers favor Assault by wider margin. The sooner we help the remaining "assault scouts" find their way to Assault the better. The HP nerfs outlined in Echo should do the trick. In the mean time, we should stick to our guns and not throw handouts in response to tears from "assault scouts". These were never Scouts to begin with. |

You make no WP for scanning people. If I layed scout like a scout being a pu$$y and staying far back to give team scans, my team would be the one making the WP and im just a piece of equipment. Have you ever though and thought about if logis didn't get wp fro being a logi, they would turn to killing. This is same as scout, if they can't make WP providing scans, they will kill.
I have a CAL pusyoto fitting lots of antennas and with a focused scaner, cr with a dmg mod. On some maps I use my "Illumiati" fitting while I camp and make smores for my corp mates who are feeding off my passives. The foused scanner is so i can control my misc. blue minions when they get confused as to what they need to be doing.
We need a piece of equipment that temporarily boosts the ewar gear in our fits so we can burn through the fog of war, and get points while active like the active scanner. |

I have a Cal Scout with maxed ranks, and three ranks in damp. If I put even a pair of Enhanced Damps on the thing (And I do) I have 18 profile which dodges almost everything. If I actually bothered to max my damp skill on my main it would be trivial for the Cal Scout to dodge almost every scan.
I have no issues murdering people with my PLC or Shotty Cal Scout fits, it's the second most naturally damped suit in the game due to the 15% inherent bonus it receives.

instakill weapons with a range of 2.5 metres and a charge time?? The minmitar scout also has low eHp and needs more dampeners to get under the radar.

According to the numbers, 1 damp on a Cal scout gives 20db. Realistically this isn't going to be scanned by anything over 8m other than a max precision Amarr scout, and even then only within 15m.
This is unless focussed scanners become popular. |

Ps. Why are people constantly telling that : gal,is ez mode, cal is done, minja is hardcore, amarr is [something]? Minmatar scout only looses little portion of hp compared to other scouts while having great bonuses [hack/nk]. It also have its speed. Minja - the one worth using. Hacking is a minor bonus. It's worth one complex complex codebreaker which is much easily put on another suit. Nova knive bonus is useless because everybody and their mother can scan you if go up behind them. They see you coming, the back pedal, boom boom dead. Someone would need 2codebreakers to be almost like minja with one [most fits] and it's good bonus. Who will scan you? You mean these paethic 6-7m [with skills] scan range? I would already charge my NK before someone would notice me on tancet. 6-7m is literaly 3steps for minja. Shhh... you don't know young one. I have been there and done that and I know all. BTW, Minmatar scout with no skills has less base hacking abilities than the min logi. P.S. the logi has 2 more slots. Let me go make a protofit real quick to show you. Protofits doesn't want to load: But here are the facts a Standard Minmatar Logi with one complex codebreaker had a hacking spee factor of 1.88 and a prototype minmatar scout no code breaker has a hacking speed factor of 1.72 which is .10 less than the LOGI!! also P.S. A prototype Min logi has one extra low slot and high slot over the min scout. So basically by putting on one complex codebreaker it used up one of it's EXTRA lows to get to min scout status.
And for sure that logi will hack the point undetected and w/o instant death. [Answer is Nope.]

I'm doing just fine as an ak0. I don't damp or brick I use my suit as intended and I'm doing decent as a scout.
And for you cloakers crying you are being scanned. No suit should be unscannable. That's just broken.

For the death of scouts and everything but Assault and Sentinels I've seen alot of scouts still (not as bad as before), and a few Logis which is normal. I have noticed more heavies then normal (aka 4) but then again it could have been that the Ambush match was centered around a small silo. And like 2 other Assaults.

Scouts' roles seem to shine in FW and objective-centric games now. Assaulting points and guarding unprotected/contested ones.
The Scout C-1 with cmplx damp and SG is a good places to start, however cheap and scrubby.

Just so you guys know, Dukey is not a scrub scout. Dude has been slicing and dicing and putting up ludicrous numbers in a min scout against top competition in PC, he knows how to use it.
He's just well aware that his role is being castrated and is no longer effective competitively.

All scouts except Gal are done. They need to give all scouts an innate dampening bonus like the gallente.

Scouts have been nerfed countless times, this isn't new stuff going on people. Scouts aren't done, the day they are done is the day their coding gets taken out of the banks. And I don't see that happening anytime soon. I remember when CCP wouldn't even **** on a scout and give it the courtesy of calling it rain. I'm sorry if that sounds rude, but us scouts, are far from done.

The final option left to scouts is to dampen and cloak. I wouldn't say that they're done, but their utility has been excessively restricted.

Is this not the purpose of a scout however? To dampen, infiltrate? I don't see why people are mad there are more Assaults when they literally should be the meat of the game, backed up by Logis, with Heavies for Point-Defense. Scouts are not done, and running two complex damps in a pub will get you under most scans. Throw on 3 and a Proto Cloak if you have to.

Scouts are by no means done yet, only forced into their intended role a bit more strictly. It can still shine, so use your innate abilities: situational awareness, unparalleled speed, your will to embrace risk for great rewards.
Seen a Cal Scout come unto a group of of 5 and decimating them all with his nova knife by pure speed, strafing and the advantage of small space confinement of the group, so there was no place to run to for them and too much risk of damaging bystanding brothers in this FW match, so he could use the little space between them to dodge and quick turn-strike. I cannot hope to ever be as skilled a scout as this one, but he definitely knew how to dominate the situation and how not to.
The scout is still strong under 1.10 in the right hands, if played upon its strengths and role. Now that many role deviating mis-uses, as imaginative as they may be are being discouraged via introduced scanning and armor plate mechanics, the return of the real scout (not FOTM scrub) is dawning and to be feared the more and for good reason: where it was still possible to save our sorry ass from unskilled scout band-wagoners pre-1.10 by simply spraying into their general direction, the real McCoy scouts will come to their right and our undoing, and I pay my fullest respect to them.
For the Logis: now, finally, quality suits, uplinks and nanos count again, rejoice. I logi a lot since 1.10 and enjoy that my contribution is finally singular and of clearly noticable value to the team again.
To CCP: Extremely good patch, some itches here and there, but great overall. Still missing the heavy Amarr weapon and vehicles still. Something to think about. |

This is what annoys me, "Oh just throw on three damps and a Proto cloak, everything will be fine." That is possibly the most ignorant argument a player can make.
PROTO Amarr Scout- If it threw on 3 damps and a proto cloak, what does that leave him with. ONE LOW SLOT- What are you going to do with that one low slot? Put on a kin cat? Armor plate? Armor rep? Code breaker? Range amplifier.
Min scout- same thing. except at ADV you only have 2 lows.
Should scouts without dampen bonus always have to run proto to get under scan? Gimp the sh*t out of their fits?Run all damps on lows to get under some freking scrub Assault/ Logi suit with 3 precision. Using 3 slots on an assault/logi is equivalent to using one slot on a scout suit.
This is why you see a lot of scouts Brick tank- because if you run EWAR- you run the most gimped fit possible in this game. Not only do precision mods/ range amps not do sh*t for you, but dampening makes you weaker than than a starter fit.
How about we do something about this bullsh*t and allow scouts to play like scouts? If you want to see me run up on u with a 600 EHP cal scout I run now, sure, but If you don't give me a reason to use ewar.
Literally logis, are better at EWAR than scouts.

Sure, to counter incoming threads like say, a tanker, does not allow you to switch suits in a matter of seconds w/o your deployable go poof, and you have to rely more on your teammates to weather this storm, but I do think this is a good thing, it will foster and reward teamplay the more.
To CCP: Extremely good patch, some itches here and there, but great overall. Still missing the heavy Amarr weapon and vehicles still. Something to think about.
Except we don't have situational awareness, nor do we have unparalleled speed due to the fact we have to stack damps on lows like a mofo.
P.S. Those 5 players must have been sh*t as hell.
Also, I see any scrub can pick up a heavy suit/ assault suit and do "good", why not scout? Scout- it's proto or nothing.
