I'm a scout too (run the minmatar variant), but after the 1.2 update with the stamina nerf, I am starting to lose hope  |

With 1 complex you'll have over 400stamina given you have lv 5 biotics (a must)
I do have level 5 biotics, but since the minmatar scout only has 2 low slots it's hard to fit a cardiac regulator since I use 2 complex kin cats (need the speed) |

Hey guys, I was wondering on what your thoughts are on this idea to improve scout mobility

I love my scrambler pistol/SMG combo but I'm worried that in 1.8 I won't be able to kill heavies with them at all, even with a 5 second jump on them because I'll have to reload/switch weapon before I'm able to finish them off. I can't reliably get pistol headshots enough of the time, so my advanced breach TY-5 with 2 damage mods will only be doing around 200 base damage before taking into account sentinel resistances. If I'm going up against whichever heavies get 15%/10% resistance to lazors I'm reckoning on it taking an entire pistol clip to take them down, by which time I'm already dead because they turned around in 0.1s or their teammate did. My SMG might be alright, once I take the shields down, but we still don't know what nerf they're going to be getting - damage, I'm guessing. So the only other alpha weapon I'm realistically considering is the shotty (open to other suggestions but I outright refuse to go rifles). So, those in the know (mathppia I'm looking at you [:blink:]), based off currently available stats and the assumption that the shotgun stays as is in 1.8, will SGs be viable to take down heavies in 1.8? Which heavies get bonuses against plasma weapons? Actually, while we're doing this, which ones get bonuses against lazors? Theoretically, how much tank will those heavies be able to fit and so how many shotgun blasts will they be able to take if I land full damage every time? [wow, this a pretty tech heavy post  ] Minmatar has 15% to laser and 10% to blaster Caldari has 15% to blaster and 10% to laser I'm not a big fan of the breach pistols. I certainly had the utmost love for them in chrome, but the now comparatively lower fraction of suit health they take away per shot plus the slow rate of fire just isn't worth it to me. Certainly with proficiency the TY-5 does 150+ damage a shot but it really isn't viable against tanked ADV suits or any proto suit. One downfall of the shotgun is that it doesn't have the killing power to stop someone from turning around and blasting you in the face. If the shotgun stays as is, this really won't be any better, however the amount of HP you need to tank will be reduced (hopefully) because of the reduction to rifle damage. (which means more EWAR or damage mods or biotics  ) The damage profile reduction for shotguns wont be that significant for shotguns, mostly because those two will be low HP.
Sorry if I misread, but they're going to actually lower shotgun damage in 1.8? In no way does the shotgun deserve a nerf for the kind of damage it puts out, even if almost everyone stops brick tanking, that doesn't justify the shotgun getting lower damge imho. Add on the fact it's effective range is 4 meters, I might as well use knives at that point. ( I do love knives though, but I wan't my damn shotgun fixed too)

Question is, what is really the minimum tank that is necessary? If you're going to do it at all, what amount makes it actually worth it? Would this be enough to stop me being one-shot by things like scrambler rifles? Shotguns? http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/0/1562 Minimum tank for me in my proto suits are 5-600 hp. Any less than that and I know ill just die a lot in 1v1 engagements. Minimum tank overall if you're a scout should be 450 hp. Any less and you can be killed before you can even react... Maybe that change in 1.8 though with nerf to rifles Oh wow. So much of my current and planned fits fall really short of that. lol. It's fine. There's nothing wrong with having lower hp than that. It depends on your play style. Mine just happens to be more of a slayer play style. Plus ttk is going to take longer so minimum tank will probably drop. All depends on how fast you die in 1.8. So until then don't revise your fits :)
What would you say about this fit then? It's supposed to be a hybrid between a slayer and sneaking fit :p where I take down unsuspecting enemies and basically haunt them

I have mixed feelings about 1.8 .... Yeah I'm happy all us scouts are getting buffed, and we deserved one for a long time now... But I can't get over the fact that all the FoTM chasers are going to flock to the scout suit and brick tank it into an assault suit. It just sickens me. No intent to be like an assassin, or think like a scout, rendering it into a dumbed down assault suit... I know this is just a petty issue, but I can't shake this feeling. And as soon as scouts become FoTM, we'll be nerfed again and it's back to square one... I ask myself sometimes what's the point in even playing anymore when this game is just an endless cycle of unbalanced buffing and nerfing

Starting to get tired of people complaining about the cloak... it was nerfed before it even deployed in 1.8 FFS. There's already downsides like the loud cloaking / decloaking noise and the bright shimmer when moving around (shimmer is at full effect EVEN AT WALKING). Getting the impression that most of the players in this game are blind and or have no sense of situational awareness.... -_-

It seems like every thread I visit that mentions cloaks, Cotsy8 appears out of no where and ALWAYS posts a giant wall of text of how cloaks are crutches them immediately assumes that all players that use the cloak are scrubs  Dude just give up...

I really can't wait until I get my Minmatar Commando, it'll be a nice transition from the scout suit for a while, and the potential mayhem this suit can cause

I haz question....
Should Cal scouts be able to scan Gal scouts with a few precision enhancers? The fact is that Cal scouts can already scan every other suit in the game with a substantial amount of range, all except for the Gal scout. A Gal scout is practically immune to any form of passive scanning by enemies. But cannot scan other scouts unless it sacrifices it's only two high slots, assuming that all other scouts are fitting a damp or two, and have no where near as much scan range as Cal scouts. But isn't the whole point of the Gal scout to be unscannable if fitted properly?
I iz confoozled...
On a side note the only real problem that Gal scouts have is the ability to brick tank like assaults and still maintain better stats than assault suits themselves, but I've suggested countless times that there either has to be a penalty towards scouts when using armor plates that are more severe than the penalties it would have on other classes. But I think more specifically it should only be a penalty towards regular armor plates, not ferroscale or reactive, those are a ***** to fit.....
