I can not save the day. I am a squishy.

I found myself in matches in the last few days in pubs or FW,
trying to keep it all together when all falls apart.
But I have a dinner table cloth for shields.
But alas, I can not resist to attempt to try, and I die all the time trying.
Being new and have only 2mil= sp does not help. But, I try.
Just dump 700k sp in SMG instead of shields just so I can fight, make a stand against my foe.
Sometimes it works, mostly it does not. I am no match to an AR, or many others for that matter.
Still, I fight in defiance recklessly in my squishy suite.
Not an easy path for a upcoming scout. Dam rough actually.

my lil rant is fin

Have you tried remote explosives?? You only need 1 level

I'm in a similar boat on one of my alts.
I would suggest that, unfortunatley, you made a big mistake in putting that much in a weapon, before survivability.
Plus, the whole ideal of "making a stand" is off. You shouldnt be standing, you should be running ! You're a scout! :D


Instead of that last 300k(?) in SMG, you should have put it in armor. At least level 1.
If you insist on going on non-ninja confrontations, then having a bunch more armor, will probably help you die only half as much ;-)

If you have logi support,you can go double full armor modules. armor level 3 would make that 220 extra HP
otherwise, you "only" get 170 extra.

If you dont have logi support, make it 1 armor plate, 1 reactive. At armor level 1, that gives you 110 extra HP plus 1 point of repair.

Scouts, we die alot. This is known. If I have to make a stand, at least I want something to make a stand with
while I save up sp for shields, armor, knives, explosives, hacking, oh the list goes on and on.

When you say shield and armor, are you talking about the skills? If so, put your SP into other things for the moment.

Most AR users can't seem to handle me when I quickly switch strafe (even with AA). ...
. Most meds seem to expect scouts without shotguns or nova knives to just flee after being seen and usually react poorly against a scout flying into their face.

having ONE point in armor, is nice to unlock the reactive plate, that gives you (a bit of armor) plus 1hp regen, for no movement speed penalty

It's "easy" to make that message go away.



Skill up into Gallente, and your passive scan range skills :-D

I've an eve side character, I'll have a quick rundown of the chat controls and see what I can do.

1) Most AR users can't seem to handle me when I quickly switch strafe (even with AA).
2) Most meds ... react poorly against a scout flying into their face.
3) If you are scanned, leave. A scout that the enemy knows the location of is a dead scout.
4) And finally, duvolles will cut you down no matter what. Cook nades or use REs.

Thanks, Brother!

Iggy used his Eve Pilot to create a secure channel for us last night. At this point, its a "back-up plan" in case we Scouts aren't content with the state of Scouts United down the road.

Please tell me you destroyed him with the shotgun at least a few times.

When you say shield and armor, are you talking about the skills? If so, put your SP into other things for the moment. They are helpful but not essential (we have too low of eHP for the percentage bonus to warrant SP that is more useful in other areas). If you are wanting to use SMGs, they only really shine after getting SMG Ops to 3 and Sharpshooter to 3.

Edit: You should still get enough skill in armor to use standard tier plates and reactives

As for the ARs, yeah, we all know what it's like to be on the receiving end.

The best methods I've found for dealing with them is to learn areas where the meds roam and avoid them or approach from an unusual angle. If you are noticed while in SMG range, quickly strafe back and forth but don't get locked into a pattern. Most AR users can't seem to handle me when I quickly switch strafe (even with AA). If you are noticed outside SMG range, run around a corner and wait for them. As soon as they pop around the corner, jump forward and away from the wall. Blast them while in mid-air then start strafing after landing. Most meds seem to expect scouts without shotguns or nova knives to just flee after being seen and usually react poorly against a scout flying into their face.

If you are scanned, leave. A scout that the enemy knows the location of is a dead scout.

And finally, duvolles will cut you down no matter what. To be fair, they cut everything down at the moment. Once you know who is using them, fight them using indirect means of confrontation, such as cooking grenades or REs.

I wish i could, but I am Minmatar all the way. I nova knife/smg primarily, and I like being able ohk heavies in the back, among other things. I just look forward to the day when all the scout racial variants come out, and we finally get the love we deserve. CCP should thank us for sticking with the Scout so that this doesn't just become Point and Shoot 514.

whaddya mean? you need level 3 in explosives for that.

2 more days.

Didn't have the chance, was on my cal logi. I didn't realized he was on other side till bout half way through and then iI was like..hold on a minute. I think we have a king douche in here. His team was royally ..yeah. We trapped them in that spot for the whole game.

Wanted to see just how bad he did so I pulled up the board after game and realized he bounced when his team lost all their clones. :(

VAHZZ proclaims the excellence of the Scout class, O' how awesome they are. Ninjas and Snipers alike..
