With alot of grinding to maximise the fit.
They can only hide from a few scanners for 30s and once they shoot they are a sitting duck.
Sure you could troll some objectives but not really efficient use of a suit. This is what we will get if anyone with an equipment slot can use a cloak. Its meant to be difficult no impossible.

I'm saying that it would be pretty worthless to have it on anything other than a Scout.

Also, stop trying to bring up headshots as the magical cure to DPS. They are there for EXTRA damage, not to make up for terrible base stats.
Yet ironically, YOU bring up headshots for the scrambler pistol. I think you're not thinking calmly about this (as shown by that dichotomy), so I wont attempt to reply to your post further on that.
I'm getting frustrated because you have no experience with the weapon, no data to back anything up, and you just don't seem to grasp the points I am trying to make! (or are just refusing to acknowledge them)
I specifically stated that ScP's do NOT need headshots to give them a good DPS. READ MY MATH. An ScP WITHOUT proficiency can take down a shield tank in one clip to the chest.
A fully specced out Flaylock can't do the same to an Armor tank. Not even close.
Here is some more data for you!
TT-3 actually does 84 damage instead of 75. Here is the new damage to a Cal assault, with 600 shields and 200 armor.
First 6 shots will deal 600 damage to shields, and 23 damage to armor. You now have to deal 177 damage to kill target.
You can deal that last 177 damage in 3 shots. You still have 2 shots left in the clip.
Now lets try the same experiment with a Proto Flaylock with Proficiency. Against an armor tank, with 200 shields 600 armor.
1st shot deals 156 damage to Shields. DIRECT shot to the chest.
2nd shot deals 44 damage to shields, and 140 damage to armor. Direct again.
3rd Shot deals 260 armor damage. Direct again. Target is still alive with 200 armor left.
Reload.
4th shot (Direct) Finally kills target. If he had regen going, he might even survive the fourth shot (I only killed him by 60 hp. A good rep hive could save him during reload.
Do you see the problem here? Not to mention that a ADV ScP with no prof outperforms a Proto Flaylock with full proficiency against ideal targets, but it also hits it's targets instantly and gets a 4x bonus to headshot damage.
Flaylock has a delayed fire and only 1.4x damage to headshots, along with requiring more TTK.
It needs a rebalance, and Damage is the only way to fix both it's TTK and it's underperformance.
I expect a decent, well thought out reply when I get back from my chem class.
Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face.

What you are saying is basically equivalent to saying, "Cloaks (or at least the basic cloak) isnt really that useful, because it 'only' lasts 30 seconds, and once they shoot they are a sitting duck"
There's at least two things off in that attitude: 1. in dust, 30 seconds is a long time 2. with 800hp, they're not much of a "duck", and more of a mobile small blaster turret
A good player should be able to take out any TWO opponents with it, by walking up beside them in cloak to flank them, rather than having to go some insane loong way around, then lining up headshot fire before decloaking.
Or contrariwise, replace my example gek, with a SHOTGUN. Decloak behind them; BAM,BAM, 1st one is down. 2nd one notices, stsarts to turn around and react.. but so what, the 800 tank will let the logi survive while he lines up some SG blasts on the other one. Get the idea now? Especially if he's up against medium suits, so he wont even show up to them, even when he drops cloak. So, he'll know "something" happened, but if the logi is behind him, he'll be flailing wildly. So, might be able to take out 3 or 4 this way.
Only scouts should be able to pull off that sort of thing. not logis. Worst case, they should be fitting-gimped so hard, they would have to have equivalent HP to an ADV scout.
The fitting penalty is not currently sufficient for cloaks.
PS: "FUD" is a term used to describe tactics of vague handwaving. ("Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt") I used hard numbers, so it doesnt apply.

You are spreading fear and uncertainty about a setup you claim to be a beastly fit.
That Amarr setup is slow and has one weapon and nothing else going for it.
A scout with stamina and kincats that can sprint and get under way more scanners and can do infinitely more in 30 seconds.

Bonus on Logis does not apply for cloaks. @IWS - My opinion is if its a choice between having a cloak and loosing a grenade or EQP slot ... Leave the cloak out of the game. Give me two equip slots on each suit w/ states released last week and release. The cloak is something that devs think is a 'fix' for scouts, and its not. Its a novelty item but my equip and grenade slots actually matter.

Nothing too drastic but maybe like 1% total ammo every 10 seconds per level. At proto level you'd get 5% per 10 seconds, which would fully replenish a fully depleted weapon in 200 seconds or 3 minutes 20 seconds. Of course these are just example numbers and open to change.
This would fit with the whole relentless Amarr lore stuff perfectly and is very much a combat focused skill, which goes well with them being a very aggressive race. Wow, yeah, that sounds like my favorite one so far. Yes.....and given that EVE side laser tech has not ammunition values and is essentially limitless..... However I strikes me as and oddity, not a bad bonus by any means, just odd. True, it's a bit outside the box and possibly hard to implement but could be cool - would have to entirely replace the stamina bonus though I reckon. No dice then. Stamina bonus is by far the best fitting and only worth while bonus left to the Amarr on this one. I already dropped my argument down from Complex Cardiac Regulator. I will not drop it from less than ADV regulator. Actually, I see no reason why this could not be combined with the current stamina bonus - I don't think that would really be overpowered.

TBH I dislike how noobs will be unable to use what's probably going to be a defining feature of a class, although it does provide some barrier to it becoming FotM immediately.

Scouts are going to be very, very powerful next build. Not going to judge whether they're overly so until it happens, though.
