The last couple heavies I managed to slash down.. man.. it was like a fuckeng massacre. I'm sitting there chopping and hacking at him, meanwhile he's trying to shoot me with his HMG. I start jumping up and down cutting and just running my knives back and forth.. really putting my elbow into it...
And then finally +50. I was like yes! Did a half ass unbalanced walk in a circle to proclaim my victory while trying to wrestle with the EQ wheel to turn on my cloak only to get blasted down a second later.
Those heavies are tougher.

Seriously though. Basic Frames are useless now.

Omnomnomnom tasty cloaked frames. I love being a cal scout with a shotgun. It's fantastic. I'll link a vid from tonight that shows the badassery of the cal scout. I can't find it on the twitch stream and I need some sleep. If u feel like digging it's during a gal research socket.

So I finally spent the rest of my saved up sp from pre patch. Adv cloak, proto bolt pistol (prof 2), and proto magsec (prof 2). The cloak is super fun and amazing watch people freak out as they can't figure out where you went. I watched a guy run around a box 4 times looking for me before I put him out of his misery.
Also the cal scout is pretty awesome. I can see everything and at proto it looks so freaking cool. |

Advanced notice: I'm going to double post, lol. First post; about assault rail rifle. kinda.
I love ARR. I like the sound. I like(d) the DPS. But it sucked too, because
- too freakin expensive - too much of a cpu hog.
I was excited to see an alleged generic "assault rail rifle" on the weapon tables.... But it's not in the store?!?! SO I was pissed for a while... until I found the MagSec.
O MagSec, how I Love Thee!
It has seemingly similar DPS. It's cheap. It has teenie tiny fitting costs, comparatively speaking.
I may never use an ARR again.
Come to think of it, i may never use another main weapon again! :D

Okay, now on cloaks, and fitting.
Burned my SP into proto cal scout. Woo!
But outfitting an ADV suit. Turns out i get 292cpu, 55pg I found a fit that uses EXACTLY ALL OF IT! lolz...
std cloak is nice. ADV cloak is worth using, if you are going to cloak in and out a lot.
SO, my fitting:
MagSec ADV knives ADV cloak Militia Range Extender ...
and 1xbasic armor, 3xcomplex shields. Eheheheh..hehehehehehehehh......

Not much to change, it's just hell on Min Scouts.
Once again, the red headed stepchild.
Cal Scouts are at the top of the food chain. With a single Precision, they can scan me with a proto damp. I can dodge while cloaked, but not if they run two precisions. I don't use a shotgun, so I lose the alpha battle.
Unless I wanna use Knives/Shotgun, I will always be easy prey to Cal Scouts. I cant kill them before they can close the distance and OHK me.
Not only that, but the sheer number of scouts on the field is STAGGERING.
Everyone is either a scout or Heavy.
Not kidding. Med frames are a rare sight.
Couple this with most people skilling into Cal Scouts due to their ability to tank and their ability to counter-scout, and you have a very not fun patch for non-Gal scouts.
So I spend most of my time trying to knife heavies that don't pay attention, but thats harder to do because of cloaks. All of them are paranoid as **** now. They turn around constantly, and since the cloak does not hide you very well at all within 20m, they just see the shimmer and spray.
The only great thing about this suit is the hack speed. Dear god the hack speed.
It's crazy.
I will say this about 1.8. The most fun I had was 2 hours after the patch hit (When I first got on). There was nowhere near as much scout and heavy spam, and that was truly fun. I was going 11-2 (Not high on the kills) but going 1500 WP + each round. Pop in, get a kill, hack an objective and scamper off.
Now there are so many scouts and heavies everywhere, the battlefield is just freaking CHAOS 24/7.
Not a big fan of that part.

Interesin. Maydepend on map.
I just played a Domination, on Line Harvest map. Lot of heavies. but seems like a fair amount o mediums. Some scouts, but not overwhelimingly so.
I usually die there a lot. However, once I twigged to using my ADV cloak, in situations where scouts usually, "hope, pray, and run"...
umm.. wow. I became a slow but stealthy killing machine. By my standards, anyways
I couldnt believe how often I could walk up to people at a slight angle, like I was invisible or something. Oh wait.. I was :D
It let me evaluate, back up, and reapproach for a good flanking angle. or simply back off completely, with a "whoops I didnt realize a whole squad was there..."
I may actually like 1.8 scouting after all.
.. MMMM.. MagSec....
.. wait, what was I saying? |

last one for the night: speaking of bastardry... did they stealth nerf the deadman switch for REs?? I tried the "special delivery for a logi+heavy duo" trick, but cloaked. Dropped it, died, spammed L1... and nothing happened :( fairly sure I was std bleeding out. I would be upset if it is officially gone.
On the plus side, the fools stayed in the same corner, so I gave them a late delivery once I respawned

Finally found a play style that meshes well for me in 1.8. I am able to kill those RAAAAAAGEGäó inducing heavies with face melting HMG's provided I get the drop on them and have cover... I am not taking advantage of my armor in this build because I am favoring EWAR over tank. I tried a couple beefier ones with 500 - 700+ eHP and it just didn't work out. With the build below I was able to use the Cloak to maneuver into position and then perform headshots with CRG at close range from behind preferably.

Only managed a couple of matches yesterday because it took me about an hour to get all my fits sorted!
Had a lot of fun. Skilled into the advanced cloak and have it on my sneaky fits but honestly don't think I'll be using them often at all. Pretty much the only suit I can see myself running these days is my adv gal with 2 cmp prec 3 cmp range TY5 Breach ScP, M209 aSMG, K2 nano and REs (think I'll drop to the F45s from boundless to save isk because damn those are pricey!).
Went 9-6 then 22-6 and managed at least a couplke of kills on cloaked scouts that thought I couldn't see them - laughed my ass off! One guy was cloaked camping 2m from the enemy objective but I knew exactly where he was and 2 shot him from 30m away :) Another guy was with 2 buddies, all got out of an LAV at the same above objective - one cloaked and camped 10m away while his buddies hacked, so I just crept around the side, took out the cloaker and blapped one of the hackers before the other managed to flee in the LAV and I got a nifty 80wp for the counter-hack :) thank you very much.
Was trying to fit out some shielded kinkat suits though and have nowhere near enough PG for it, so that sucks a little. In fact, with half decent weapons and equipment (all advanced IIRC) I don't think I can even fit 3 kinkats :(
The scrambler pistol range is just gorgeous now and my breach is beautiful - have to keep reminding myself that I can hit that guy at 50m and still do decent damage! The SMG is still pretty good but the range is still about as far as I could throw the bullets myself - that's ok though cuz it's my CQC weapon afterall.
REs still don't detonate if they stick to walls rather than the floor.
Oh yeah and one last thing - having 2 equipment slots now, I keep forgetting I have a nanohive as well as my REs but it's just as well because every time I do remember it takes about a minute to get the DAMN EQUIPMENT WHEEL to select the right thing!

Replace SMG with CR, lower fitting cost, higher DPS, longer range! ;)

Are Basic/Proto Cloaks worthless or Adv Cloak just to good?
I'm looking at the regen rates
Basic cloak regen: 1.5s per second Adv cloak: 2s per second Pro cloak: 2s per second
Basic cloak just is pitiful. Pro cloak is good but when pitted against the Adv cloak it doesn't offer much for the added isk and fitting cost, for just +20 sec of duration to an already hefty 60s total duration.
I feel like the proto cloak isn't worthy of being pro tier at all and is an expensive sidegrade.
