This is the greatest thread ever.... it makes being a scout so much more bearable.
I have 3 alternate characters, only 1 of which I occasionally use.... he's a Logi about 300k sp away from getting the proto Gallente logi suit.
I've been playing him tonight since I capped out.
Every game he has been using a militia minmitar light frame. What can I say.... popping people in the noggin' with the pistol is so dope! Maybe I should just bail out and use that 900k SP saved to spec into a Minja scout with him so I can taste those waters..... so tempting!

Why's that? Precision helps with pinpointing the red dots right? At this point, I'm just looking for red dots and how many, and how close together they are. Not seeing much how that would help? |

Found the Problem. Basic knives SUCK. Capital S-U-C-K. Really. ADV is the way to go. With basic knives, you will almost ALWAYS have to land a fully charged dual swipe to kill Basic-ADV suits. ADV knives give you almost 2x the damage, and Charge over 25% faster. They are cheap to get as well. DO IT.
I can't fit anything else right now - need to work more on core skills and even then... |

A point or two in Precision will enable you to pickup undampened Light-Frames. I can think of no reason to skill Precision any higher. |

unless you plan to use precision enhancers there is no reason to skill precision. without using mods its useless and as a scout in this aim assisted AR game you need hp more then precision mods. would have been nice before aim assist and armor mod buff.

That is just swiping so when fully charge i believe it doubles or triples the damage. Also the Advance only does 150.00 damage without proficiency. So, to give backing to my prior statements about not needing suit bonuses: ADV give 150 *per swipe*. Two swipes. Charged. Gives 600 damage, when you're taking out a hacker. Headshot gives even more. If he's somehow not dead, another quick tap gives 300more. or charged, gives another 600. So, as I said, you dont need the minmatar knife bonus for assassination. Thanks you just made me realize I can run the advanced cheap knives with all my bonuses an still have 210 damage a blade, an here I been wasting isk on the proto............*FACEPALM*
See I disagree. You cant really take out hardly any proto suits with a single charge. Even some scouts have over 600hp. Also Im not sure if knives have resists to shields vs armor. Handily I have actually taken out two people with one charge. Granted they have to be pretty close to each other, but having that bonus is really helpful to tipping the scales from 2 hits to 1. With the crappy hit detection and the high chance of missing, the need for killing with a single swipe is paramount.
Think about it this way, the difference between a duvolle and std ar is a single bullet on most suits. It makes a huge difference though. |

See, comments like these are really getting on my nerves. What the hell is scouting now? Hiding from active scanners. What else? Oh, right. Anything else is better done by other suits. I wish you guys would make a laundry list of things that I'm supposed to do as a scout, so that I can capture video to show that IT ISN"T POSSIBLE IN THE CURRENT GAME STATE to be any good at those things. |

In the multi-level maps precision lets you know when to decend on enemies. Also useful for doorway/corner defense and uplink/CRU camping even when invisible.
Wallrun more often in hot areas.

By the end of today I should have all ewar skills maxed. Hoping for some unpublished perk, but I also just want to be done with it! |

distraction? *check*
sabotage... not sure about you guys, but *check*
target practice? no way those aim assisted ARs do the tracking for them
and fyi, I keep aim assist off for hope when AA (if) gets nerfed I'll have an advantage at aiming. |

Took this off of dictionary.com a person who observes and reports on the techniques, players, etc., of opposing teams. verb (used without object) 9. to act as a scout; reconnoiter. 10. to make a search; hunt. Base on this we really should be up on high ground Sniping and relaying information to our ASSAULT forces where the enemy is coming from.
Took this off of dictinary.com For being Stealthy the act or characteristic of moving with extreme care and quietness, esp so as to avoid detection This is what you should be doing and if you can't do this that means you should be a Assault. Being silent and unseen is not going to be easy to accomplish it requires a lot SP and practice, but using the suit as not intended will equal in failure and/or unsatisfactory results. |

But scouting is pointless if everyone can just scan. Why take an extra person when you can just fit a piece of cheap equipment? And I don't know about you, but even if I get the drop on a Cal Logi with >1000 eHp, first shot is a head shot, I still am not sure I'm going to win that fight. Hell, heavies are back, because they can turn and kill you in the time it takes to get two shotgun shells or 2 NK swings off.
Should I just run around, hiding and scanning? Cause I'm not using a sniper rifle. |

[EDIT] and also AA is so strong when I move with my knives and suddenly turn into a wall its so strong! [EDIT] also, medium frames can do distraction and sabotage better or just as good. have not used AA since the first day of 1.4
but what I have done is dropped my sensitivity from 100/100 to 30/30 for AR and ive done well with that most kills with 30/30 38-6 but its way too slow for shotgun & KN

"Controller: you're using it wrong"
How can you NOT be able to do this? Sounds like you're just too chicken to try it. Its freakin easy. You dont even have to charge the second one, so it comes in before the enemy even has the time to register "what, I got hit by something?" That's an immediate extra 300 followup attack. Maybe your problem is evidenced by the fact you even mention shotguns in here. Forget about the shotgun when you have an open back to you. Knife >>> shotgun.
Besides which, in pub battles, i've never seem a logi with more than 1000 hp. lots of 800s, sure. |

Got scanned for the first time today since getting my gal scout lvl 4/dampening lvl 1. That's the first time I've seen someone using a proto scanner so far. I just didn't think they were worth people's CPU/PG but apparently some people can fit them (proto gal logis I expect). That said I was already down at the time and still went on to go 11/4 that ambush, so it was alright in the end.
In other news: 2 weeks til proto gal but I really don't see myself ever using it unless D2D manage to double our regular player counts and get into PC. |

In more other news - I'm having a great time lately flanking large groups and picking them all off one by one as they focus on my team to their front and no one even turns around because I'm not appearing on their radars and unless they aim directly at me, I don't even get a blue chevron. I think my KDs actually gone up by 0.01 or 0.02 in the last couple of weeks because of this.
Still, the moment someone does look at me, I'm dead. There's no running away these days, especially with lack of speed and lagging hit boxes. Incidentally, has CCP ever made a comment about the laggy hitbox situation? |
