The only problem I have ever really had is with the armor stacking.

Otherwise, I find knives solve any Cal Shield stacking, and they don't see me coming because they didn't equip the precision.

Knives are beautiful this way.

Knives are the Great Equalizer. They 1 shot any suit, regardless of role, size, race or sexual preference.

The phrase "God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal" comes to mind

They are good now

Anyone opposed to replacing Tac SR circle dot with winged dot?

At the risk of offending some of you, I need to ask a tough question.

In a general sense, is the following hierarchy true?
GA Scout > AM Scout > MN Scout > CA Scout

Also, it's currently 82F in my room, I am wrapped up in a comforter and freezing. . . it's weird getting used to temperatures in the high 90s everyday

Come to California, we've been experiencing summer for at least 8 months now

I'm in on this action

You must have missed the part where I said I moved to California.
I've been in Riverside County since the 11th of this month. Will be here indefinitely. . . Seriously missing my car right now,

Now have an Exotic full auto shotgun and exotic gauntlets, now just need to grind some Vanguard marks and I can buy legendary Helm, Gauntlets and Boots and I'm ready to rock :)

I accidentally read a few of those Exotics as Erotic and now I'm wondering which might be more accurate

How long d'ya think it'll be until they release a DLC with a new race and class?

Sorry, this is about Dust not Destiny:

So I just had a crazy idea, well, more of a combo of other's ideas.

I was thinking of echo, and maybe making basic suits viable. Was thinking of advocating giving basic mediums 2 equipment slots to make them somewhere between assaults and logis, also making them equal price to the specialised suits.

Then I got to thinking about scouts and light frames. How about making scouts sidearm only, bear with me, and make light frames light weapon+sidearm with 1 equipment, maybe light frames should get a little extra hp too.

I know this would be a scout nerf, but there is still a lot of scout QQ. Sidearms seem to be pretty good now. Shotgun+cloak would become rare and save a lot of tears. You could still shotgun or sniper rifle with a light frame, making them pretty useful. Finally I don't see why light frames need 2 equipment slots, it kind of invalidates the idea we need 2 eqs because of the cloak.

What do people think?

Scout QQ is a lot about scouts being relevant in a way they were not between 1.0 and 1.8.

I don't like the idea of side arm only scouts, even though that is what I run. It completely invalidates the shotgun scout, which is a valid play style, sniper scouts and others.

Most light weapons do not deal alpha damage, so when it comes to light weapons fights scouts will always be at a disadvantage.

Light frames are worthless, and nerfing scouts to give them a use is not really buffing them. They lack the bonuses that make scout frames useful.

I get that there may be problems with scouts, but I am not always on board with what that issue is.

We can't really out assault an assault, or out logi a logi (except for maybe std level?).

If scouts were so OP, everyone in PC would run them, but from what I am hearing PC is nothing but Heavies and Logis.

I think the QQ comes down to having more scouts than before, and having them be more viable.

If after everyone has spent their SP from this recent event we are still not seeing more Assaults, we need to try and understand why, and it may be a weakness in Assaults and not a scout problem, or it may simply be an issue with armor plates on scouts, which can be addressed without nerfing every other scout that doesn't run plates to begin with.

Now have an Exotic full auto shotgun and exotic gauntlets, now just need to grind some Vanguard marks and I can buy legendary Helm, Gauntlets and Boots and I'm ready to rock :)

If Legion were designed in such a way that made Scouts "sidearm specialists" then I'd absolutely entertain the idea of Scouts being a sidearm-only class. As far as Dust goes, I would ardently oppose the idea.

I get what you are saying about the scout QQ, it is probably too soon after the assault buff to assess whether they are useful yet. I guess I was thinking "if" the scout QQ has any merit.

As for light frames, as a min scout user I feel I can be effective as a shotgun or rifle user without any relevant suit bonus other than the cloak. It seems to be the opinion of a lot of players that the cloak is not necessary for effective scouting (like before 1.7). Therefore I feel light frames would still be good, though maybe an hp increase would be necessary to balance the lack of bonus, cloak or 2nd equipment.

I also share your worry that sidearms lack the required power for effective scouting, although nova knives certainly do have enough. It also might restrict weapon choice too much. Though it would give sidearms a real place to shine. Decloak - breach scrambler to the back - flaylock finish anyone?

Finally, I still worry that shotguns overlap and outshine nova knives a little too much, my idea would fix that.
