He's trying to split the eWAR trifecta is what is seems like.
The trifecta is Damp-Range-Precision as we all know.
Right now, scouts are the BEST at all of the above. This causes eWAR disparity (which some argue it rightfully should)
What he's trying to get at is removing an aspect and having it shine elsewhere. I don't support EXACTLY what he is saying, but I can get behind parts of it.
For example: If it was me.
Scouts would dominate the damp side of the spectrum. This gives them dampening they need to avoid the other two suits, but they now have to sacrifice slots to gain better passive eWAR. They are still the best suited for overall eWAR however. Since they damp, they don't need HP. They use these slots for eWAR instead.
Assaults would dominate the range side of the spectrum. This gives them long range, low fidelity scans, letting them pick up Commando's and Heavies easily. They can buff out precision, but that requires giving up tank. Armor tankers could potentially take advantage of their highs, but they won't get much benefit from it, AND they lose damage mods.
Logi's would dominate the precision side of the spectrum. This gives the heavies and commando's a bit of warning when a damped assault comes to kill them (or something). They can buff out range, but they lose a LOT of tank for it (All logi's are armor tankers. PERIOD. Even the Cal is an armor tank with shield buffer)
Get my drift?
Note: I would still ensure that scouts can dodge all passive scans if properly damped, and that Focused Scanners retain the ability to scan damped scouts.

Essentially Yes though not concise in delivery this is what Zatara seems to be getting at, with a lot of Politico Pandering in the midst of it. This makes it hard for Zatara to be concise because the community is not unified on what the problem is, his responses simply are around what is believed to get the most support. So it seems to me. If all of these things come in though what would that look like?
Also I am annoyed that Zat keeps going on about "scouts" when really it's about Gal/Cal scoutsGǪ please be specific as to what the problem is damn itGǪ but that does not appeal to the greatest number of people i suppose. If we look at rebalancing any role in this game, we have to look at what is over performing and under performing and whyGǪ there are four variations of suits, not all are over performing and not all are under performing. When Sentinels receive a rebalanceGǪ should they take a blanket hit? or should the over performing ones get looked at? When Logi need a buffGǪ are they all performing the same? Likely not. Zatara is looking at "fixing" one "problem" without addressing the problem itself, because it is not defined concisely. This of course is not an uncommon approach, nor unique to Zatara

It has a special firing animation and you twirl it in your hand (my favourite thing about nova knives).

Oh Hells Yeah! Missed it!!! I'll grab it next time I guess. But I haven't even found a legendary HC and I refuse to buy one, it's a principle thing at this point. I can't believe the odds of not finding given all the various legendary drops I've had. But, Destiny seems to be ending up in the Dust pile of my games anyway. Know what game I'm really diggin on these days...? Lucid dreaming.
I used to play that game! Except I took a break because it was too hard and now I'm so bad at it that I never end up playing :(

Thanks, Ghost and Llast.
I've gotta say I don't like this one bit. I'm in favor of buffing MedFrame EWAR, but I can think of no reason to nerf Scout EWAR. I can think of lots of reasons not to. For starters, it'll leave us lopsided as a class. MN and GA might walk away largely unaffected, but what comes of AM and CA?
Their prescribed strengths are high-intensity/low-range scans and low-intensity/high-range scans. If we remove their scan strengths, what are they supposed to be the best at? Remember ... no HP tank! |

Hence why I want the "Spy Uplinks" to be Scout exclusive.
If they want to remove our passive bonuses to eWAR, then they need to give us a piece of equipment to supplement recon. WE NEED A ROLE
Think of them as motion detectors that you can plop down, that have different strengths for the different scouts.
Minmatar would be high precision low range and hard to detect (Makes a small area a "Hunting Ground")
Caldari would be high precision high range and easy to detect (Any logi with a scanner would pick up its location easily)
Amarr would be an all around detector, with decent range, precision, and requires a scout or proto scan to pick it up.
Gallente would be a low precision, high range and hard to detect motion mine (Surveys a large area, hard to remove. Great for infiltrators)
Basic version is a single use. Advanced is a single use with one in reserve. Proto lets you plop down two and have one in reserve. They also get stats buffs and damp buffs as they go up, reaching the above examples at proto. SCOUT ONLY. This prevents Logi's from spamming this too and creating the permascan again.
I would also require that there should be a set amount per team, and that once that limit is reached, new ones replace the old.

Honestly though, since 1.8 came out Zatara was . . . demanding? too strong a word suggesting is not strong enough, That a Scout need fill ALL their low slots if they don't want to be scanned bcause a gal-scout needed 4 complex damps to get under focused before

I made that sheet back in . . . Bravo? Before you shuffled the bonuses, I can mess around with them to keep the current meta with Caldari range and Amarr Precision.

Ah, lol, to keep Amarr Scout at 18dB precision with 2 complex enhancers using module-based bonuses would mean they need to gain 11% per level to Precision enhancer efficacy.

I expect Caldari range to behave similarly. On the topic, we'll need to calculate secondary EWAR bonuses as well (Gal Prec, Cal Damp).

Please check my figures before assuming them correct. Gallente: +3% Scan Profile per Level ---> +5% Profile Dampener Efficacy per Level +2% Scan Precision per Level ---> +5% Precision Enhancer Efficacy per Level Caldari: +3% Scan Profile per Level ---> +5% Profile Dampener Efficacy per Level +10% Scan Range per Level ---> +5% Range Extender Efficacy per Level Amarr: +5% Scan Precision per Level ---> +12% Precision Enhancer Efficacy per Level Note: There are a couple gains and several losses to consider; not a perfect science. These numbers are likely wrong. I'll find and fix my error later today.
Test Case: Caldari Scan Range
+5% per level to Range Extender Efficacy
First Extender: 45% * 1.25 = 56.25% Second Extender: 39.11% * 1.25 = 48.89%
Base * Skills * 1st Extender * 2nd Extender = 20 * 1.5 * 1.5625 * 1.4889 =/= 94.5 meters
+16% efficacy per level gets us closer ...
First Extender: 45% * 1.8 = 81% Second Extender: 39.11% * 1.8 = 70.4%
Base * Skills * 1st Extender * 2nd Extender = 20 * 1.5 * 1.81 * 1.704 = roughly 92 meters |
