Give the scouts higher base speed. also give them cloaking. this will make them more stealthy .

Scouts are not supposed to get seen. they are supposed to relay info back to the team

Yes, but I don't think grenades and lowering our scan profile is the answer for scouts. I rarely every need more grenades than the single slot provides and scouts already have a low enough scan profile that only other scouts could detect us if passive scan worked.

As I said else where

In addition, we need more scout-y equipment, like stealth and some EW (It would be nice if they were scout only).

Some of your suggestion are valid. But all of them together just makes either suit probably OP.

Two grenade slot for scouts is just asking for trouble. Beside, grenades are tied to a button, you cant switch to it. So selecting the nade would require UI and control changes which isnt the fastest thing to do.

Increase CPU and PG, ok. But 20 each ? 20 CPU i get, but 20 PG is like HUGE. Base scan profile is already low and the spec bonus is making them dodge even active scanner afaik.

Increase speed is what would make the more sense considering its their main defense. But they're already fast as hell and hit detection may not like another buff.

I like the hacking speed bonus. Would make a fine specialization bonus associated to a base radar signature reduction.


Now for heavies, giving them any extra slot is a bad idea and i would stick with the base HP buff. Someone mentionned giving heavies a % reduction to fire arms damage. It could work as well but it's a lot more tricky to set up (been discussing it with wolfman). Best solution would be to change the sentinel bonus to a "+4% bonus to both armor and shield base HP per level"

Would help make sentinels actually interesting. And would reinforce the heavies defense.

As for turn speed, it makes sense the heavy is way slower to turn than another suit. But, i'd wait till they made their changes to the DS3 behavior before going down that road. See how it impacts the whole thing.

Scout suits are designed primarily for snipers why would a sniper want 2 grenade slots ? Your asking for something that directly benefits you (im guessing you use a scout suit and either a flaylock or a shotgun) Scout suits need an extra equipment slot not an extra grenade slot

Any increase in a Heavys defence negates the increase of speed, you can;t give it 200 extra hp AND increase it's turning speed if anything you reduce its speed AND you can't give it an extra slot as well as everything else ... if CCP implemeted these suggestions Heavys would become extremely OP

Both your suggestions to these classes gives me the impression you want to make yourself stronger rather than balance the classes

For what I feel is the best method of buffing light suits (including scouts), please read this topic.

Or you could stop insisting on using them against Assault suits expecting to go toe-to-toe with something outside your specialization range.

More specializations have already been listed out in name for both Light and Heavy frames. I'm sure there will be at least one or two Assault-equivalent Specs for those that want to do so.

Like I've said in other posts, I had one match where we were utterly destroyed in Skirmish due to 3 Sentinels and 1 Heavy with HMGs that held all the points inside the "city".

Heavies are crazy good at point defense if you work together.

I think simply what do you feel is a tougher fight a heavy or a proto cal logi. I personally would fight a heavy any day they just aren't threatening. Hell the only thing I'm happier to see is a milita redberry.
