Because shotguns and ARs ARE part of the scouts role.

So if Logis got nerfed in order to help push them into their intended roll of support class why can scouts carry weapons like Shottys and AR's ?

Shouldn't the Scouts now get nerfed to only be able to carry a Sniper Rifle in order to push them into their intended roll?

BTW I did not spec into the FOTM Logi Assault suit so no I am not crying.

I am just questioning CCP's logic.

The scouts role is to get be in the battle to gather intel and be able to get in and out quickly.

You should consider the discrepancy in your logic.

The nerf had nothing to do with weapons in the first place.

As mentioned above, these skill changes are largely to discourage assault-focused players from using the Logistics suit as their frontline choice.

Weapon does not define role.

Play style defines the role. The dropsuit is only a guideline for an idea of the role, it does not mean you have to play as that role entirely.

The nerf had everything to do with the lack of balance for the Caldari Logi with the number of slots available to it in context of the CPU/PG it had.

The Amarr Logi got a nice buff and is more 'offensive' thanks to the two weapon combinations.

Your logic would mean that Logi's should not be using weapons at all.

It was nerfed because it was being used as a Assault class.

Are you just trolling or stubborn?

They didnt get nerfed to "push" them into anything. They got nerfed because the suit was plainly overpowered. If anything, it pushed many of them further from the logi role because now they just don't run equipment to fit their damage mods.

Amarr Logis got buffed actually.

scouts are an assassination class, sniper rifles aren't the only way to do that, shotguns used to be one of the best ways to accomplish that in fact.

Not me. I had a triage rep tool. Now I can't use it on all my fits. Had to remove it.

Yeah but using CCP's Logic they were not designed to be frontline Assault yet that is what they are being used for just like the FOTM Logi suit was but then CCP nerfed the Logi Suit because it was being used as frontline assault.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Sounds like your fit is in question. Drop armor or shield, replace with something else. Use advanced instead of proto. Use basic instead of advanced (any modules.)

I run an amarr Logi, adv suit.

Right now, to use my adv droplinks, I had to drop the K2 Nano for a compact nano, drop an enhanced armor and shield module for basics while replacing my nanite with my uplink and use advanced shotgun and breach smg.

It's all about fine tuning.

I do fine in battles; I can push offensively and fall back as triage. I can place uplinks tactically.

I have multiple suits that fit multiple roles for varying situations.

I honestly don't even believe any of the current scouts are meant to be snipers. If anything, its the caldari scout that will be geared toward that role.

Hell my Minmatar Assault is a better sniper, 5 Complex Damage Mods and room for Nanohive.

t as their frontline choice
