Wanted to get some views on scouts and groups.

Why aren't scouts considered good enough for random groups?
Heres some of my views on scouts . . .

1. They got engage and can guard/slam aswell
2. Got good damage output when buffed and can rapidfire casters
3. Some of us got Truesight . .so when you get to the mg's and use it you can kill the mid zerg <cough> sorry the 8 mid soloers ( Ps yes us albs do it too :kissit: )

Tbh scouts always get the shite kicked out of them solo . .like hunters and rangers and we need to have a stealther withus with see hidden to even have half a chance of surving.

I know were a soloish class but why not have us in groups? :clap:

ps How long till this turns into a whinethread do you think? :(

Cause other hybrids/tanks can use that spot better? Tho I agree,scout assisting tanktrain is nasty,especially against bodyguarded target :)

Agree with Dim here, it's possible random grps will be more Ranger oriented when facing BG groups AND ranged casters will come back in light imo.

If I'm not mistaken arrows wont do damage against BG, just interupts. For interupting there is better class's than Scout like you said.

Good point but what about the cases where 7 people wont take a scout and want to wait for an arms/merc?

I just think people dont see scouts as a good enough group player where I think they do have a lot to offer :)

Ok, could have been fixed, there was a thread at VN boards where Bolters and Archers said that bolts/arrows deal huge amount of 0 dmg against BG.

If a scout knows how to play hes scout, and is blocked by a tank, then that scout switches targets. We deal masive damage (when buffed) to ppl, and they cant sprint away from us, like many shammys do with end regen.

And with critshot on healers, i usualy do 30-50% of damage, if that healer is buffed with con/af buffs.. i once 2shoted an unbuffed shammy(yes, he was yellow con ^^)

Scouts should be included into groups, as they can stand with the healers/casters shooting ppl, and if some1 comes to attack the healers/casters, the scout can switch to hes shield and guard/slam..

ppl think of scouts as gimps in groups, this is not the case.. all the groups 3? :eek7: ) i have been in, has done well.. make sure the scout knows what he/she is doing though ;)

You can even make some nice fixed groups including 1 scout.


Anyways, ppl might disagree with me, but this is how i see it :)
