battler to be offensive, malice to be defensive (when u get a zerk in teddy on u, or perhaps another heavytank, or for example mulitple enemies), and when one of em is down use the other ;)

Use Battler /use2 at start of fight, if you live long enough then use Malice /use2, which should work out well because if it's a clean 1v1 then you should both be on low hits so may confer you the advantage :clap:

He said he can only carry one (on his back) because he is thrust spec, so unless your avarage battle lasts 10 minutes using both charges will be impossible :p
On my Cleric I use Malice when Solo or Duoing and Battler when playing in a FG/big group.

So I don't know if you solo alot or are grouped alot (yeah this will probably give some Scout whines ;)) but I prefer Malice when you are rarely grouped.

So Eeben... are u back? And if yes, why on Scout? Such a gimp class in desperate need of loving :)

And btw...I don't get your question: Ofc you get both artis and use both!

Macro1: /macro Malice /use2 5 0
Macro2: /macro Battler /use2 5 2

Battler >>> Malice though... So if you can only get one of the artis, due to a gimpy spec :), then get Batler!

I prefer battler on minstrel whether solo or grouped, but for a scout I'd say they're both pretty close.

Because of scouts low base absorb, 15% is it? Battler will effectively reduce damage by only about 25-30%, whereas malice reduces it by exactly 50%, making malice better defensively. Offensively battler is certainly better, reducing the enemies abs by 20% will give you more damage increase than malice increasing already buffed stats by 50. If however you expect many long fights (over 30s) then battler is definately better, you get the bonus for 60s compared to malice 30s then 30s of taking extra damage. And a few minor points: Battler can be used in combat which is handy to give an extra swing but not significant especially with a low DPS class such as scout; battlers offesive proc can be purged by the enemy but this rarely happens in my experince, and malice self stat decrease can be purged, but its not a good idea to rely on purge being up for that.

Personally I'd say malice for a scout if you expect short fights, but battler if you have many long ones.
