What is the best final template for a scout?i want him mainly for rvr

[old.mattshanes]

well any ideas all u alb scouts out there?pls help

 

[old.Flamin]

Longbow: 50
Stealth: 36
Thrust: 16
Shield: 42

 

[old.mattshanes]

cool sounds good to me ok thx.

 

[old.Mitsu]

50 Longbow is such a waste - the difference between 50 and 60 longbow is maybe 20 extra damage.

Another template is
45 longbow
29 slash
42 shield
34-36 stealth (not sure)

If you wanna go slash, and prob Briton.

A good anytime high-to-hit style is gonna save your ass countless times With a high shield spec you _are_ gonna block a lot - even styles.

Gl anyway

Best template for a scout.............hmm.......an Infiltrator methinks
Seriously though ,i would max your longbow and get shield to lev42 for the slam....then put the remainder in sword and stealth (do'nt put too much into stealth 25-30 is ok i think)
I wish i'd known about See Hidden before i got my stealth so high
/em shrugs

p.s. the difference in damage for Each level over 50 is 7-9 pts on Every arrow.....5 or 6 extra levels could wield up to 54 extra dam every shot ( if we could hit with every shot that is )
The maths can be found somewhere on the VN boards in the camelot class forum.

Scouts are gimped further in almost every future patch. I wouldn't recommend it at all, tbh. You're much better off playing an infiltrator with a crossbow.

My only hope to play an Archer is to wait for the PvP server and starting a Lurikeen Ranger. At least I won't rely on Stealth to much, as it's hard enough to see those mutated mice as it is

 

[old.Flamin]

Dont go slash, go thrust. It's better against mids.
And dont bother about melee anyway you should kill them before they reach you. If you dont then u just slam them with your shield and shot them twice again. High melee spec is a waste imo. Better get longbow 50 or higher stealth then high melee.

btw I can do 450damage against yellow con mobs

 

[old.Kladen]

i say slash coz then you may have a chance against the odd assaine coz of the bonus on leather. and i very much doubt you'd be meleeing yellow/blue middie tanks. also slash is best in PvE

Almost EXACTLY what I am going for... I REALLY don't think stealth should be any lower because of assassins getting see hidden... it's not like they will be EVERYWHERE anyways.
Difference I put was thrust to 18 for de-taunt if you are in a group and pulling mobs... then my longbow or stealth will go down a few.

EDIT: Oh yeah and about the melee skill... don't bring it high, you won't kill a thing with the melee skill anyway. An assassin beats a scout in melee by far and naturally so will tanks (even more ). I recommend taking it no higher than 18 since you will lose out on longbow and stealth. 42 shield is quite important.

 

[old.mattshanes]

hehe ok thx all u ppl and sfxman your pic is funny

 

[SFXman]

Why is it funny

 

[old.Jadow]

Scouts get so nerfed later on with stealth i'd probably not even bother to go that high.

Mind you that's a long way off and most people will have probably left the game by then heh.

By the way Krait, like the inf comment <chuckle>

Well, I have a scout on US and he works very good for me (except against assasins of course with see hidden)
So I'll just post hims template:

Stealth: 20 (you can easily get this up to 30 or higher with realm ranks and items)
Longbow: 50
Thrust: 34 (your damage variance will be lower with higher thrust)
Shield: 42 (you get Slam)
