I got Way4 and was stocked abou it... but soon that turned to


Here a some reasons for Tears:


1) Mask Scent - It seems to get broken constantly. I was on Darth (ok rough place) with two Master Scouts. It seemed that MOBS broke me everytime. Suffice to say, I ended up at the cloning center while my groupmates did not. I even have a small +5 to conceal giving me a rating of +100.


2) Terrain - I am sorry but I do not see any difference in running speed over rough terrain that Way2 or 3. I have tested this with running against Master Scouts. Guess what? We were even. I also tested out running without a weapon while they ran with a carbine. Guess what? We were even for the most part - I ended up with about 3meter advantage.


3) Burst Running - ummm how far can you guys get? In my tests I can run for about 500m before I run out of gas. Is this so different than other classes over even terrain?



I know that the devs are working on giving camo - It sorta seems like duplicating a skill we already have - Conceal. The only plus I see is that we can give camo toother people. In the end though, it is just a duplication applied to others. There are many Master Scouts out thereand conceal seems to work fine for them. Wayfairing advantages should be noticeable...currently I see none. I am bummed becuase I am a BH. I went Ranger to be different than all the million CH/BH or CH.. anything. It now seems that my efforts to be different has given no payoff. I have to work much harder than CH classes for XP. I have no tanking... just what I thought was speed/tricky traps. I am thinking about giving in and starting CH for sludge panthers... sigh... like everyone else.

1) Maskscent was split from camouflage. You are as skilled at it as a Master Scout. My understanding is that conceal isn't any better, although I haven't found the resources to test it.

Personally, I consider myself to have lost skill since I have effectively lost all my species' bonuses from being a Bothan. (Effectively can't use conceal and had to sell back my support line a long time ago.)

2) You are correct that you are as fast as a Master Scout. If you highlight the skill box, 0-50 affects your run speed. 51-100 (Ranger range) affects your crawl speed. You don't run faster than those scouts, you just crawl faster.

Terrain Negotiation after +50 increases your Prone Speed. Hopefully, this will be changed in the future. Burst Run Efficiency simply lowers the amount of damage you take when you hit the burst run key. Again, I hope this will be changed.

I thought the Camo kit would be awesome so I went with Wayfarer instead of the Tracking line and I still haven't been able to make a Camo kit yet because I still looking for the resources needed to make them.
