WHERE ARE MY F'KING SCOUT FIXES?

...one thing that does make me happy:
"- Addressing Midgard's Left Axe style/endurance regeneration combination, which leads to Berserkers and Shadowzerks doing more damage than they would normally be able to."

also says some stuff about BM and merc love

Scouts are for Newbs

-Assessing why Animist performance in RvR i(s) substandard and taking appropriate measures

This bothers me. Animists are balanced (maybe even  overpowered) *if* the player knows the strengths and weakness of the class. They are not a nuking class and shouldn't be in the front lines w/ the suicidal PBAE chanters. Instead, they should be in the back chaining out as many turrets as possible to protect the healers. A stacked group of 5-6 turrets can instantly kill even fully buffed tanks (I've had it happen to my zerker before) and they don't drop even after the animist dies.

Then there's the other issue that hibs are natural milefort campers and this class is perfect for that role :P

...and where the hell are my scout fixes?

The armsman TL was woohooing on the VN boards, leading to speculation that the dreaded block/parry bug in existence since launch may be up for another go-round. Or it may just be the merc fixes he's excited about. Hard to say.

And where's the scout fixes?

I realize that [Matt's announcement on the Herald] addresses only the proposed changes in 1.62, and that you are damned if you do and damned if you don't post this sort of stuff. However, having said that, I don't want to go look at any scout boards after Matt's announcement. Hunters got melee help and a new insta-cast pet. Rangers already are better in RvR than scouts and level easier in PvE also, yet they just got their high end self-buffs made effective again and are going to get more help with the adjustments to celtic dual. Scouts still get nothing and no hints of things coming their way, and all archers are still behind the average leveling curve in PvE and useful in very limited circumstances in RvR now...

Are there *any* bones I can throw to the scout community? Because right now I don't know what to tell them other than go play an alt.

And she did have a bone to throw to me...

I know what you mean, and Jen and I have archers in general on the top of the improvement/look at list. These are not the only changes coming the way of archers.

This isn't specific, and it doesn't give a particular time table, but we have not been forgotten. As I said when 1.61 went live so quickly (only 3 parts to it on Pendragon)... I'm not expecting a patch for us until 1.63 now, maybe a little later. This 1.62 stuff I thought would be part of 1.61...

Not looking good if you ask me. :(
