Display MoreHi,
after the latest changes in the planned patch notes, I was at first totally angry and disappointed. It didn't changed till now
Why?
No leather changes? (pushes)
In fact:
I tested today, because I read the patch notes, my best Scout (Scout/Rogue) against a Champ/Scout, Mage/Druid and Mage/Scout. Warlock/Mage, Champ/Druid and Scout/priest.
Overall in RoFL the champ/scout, mage/druid and mage/scout beat my Scout/Rogue.
Addtional details: I have by far the best gear of all the classes. T18 weapon, T13/T14 gear + full XIII Runes.
Champ/scout and Mage/Druid have T16 weapons, T11/T12 gear + XII Runes. Mage/scout has T15 weapon, not completed T13 gear (but nearly) and not complete XII-Runes (but nearly).
Because Scouts have a bit more single target burst than champs or mages, I was on top at Balton and did ~50kk more damage than rank 2 dps at this boss.
Furthermore in comparing with Champ/scout I have the 4%+8% pets (he have 3% + 6%), I have the 1% dmg-card AND a potion which increase my damage by 3%.
In comparing with MAge/druid I have the potion which increase my damage by 3%
In comparing with the Mage/scout, I have nothing additional.
Besides. The Result is constant always the same. Scouts isn't "strong" in any situation or in other words: For every situation there are far better classes.
Summarize: Is this fair for me as a scout? No. That's why I hate playing scout nowadays. With such gear differences and buff differences, the scout is overall ~15% or even more weaker than mages (in this case mage/druid and mage/scout) or the champ/scout.
The other scout classes are even weaker overall, because Scout/Rogue is good on trash. But on bosses I got the vampire arrows of 2 other classes on the boss (stronger than Snipe in this case) and couldn't beat them anyway...
Rogues can even burst better than scouts. Rogues can even do more damage in AOE (burst AND sustain). Why should anyone play scout?
As a Scout you totally rely on your Arrow of Essence and Blood Arrow. Blood Arrow is perma active, yes but has in some situations the bad effect of HP drain. But Arrow of Essence is a buff with 5 minutes CD. without this buff active, you cannot hold the ground against other classes.

Laisha was even dead on multiple phases and switched class on some point and misses a bit trash...
