[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7245228, member: 6801228"] Since we are talking a lot about the scout, maybe we're not looking at this from the perspective the designers are. Fighter Scout "fixes a problem" but Rogue Scout is a more natural fit. If the design team was making new classes under the perspective of "what problems do we need to fix" then the Fighter Scout would be a natural fit, but that isn't how they've designed the majority of the subclasses. They ask the question "what versions of X class have we not made yet" If someone had asked me to make a Scout before the UA came out, I would have gone either Ranger or Rogue, because to my mind scout's specialize in hiding from the enemy and finding the enemy. Both the Ranger and the Rogue are good at those types of sneaky tactics, both can work in a wilderness setting, so it follows kind of naturally. This isn't to say a Fighter Scout can't work, or that a stealthy sneaky fighter can't work, they totally do, but it isn't the obvious "baked potato" fit. Rogue is. [/QUOTE]
