Which specialism to choose?

upgrayedd -=[Death Dealers]=- Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 513 Joined: Feb 28, 2010 I've been training my SS Scouting scout (too many scouts lol) in driving since she capped her scouting ability. I'm approaching her first specialism in driving. I was thinking of taking defensive driving as the first and then switch to death racer if she makes it that far. Thought anybody?

upgrayedd -=[Death Dealers]=- Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 513 Joined: Feb 28, 2010 Thanks for the input. I tend to put throw away gangers in the death racing/combat leagues as they're loss if they have a...mishap. She's strictly a scouting character and I figured I'd fine tune her for dogfighting. ......................... vet wv gwped Posted Jul 27, 2010, 1:50 am

It gives you a reliable driver who can also shoot support weapons (side/rear guns) in a pinch. ......................... vet combatL1 wv cont0,5,0 Posted Jul 27, 2010, 1:50 am Last edited Jul 27, 2010, 1:51 am by Groove Champion

thepez Midville MONDOs Autodueller Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 325 Joined: Jan 23, 2010 I'd been going for 2 or 3 levels of Defensive Driver - is that too much? Does the benefit reduce with each level? -Pez ......................... vet wv Posted Jul 27, 2010, 5:16 am

Groove Champion The Groove Champions Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 4,813 Joined: Sep 16, 2008 For a scout yes... for a combat driver (the role assigned to my drivers capped below 110) deathracer is a solid choice. ......................... vet combatL1 wv cont0,5,0 Posted Jul 27, 2010, 3:37 pm

Joel Autobaun Joels Bastards Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Sinbinned Posts: 4,598 Joined: Nov 10, 2008 any good scout can also shoot an MML rear, so DR is better than a 2nd defense driver(this spec gets less benefit each time you take it). Shooting someone with an MML slows them down, you only have to hit once typically. I can say that I have defense X2 and I have /DRdefense drivers and either one can run away just fine, but in an ambush I want the DEATHRACER. ......................... vet northernsummer deathrce1 raceL1 deathrceL1 ww ped1 sssc paintball semiprocombat ped2 e2g gwextrav gwped combat1 paintladder elmsautumn gateautumn wv race1 combatL1 pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 zom pvp3 circuit1 pvp2 circuit2 circuit3 ss2fl67 slay2013 storm2013 geek triangle198,102,31 Posted Jul 27, 2010, 3:47 pm

upgrayedd -=[Death Dealers]=- Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 513 Joined: Feb 28, 2010 Yes she's strictly for scouting, not runs of any sort. I have 9 scouts total and 2 capped below 100 which I uses for SS-Elms and local camp runs. I'll keep the other options in mind for those two guys. ......................... vet wv gwped Posted Jul 27, 2010, 4:57 pm

d0dger an0maly Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 2,502 Joined: Jan 24, 2010 I'd agree with the overall concensus here. If you're sure the ganger is strictly to drive unarmed vehicles around on travel missions, go defensive driver all the way. If you might ever put them in a position to shoot a gun, go for DD and DR, in some order. In the long run, after you reach your gang size limit, plan on replacing these low-capping gangers with folks you can make more versatile to use in any situation. I've hit this point and I'm cross training quite a bit. I'm working toward all my drivers being scouts and scouts being drivers, with 1 level in DD and DR, and at least one weapon skill up to 50 for a weapons spec. ......................... vet wv combat1 combatL1 paintladder pvp5 sssc deathrceL1 pvp4 zom race1 semiprocombat deathrce1 raceL1 pvp3 pvp2 ww pvp1 paintball santa2 gwped northernsummer4,17,9 Posted Jul 27, 2010, 9:28 pm Last edited Jul 27, 2010, 9:29 pm by d0dger

With Rapid Reload as well, on a gat, you can do one pass, turn around some cover while reloading, the next pass you have full guns again. Beats switching gunners to reload in a 2 seater. The spec might be best spent elsewhere, but it does work ok. ......................... marshal vet wv pvp4 zom cont pvp32,12,1 Posted Jul 28, 2010, 3:51 am Last edited Jul 28, 2010, 3:52 am by Bastiel
