In TSO, Scout suffers debuff and AE of mobs. And because mobs' avoidance is very high, Scout's attack often fails even in instances. Further, Scout's combat arts are almost single-target combat arts though TSO is AE heavy-biased. High risk, low return. That's Scout in TSO, imo.

All though I do agree that my CA's/Auto attacks don't hit near as much as I want(solo, or in a group without dirge/warden and + accuarcy gear) I have to say this xp is a blast for my swash. You may want to explain a little more on which scout.
