Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Yeah, and the newest characters don't really have much. It's weird pulling out a Turian legionaire and seeing she has +190% with the avenger!
Which is why it's Ultra-Rare and the other two are Rare.
Yeah, they'd be wrong about Vorcha being tanks. The problem is, they see the red health bar filling back up and think "I AM INVINCIBLE".
But without health regen spec and without getting those early kills, you're doomed. It's the vorcha version of when you're desperately trying to biotic charge someone and your allies keep killing your target. No barrier. All pain.
The hornet is heavy?
Must be the rank 1 rank 10 discrepancy.
Collector SMG is pretty neat though.
Oh, and you shouldn't dismiss the original Human characters so easily. The Sentinel may be redundant with the Asari Adept, but most of them can stand on their own. The Human Adept works well enough now that shockwave and singularity have had some buffs, the Human Engineer is actually quite good now that he can set off fire bursts with Incinerate -> Overload, and the Human Vanguard is of course awesome (Charge, Nova, Charge, Nova, Charge, Nova - wait, we've run out of enemies already? ).

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Not really, but it's slightly heavier than the Collector SMG (10% more impact on cooldowns at any given rank), according to the numbers on that character creator site.
By redundant, I simply mean that they're sufficiently similar that their main tactic in any given build will most likely be the same - warp/throw. You can argue which is superior if you wish (personally I'll take Stasis over Tech Armor, especially since it's the best answer to Phantoms in the entire game), but they're so similar that they do end up redundant with each other unless you specifically set out to build one without the obvious warp/throw tactic.
Speaking of, I actually tried the suggestion I got a few days ago for that. My conclusion was basically that I really should not try to do a close-combat, shotgun-focused build on anything without Biotic Charge, or some other means of restoring its shields. That was probably my worst performance in a game ever.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
I find sufficient granularity that it's not redundant. Other than "causes explosions" there's only the overlap of usin the same powers. One is slightly slower with half again as much output, the other can potentially freeze specific targets and has less health. One can roll, and take a punch, the other can slide fast and strike an area upon rising but has less resiliency.
Saying that because they both cause detonations with warp and throw makes them redundant is along the lines of saying the Justcar, fury, and web paladin are redundant. They all cause explosions with their powers.
On stasis, I've found it mostly a waste of time on a detonator build. Literally and figuratively. The best thing for phantoms is killin them. A power which stops them + a power which kills them, at my level of operation, is less lethal than a power which kills them + a power which kills them. But the only time I've gotten any use out of stasis that didn't compete with other (better, often) aspects of the build is with the volus adept. So variance on mileage and all.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Precisely. There are two things which determine what any given character can do in this game: race and powers. Having two powers be the same creates substantial overlap, especially when those powers alone create your main form of offense. Heck, that was a substantial criticism many of us had of the second DLC's classes, was it not? Each set of two differed in only one power, which was a problem particularly for the Vorcha, who didn't even get a major class-defining power like Charge or Cloak.
And Humans and Asari racially aren't that different - Asari get their biotic dash where Humans get a roll, but the difference there is only one of speed and the slight shield use on the Asari's, and the only other difference is the Asari's slow AoE heavy melee, which an Adept will hardly use. They have the same health and shields, and no particularly unusual traits.
But it's substantially more lethal than a power which does nothing at all, which is usually the case with Phantoms and their power-immunity barrier, which they always seem to put up on reaction to the first power thrown at them, but which they can't use in reaction to Stasis. That, plus their small size and agility making them harder to kill with guns than most other enemies, is what makes Phantoms so difficult to deal with in the first place.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Er, not quite. See, there is sufficient difference between warp trees when you factor in tech armor, and sufficient difference in throw trees, that this cannot hold. It's entirely possible to ignore your assertion f having to use a non-detonation build, use warp and throw, and still have viable differences.
The language there is unclear, so I'll repeat; it is entirely possible to have large differences in playstyle with a warp/throw biotic based off of those two powers alone. The difference is even greater with tech armor added. And even greater with tech armor versus stasis a consideration. There is very little "large overlap" unless you're unwilling to look at alternates.
And every vorcha does have a defining power: blood lust. They don't get a class specific power and a racial specific power, sure. The geth, the Krogan, the Phoenix, the batarians all do though. The trouble with the expansion was it looked boring, up until people tried it out.
But again, there is sufficient difference steepen a phoenix adept and Phoenix vanguard that if they play similar, it's your fault not the class'.
And Humans and Asari racially aren't that different - Asari get their biotic dash where Humans get a roll, but the difference there is only one of speed and the slight shield use on the Asari's, and the only other difference is the Asari's slow AoE heavy melee, which an Adept will hardly use. They have the same health and shields, and no particularly unusual traits.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Well, I finally got another of the new classes. The Batarian Brawler - naturally, the one among those released so far I was least interested in (well, besides the Turian Ghost, but I already have that too). Guess tomorrow I get to find out whether I can make Lash worthwhile on a Vanguard, or whether I'll be letting the Batarian sit unused.
Which will just get them to put their barrier up, same as if you thew warp. At which point powers other than Stasis (and maybe others I'm unaware of, but Stasis is the only one I've seen beat their barrier firsthand) are useless on them until the barrier runs out - and they can often just put it back up should you wait it out.
Okay, you're going to have to explain that one, because I truly do not see how it makes the least bit of sense.
Which is a power that both share, not one that makes them different from one another. Which feeds right back into what I said. The class-defining powers Charge and Cloak helped the Ex-Cerberus and Male Quarian characters feel different despite the two power overlap. The Vorcha didn't get any such major difference, instead just trading a Carnage for a grenade - neither of which really synergize with their other powers.
You're much better at aiming than I am if you can consistently headshot a Phantom, even when they're stopped briefly to put up their shield. I can't hit them half the time even when they do that, simply because they're so damn thin that half of my shots pass between their arm and their body, or go over their shoulder, or the like. Trying to headshot them would be an exercise in total futility for me. And they do not fall quickly to regular shooting, at least not from any weapon I use.
So for me, Stasis is pretty much the perfect answer to them - gives me time to shoot them a bit to weaken their barrier, use Throw for a combo, then follow up with Warp and gunfire while they're sprawled on the ground for a kill. Or just gets them killed outright by my allies shooting them, which works for me as well.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
One more weapon down: I just unlocked the Particle Rifle at long last. Than through a bronze solo to test it out on my Destroyer and it seems pretty damn good, although the maximum range is pretty annoying.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Bronze may not be the best way to test it. Everything's going to look better there.
Honestly, I've been a bit disappointed with the Particle Rifle in the multiplayer. Maybe it's just me, as I'm just not as good at relying on a weapon, but I always seem to get out-performed substantially by people using other weapons when I play my Batarian Sentinel (who basically exists for the sole purpose of letting me use the Particle Rifle, since it's too damn heavy for me to put on one of my regular casters or Vanguards). It just doesn't seem to work as well as it did when I was using it in the main game (though of course the fact that I had it at rank 5 there and am stuck with a rank 1 in the multiplayer thanks to the thing being ultra-rare may have something to do with that).

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
The bubble isn't perfect. Powers can get trough if launched often enough. And unlike the praetorian, they still take some damage. And if she does put up her bubble, well, shoot her. Keep hitting throw and bullet until one gets through.
Okay, you're going to have to explain that one, because I truly do not see how it makes the least bit of sense.
If you see a class has warp and throw, or pull and reave, or dark channel and throw, or any other biotic primer and biotic detonator, and you see nothing but similarities, that's a problem with your imagination
And yes, the examples I gave are equal. The playstyle differences between different warp/throw variations are sufficient that a comparison to pull/reave or dark channel/throw is not a fallacious one.
Which is a power that both share, not one that makes them different from one another. Which feeds right back into what I said. The class-defining powers Charge and Cloak helped the Ex-Cerberus and Male Quarian characters feel different despite the two power overlap. The Vorcha didn't get any such major difference, instead just trading a Carnage for a grenade - neither of which really synergize with their other powers.
synergy is actually pretty potent though. Fire explosions. Fire explosions everywhere. Even when they were harder to get, because you could interupt flamer with grenades, carnage or melee.
You're much better at aiming than I am if you can consistently headshot a Phantom, even when they're stopped briefly to put up their shield.
Almost! There is a subtle exploit with the melee attack. If you are winding up your heavy melee, and the tracking allows you to hit the dead opponet's body, you get credit for it. You have to already have a line-up homing melee in place, but it works, and it works for Krogan melee too although the window is smaller. So if an ally is torching someone, you can pull out a heavy melee and often get a stack even without the kill.
Wow, your aim is off! XD
The value in the particle rifle is its ability to be perfectly accurate. That's how I got good a tracking movin enemies. It's a headshot machine.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
In addition to this, sometimes the bubble animation stays up even when the phantom isn't actually protected. This is generally the case if it looks like she's moving with her bubble up - they are actually vulnerable at this point.
And if all else fails, her bubble never stops bullets - so throw a power for her to put it up, then plug a few high-powered shots right in her slippery fa-

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Ran through a Silver with the particle rifle and was disappointed. It's still pretty good at killing smaller enemies but up against Atlases it's useless once their shields are down. Nice Phantom killer, but I've got a Piranha for that. I think I'll stick with the Typhoon.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Huh. I didn't actually know that, but it's so obvious that now I feel stupid. There are dozens of instances of power effects Derping.
What are you using? The best mods are the AP mod and thermal clip expansion. A full bore AP beam does tremendous damage to the atlas, even more now that it's rear exhaust port is a weak point which can be reached by shooting through the front. Did you blow of its knee and groin plates? You do damage through those as well. The particle rifle holds up on gold, an I find only platinum really moves too fast for it to be useful.Last edited by SiuiS; 2012-11-06 at 05:57 PM.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Meh. The individual shot damage is too low to make ammo really that great. Consider that +50% of 20 damage is still only +10 damage. Against armor, you're coming out about even, at 5 damage. That's why I dot bother with the extended barrel. It's garbage. Now, extra shots and armor piercing, that's Gold.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Ah, but you're discounting the fact that the Incendiary Ammo damage over time effect stacks with itself and is based off weapon damage dealt rather than the weapon's base damage. Thus, getting headshots gives you a nice 2.5 multiplier on the DoT, which then stacks with itself very rapidly thanks to the particle rifle's rather excessive rate of fire.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
I was under the impression that this damage counted as coming from a separate source, so each 1s of damage was modified by enemy armor. Which means against armored foes you need to deal over a hundred damage a shot with incendiary ammo IV, which is hard when that 2.5 multiplier on a +100% particle rifle is...100 damage.
If armor doesn't affect it this way then it would still be good. But we aren't disputing the usefulness against normal troops. Just heavies.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
No, no they can't. Sounds like you're just getting lucky and hitting one at the moment it drops if you think they can. I've tried spamming powers at them plenty of times, since that's kind of my preferred tactic on most of my characters, to no effect whatsoever.
Yeah, can't agree with you there. Technically you can spec Warp and Throw all those different ways, sure. But those differences do not suffice to alter play style. The most significant choice in either power is between Lasting Damage and Expose on Warp, where one makes Warp itself more powerful and one makes everything else that hits the target after Warp for a while more powerful - and even there, you'd hard-pressed to argue that Expose isn't just outright better than Lasting Damage, since even specced for maximum damage Warp itself is hardly a massive damage dealer, whereas more damage from other sources very much can be huge.
Other than that you've got:
Warp rank 4 - Damage vs Detonate. Detonate is strictly superior, since combo damage outdoes individual power damage, especially when you have both Warp and Throw with Detonate.
Warp rank 6 - Pierce vs Recharge Speed. The second closest to being relevant among these upgrade choices, but still not much of a choice. Warp's recharge speed is average, which if you're using light-weight weapons means there's little if any reason to pick Recharge Speed over the damage and armor-weakening boost of Pierce.
Throw rank 4 - Force vs Radius. I'm honestly not even sure what Force does - it seems to have no appreciable effect on what I'd expect it to affect, how far an unprotected target is thrown or how likely a protected one is to stagger. So I'm pretty convinced by that alone that Radius is strictly superior. Feel free to enlighten me if I'm missing something on this one, though, I'd be quite curious to know what increasing the force of a power does if not that.
Throw rank 5 - Detonate vs Recharge Combo. Detonate is so superior it's not even funny. Throw already has the lowest cooldown of any power in the game, so getting no cooldown after it detonates a combo is hardly noteworthy at all. Detonate, however, is, especially in combination with a Warp that also has detonate.
Throw rank 6 - Force & Damage vs Recharge Speed. As mentioned, Throw's recharge speed is already the lowest in the game, so the latter is practically worthless.
What I meant by that is what I said in that second post - the other two sets of same-race classes from that DLC got class-defining powers for their one different power between the two. Charge, which in and of itself drastically alters the play-style of a class that has it compared to those that don't, and Cloak, which is similarly huge in that respect. So despite having two identical powers, you could argue that the Quarian Male Engineer vs Quarian Male Infiltrator and Ex-Cerberus Adept vs Ex-Cerberus Vanguard were substantially differentiated by their one power.
The Vorcha though? Both get Bloodlust and Flamer, which were both the new powers at the time. Their only difference is Carnage or grenades, both of which are old abilities that are pretty straightforward damage-dealers, just one being more single-target focused and working on a cooldown and one being more area-focused and having an ammo limit. And it didn't help that grenades had been ubiquitous on Soldiers up until that point, making the Sentinel seem like it belonged in the Soldier class. Bloodlust and Flamer were the more defining powers of those classes, and they both shared them. Quite a few people in these threads commented on that at the time, if I recall.
I wouldn't know about that, as I've never played a Vorcha. I can't imagine they were easy to get before the change, though - I know I never saw Vorcha doing fire explosions before the change myself. Heck, I see more fire explosions in individual matches now than I saw total before the change.
I have not been making things up when I say I'm bad at that. The entire reason I picked the Batarian Sentinel to be my Particle Rifle class is the Submission Net power. With that, I actually don't need to worry about aiming, and can even try for headshots if my allies don't kill the thing before I do. Otherwise, on smaller (read: human-size) targets, I mostly hit them when they're standing up behind cover or shooting at someone else, and then certainly not with headshots. Or if they're moving slowly, like a Guardian (thank you, piercing mod) or Geth Pyro, and again, not with headshots there either. Larger targets I don't have trouble hitting, except the Banshee sometimes, though their slow movement when not teleporting does help make up for them being rather thin usually, so my trouble there is mostly when they're teleporting.
On truly small targets, like the Geth Bomber? I prefer to go to melee, because if I get a proper lock with that, it won't miss. I cannot say the same for my weapon fire with something like the Particle Rifle.
Anyway, personally, the reason I like the Particle Rifle is not it being perfectly accurate, which can actually be a down-side for me, but because it basically uses the ME1 cooldown system, so I never need to worry about ammo with it. And also, it's basically a laser weapon, and I rather like those.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Whenever I play my N7 Fury I have found that, regardless of the Phantom's bubble animation, I am able to consistently detonate them if I get close enough to hit them with Annihilation Field to prime them, and then trigger the field again to cause a detonation.
That's actually how I placed first on the last Platinum mission I played. It was with a regular group of freinds and we were playing "get in the box" on Rio with one of the guys playing the Volus Engineer so that we had tactical vision from his mine and he would stand inside the box with us when heavies got close to continually replenish our shields.
I just stood in the corner, when things got heavy and we had a lot of target swarming the area, and continually popped the field. Because of this I was able to detonate multiple targets through the wall of the box.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
I got the Indra from my pack. This isn't ideal. I wasn't impressed with it in single player and the Black Widow is my weapon of choice for Infiltrators anyway.

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
The Indra is actually a very good weapon. Accurate, high ROF, very little recoil.
I got the Javelin I in mine.
There is also the N& day challenge - extract 3 times (on any difficulty) as a human character (which includes N7 and ex-Cerberus kits)

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
I'll take the Valiant over the Indra any day.
I prefer the black widow above all other SRs as well, but the Valiant is a close second for me.

Got the Wraith in mine, bringing my weapon total to 12 shotguns, 10 assault rifles, 9 sniper rifles, 7 heavy pistols, and 6 SMGs...so tired of shotguns .

Re: Mass Effect 3.7: "That was for Thane"
Scorpion in mine. Am actually kind of pleased by this development, plus the ease of the N7 challenge. (I mean really, 3 extractions with a human char? I'll take that commendation pack now, thanks very much)
