I'm totally in love with Krogan Vanguard, particularly now I've respecced. The combination of the health and shield regen from Rage and Charge plus the tankiness from Fortify is pretty absurd. I originally took inspiration for the party damage reduction, but the buffs to Rage itself from Berserker are so loving good I dunno if I could switch back to a fairly mediocre, hard to maintain, party buff. Forget Nova though -- it sucks.

Yeah so, I have no idea what button breaks a grab on PC. I've rebound my keys, and like nothing seems to respond once I'm grabbed.

Speaking of minibosses, what's the trick to Destroyers? They seem to have a shitload more HP than Fiends, Hydras, Agents, Ascendants, etc. e: I do like how when Agents "die" they just teleport out of battle, lol

Add my name to the PC origin ID list. Name is AndrewFL9 Loved ME3 multiplayer and just started getting into this one. When it works I love it, just wish more people would use PTT instead of hearing the baby that's crying the whole match.

Unlike every other supermob they don't seem to have a sync kill, so you just have to shoot/punch them until they die. All the mobs tunnelvision like crazy, so anytime it isn't looking at you you're free to do whatever the hell you like to it. This is pretty nice as a puncher because they just won't use their counter-melee energy shield thing unless they're focusing on someone in melee range. Speaking of sync kills - gently caress sync kills

Digirat posted:Eh? The revenant fell off super hard in gold in ME3. I always felt like it was a serious underperformer and I always did better when bringing other guns. This was really disappointing because it had by far the best sound in the game and if it was better I don't think I would have used anything else. So I'm very glad to hear it's a much better gun now. Son I took the Revenant into Platinum matches and it shredded mofos, mind you that was on a Turian Soldier with 50% extra accuracy and stability, 25% barrel mod, extended clip and AP ammo. The Typhoon was cool too but just didn't have the same character.

I'm trying to figure out what's the best build. Obviously max out rage and charge, fortify up to 5 at least for the DR and more melee damage. What's the balance spent on? Do you go into nova to take up to lvl 6 for the combo prime and nothing into apex? (I rarely shoot, all the damage comes from headbutt), or do I take fortify to 6 for that combo prime and max apex training, leaving nova at 1? I'm leaning towards 6/6/1/6/6. Nova is just not good until it gets the combo option.

Apex isn't anything to write home about (outside the 20% power recharge capstone -- benefits both charge and Fortifybombing), but the prime from Fortify makes Nova's pretty redundant. The small weapon buffs help when dealing with Observers, at least. You could make a case for the shield dump Nova if the ability did reasonable damage because Nova->Charge would just totally ignore the penalty, buuuut the balance is hosed so it's not worth it right now imo. I haven't maxed the Krogan card yet, so I'm short on Apex levels, but it's already a fun kind of faceroll.

It seems to be a bigger modifier than on most enemies, a single Widow II shot on silver takes off about 1/4th it's shield or 1/2 it's health. But the turrets are the real danger. Once those are gone you can basically ignore it except to dodge the big shot every 30 seconds.

I've already put like 30 hours into the MP and nobody on PS4 ever uses their drat mic, even (especially?) when I get bored and start talking because I'm stoned. The sound of the MP in this game is so useless/repetitive that I really prefer to like, talk to people, otherwise I'm just gonna put on an audiobook while I play.

Not super impressed by the various soldier classes so far, but as usual there's the bad weapons/low level caveat. Are either the Asari Sentinel/Adept any good in Gold?

Trying to level up my vanguard, game crashes to desktop with 3 seconds left in round 7. Start again, get a great silver group. We're just destroying everything, and then I crash to desktop after finishing the objective in round 6. Start again, and I keep getting queued into silvers with a bunch of apex level 0 players running level 1 human soldiers.  Bioware really needs to either fix the crashing bugs, or start giving partial xp/money rewards after each round.

I only have the Sentinel at level 11 but she's very good. You can spec energy drain to prime and then use throw to detonate, and backlash is amazing once you put some points into it.

For the adept, take annihilation field to 6 with shield restore (and I like the 20% damage bonus to stuff in your field), Lance to 6 with use shields instead of cooldown and barrier to 5 with shield restore on melee. Lance and punch everything while regenerating your shield constantly. For shits and giggles mine has a charger with the melee booster and a Widow for when I can't be bothered to run across the map to kill something. Also observers.

You literally just walk around making everything explode constantly and taking very little damage because what you don't kill you stun. When Hydra types appear, all you have to do is get someone else to pull aggro and she can take it down in seconds. Sentinel is almost as good, now that I've learned to love Backlash for the Literal Invincibility it is.

Revenant I feels really similar to Charger X, looking forward to getting more ranks for the Revenant. This is probably a dumb question, but thermal clips are different from standard clip size right? Just trying to figure out which store equipment to buy first. edit: These loving game crashes went from once every 5 hours or so to once every five matches. They need to fix this poo poo. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Mar 25, 2017 |

I just pubbed 5 gold matches using my Dualist. The host was this Krogan Gladiator that absolutely shredded every enemy. It was insane. He had this biotic aura around him and he would just go up and tank whatever miniboss came out while we all combo'd off the aura. That guy was a machine. And he had a giant hammer.

In the cry pods there is APEX tactics that gives you +15% credits for APEX missions. Does this apply for strike missions of for multiplayer missions as well?

Do combos do more damage if the priming/detonating power are higher skill level? I think that's how it worked in part 3.
