Shumagorath posted:Recharge bonus all the way. If you're constantly charging you keep your shields up that way. I was expecting to love Krogan Vanguard, but I think I like the human a little better; having quick punches seems a little more satisfying to me than a slow headbutt. Although I don't have the jugg shield yet... I'm also pretty lousy about remembering whether fortify is on or off.

The Saber rifle is in this game right? And it hopefully still has that very satisfying sound it makes when firing?

Fitness 5a is excellent because going behind cover means your shields start regenerating almost instantly, letting you stay safe in the shield-gate. I also have 1 human soldier running Munitions 6a (using a Revenant and a Hurricane) and another human soldier running Munitions 6b (using a Piranha and a Raptor). SmallpoxJenkins posted:The Saber rifle is in this game right? Like the Claymore, the Saber didn't make the trip to Andromeda. EDIT: Speaking of the Saber, I was thinking about the semi-auto rifles and what BW could do to 'fix' them. Increasing the damage is nice and all, but I'm thinking of a slight damage boost plus a significant increase to their weakpoint multiplier. So tapping someone in the head with a Mattock 3 times (?) would be enough to kill them, which should equate to the Valkyrie only needing 1 burst to the head. Also, the Soned should probably get some kind of in-built stagger/panic thing. Zakmonster fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Apr 6, 2017 |

Ainsley McTree posted:You guys vanguard is so fun why do people play anything else Bastion. It gives you full shields AND a ton of DR which is generally worth more than being able to charge again slightly sooner; it lets you do more facepunching and less Charging so you're doing more damage. Your other passives will make the cooldown on Charge really short anyway so the difference is less than a second IIRC. Now that said if you go with Shock Trooper you can do some crazy things with Charging into and then out of groups, but that is really dangerous and can be hosed up by someone killing the mook you were planning on using as an anchor for your escape route.

Bastion on HumGuard, but Shock Trooper on KroGuard. KroGuards don't have Barrier, so they can't get shields back by punching, so being able to Charge once every ~3 seconds lets them keep the Rage health regen running. Also, with DR bonuses from Fortify and Rage, the DR from Bastion becomes less desirable.

Personally I think Bastion is better because "charging more often" assumes you aren't lagging or rubberbanding, and you can't always host, especially when everyone wants to play vanguard. Also Nova 6a, the one that makes it prime, is a loving godsend holy poo poo. That soldier build is good and fun, thanks bro. Too bad guns suck.

Having tooled around with both human and krogan vanguard I definitely have decided I like Human better, unfortunately. The headbutt just isn't as satisfying as it should be, whereas mashing the falcon punch button just feels really good. Bastion/Shock Trooper aside, how should I build HumGuard? My gut says "ignore shockwave" but I've been wrong before.

Taking the "huuuah! ha-ha!" voice lines away from the Krogan melee was the biggest nerf. Unironically worse than the bad guns.

I thought I was going to log in to just try a few things in MP tonight, and now it's suddenly hours later and I'm going to be biotic punching in my dreams. I'm glad they didn't gently caress up MP in this one (at least as far as vanguards are concerned)

BenRGamer posted:Will say this, the people who say to pick Bastion are specifically choosing to charge less often Lag exists.  If we didn't have any latency and pushing the charge button meant your character charged immediately without additional prompting, I'd be more open to it. That said, Bastion is also really useful because the DR makes any shields you regenerate from punching things for the duration more valuable, and generally makes you more protected against bullshitty burst damage and/or lagging damage. I honestly think that Krogan feels awful to play, now that its passive DR skill makes it slower, and it has a lovely feeling melee that doesn't murder dudes or regen shields, I don't see why you'd choose Krogan Vanguard over Human Vanguard. It's a real shame.

Seismic says only unarmored and unshielded are affected but that's just for the knock down, it will prime anything. Biotic explosions won't get you many kills but they will increase your survivability in a crowd due to stagger. Plus it's hilarious to novapound dudes off the map.

I think charge 6b is better for krogans simply because they have way more health than life and regaining half your shields is pretty pitiful when you've only got 200 to begin with. Humans on the other hand have a lot more shields than health so it benefits them more.
