    Frag Grenade Power
    - Base damage increased from 650 to 750
    - Evolution 3 increase to max grenades increased from 1 to 2
    - Evolution 4 extra damage to organics increased from 40% to 50%
    - Evolution 5 armor damage bonus increased from 65% to 75%
    - Evolution 6 shield damage bonus increased from 65% to 75%

    I was wondering what was going on there

    My current human soldier build is zero concussive shot, maxed durability, maxed damage and shield boost for adrenaline rush. Equip a striker and an smg for backup.

    It's ridiculously fun, even if you're constantly refilling ammo. But since you're always going back for ammo anyway, it's really easy to keep grenades filled up too. So I just find some high ground, rain 40 explosive striker shots down on the enemy spawn in about 5 seconds, and then chuck grenades down on any surviving bosses. It's glorious. It may even have replaced turian revenant as my favorite combo

    It'll also make pubbing a bit better, since I can usually get through wave six but wave ten with pubs on gold is kinda painful.

    It's pretty annoying that at least half the total money always came from wave 10, yeah.

    Seriously, that should NOT be a goddamn difficult fix

    Like, point me at the recoil section of the code and I'm pretty sure I could fix that in about 15 minutes of work. And I don't even know how to teh codez in anything but LPC.

    I got a Valiant I... which I should be excited about... but I don't have a class I enjoy playing that could really use it at I without crippling it's power usage.

    the rest of them are just generally worse than their alien counterparts

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    not really?

    human sentinel is still great because they are one of the two classes with both warp and throw
    human engineer has the two best tech powers and a decent distraction in combat drone
    human infiltrator has sticky grenades and can weaken things from cloak with cryo blast


    and human soldier is just as shitty as any soldier that isn't batarian

    I really like human sentinel. You can either go for a very efficient caster-y build, or you can skip warp, and take the "instant cooldown when detonating explosions' on throw. Then you can just go around at -200% cooldown with heavy-ass guns, and still spam explosions (though weaker ones) when you need to team up with an adept.

    Human engineer is fabulous.

    And human soldier is a lot of fun if you properly utilize adrenaline rush.

    okay I'm
    I'm actually starting to like the arc pistol

    charging it up takes longer between shots than you do with the carnifex, but with the damage boost it feels like it hits appropriately harder
    and there is always the option of panicked flailing at the trigger if something is too close

    also with the weight reduction now I can carry it and stay at 200% recharge and the tech burst thing is a nice bonus

    you'd rather have tech armor than stasis?

    How do you properly tech burst with an arc pistol

    I never used it long enough to figure it out

    can you also set off fire explosions with it?

    Turian sentinel IS great, but that doesn't mean other sents are bad.

    I think I need to try a caster build on mine, since I still don't have the revenant

    What? Yes it does. The thing I like is the best, ergo everything else is bad

    Pretty simple math

    Unfortunately I've already gotten maxed stability mod, so I either get to equip that and get 70% stability mod, or go with the damage bonuses and the +55% stability that turian passive gives you

    It's very annoying, he should be more stable than everyone else, but instead he's either less stable and only slightly more damaging, or as stable and less damaging
