I had a look at your manifest and put together a couple of builds for you Sanders. A weapon centric human soldier: http://narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes/#10OAOLRX0@0@C@@@0@0@0@0 The basic human soldier is a very good class made even better recently by big grenade buffs. Seriously frag grenades are stupidly good now. Adrenaline rush is also very good, it will immediately reload your gun, boost its damage by 70% and give you a bit of shields as well. It also has a low cooldown so you should be using it whenever you can. Concussion shot is mediocre at best so you're better off spending the points elsewhere. The idea is you run around shooting things with the GPS while spamming adrenaline rush and throwing some grenades when things start to get rough. Make sure you use grenades and charged GPS shots against the big guys especially. You have quite a bit of shields and health (for a human) plus with adrenaline rush giving you shields you should be quite survivable while also able to pile on the damage. In practice this will probably be fine on silver, but you'll need to be more careful and know your limits on gold. If you find you dont like the GPS, the revenant would also be a good choice for this build. And a power centric salarian engineer: http://narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes/#22OIPIFP0@0@A@@I0J4@0@0 If you want to do well on gold you should go with the salarian engy especially versus geth. Salarians are amazing against geth thanks to energy drain and decoy. Incinerate isn't anything special but it does ok damage to armor and can be used after an energy drain to set off a tech burst, which will do a lot of damage to one target. This basically means you have an answer to anything the game throws at you. I added the phalanx because its pretty light and will give you max cooldown on your powers. You can use any gun you want though as long as you dont dip below +150% or so. You wont be shooting much with this guy, just firing off your powers as often as you can. The first thing you should do before a wave starts is pop down a decoy in an obvious place to draw fire away from you and your team. This works very well against geth as for some reason they are drawn to it like moths to a flame and make for easy pickings. In fact try to keep a decoy up as much as possible, especially on objective waves. Energy drain everything and follow up with a few pistol shots or an incinerate. Against armor energy drain wont do much by itself, but the tech burst when you use incinerate after will do quite a bit, and with the burn damage over time from incinerate as well you can knock off quite a large chunk of armor in a short space of time. Stick to cover, especially on gold, and if your shields go down use energy drain as fast as you can to refill them. If you think you're getting overrun drop a decoy and leg it in the other direction. I haven't included equipment for either build but you wont need any for silver and for gold just use whatever you have. Its easy to see what will work and what wont. Let me know how you get on. Paracelsus posted:I tried this tonight, and couldn't get the spikes to go through the slot even at point blank. And God forbid you try to hit a Nemesis. You need to have the smart choke equipped and probably also need to be hosting to mailslot guardians. As for the nemesis thing, you need to move to the side and headshot them when they're in cover or stagger them first with a heavy melee or a power (ballistic blades  )

Pumpking posted:And a power centric salarian engineer: One thing to keep in mind though is that the tech burst window on Energy Drain is prohibitively short (3 seconds, of which 2.5 seconds will be taken by cooldown) compared to Overload, even before the latter got buffed, so your solo tech burst capabilities are severely gimped. Unless you're really close to your ED'd target you won't get tech bursts with any kind of regularity, simply due to how long it takes for the Incinerate projectile to reach it. If you don't have 200% cooldown you don't even need to bother, and playing on a host with unstable latency won't do you any favors in that regard either. The +CD evolution on ED would help considerably, but you'd lose out on 100% shield restoration which I'm not entirely sure would be worth it. If you're behind cover, make sure to manually pop out by aiming your gun before the ED cooldown finishes, so you don't waste precious time on the pop-out-of-cover animation. Regarding the build, personally I'd forgo the two levels in Decoy and max Fitness instead. The decoy only takes damage from rockets anyway and shock is basically useless except for getting last-hit kill credit on extraction. In my experience three levels in Decoy let it perform its purpose just fine and anything above that is better invested in other skills.

Counterpoint: max out Decoy because if you pick your spots right it will tank goddamn near everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGhaKGrR0qI Any weapon with a low cooldown and disruptor ammo will produce plenty of TBs because you can use E-Drain as a detonator instead of a primer. gently caress Incinerate.

You're not charging it to narrow the spread. 2. You can't handle projectile weapons (unlikely the reason given the mention of point blank). 3. Your aim sucks.

I run my Graal barrel and blade, and I can still mailslot guardians from one corner of Condor to the other. Not every bloody shot of course; I'm only human and that's a fair distance for a projectile weapon. But it's still basically pinpoint accurate when charged. Never had much trouble hitting a Nemesis either, but then if she's not sitting still in cover (they always leave their head poking out  ), I'm not trying to shoot her.

Most weapons also aren't exactly great at consistently applying the ammo effects.Also that Decoy would've tanked pretty much exactly as well at level three, the only difference being having to recast it slightly more often due to the shorter duration. I believe the only tangible difference maxing the Decoy's shields makes is whether it takes two or three rockets to be taken out - that's a few seconds at most. \/\/\/ You have a point there, shock might let it draw more aggro, true.

The Shock evo gets Decoy a lot more attention in my experience. Rank 6 obviously is about what you're saying (unless you really like the extra damage from the exploding decoy), but rank 5 increases its effectiveness by a fair bit when placed properly.

Felinoid posted:I'd played with the Graal a lot, and while I guess this is just speculation from observation, I think what you're seeing here is an odd charging behaviour. Other guns when you charge them do more damage, but I think what the Graal does is that it instead narrows the spread on the spikes. On the surface it appears the same because it's the same result most of the time: some of the spikes will miss (likely the ones it doesn't bother rendering because Bioware loves their lack of transparency) and it'll do less damage. But if you try it out on something big and beefy like a Brute or Atlas where you simply can't miss from close range, it looks like the first charged shot does about the same as the follow-up uncharged shots. Nah, just tested with a Kroguard. 6 charged shots to kill a brute, 11 uncharged shots, all from point-blank range. As much as I prefer the Graal, the Crusader does have a bigger clip and a substantially shorter reload time. Against anything that takes more than 1 clip I'd expect the Crusader to kill it faster. I still think the Crusader is bad, but that's because of the recoil and weight.

Dilb posted:Nah, just tested with a Kroguard. 6 charged shots to kill a brute, 11 uncharged shots, all from point-blank range. Well that's slightly disappointing. Still, the Graal's reload isn't much of an issue with reload-cancelling (and you should be using your powers at least that frequently). And while it'd be slightly slower against the big boys, it really does shine against lower-level enemies since it can one-shot them on difficulty levels / bodyshots that the Crusader can't. Nothing quite like rounding a corner with a charged Graal and replacing a Centurion's face with spikes. Guardians probably go to the Crusader though, since even though the Graal can mailslot them, the Crusader doesn't even have to bother with its innate cover piercing. Also personally, while availability of ammo crates makes this only a small issue, I just don't like the idea of spending more shots to do the same thing, unless it also fires faster (they have the same fire rate) or has significantly more ammo (about +40% on both clip size and spare, even when unrealistically compared at the same level). The Graal is more ammo-efficient, and I like that, as little actual difference as that makes. Elotana posted:The Graal sounds like a puppy being kicked The Crusader sounds like a really high pitched version of those old FPS grenade launcher sounds. Which means if they went "CHUNK!", the Crusader goes "CHINK!" QED, the Crusader is racist.

If you find you dont like the GPS, the revenant would also be a good choice for this build. Alternatively, if you're able to consistently get headshots, the Human Soldier can make the Mantis surprisingly useful by cheesing the free reload from Adrenaline Rush. Two fast headshots will do 2500 damage on the first hit and 4250 on the second, which is good to kill most any non-boss on Gold (though good luck headshotting Phantoms twice). It's much less effective against bosses since you can't headshot them, but clearing trash is helpful to your mates and your damage will add up.

The answer to every problem is ME:MP is, get a Cerberus Harrier. Christ that gun rules, especially with a Demolisher and the extra grenade bonuses. I'm also getting back into the Reegar Carbine after ignoring it in favour of the Pirhana for so long. The Harrier and Reegar are great with incindiary ammo.

Just as a heads up the Reeger is glitched with inc. ammo and does way more damage then it's intended to. It's great but it will likely be much less effective whenever they get the next patch out, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Since the latest balance change fixed the Typhoon recoil bug, I tried out the Typhoon V again. It's remarkably accurate when it doesn't have 5 times as much recoil as it ought to, and is definitely better than the Revenant.

Put incendiary IV on your Piranha? While the Reegar does seem to benefit more, Incendiary seems to be glitched in general. It also combines with Warp to do even more insane dots (try Turian Sent). It' also seems to eat other dots when applied, so don't bother using it on say a class with Inferno grenades.

The gunplay is really "mushy" compared to ME3, the constant micromanagement that comes with looting gets old, and the humor tries way, way too hard. That last part really turned me off to Borderlands 1. The problem with the writing is that it tells and doesn't show. It wants to be an edgy, witty, stylized shooter, but they fail because the writing feels too forced. It's like they are writing stuff that they think their target audience will find funny, instead of writing stuff that actually is funny. Plus, that stupid Claptrap thing is not funny at all. It's an obvious attempt at filling the "lovable mascot" niche but it fails terribly because it's so annoying. /Borderlands rant. I wonder when that next ME3 MP patch is coming out?

Be that as it may, at least I think it's more fun to play without having to deal with numerous bugs that can adversely effect and break game play and bullshit game mechanics like stun and instant kills. Plus, you get far more opportunities to get more weapons so the RNG loving you over won't be nearly as big of a deal. Especially since you're not committing so much time and/or real money to get them. Plus, the game starts up on the PC in a quarter of the time that Mass Effect 3 takes. (or less) Basically, I find Borderlands more pleasant and less frustrating to play. Edward IV fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Oct 1, 2012 |

I like the crusader. I was playing with someone not long ago using it on his Geth Infiltrator (Ziffles, I want to say?) and he was just taking the head off of everything up to and including phantoms on gold in one shot. Granted, the Gethfiltrator makes pretty much every gun the most powerful ever, but I still like the Crusader anyway

Crusader has become my favorite serious weapon in the game (Revenant being the most fun for screwing around). I'm not sure why so many people complain about it. The only time it feels weak or awkward to me is when people use powers near you and make your screen wobble around, since there's no way to line up headshots that way.SciFiDownBeat posted:It wants to be an edgy, witty, stylized shooter, but they fail because the writing feels too forced. It's like they are writing stuff that they think their target audience will find funny, instead of writing stuff that actually is funny. This is rather silly. You are implying that there is an objective standard of humor and that the game is factually missing this standard. If there is to be any attempt at humor at all, how should the writers not aim for "stuff that they think their target audience will find funny?" I'm half to two thirds of the way through the game by my estimate, and have found most of it completely hilarious. Part of that is just because so much of it is centered around AIs and robots which I find inherently funny for some reason, but there's definitely a lot to enjoy there. Maybe I shouldn't, though, since apparently it is not "actually funny." Owl Inspector fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Oct 1, 2012 |

A few months ago a lot of people were saying that ME3 would hemorrhage players when Borderlands 2 came out. I don't know if thats actually the case but I've been playing a lot more Borderlands than ME3 recently. The humor can be a little forced at times but both Borderlands games definitely have their moments. Plus the coop is handled really well and its SO nice to play a game where the multiplayer isnt a buggy mess thanks to being largely an afterthought.

Fine then: by my standard of humor, it came off as a try-harding, humorlessly-cheesy game whose incredibly dead writing was only matched by the blandness of the gameplay. Although I'm probably incredibly biased because I had never bothered with the co-op since (on the 360) it was always laggy and buggy for me.

If this all works, I might have to take a break from Borderlands 2 this weekend. But man, why do they hate the Krysae so much? I know they made it overpowered to begin with, but everytime they change it they somehow are able to castrate it further. Still, not being able to grab pyros isn't a huge deal if you aren't a totally terrible pubbie (oh god, I can't wait to gold farm again and see poo poo go downhill quick). I really hope it's true that they fixed the biotic charge glitch, and I cannot fuckin' wait to pull out my shadow. I should theoretically be able to one-hit a gold level phantom now, or at least have the DOT finish her. And if what they did to singularity is any indication, I hope they also revisit pull, carnage, and incinerate to make them as useful as the newer powers.

Well assuming there's no changes to those patch notes come Thursday I'd say I'm pretty impressed. I really like the +10% credits for extracting and the singularity overhaul. Kind of sad to see the Reeger/Flamer trick go but it's a fair change and I'll have a reason to try other guns on my Vorcha I guess. No change to inc. ammo as well so I'll still have plenty of fun with the Reeger.KidKrampus posted:I hope they also revisit pull, carnage, and incinerate to make them as useful as the newer powers. Pull is fine as is. It's not great but it does what it does well enough. Carnage and incinerate really just need a boost to the base damage and they'll be fine. Carnage gets an awesome bonus to armor damage if you take the rank the rank 6 evo, it's just that the base damage is so crappy that it's kind of a wash.

Yeah and they're reducing the vulnerability to stagger for Krogan and Batarians, so Geth should be at least be a little less bullshit when not farming. Pyros being immune to grabs makes them a credible threat to farmers but they're still pretty drat managable. You have plenty of time to kill them before they get into attack range.

Lagomorphic posted:Well assuming there's no changes to those patch notes come Thursday I'd say I'm pretty impressed. I really like the +10% credits for extracting and the singularity overhaul. Kind of sad to see the Reeger/Flamer trick go but it's a fair change and I'll have a reason to try other guns on my Vorcha I guess. No change to inc. ammo as well so I'll still have plenty of fun with the Reeger. I agree with incinerate and carnage, but I feel like pull could really do with a similar effect as Lash where it can at least maybe stagger shielded enemies (or does it now?). It just feels like it could use a bit of a boost to make it more usable, especially if they keep upping the overall difficulty of the game and introduce super-characters like the Fury and such. But for now, I'm just glad that maybe I can finally use the human adept without feeling like I'm handicapped.

This was also just added: -Can now headshot Banshees, Geth Primes, and Brutes for an extra 40% weapon damage. -Can now shoot the Atlas’ exhaust port on his back for an extra 40% weapon damage. There's also plans to put the missing weapon mods back into packs after the patch hits. A Krysae buff is planned as well once the patch comes out.
