So as I'm sure most of you know, if you fully evolve Geth Shield Boost, you can choose a version that gives +10% bonus to weapon damage.

My question is, has anyone tested if Tech Damage upgrades affects this bonus? (Since GSB is a tech power.)

And if it does, is it additive or what?

I do not think it would affect it. The GSB bonus is a modifier itself, not direct dmg, so won't be affected by tech dmg increases.

That's what I'm thinking, but figure it'd be worth a shot. =)

I wish. That would mean it would give a wopping 60% Damage Boost plus the 75% shields. I would definitely like to see a vid of this. I'm on XBox so I can't help at all.

If the tech bonus did affect it, it'd become +15% wep dmg (10%*1.5 [max tech dmg upgrade]) I'd think. Anyway, like I said, I really don't think it does, but you can hope. :wizard:

Don't forget to use Blood Dragon Armor, and to bring a towel.

Tech upgrades don't affect the 10% weapon damage bonus.

I wish that it was a more significant bonus, like +30%. Then I may actually use it.

Would be nice if +Tech Damage was changed to +Tech Power and increased the maximum shields that you could gain from the Shield talents.

That's actually a really good idea. Do the same to biotics, it makes the protection powers worthwhile and would have an affect on the myriad cc powers that gain nothing from the dmg upgrades (increase the duration?).

Honestly I'd like all the shield bonus powers to become completely passive and part of your normal shield. Having to reactivate it every time your shields go all the way down is a pain and takes away from your ability to use powers tactically.
