your trying to equate two classes where one gets the AR, shotty and sniper while the other gets the shiruken and the predator. as well as somone that can activate a power that further increases damage output to every enemy the encounter through their already superior arsenal.

5 second duration, 3 second cooldown on AR too boot. i mean come one.

....yeah the adepts not lacking in the weapons department at all!

SHIRUKEN POWER!!!

you can play 80 percent of the game with the hand canon and the shiruken, unless your hardcore, and why would weapons be lying on randomly anyways? TIM remade me, but i gotta find the tempest on some dead geth on some random planet. its a frickin gun. gimme it.



....the shiruken. not even close homey.

SHIRUKEN POWER!!!

Gets the shiruken and the predator in addition to their formidable biotics. The shiruken, which against shields will do potentially better damage then any Assault Rifle besides Revenant and Mattock, and any sniper besides the Viper. So yea, SHIRUKEN POWER!!!

[The Spamming Troll]

if your trying to make an argument that playing on insaity with the shiruken is the same as having an AR, the shotty, and a snipper rifle, your crazy. biotics mean nothing when enemies have protections up, so what do i do when every enemy has protections??? i fire my shiruken. i shiruken the hell out of those mechs and harbingers butt. while soldiers snipe, shotgun faces, and make it rain with the AR. for reals, thats rediculouse.

on the other hand if your trying to say playing with the shiruken on normal is similar to having the AR, the shotty, and the sniper, then sure im sortof with you. because were judging this game on the 15th run through and i could use a BB gun on insanity.

No, im trying to make an argument that even playing on insanity with the shiruken, or any of the SMGs, will take care of shields just fine on insanity for an Adept, making them quite formidable in addition with their biotics. Against shields SMGs are some of the most capable guns their are.

And with u again saying just untrue stuff like "biotics mean nothing when enemies have protections up". When biotics like singularity, warp, and warp bombs will mean a lot when enemies have protections up, is just starting to make me question ur effectiveness, and not the classes <_<.

Really, i just compared the Locust to the Widow in terms of damage output. I did not know that. Yes the Widow does 368.3, which against shields is 11.8 shots for the locast, not including upgrades, upgrades that increase shield damage even further by 50%. Given the Locust can continuously shoot those 11.8 shots in about the same time the Widow takes to fire off a shot then have to reload, im definitely taking damage into account. Just not single shot damage.

I'm not really sure what your point is, here. The Locust has many advantages but you're claiming it can land 12 shots in the time it takes to land a single Widow shot. The 'reload' after the Widow shot is irrelevant as you'll only be doing that after you've done 12 shots worth of damage via the Locust, and even then is 1.5 seconds - after which you've done another 12 shots of Locust damage. The Locust can't keep up. You've also failed to take into account the *50%* headshot damage boost via the same level of upgrade that you mention in the Locust's favour, which equates to ~150 damage points. The assertion that it does similar damage overall doesn't make any sense as it assumes you'll always have time to pump 12 shots from the Locust into an enemy and that you'll never get Widow headshots. Given the Locust's RPM, that's a flagrantly absurd assumption to make.

That's just not true, even though SMG have lower per single bullet damage numbers, their increased rate of fire make their overall damage numbers quite comparable to an Assault Rifle, especially against shields where their multiplier will potentially be higher. And given Tempest's fire rate and shots per clip it will make it even more comparable against shield. Just suffers from a lack of accuracy <_<

Uh, yeah, it is true. The numbers make it clear. The Shuriken's rate of fire is slower than any every assualt rifle but the Revenant. The Tempest does have a significantly faster rate of fire but it's accuracy is so bad that you can't really expect it's full damage potential to manifest at anything other than point blank range.

To be honest Godlike, I'm beginning to wonder whether you're just arguing for arguing's sake here.

Overall, I think the devs did a wonderful job. I'm just sharing my opinion at this point.

Now, THIS is a singularity:

If that was a fully upgraded singularity, minus the gold hue and being a projectile, we'd be on to something I think.

you are absolutely right here. ive often wondered why my abilities arent my heavy weapons. i mean they put this effort into making heavy weapons when most people dont even use them or even want to see them on their shepards backs. i wonder if they toned down abilities to compensate for weapons. becasue abilities should be nothing short of what i saw in that video. abilities in ME2 are its biggest selling point, so why make a weapoin that does what an ability should do?

Well, once we can figure out how to recompile and repackage those .pcc files, I may make it a project. I was thinking about just trying visual studio since it has a built in C and C# compilers. I need some way to properly view and edit the code without making unwanted changes to other data, and there is a lot of it. We'll see.

I do kinda wish the developers would just post an explanation of how to do this. It's not like it's a secret that there are plenty of people who are pretty underwhelmed by some of the class power sets available.

Me too, but they're not going to show us how to "break" their game. It would be pretty awesome to have an actual Mass Effect mod community. We have to consider UE3 is already highly modified and optimized for ME2 and a very specific experience. It's not a run and gun FPS/TPS like UT3 or Gears, both developed by Epic with their own engine and who already have a very strong mod community going on like 10 years now. The alternative it to wait for someone at BW to implement such ideas, and with already having several games in development that's not very likely.
I was personally disappointed with the fully upgraded singularity, as the only things that change are purely statistical. The behavior does not change at all, and after using the Blackstorm, I was like "why doesn't the upraded singualrity look like this?" The team is clearly capable of creating some awesome effects and powers. They could do so much with that.
Heavy Singularity: could be much larger with a greater gravitational pull, lasts longer and deals damage over time.
Wide Singularity: could be much larger also, but like the one that fires from the M-490, eventually becoming unstable

SMGs do damage enemies obviousely but you cant compare the shiruken and predetor to an AR, shotty and sniper rifle. thats like comparing a pistol to an AR, shotty and a sniper rifle, which is exactly what your claiming. unless your using master marksman with the pistols in ME2. you could probably play a melee only character on insanity, couldnt you? that has nothing to do with the actual damage of weapons, its becasue your on your 18th playthrough.  i mean your argueing the shiruken is greater then or equal to having an AR, shotty and sniper rifle. youll have this argument with 100% of the people here. smgs might work a bit better on shields, but your forgetting about the other 2 parts of this rock paper scissors combat.

i understand singularity "works" on protected enemies, and obviously youll be spamming debuffs on insanity so saying you wont use warp on insanity is stupid. but how much of insnaity is warp and singularity for you? ill give you the answer, 100% of the time. an "adept" shouldnt be called an adept, but a warp/singularity spammer. and dont try to tell me "oh but i use pull and throw when im fighting the collectors on the platforms." and this isnt specific to adepts not being able to play as adepts with enemy protections. no abilities work on protected enemies, so there isnt a class other then soldeirs that plays insanity exactly the same way it can play veteran. which makes me think insanity was made for soldiers only.

this is such an easy argument to make against you i dont really get how i have to speel out it.

[swk3000]

godlike: An SMG will do more damage per clip than the Widow if you ignore protections; I won't argue that, as it's stupid. The numbers prove that. However, the Widow does that damage far faster, as it only needs a single shot to do what the other weapons need an entire clip to do. Combine this with the fact that an SMG user has to stay out of cover longer to get their damage off, and the fact that shields and health drop so rapidly on Insanity, and an SMG user is never going to achieve full theoretical DPS. The Widow user, on the other hand can inflict more damage over time because being out of cover for a shorter time means that they take less damage. They therefore have the ability to do more shots in a row.



Also consider that if you're using the Widow, you're going to be getting Headshots. Headshots already do more damage, but then you add in the +50% Headshot Damage upgrade, and the damage of the Widow far outstrips that of any SMG.

Both proposals break the game - they're way too powerful. It will make Singularity the ME2 variant of DA:O's Storm of the Century.
Singularity already drains defenses and health over time, with the heavy version it will strip any defense of normal enemies in one go (though it takes some time; about 5-6 s).

I would love more modability which is always nice with any game, increasing its value.

I said the Locust can continuously shoot those 11.8 shots in about the same time the Widow takes to fire off a shot then have to reload. Meaning overall their going to be doing the same amount of damage against shields, everything else Widow blows it away, in the same amount of time. Locust arguable even faster. All SMGs have an innate bonus against shields, even before the upgrades.

The numbers make it clear only if u neglect ROF. An SMGs ROF makes them quite comparable to assault rifles against shields. The Shuriken's rate of fire, is burst, which is quite fast given ur finger, and the Tempest accuracy is bad, but can be compensated for by getting closer. Against shields, with overall damage, SMGs are quite comparable.

No, im not forgetting about the other 2 parts of this rock paper scissors combat. Against any other protection most other guns will blow them away, but that's why Adept's have the luxury of Warp and warp bombs to deal with armor and health, singularity the help deal with just about anything, and regular Biotics to also deal with health.

Against shields the Locust only needs 11.8 shots to do what the Widow does in one, slow, shot, in a clip of 25. The Shuriken too needs 11.8 shots to do what the Widow does in one, slow, shot, in a clip of 24. The Tempest needs about 17.5, in a clip of 50.

Now im not saying the SMGs are better then the Widow necessarily, just when it comes to stripping shields. They're up their with the best.

BTW a Widows clip is just 1 shot, so one could say the Widow need an entire clip to do what a SMG can in half .

Also
consider that if you're using an SMG ur alredy going to do formidable damage to shields, you add in the +50% Shield Damage upgrade, and its only going to make it more formidable.

You really shouldnt compare SMGs to Widow against shields. Shield multipliers that SMGs get easily makes it a better choice. But the Geth Plasma Shotgun makes SMGs look like a joke against shields.

i understand the adept can use warp and by doing so it makes the adetp still actually using biotics, but warp is a debuff. a debuff shouldnt be one of the two defineing characteristics of an adept. singularity might seem great in theory, but coming from of the most hardcore biotic fan in the world, im not much of a fan of it. as much as i like the flashyness of incinerate or overload, id much rather be playing the game using throw or ai hacking.

how come dragon age has veriety in classes, a huge inventory, and hobbits but mass effect doesnt?

I don't think so. It's an effing gravitational singularity for [insert diety here] sake. All I am saying is, there is very little difference in the damage and behavior between singularity at the start of a new game and fully upgraded. Where's the upgrade? I don't want a singularity that is essentially the equivalent of a miniature tornado. There is no sense in upgrading powers when they aren't really advancing in any way in their behavior or visually, with just a stat increase. Where is the reward? Where is the incentive for invested playtime and points? Singularity specifically, and adepts in general feel very much neglected in ME2. That's my opinion.

That's a pretty common complaint, and I have an idea for that here: social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/103/index/4632282.

In response to the OP, I think the difference between classes is clear enough to have class preferences.  There's not really anything intrinsically wrong with classes.

the game isnt based around teamwork. thats like saying the game is based on a story. your squadmates do half the damage shepard does, abilities take 4 times longer to recharge, and are not nearly as reliable with weapons as shepard is. who cares if garrus has the mattock or not, hes not shepard. its vertually imposible to assume im going to be warp exploding non stop. i might as well be trying for warp blasts tho since singulartiy is the ONLY effective ability on enemies who happen to still have 1 point in shields left.

midaway through? the next mission is the "no turning back" point in the game. your about done when you get a bonus weapon, hell your about done when/if you get the tempest.

biotics are made for CC, such the same as cryo blast or ai hacking. take away the CC nature of biotics and you have a warp spamming, shiruken bursting soldier for the majoprity of the game.

     Correction, weapon damage is halved while power damage is the same.  This is the reason why you use them to strip defense bars in Insanity, but as an Adept you even have the option of laying a singularity then just setting up a warp detonation once defenses are gone.

     Yes midway through:  http://masseffect.wi..._Ship_(mission)
From the page's notes:  "After you complete at least five new missions — either loyalty, recruitment or even anomaly missions — acquired after the mission on Horizon."  Recruiting should be the priority, meaning you can do one other mission of the above, that leaves tons of other missions from your "one".

     Again, use your teammates to strip a defense bar then you can do CC to your heart's content if warp detonations aren't your thing.  The main point of teammates in Insanity is to use their powers to take off defense bars.  Have you even used your teammates at all?

[The Spamming Troll]

power recharge isnt the same as shepards is it? spamming warp and singularity never gets old? when enemy defenses are gone, theres no need for me to use throw because i can easily take them out with my weapons, hell you can most likely rely on your ammo mod to do the CC for you.



midway through isnt the mission before the no turning back point. thats the way i see it.



enemy protections need to be changed in ME3, whether its removing global cooldowns or eliminateing enemy protections, or allowing for more freedom in classes, something gotta change for the better in ME3. if im just spamming warp and singularity all day in ME3, what the hells the point?
