Warp Ammo: Fine. Bring back as is
Shredder Ammo: Fine. Bring back as is
Slam: Damage increase
Energy Drain: Fine. Bring back as is.
Flash Bang: Probably not returning.
Inferno Grenade: Probably not returning

Geth Shield Boost: Same as Barrier
Fortification: Same as Barrier/GSB
Dominate: Fine. Bring back as is.
Neural Shock: Fine. Bring back as is.

Couldn't agree more about taking away the timer on all the shield powers. I much prefer the way Tech Armor worked (and TA already had more than enough other characteristics that kept it superior to those skills).

Id like to see Disrutor ammo or eqvivalent for my all mighty powerless Adept, when faced with blue suns or batarians.
I don even want to remember my first Garrus reqruitment, import ME1 adept, insanaty and without Zaeed DLC, and without Arc Projector. It was painful.
You should not be punished for importing from previus game.
Give adepts a chanse!

What? Shredder ammo was one of the worst powers in the game. Completely useless and made reduntant by AP ammo.

Then scrap it. I used Warp Ammo anyway. I just thought there might be some people who actually use it.

[SKiLLYWiLLY2]

I always liked the cool Geth one-way shield they used in ME1 and what the collectors use in ME2.

Although, I'd imagine Bioware have already thought of including it as a power and for whatever reason, decided against it.

Also agree with removing the timers from the shield boosting powers.

I'd say that the Flashbang will be back, it was very popular.

Since they brought back grenades it will most likely be one of its evolutions.

On Veteran or below (which is what the game is designed for) Shredder is powerful.

These tend to be quite a bit weaker than the "normal" ammo powers. I'm not sure that was the intention but I am fine with that because they can be taken by non-combat classes who should not have the best ammo powers.

Yep, agree.

I actually think these are somewhat overpowered as bonus powers and shouldn't be selectable.

A grenade power has been moved into the soldier class. Not sure how it works exactly.

I wasn't actually aware that they were bugged. Is this just graphical? I think they would be significantly overpowered if they functioned like you suggest. Every class would want one. Barrier is fine as it is. The others probably need a boost just so they are not overshadowed by Barrier.

I just don't see the point of neural shock. Compared to so many other powers it just comes up short.

The shield boost powers glitch is just graphical but it makes it disappear to where you wont actually know when it's timer is up.

[Inquisitor Recon]

Personally, I'd rather grenades by something unique to the soldier class and not be separate bonus powers like ME2.

[nitrog100]

I'm glad that biotic powers are going to be more powerful. I play either a straight Soldier or Biotic. The fact that you can pull shields away with Pull.

[Thrombin]

Based on what it is, I don't think it makes sense that Barrier would not be on a timer. It's supposed to be a force field maintained by biotic force of will. Since you're actively trying to maintain it, it doesn't seem right that it would last indefinitely.

Yet instead of shields when playing as a Vanguard or Adept in ME2 its called Barrier and is purple instead of blue.

Yeah, it is my understanding that sentinel tech armor is a better skill (because it is the Sentinel's primary skill) than barrier/GSB/fortification. I think it should remain that way if it remains to be the Sentinel's primary skill.

It still would be even if the timer were removed on the others. It has the burst function when destroyed.

I assumed we were discussing the Activated Power rather than the effect that's already permanent. 

Ok, I'll concede that a certain level of defense could conceivably last indefinitely as it might not take much to keep going but it makes sense that a significantly strong shield boost, like the Barrier Power, would take effort to maintain.

In any case, if you make all the shield powers work the same what's the point of having different ones?

I disagree, the bonus skills shouldn't be even close as powerful to a classes primary skill. Should there be a bonus power that gives Shep a slightly shorter window of invisibility like Infiltrator or a slighter weaker combat drone like Engineer or a slightly shorter biotic charge like Vanguard. No, primary class skills take priority, if anything, I would prefer barrier be restricted to adept and GSB/Foritification not exist in ME3.

No, just, no.

They already all do work the same. They all work on timers minus Tech Armor.

They are similar, but not the same. Barrier for instance can be used while you are staggered which makes it significantly more powerful. For instance if you are hit by a rocket with another rocket about to hit you and cannot move, you can activate barrier and end up surviving. Same for flashbangs, incineration blasts, drones, harbinger, warp etc, barrier will keep enemies from gunning you down while staggered. Barrier is really good. Geth shield boost can give a damage bonus. I forget what fortification can do, seems quite a bit weaker.

Edit: One idea they could implement would be to speed cooldowns while out of combat. This would remove the tediousness of waiting for the cooldown to reset.
