Deploy a mine that detonate when enemies are near.

Pull
Levitates enemies, rendering them helpless while they drift towards you.

Quarian Machinist
Increases Tali's health and shields, and also increases the recharge speed of Tali's powers.

Sticky Grenade
An explosive grenade adheres to your enemy, violently mangling them after a brief period of time.

Tactical Cloak

your cloak, but being cloaked gives you a damage bonus to all weapon,
power, and melee attacks. The longer you stay cloaked, the longer your
power cooldown will be.

Thanks for the info. Anything about vanguards yet?

So is ME3's power evolution basically the same system as ME2, except with 3 evolutions instead of one?

Correct.  Each rank costs more and more points just like in ME2 too.  Rank 1 costs 1 squad point, Rank 2 costs 2 sp's, Rank 3 - 3, etc.  Which means a fully maxed power costs a total of 21 squad points.  This huge cost for one fully maxed power definitely makes a compelling argument for the balanced build approach for characters.

Basically, but I think that's understating it a bit. The changes to playstyle seem a lot more drastic with each evolution - for instance, with the Combo abilities, I might be able to design an Adept that's built for rapid fire, or with High Impact (if it bypasses shields) I can design one that's design to go through defenses in tandem with Warp, or I could just design one that's designed to dish out HEAVY punishment.

In the end, I think it actually might allow more unique builds than ME1 did. I basically takes what was good about ME2's system - having each point give you a noticeable difference instead of minor percentages - and allows you to better tweak the process. I'm mostly spitballing, I'll admit, but I see some good possibilities.

Oh it for sure allows way more build options.  Whereas each of ME2's powers only had 2 possible outcomes (evolve this way or that way), each of ME3's powers has 8 possible outcomes.  That's amazing.

I very much approve of this thread - I've been trying to find out more about power evolution choices for a while now, so thanks for this. Any chance we can get some more details about what exactly some of those choices entail though? Like Amplification for example: what do Amplifying Recharge and Armor Amplification do exactly?

Same with the ambiguous choices for the rest of them (multi-throw and combo for Throw, etc.) and I would love it if anyone who's played the demo as an Engineer would be able to inform us what the Sentry Turret's evolutions are. Thanks to all who contribute.

I am working on the specifics of each choice right now for the post I reserved below my original one.  However, we don't know a lot of them yet, so you guys will have to keep me informed as we hear more so I can continue to update.

[Illusive]

I can't wait to see what evolutions the devs have planned for Vanguard and Charge

[RocketManSR2]

It makes me wonder what Armor Piercing Throw is. Unless they've already changed something during development.

The armor piercing throw is most likely the "High Impact" evolution in Rank 5 of throw.  Don't know the exact details of that one yet.

Oh sweet, thanks, I didn't even catch that. I believe I remember reading from someone who played the demo as an Engineer that the evolution choices for Overload were all between "Chain Overload" and I thiiiink a damage increase. Don't quote me on it though and again, good work with this thread.

I wonder if the Combat Drone's final evolutions are as straightforward as their descriptions make them seem when it comes to Shepard's playstyle (meaning: Flamethrower benefits a CQC Shotgun Engineer and Rocket Launcher benefits a long range sniper/caster Engineer). Anyone think that's a safe assumption to make?

I see. They may have just gotten around to naming them, then?

Wouldn't you want the rocket drone when you're playing in close combat?  It could cover you from long range fire while you're wading through the closer opponents.  This is theory-crafting and nothing more, as I have yet to see either of these drones in play.

Sorry if this leads to a doublepost, but wait... You mean to tell me that one of Throw's evolutions has it bypass Armor? Just Armor or other protections too? Hmm Sentinels seem even more awesome now...

Oh sweet, thanks, I didn't even catch that. I believe I remember reading from someone who played the demo as an Engineer that the evolution choices for Overload were all between "Chain Overload" and I thiiiink a damage increase. Don't quote me on it though and again, good work with this thread.

I wonder if the Combat Drone's final evolutions are as straightforward as their descriptions make them seem when it comes to Shepard's playstyle (meaning: Flamethrower benefits a CQC Shotgun Engineer and Rocket Launcher benefits a long range sniper/caster Engineer). Anyone think that's a safe assumption to make?

I'd say so. The Combat Drone's useful at any range, though, since you can make it pop up right next to enemies. I'm thinking the flamethrowers better for shields and reducing regen - basically a Krogan killer, while the rocket launcher does better overall damage.

Wouldn't you want the rocket drone when you're playing in close combat?  It could cover you from long range fire while you're wading through the closer opponents.  This is theory-crafting and nothing more, as I have yet to see either of these drones in play.

I don't know - if memory serves, the drones tend to just go to the nearest enemy and pummel them in the face. I suppose it's possible that they operate a bit differently now. If we could actually order them around, that'd be neat.

Exactly why I wondered out loud. I don't think it's as straightforward as it seems; it's hard to tell which drone would be better for which situation without actually playing it. You brought up a good point, but then again in ME2 if I cast a drone behind the nearest Krogam and it started firing rockets at distant enemies instead of locking that Krogan down for some sweet back-of-the-head shotgun action I'd have had to change my gameplan drastically.

I have a lot of questions about how Combat Drones (and Sentry Turrets too, for that matter) work in ME3. Flamethrower makes sense with what I know from ME2 but how does a long range rocket launcher on a Combat Drone work if we're still able to cat them directly behind enemies we want them to attack and distract? The whole point and click on any enemy, protected or not, and lock them down indefinitely thing was what made the Combat Drone in ME2 and I'm wondering how a long range rocket launcher fits in with that. o_O

Some of the powers are undergoing an overhaul right now. Part of me being on my 8th playthrough of the game is to give feedback on powers to Eric and Manveer and tell them where I feel a certain power has problems or does not feel correct for the specific class. For example in addition to the evolved options I want the Adept to have a lot more combo potential.

That's great to hear!  As an adept player I very much appreciate that.  It seems like you guys have a lot of really great ideas for keeping the global cooldown as the basis while adding some loopholes/tweaks for more combos.  Thanks for commenting, and keep up the good work.  You guys rock.

Awesome. Is your department hiring? Lol.

Oh and I'm on board with that aforementioned combo potential for Sentinels too. Sounds like Amplification is going to do a lot for those freeze-hurl combos already and I'm all for that! More BioTech combo'ing!

Some tech-only combos would be nice too, I really missed that playing Engineer. I'd say more combo'ing in general

Great thread OP. Thanks for sharing.
