[No Snakes Alive]

Okay just one more off-topic post from me here but I srsly lol'd at how well my asinine idea of "Codename Dodo-bird" caught on haha. And hmm... I didn't realize they were so biotically capable. I'm wondering if B-Ware still has a few aces up its sleeve with the characters.

Anyone have any idea if the Defense Drone will look like a Combat Drone or different? And how about what Decoy is going to look like?

I will always call him dodo from now on.

I was led to believe the dodo was actually a Megalodon.

Marksman would have to be a all around weapons power now not just for pistols. . . Because isn't Ash weapons load out sniper rifle and assault rifle. . . .

 I think you are right.. it seems to be a just a temporary weapon damage boost

[ZenJestr]

yea it's just like Carnage is now; it works for all weapons.

it's simply a mode that increases rate of fire and improves accuracy...


which is going to be beastly with a Revenant

and with a Soldier's AR specced to allow 1 move during the effect, an Adrenaline Rushed Marksman Revenant Soldier is going to clean house more than s/he already did

ARush didn't increased Shepard's DoT. The extra damage is there to compensate the slowmo effect. In ME2 someone who can shoot accurately and at max RoF will inflict (roughly) the exact same amount of damage, in the same amount of (gameplay) time.

Assuming this hasn't changed in ME3, it means that stacking ARush with Marksman has little effect compared to a non-Soldier who uses it and makes his/her shots count.

[jasonsantanna]

I ask this before . . . Maybe nobody knew the answer but how is concussive shot going to differ from carnage . . . Once your able to add ammo powers to CS. . .

[ZenJestr]

I was referring more to the slowdown so it's easier to mow people down when they're standing (essentially) still than if they were dancing around the battlefield.

which I'm sure will come in handy against Phantoms

@Shepard the Leper . . . How do you know AR and Marksman won't be able to stack. . . Don't the other powers stack ala tech shield + barrier. . . .? Im confused why wouldn't it ?

Good question they do not appear very different, both seem to be burst, one time use from the footage we've seen.

Concussive Shot is more force and CC, whereas Carnage is straight up damage blast. 

[ZenJestr]

an analogy would be:

Concussive Shot is similar to Throw

Carnage is similar to a Warp Explosion


plus you can spec CS to essentially turn into Overload (Disruptor Ammo), Incinerate (Incendiary Ammo), Cryo Blast (Cryo Ammo), Warp (Warp Ammo), etc.

I didn't say that. I only tried to point out that stacking ARush with Marksman has little impact on Shepard's potential Damage over Time output. ARush's slowmo effect obviously makes it a lot easier to achieve the top DoT values, but Markman can provide the same service to all other five classes.

I like how Marksman and ARush can work together, more synergy between powers is great. But I doubt I'll be using it on my Soldier. They've got enough passive abilities already, I'd favor something I can use directly on the enemy - not the 5th buff to boost weapon damage

[jasonsantanna]

So it seems like CS will be the better of the 2. . . Being able to add the ammo power and all creates more of a all situation type power. . .

[Cloaking_Thane]

So Marksman can be equipped at all times now ala tech armor? Penalty?

[jasonsantanna]

@ shepard the leper. . .sorry . . . I get you. . . I may have read your meaning wrong. . .

No, it's pretty much the same as it was in ME1.

A bonus to the rate of fire and accuracy over a certain amount of time.

[No Snakes Alive]

Anyone else think about how if they did allow us to have 2 bonus powers (and that's a big if), an Engineer with Defense Drone AND Decoy on top of their Combat Drone and Sentry Turret would essentially turn Shepard into commander of a small robotic army. That build would be ridic.

Without spoiling too much, you can figure this one out on your own. What, besides being stupid, is the dodo bird most well known for? And what in the Mass Effect universe is widely thought to be the same? Bingo, codename dodo invented.

True, but then I don't know why but I see Decoy as more of a hologram (of Shepard) rather than yet another robot, pretty much in the same way Decoy works on Assassins Creed Revolutions. Seems somewhat likely to me consider who is rumoured to have Decoy.

Also... god it's great to be able to enter a topic in here that isn't just whining.

Yeah that's why I was asking before if anyone has any idea what Decoy will look like, in case it was mentioned in the script how that works (fat chance, I know). I imagine it'll be a hologram too, but of Shepard him/herself? Don't know. I just picture a sort of holographic combat droney looking thing myself. *Shrugs. No idea really.

And yeah I love that this topic is free of whining... when Spamming Troll isn't posting! Oooo sick burn. (JK dude don't rage at me; we're like best friends now.)
