Does anybody have any knowledge if the Gear that increases shield capacity increase Nova's damage ingame?

Thats the only thing Im confused on for my Novaguard, what Gear to use.

I have not tested Stronghold Gear for damage purposes, but Cyclonic Modulator IIIs do not add any damage to Nova. The damage seems to be based only on the percentage of shields, not on the actual value. I usually use Stronghold Gear V on Gold, it helps with the random deaths against Geth for one. Rather stay alive than do a little more damage.

The "Percentage of Barriers not strength" idea seems pretty accurate. Im probably just going to start assuming that from now on for choosing Gear.
 
Thanks for the advice.

Glad to be of help. I ended up finally making that solo run. Geth/Glacier with half-blast i.e. very boring, but 32:43 isn't too bad of a time.

As many of you know, a hidden 50% damage reduction for 4 seconds is listed for Biotic Charge in coalesced.bin. I decided to try if it actually works, and it does. The damage is only reduced by 37.5% due to the way damage reduction math works in the game.

Love the guide

I asked Thomas Abram about the Nova melee cancel with objective thing. It always felt a little cheesy to me, and I didn't really feel comfortable using it in public games. With the new Cheating thread I figured this is a time as good as any to make sure it's ok and not considered cheating. This is what he replied in a PM:

"That looks like a clever use of ingame mechanics to me. Nothing punishable. Good on you for perfecting your craft "

I did some tests on staggering Phantoms on Gold.

Force&Damage, Power Synergy:
Staggers Phantoms as everyone should know by now.

Area Charge, Power Synergy:
Doesn't stagger Phantoms.

Force&Damage, Weapon Synergy:
Doesn't stagger Phantoms.

Essentially just means that you have to have the 15s power synergy bonus on when you charge a Phantom. So don't charge them as the very first enemy in a round etc.
