Overall I very much approve. This is the best set of changes yet. Though the changes to Paladin puzzle me.

I'm really confused with the Paladin. It says the weight was increased but it is now lower than what it was in the last weapon update?

Paladin Heavy Pistol

I've just wanted to scream "NO! GOD! NO!" when readed about Paladin.

You've just broke my heart.

SMG buffs.  Nice.  Will have to try them this week.  Good to the Collector Rifle is being looked at.  Not sure if it's still "there yet", upgrading it really isn't much of an option.  Surprised retpallies Paladin is getting nerfed again.  I already don't use it much at all and it's getting to the stage where you wonder why you don't just bring a sniper rifle instead.  Pleasantly surprised that only one of the new character has received changes.


And it was a buff for one of the most major complaints about it as well.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Paladin NERFS?! It is an ultra rare, and it's magazine capacity has been decreased, and encumbrance increased. I guess Carnifex will forever be > Paladin now.

Yeah farming will be a wee bit more difficult, but not too much.

I'm not going to say that these balance changes are going to fix everything, but I'm seeing 10 and 15% damage boosts for neglected SMGs and ARs and thinking this is a great step in the right direction. Looking forward to hearing how much of the problem this fixes, and I'm sure the balance team is too.

Also, as much as I love abusing Decoy, it's great that it's seeing a nerf. Really, it is.

they increased the damage.  just lends more credit to the "paladin sniper rifle" cause

You did not seriously buff the Hornet, did you?

I mean, that thing was already the best weapon in the game on a Turian with AP Ammo...


You don't seriously think that Turians will become overpowered with a slight buff, do you?

Actually, going back and looking at it I think they got it flipped around.  It looks like they actually reduced its weight range back to what it was originally.  That makes much more sense...

They really hit the Paladin hard. Ammo capacity decreased AND an encumbrance increase

By the way, the Decoy nerf was long overdue. I'm very pleased with that.

No, read the notes from the last paladin change. They actually reduced its encumbrance. It wasn't an increase.

Paladin might actually be a clear superior to valiant for infiltrators

I can honestly say that I will enjoy the amount of aggro pull that has been reduced to my Combat Drone. They don't last that long, if you ask me. Besides, I just need it to bother that pesky Guardian.

Decoy, Combat Drone, Sentry Turret, and Geth Turret Powers
- Decreased the maximum number of enemies that will target them at the same time.


Well that's gonna raise a rucus


I wonder what the number is now, or does it vary depending on the strength of the enemies targeting the ummm... target.

We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Hooooly crap, now my Hornet's even more of an animal! Now if it'd get working ULM, it'd be an insane secondary weapon too - but then it rocks as primary anyway. Also, nice Saber buff.

Paladin... well, more bullet damage is nice, and unlike it says I do believe the weight actually went down from 1.5 to 1.25 now. But three shots per clip? Hrm, not so nice, even if the small amount of extra spare ammo is nice. Could've at least boosted reload speed though. But in Gold while in a defensive posture I suppose three shots is pretty much all you can stay visible for before having to duck again. Will have to test it in its new form I suppose.

Good to get buffs on many of the underpowered weapons. For Arc Pistol I wish they'd gone all the way down to 1.0-0.5 for the weight, though.

Very nice changes.

Though one note, you guys say for the Paladin pistol "Encumbrance increased from [1.0-0.5] to [1.25-0.7]" when in an earlier patch note you said "Encumbrance increased from [1.0-0.5] to [1.5-0.9]"

Shouldn't it be decreased from 1.5-0.9 to 1.25-0.7 now? =P


Good catch, we did actually decrease it from 1.5-0.9 to 1.25-0.7
