Tactical Cloak is completely worthless because the enemies can see you when you're invisible. It's not even a power, it's just a visual effect that looks cool but doesn't affect game play.

Why? The enemies can see you when you're cloaked. Which totally defeats the purpose of  "cloak". Everybody should hate it. Why am I an idiot????

And I don't use sniper rifles so the damage bonus doesn't do anything for me.  I just want to be invisible when I'm activating objectives but I can't be.

I'm not sure what game you're playing, but Cloak works perfectly fine for me - enemies just stroll on by.



They shoot & kill me from across the map.  I tried to solo bronze the other day & while I was trying to activate the objective I got shot from everywhere. Cloak has no effect for me.

And if I try to use cloak so nobody sees me going to the objective, it wears off by the time I get to the objective so i'm screwed either way.

I've never seen a Geth Rocket Trooper just stroll right by. they know where I am at all times.

While that is super annoying, don't forget that cloak is a very useful, game-changing ability. It means weight doesn't affect you. It means all of your shots and abilities get a huge damage boost. It synergizes so well with proxy mine it ain't even funny.

I'm not sure what the deal is with it not actually "cloaking" you. I feel like it's hit and miss for me. Remember that there are quite a few enemies that can see through cloak, like hunters and banshees and phantoms, I think. And also you aren't actually invisible, just cloaked, so it only really reduces your aggro.

For everyone whose game isn't incredibly, fantastically bugged to ****, the power is actually pretty much overpowered and is a frequent "nerf it!" topic.

As for the worst, I'd go with Pull or Singularity. They're pretty much interchangeable, really. Pull is probably overall worse, I guess, but it's pretty moot either way. I don't think Shockwave is nearly as bad as its made out to be. Underwhelming, no doubt about it, and probably in need of a buff, but it's not nearly as bad as Pull or Singularity.

I really don't get all the shockwave hate. I swear by it. One of my favorite abilities by far. It shoots through walls!

What ever happened to AI Hacking anyway?


It got rolled into Sabotage


Sabotage and AI Hacking were two different powers in ME1.  I cannot say for certain, but I suspect that Decoy was created to replace AI Hacking (just a few balance adjustments and AI Hacking should be fine to use in Multiplayer).

It's strange how we lose something good for something bad. :?

Singularity, Shockwave, Pull (on Gold), and Sticky Grenade for being the worst grenade.

Another vote for Singularity and Pull here. Shockwave has its uses when hurling it through walls. Otherwise, long range seems to work better.

Also Sticky Grenade. Feels like the worst one out of all of 'em.

Pull, then Singularity. Pull tops for me, because it lifts a target up. By the time I can slap a Reave into it, even with 200% cooldown, the enemy is too high up for the Biotic Explosion to hurt the other bad guys in the area.

I don't like Shockwave, or Smash. Just don't like them, at all. I do like Singularity since they're improved it, but the other adepts are so much better put-together, that I just don't play the characters with those abilities because they feel so weak in comparison.

Imagine, if you will-

Bioware lets you make your own custom class. You can choose any three (3) powers from any existing class (or classes) in any combination you want.

I dare you to tell me you would pick ***ing...

- Shockwave
- Singularity
- Pull

In single player, pull was alright because you could get a defense stripping bonus power, then use double pull projectiles with double throw projectiles to set off some epic explosions. It's not nearly as good in multiplayer. Singularity is also pretty weak. The explosion evolution needs to do damage when a BE detonates rather than when the field dies.

In single player, pull is AMAZING.

Swap singularity for reave and that would be my favourite biotic character kit of choice, funnily enough.

I loathe Concussive Shot, but I almost never play Soldier so IDK how good or bad it actually is. I guess I've always seen it as an inferior Throw.

As much as it pains me to say it, Singularity is pretty bad, especially compared to Pull, which is saying something. You can evolve the latter for AOE and get a completely superior power for the small price of not sticking around if you miss.

Smash has to take the prize for worst implimented power.

Pull though takes the cake for best idea with worst application.

It's meant to function in conjunction with Cluster grenades, the Rank 5 evolution you can end up doing 100% damage to a lifted target. That's like 2000 damage plus the Explosion.

HOWEVER, You can lift a total of like 6 enemy characters total, none of whom have more than 2000 heath after shields and usually the damn things fly too far away to even get caught in the cluster's blast.

Sounds cool on paper at least.

If I'm playing with people I know (in which teamwork is actually used for a change) I'll use someone with shockwave that's evolved to be as large as possible and then biotic explosion all day while doing decent splash damage everywhar

Why would you pick shockwave and pull over, say, anything else? Especially if you have reave.

Nova,takes your sheilds and it'll get you killed quicker.


You do get invincibility frames while using it, half blast allows you to retain half of your shields, even if you lost your shields the shield-gating is still in effect and it also detonates biotics. That and any shield lost can be regained by Charge right away since Nova has no cooldown. It's not the worst power by a long shot.

The minute you use the nova again after you used the biotic charge .You will be shot guarenteed,Most Vanguards will die in Gold.It's only useful in silver and bronze.

Exactly my brutha!  +90% Damage buff to all power and weapon damage, +130% sniper rifle damage, 3 second cool down if used before it expires, 10-13 second duration, dump aggro on team.  Who in their right mind wants that?  It's goddamn reaper tech!  Only the indoctrinated would use that crap!

I have seen people say that sentry turrets are useless; they are not if you pick the flame thrower option at level 6 (hence one reason why I like playing as a Geth Engineer; if you use sentry turrets right, the weapon that you hold in your hand will only be supplemental).

As a fan of the Engineer class, I like to use powers more often than my weapons, so long as they cause significant damage to the enemy. However, I like to think it standard that every engineer should have a drone/turret or an equivalent; the only exception is exclusive to Salarian Engineers.

As such, I believe that the worst ability would have to be the Decoy; other than distracting Banshees and other enemies, it is pretty much worthless. Turrets and Drones can distract enemies just as well and actually cause significant damage to enemies. Since the Decoy can be rigged to explode, so can the combat drone; however, the combat drone can still attack enemies. What ever happened to AI Hacking anyway?



But with tac cloak you can have 1 to 3 drones, turrets, bots, killing machines, fluffy bunnies.  And, if they go down, you just lift them back up, while cloaked of course..

Well no, I'd take;
Charge
Reave
Energy Drain

But I'd rather have your suggested character than one with;
Concussive Shot
Marksman
Submission Net

That's just 3 powers that have better alternatives...
