My suggestion for the Arc Pistol:

Instead of a straight damage increase for the arc pistol, I'd like to see the ROF somewhat decreased and the damage raised to compensate, essentially giving it a longer effective firing time, more per-clip DPS, and removing the carpal tunnel syndrome.  I do not want to be expected to click the trigger as fast as the Locust sprays bullets.

Good suggestion.

As a preview of the changes, we are making balance changes (buffs only) to Sentry Turret, Combat Drone, and some weapons including the Arc Pistol.

Combat Drone, yes.
Also Sentry Turret is good, but I do hope there's a bit of a basic buff for Cryoblast.


I personally feel a quick and simple buff for Cryo Blast that would make it awesome is to allow it to cryo explode everytime another eligible power hits it.  Right now it requires death of the target to burst, where if it was like tech burst or biotic explosion it would be just right.

The only people that have cryo blast are the quarian engineer and human infiltrator so I don't feel that one change would be too overpowered.  

They can leave fire explosion as is, since it is mucho damage.  All cryo explode does is debuff a few more enemies.

Sweet, Combat Drone and Arc Pistol buffs?  AWESOME.

I'm hoping for some general Assault Rifle fixes too.

The arc pistol is far from decent, don't let the dps fool you. Carpal tunnel for full dps? No thanks.

Oh, and on topic, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :'(

Autohotkey says hello :P

Xbox player without a rapid fire mod says hello.

Why is it that people think you need a MOD for a turbo function on Xbox?  There is an OFFICIALLY LICENSED controller out there with turbo, let me introduce you to HORI's EX2 Turbo Pad.


Why does it matter if it is a mod or a third-party controller? I shouldn't need ANY technological crutch in order to use a weapon to its fullest.

No weapon should have a semi-auto rate of fire high enough to cause serious nerve damage in a short period of use, let alone be unable to achieve its full DPS potential if not used that way.

Sentry Turret buffs?  Yes!

Are Cryo Blast and Incinerate on the list, too?

*wriggles fingers in anticipation*

I'm quite glad to see another Arc pistol buff, I love that gun. Not so excited about the engineer buffs though, as I never play those classes. But maybe if these buffs are significant enough I can start playing them more often.

Revert the reegar's cooldown to its original state. Nerf the damage if you want, but making it heavier hurt the wrong classes.

When people use the "mod" reference people immediately think dirty rotten cheaters.  Point was that there is a perfectly legit and licensed way to have a rapid firing semi-auto...or for people like me who want to control a high rate of fire weapon better without the finger cramps (like firing the Halo CE Assault Rifle in bursts, 60 round magazine after all).

That's why I use one, allows for better control of automatics and rapid fire weapons without the eventual finger pain.  The prevention of the finger and hand pains is one of the main reasons for using turbo anyways.

And no you don't need a technological "crutch", if your hands are fast enough and you don't care about developing finger problems then by all means go for it.  I'm just going to let the controller do the rapid trigger pulls for that though the charged shot is better anyways

That'll require a patch.

Personally, I'd like them to replace ULM with a piercing mod.

And then they'd have to tweak Assault Rifles because SMGs with AP would make quite a few ARs either redundant or flat out obsolete. 

Kinda funny as ARs nead some tweaks already, SMGs with AP would make it even worse.

So... using a respec card on Human Engie will no longer be a no-brainer?


It was never a no-brainer. Combat drone was already good, not for damage but for distraction and CC. Now it will just be better.

I'm excited for this! Sir Frederick and Lady Gaga (my human engineers) will be very thankful.
