 Guys,i know that we have to try things first,but i was thinking about making a shadow melee build focused on cqc and power damage for shadow strike/electric slash
Basically it's 
6tac cloac(utility)
6/0shadow strike
0/6 electric slash
6alliance training
6 fitness (melee dmg)

It would be really hard and it could not be good for platinum or even gold but we can always try :P

Shadow Strike damage is considered melee so it gets damage bonuses from Fitness upgrades and melee equipment, and not power damage upgrades.

Electric Slash is considered power damage though so it behaves like other powers.

You can get more melee damage bonuses than power damage bonuses :)

does electric/biotic slash initial sword hits deal melee damage or power damage?


I'd have to double check the code but I believe they are all considered power impacts.

All of the Fitness ones, +50% from new weapon mods, +50% from TC Evo 3, +40% (For me at least) from TC extra damage. Wow.


Yes, Shadow Strike can do a ton of damage.

Good to know that, thanks.


I have a question, with the vanguard, while "rolling" ( teleport <_< ) he disapear, when he "is not there" misiles can hit and deal damage?, because while rolling with other humans an atlas can hit me and kill me.



There is a specific time during the move where you teleport, but some enemy projectiles like the Atlas one will still track you.

I'd assume anything that puts your character in reeling stagger (most enemy melee, Atlas missile) would cancel the roll, just as they cancel melee and such.


Yes, the teleport evades follow the same rules as regular evades (rolls) except they go through cover and walls :)
