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

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 :)

 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.

Are there any other powers that have damage considered melee?

ok maybe a dumb question but is Shadow strike considered a heavy melee as far the 75% fitness damage bonus is concerned?

Interesting indeed. From what I read here maybe I'll go for a melee and weapons damage build. From the vids the slash skills looks like to me the slash from the phoenix class. Activation is too slow and dont know if it actually go through walls yet.

To the devs, does both biotic and electric slash share the same animation/properties?

Probably not (for purposes of activating Martial Artist bonus), but if you got a heavy melee kill you'd receive the damage bonus for Shadow Strike.

Mr. Fagnan, if you're still around, how thick of walls are we talking? Like the thin FB Ghost Prefab walls, or solid walls like FB Giant's?

If you'll be spamming Shadow Strike, why choose Duration in the first place? :blink:

Plus the weapon mod, 100% from consumable if you use it, 15% from gear. You can get a ton of +melee =P

Now I just wonder how well she'll be able to survive, since things in melee don't tend to last long without regen or heavy DR.



That's easy. She'll be invisible. 

Drop the +40% dmg from TC and go for duration instead, and spec to use a power while cloaked. You can make up the TC boost in evo 3 and with consumables, and 11 seconds is more than enough time to SS then get out.
