Do you think that destroyers with typhoons really add something compared to geth infiltrators?


Zhk3r... I'd really like to know the answer to this question as well. Did you go with Typhoon Destroyers b/c they are such good boss killers or what? I'm really interested in your answer.


- Can't be staggered while Devastator Mode is active.
- Has increased weapon damage and shields (on-par with krogan).
- Soaks up damage like a sponge without flinching. 
- Has increased accuracy and fire rate, making automatic weapons more than viable.
- Frag Grenades completely destroys trash mobs (Cannibals, Centurions, etc).
- Can carry two weapons without thinking about ability cooldowns. 

The Destroyer is my new favorite class. It's just amazing - On top of drawing aggro off teammates he can easily take the damage without dying. The no stagger part is what I'm particularly fond of, though. Geth aren't an issue. Hunters are just laughable when playing the Destroyer. When wielding the Typhoon the Destroyer can stand right in front of the Banshee without any fear of being picked up (Magnet hands, etc). The DPS (Damage Per Second) is way to high and the Banshee will only have time to throw her Warp Ball once. 

Typhoon Destroyers can facetank absolutely everything, and still deal insane amounts of damage. As I mentioned earlier two of them with Typhoons burn Banshee's just as fast as Geth Infiltrators with Claymores do. They're absolutely worth brining on speedruns, in my opinion.

I just unlocked the piranha, but haven't tested it yet. Would you say that it's better than the claymore in terms of damage output?


It has higher burst DPS - but the Claymore is still one of the highest damage output weapons in the game. It comes down to taste, actually. On the Destroyer I prefer the Piranha because of the increased fire rate (Piranha is automatic). On the Geth however I'll never put down my Claymore.

Ok.. that makes sense. Thanks for a timely reply.

Do you know that the accuracy evolution in Devastator Mode is bugged? I think Stardusk or GP brought it up in the Balance discussion... Stardusk said he fired a claymore at the wall with and w/o devastator mode on and the spread was the same.

Pretty sure I used only AP III and Stabilization III on Piranha GI. Mandalore's Typhoon was Level I or II.

Nice Job.

It appears that the race for a sub 12 minute Platinum run is getting interesting.

I now believe that a 10 minute run is truly possible.

Again, very impressive run.

The accuracy Devastator bug was debunked.

Very nice!

The fastest I got was 18:30~40 (Forgot exact time)... but that was with 2 randoms who only used 2 rockets.

I wish I had a decent group to consistently play with... :(

Ohh really? I must've missed that...

Not that I'm doubting your word (I do believe you) but can you point me in the right direction to the thread that debunked it. I'd love to read it.

Thanks.

Ah I see. Thanks for the timely reply.

You also mentioned that with devastator mode on, the destroyer can't be staggered?? That's ridiculous. How can a human not be staggered but a krogan can be? A gigantic krogan should not be staggered by puny geth.

The Destroyer is more of a krogan than krogan are. < - True story.

I recon 4 piranha GI's could be pretty insane, with rail amps and AP ammo 4 I'm pretty sure they kill significantly faster than even the destroyers with typhoons.

That's great.

I use Claymore and Typhoon on my Destroyer which I called "Iron Man", you know, red and gold.

I've soloed platinum with it, proof of that need to be uploaded to youtube yet but I can say that this soldier is one of my favorites now, it's really powerful.

Second.

The gun got buffed to an absurd level.

In the same thread that Stardusk started with pics for both Xbox and PC.

Damn! I've not yet made it beyond wave 3 on Platinum. I'm sure it will eventually be the new Gold for me but it hasn't happened yet.

You might work better with some quarian male infiltrators. Detonate tech bursts with multifrag off their arc grenades. Just a thought.

Yep. I'm using it on all my classes. The piranha takes cares of the big stuff and shadow strike the grunts and get closer. Also like the GI she gets a speed boost if I remember right.

Primes/Atlas' are fine. I was thinking more of the hunters ;)

Nice run guys. Looking forward to doing some speedruns again as well soon when I have all my classes back up to 20 (damn you, reset card limit and store not giving me them when I need them).

I giggled when I saw you recommend Nexuiz to Sp3c7er in the chat. I recommended that game to a few people earlier today as well...

Very nice. Also, Nexuiz? There are still people playing Quake 3. :D
