I think it only doesn't work with SS but if you do a regular heavy melee, it works just fine. It'd be nice if it worked with SS but it still works great as is.

What are you talking about? When I made my sword on fire I killed brutes on gold using 2 shadow strikes but then I respeced to not do that and it took 3 shadow strikes ...... Am I missing something here?
LOL so now armor damage does work?! WTF is going on here, we have 30 different people saying 15 different things. I just promoted so I can't go and test it myself either. Man reading these threads gives me a migraine sometimes. Someone who uses this character a LOT needs to go thru all the Skills and Ranks and be very specific on what effects what, and what is NOT working.
^This.
I'm not going to bother respeccing until we get some clarification that isn't buried a 398,203,102 page thread and challenged by half of the visitors.
Maybe it's just bugged on the XBox then because my SS definately CANNOT take down a Brute on gold with just two SS's. I don't even think I can do that on Silver, lol.

Because SS on Silver normally leaves a Phantom with one bar of barrier, very annoying, so I took shield damage in the hopes that it would then take a Phantom's barrier in one hit.SavagelyEpic wrote...
Yeah, but why would you go for shield damage in the first place...?
With the data from this thread in mind though, I think I'll respec.

So, Rank 5 Martial Artist is only for Heavy Melee? If anyone has access to the .ini, is it possible to see whether or not Shadow Strike counts as Heavy Melee? I know it's a skill, but BW states it's counted as melee. I do hope that BW will count Shadow Srike as Heavy Melee so anytime we take out an enemy with Shadow Strike, we activate Martial Artist.
If we find that Shadow Strike doesn't get any Martial Artist increase, is there much of a point in taking Rank 5 at all? I rarely use Heavy Melee since it's slow and breaks cloak.

False. Just tested against silver Geth, same as before. Before kill, takes 1 DoT tick to kill Rocket Troopers. After kill, he dies instantly.
Only the power damage bonus and sword mastery rank 6 are broken.

Thanks for this info Gamemako
Now, to which power damage are you referring? I'm unclear.

Wait, so one of the spec increases in an ability doesn't work correctly?
Holy ****, I'm in shock. Never seen that happen before.
Krogan Vanguard: Rage doesn't work (screen change comes but no buffs).
Asari Just.: Power Dmg upgrade in her fitness doesn't work.
As for S-Strike working only for Melee & Heavy Melee I think that's intentional.

So the rank 6 should be consider a bug and need to put in the fix list.
There's no reason for the rank 5 melee buff to work with SS but rank 6 damage bonus not to work.

Sounds like it's working as intended. The extra effect appears to be for melee attacks only, not for extra damage on Shadow Strike.NightAntilli wrote...
Is this fixed yet?

Bioware could make a online simulator for all this kind of power ranged/power melee/pure melee and the bonus by techtree and gear.

I was going to ask this question, does it actually work now? Does the armor or shield/barrier dmg bonus apply to Shadow Strike now? Had anyone tested it?
