I dunno, my issue with class 'adjustments' is that bioware will take it too far, look at infiltrators now, how often do you see one these days actually using a sniper rifle? I've seen everything from shotguns to pistols like the talon or paladin.


That's my point. We gotta ask Bioware to make nice changes by giving some though out opinions. If we wait they'll kill it.

WTF?

There is nothing to balance here...

The gi does its job and the masses fail with him, same as the destroyer...

They are damned fine, especially from you i wonder how such a thread comes

*edit*

Krysae is fine where it is, still works better then the falcon, put it on a demolisher and you a got a spawnwiping support bomber for platinum

Now I know I'm gonna get flamed hardcore for this, but I'll post my thoughts anyway.  

The reason why there are SO many weapon nerf theads and the reason why we can't have powerful weapons is because GI and Destroyer makes them INSANE. It's just a fact. Any good weapon becomes godly in their hands because of the damage, accuracy and ROF buffs they have. 

Now I'm not asking for a nerf here. 

I think Bioware's idea with the Geth is that they supposed to use Geth weapons. That's why they gave them geth weapon boosts - fine. Reduce the general damage boosts of Hunter mode to all weapons and put them to Geth ones to encourage the usage of Javelin, GPS, GPSMG and GPR. All of these weapons have some kind of drawback and the damage boosts from Hunter mode won't make them OP.

Destroyer. He's suppose to be a walking turret. Meaning rapid fire weapons. So make his weapon damage boosts that he gets from Devastator mode apply ONLY to Assault Rifles. 

Paladin Flame Shield Deployed! 


well that one i liked.

Masses fail with everything. 

Those who get decent with them and get decent weapons (that GI's and Destroyers make tottaly awesome) come here and get those weapons nerfed. Or worse. Get both classes AND weapons nerfed. 

And what I'm suggesting is not a nerf. It's more like a specialization in certain classes of weapons.

Actually it's a huge nerf.

You seen me play GI. You know what I can do with it. And I'm a AVERAGE player. And I know what Shaded can do with. 

What GI does to weapons is not NORMAL. I'm sorry but it's not. 

And you know it. You fear for nerfs and I get that. I don't want them either. But I would rather "sacrifice" my beloved GI than see CONSTANT weapon nerfs that had to be/will be nerfed just because GI or Destroyer makes them OP.

Every weapon has to be balanced around GI or Destroyer now. That's not right.

Assault rifles and shotguns are real soldier weapons...

I'm sorry. But I think a lot of you will not understand what I mean.

So let the cycle of nerfing weapons just because GI and Destroyer makes them OP continue. Let other classes pay the price.

If gi gets reduced to geth weapons only, i can drop my favourite build, the metalhammer, a unique build with a gun that you either love or hate....

**** like that has never to happen!

And next you go to the stupidity of me2 and reducing all classes to one specific weaponset, ruining all infiltrators as i am playing ar infiltrators since me1.....

I just cannot accept seing such talk from you......

What cycle? There are far more buffs than nerfs and far more substantial buffs than substantial nerfs. Two guns have been deemed by Bioware as op and have had action taken against them. Only one class and one character have been specifically targeted for severe buffs. Again I ask, what cycle? Gears of War has had more nerfs than this game and it has 5 guns total. I think we are doing pretty damn well here.

Stop whining, engineer = tech burst class
Vanguard = master of setting of be's while having a slight combat advantage
Adept = master of setting up and off BE's
Soldier = weapon expert 
Infiltrator = weapon expert with a slight tech added (TC and such)

Heck you could even say the vanguard could be a good weapon class but you would need to have full weapon synergy

As well if 2/10 (dual humans) are better than the 8/10 why would you bother whining, there are a lot people who havent unlocked them yet and wow there are 8 different characters to pla

Buffed weapons on GI and Destroyer. Even better. INFINITE LOOP. 

Buffs to weapons and powers would mean buffed enemies. INFINITE LOOP.

Buffs to a lot of weapons are needed. That's a given. 

But power gamers will still use only the best. And then get them nerfed, move to second best - get it nerfed. That's how it's going now.

That is how it always goes, i do trust in bioware to not look at the "powergamers" instead look to those that could do that stuff and choose not to

The question is - how can we make weapon and class nerfing STOP? Or not be as SEVERE?

What causes the most cries for nerfs? Ask yourself that.

I'll give you one combination:

GI with Krysae.

I'll be honest, personally, I would like this change, but I would never ask for it because it would be rather selfish of me. I don't play my destroyer for damage. I like using geth weapons on my geth infiltrator and always thought a 10% boost wasn't enough for those guns. These changes would actually benefit me. Thing is, I understand that the way I play is not the only way. Others like to use their Claymore instead of the GPS. A lot of people play the Destroyer as a damage dealer as opposed to the damage soaker I like to play.

'

Buffing unused weapons such as Disciple etc. doesn't necessarily raise the performance ceiling of the most powerful class+loadout combinations. It just brings up the performance floor of the crap stuff. A buff to the Disciple, Eagle and Raptor won't suddenly make the GI or Destroyer more powerful.

As for "power gamers will still use only the best. And then get them nerfed, move to second best - get it nerfed", you give us "power gamers" far too much credit. I don't see how nerfing currently OP things leads to the next best thing getting nerfed despite its performance staying exactly the same.

Note: I don't really have a point here I'm just pointing out stuff I disagree with.

What causes the cries? scrubs that got beaten by a expert at one or 2 classes and dont get it....

The krysae was just op, i couldnt enjoy using it and i loved it (prox fused heap cannon, what not to love)

Now i love it, parting for the minfiretime conflicting with reload, it is a nice gun for supporter builds and still dishes out a lot of damage, its just no autowin anymore

The falcon still could do well with a buff to minrefire time.... that was over the top, the nerf

The piranha just needs the last buff reverted, my revenant gi still has a higher and longer sustained dps then any piranha could ever hope, all with more range and accuracy...

See it this way simply, who cries for nerfs the most loudest? SCRUBS!

Thank you for your honest opinion :) Makes me very happy. You understand what this thread is about. 

My suggestions are only MY PERSONAL OPINION. They are not perfect or may not be even good. 

But posts like these is what I like. Makes discussions fun.

We finally get a "Weapon Specialist" soldier and you want a nerf. We get a weapon that is slightly better than what we have now but because of a few classes it becomes really powerful and people want a nerf. They buff the enemies and i see none of you people complain about that unfair bull****. They create a new difficultly where scrubs with avengers fresh out of bronze come to mooch off of my carrying and you people still ask for nerfs. How bout people try getting better for once instead of blaming weapons or characters because i can carry people using my N7 paladin and a Talon VIII on gold and platinum yet no one calls either Op so suck it up. You make me sick.

Bioware handled the Krysae nerf badly. A nerf to TC sniper damage and a buff to the remaining snipers would have been nice.....now we just have underwhelming sniper rifles that are usable on infiltrators and pretty bad on everything else.

I'm not against the idea of a HM/Devastator nerf, I just don't know if restricting the damage buffs they provide is a good way to go about it.

True. Noobs who got outscored cry for nerfs. But usually they can't explain why it has to be nerfed. Cuz they don't understand. 
What really gets the nerf threads going are the PRO's. They go on BSN, YouTube and get an army of supporters. And then we get an avalanche of nerf cries. It's what it is. An avalanche. Starts with a small snowball and ends up wiping a whole town. 

Starts with a Piranha nerf thread - ends up with Piranha, GI , Destroyer, Turian nerf. 
Stars with a Krysae nerf - ends up with Infiltrator, Hunter mode, Krysae dead nerf.
