Just to clarify a few things on the recent N7 Typhoon balance changes...

We've
done a lot of internal tests on the N7 Typhoon comparing it to other
assault rifles and other weapons, and even with the recent nerf it is
still incredibly powerful
. One of the reasons for this is that the
weapon has an inherit 50% damage bonus versus armor, shields, and
barriers. This far outclasses other weapons in terms of damage bonuses
against resistances. The Revenant, for example, does not get this bonus
and does regular damage to armor, shields, and barriers.

As
always, we'll keep an eye on the balance of the N7 Typhoon, but if you
have the weapon please test it out in game against different enemies to
see how it feels. The numbers can often be deceiving so it's difficult
to tell how effective a weapon is on paper.


Makes you wonder what they consider "incredibly powerful".  Do they consider the Cobra Missile Launcher 'incredibly powerful'?  What about the Eagle; do they consider it "incredibly powerful" (might explain why they made it an N7)?

I can't wait to 'balance' ME3 with Borderlands 2 for a good six months.

I tested the Destroyer with a Typhoon III after the destroyer last nerf to check if the nerf was so horrible like a bunch of guys were saying...

175K on a Gold match, never in my whole ME3 career I got so many points on a single match.

You guys love to whine too much.

PD: I took a screenshot if somebody don't trust on my word.

I don't find this weapon to be incredibly powerful, but I only have it on V. Maybe I'll think differently when it reaches X.

Off-Topic: Anyone else notice Rhifeno just...disappeared? Or is it just me...? I liked reading that guys comments...

They do listen to everyone for the most part. However Bioware understands that they should NOT make one gun/kit combo so power as to make platinum/gold seem like silver for "the noob players".

Not only are gold/plat SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFICULT... But the reality is they simply can't have everyone being able to get credits that easy. Why do you think they crack down so hard on farmers? Because they earn their living off the store, all the DLC is free after all.

And like Eric said, it's still a REALLY powerful weapon, most of you have just been using it for so long that you forgot what "normal" guns are like. Seriousy go play a plaitnum game using the Vindicator, then tell me the Typhoon sucks.;)

It's not a REALLY powerful weapon.  Harrier and Particle Rifle are REALLY powerful.  Typhoon isn't nearly on the level of those two weapons at this point.  As an Ultra-Rare, it should at least be close.

You know, the Typhoon competes with the Revenant at the moment. It seems more stable in all honesty...not just on the Destroyer... I tried it on the Geth Trooper last night, and it's pretty darned effective in Hunter Mode...and out of it even.

What is the Typhoon's DPS? I agree that at full firing speed, the Typhoon should be similar to the Harrier. Yes the Harrier is for burst firing, but the Typhoon should be hitting just as hard or harder, as it doesn't have the same stability as the Harrier.

After seeing Fagnan's comment... bypassing enemy resistances makes a big difference. It also means I can go with AP ammo mods for wall hacking with Hunter Mode.

With the Destroyer nerf I think they should rebuff the N7 typhoon, is a ultra rare super heavy weapon, so this weapon should have its old damage back.

singed though i'm mainly concerned with the SP version of this weapon, can't even modify it myself thanks to dlc restrictions, or at least, not yet.
