The whole game is about spamming abilities:

Justicar spamms reave, fury spamms lift, engineer spamms energy drain, demolisher spamms grenades...

I think the real problem is the shaking.

Like the Vanguard buff, but I don't see the point until you fix that dang bug.

Like the buffs and nerfs, but I don't really like the KV charge buff, it has a base cooldown like almost the double of its counterparts, only to have 100 dmg more? wtf? should have been at least 150-200 dmg more

N7 Shadow still needs a buff or a fix with her shadow strike. Chances are you are probably gonna be detected and start getting shot at half the times right after or even before you hit your target. It is too unreliable to be used throughout an entire game. So either make a damage immunity before uncloaking from shadow strike or undetectable by enemies before you hit them. Since now that you nerfed the electric slash, making the class useless in platinum.

You must remember it's also refilling up to 1850 shields instead of 900~ in the space of 2 seconds.

Yes, and normally I'd agree, the fact is that the KV has even the rage bugged so you can't play him at the maximum power (let's forget for a second the vanguard glitch that affects ALL of them). At least some extra damage in the biotic charge would be appreciated.
But okay, it's not so bad, only reductive to me.

Nice balance changes. Particularly liked the harpoon and crusader buffs.

Locust could do with more damage, since even if it's damage per bullet at lvl X is now the same as a Tempest lvl 1, it is severely limited by its tiny clip (20 rounds?! For an SMG?!) and slow ROF, and its near-perfect accuracy becomes useless with the way most players use SMGs, which is at CQC. I understand that Locust is supposed to be a long range SMG but then even with the buff it isn't strong enough to do even that.

A small clip is Locust's trait so I'll leave it at that, but then I believe it's damage could've be buffed to, say, [42-53], and make it as light as the Shuriken. It's far from being overpower with this, since it'll still be limited to its small clip and slow ROF (it is the slowest SMG in the game), but it'll become a good backup weapon for long-range fighters.

Also, I still waiting for a good Incisor buff. It currently is totally inferior to the Raptor which is in the same rank, and overall many will agree that it was, and still is, the worst sniper ever existed, even with the massive nerf to the Krysae previously. A buff to the Wraith will be welcomed too since again many will agree that it's performance isn't living up to it's UR rank. I personally love this weapon as it's very balanced and doesn't have any real drawbacks, but then an UR weapon is supposed to be unique, powerful, different. The Wraith is none of those things. It's a great gun, but it just doesn't feel like an UR.

Well, I'll stop my ranting. I like this week's changes, and I hope that it'll get better from now on.

The crusader is finally up to its name, GJ Bioware
I don't think anyone with the Hornet will use the locust so i don't fuxkin care seriously
I don't think the BC buff is necessary but  no one will get hurt from that so fine
I believe adding something like a Claymore mode and Airburst mode for the sticky will be good .
The slayer is already not slashing since people knows B.C+P.D loop melee build is the better way to go, and Bioware you have succeed in slashing his name “slayer" off..............

typical. nerf slash. anything fun and useful has to be toned down.

Because standing in one place pushing the same button over and over is so fun...

Great changes this week overall!


Yeah, because EVERY SINGLE N7 Shadow/Slayer does nothing but that, right?


Every single one i play with does it, even when i tell them to do it away from me to stop messing with my aim they continue to spam it right by me. It needed the nerf regardless of what you think. 1k+ damage (similar to smash) and a much longer reach compared to smash, it needs to share the same cooldown as smash.

Was something changed about the stagger effect of the Banshee shockwave? Before, staying in cover made the shockwave wash over you harmlessly. Since today, it staggers you out of cover?!?! Nasty, I say! Strangely, when shooting over cover, one is staggered no more. Seems like a glitch to me, behaviours switched or something.

Wow locust buff. Still weaker than shuriken. Have you ever try to take it on a gold match without any buff ammo?

Now to wait 3 weeks from now where anything buffed this week gets nerfed for being over powered.

Nice that the Locust got a buff as I have finally gotten one in a pack recently.

Plus Sticky grenade and Sniper Rifle buffs make for happy Infiltrators.

This won't stop them. They're doing it to troll you. Making them have to wait longer to fire it again won't stop them from trolling you with it. Just an FYI.

Ya, is a bit annoying when you are trying to line up some shots then you-know-who comes up right beside and starts spamming earthquakes.  Does make me wish infiltrators had a "slap person upside the head" move with my female infiltrator using her "Cut it out" VO line.

Wow, that's what I call balancing. (Yes, including the nerfs. I see the reason behind those).
Well done Bioware. I will give the Vanguards another try on Gold now. I am still a little wary because of the many insta-grabbing Boss enemies on the higher waves, but maybe I don't have to limit the Novaguard to Silver anymore.

Thank you.

I was a little nervous about the electric slash cooldown, but after playing a bit today I realize that overusing it often just gets me in trouble anyway, and can annoy the crackers out of your teammates. Does make hacking objectives more... interesting. Slayer has a lot of other strong methods of destruction, but this puts a pretty big damper on Shadow when she's confined.

The biotic charge "balance" is very appreciated.... My Krogan Battlemaster is very happy
For Tuchanka!!!

I'm a little worried about Electric Lash. Anyway It has never been a "game changing" power for me. It is useful but the animation put me in trouble several times...

Thanks for the biotic charge balance, BW Image IPB

goddammit, you ruined the slash! and it was the only thing that keeps the Adept N7 Slayer moving on.

Specially with the super bugged up Biotic Charge and useless Phase Disruptor D:.
