I intend to find out if super-secret vanguard techniques thwart Scions in ME3 too.

[Ziegrif]

My batarians would like to ask what is this cover you speak of?

Scions are...keeping their ME2 attack?...

Sweet Celestia, I can still hear that sound...
*poomp*

"Shields gone!"

And then follow-up with a kill shot while you scramble for cover.

HEY, **** SCIONS! SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!! *pulls out N7 Typhoon and goes all Captain Picard on them*
Ow, you downed me, I GOT MEDI-GEL PUNK! *revives self and procedes to shoot scion full of holes*

If Scions and Praetorians are like the ME2 counterparts, I'm using the Revenant on every single class from here on out.

Forget Scions, imagine a Praetorian on Glacier  

On platinum too. Add more to the nightmare.

I'd imagine Vanguards could render the Scion's shockwave useless by charging or nova cancelling.

Too bad the revenant isn't what it use to be. I still miss that adrenaline rush/revenant sound.

In what way is it not the same?

[LimeANite]

Eh, I never had too much trouble with Scions - I just sniped them from max range. Could usually take them out before they could hit me. Vanguarding was decently effective too.

The Praetorian, on the other hand...

It was hard enough fighting just that alone. Now imagine fighting it with swarms of collectors coming in from all sides as well. Not fun. Not fun at all. I really hope they remove, or at least turn down, its barrier regen ability.

I played Mass Effect 2 on an AMD Athlon CPU coupled with an HD 4250 card and the hardest part of that game for me was fighting the geth on Tali's recruit mission. I also played the first game on that thing.....

did you play insanity?
j/w wondering because theres the one part where edi is downloading info from the ship and you cant charge them because you are stuck on the horrid little platform with advancing harbinger collectors.
its the most frustrating sequence in the entire game as far as remember.

I don't think they will have the shockwave this time around, since they have a pulse cannon.

ME2 wasn't that bad on Insanity. The Scions were still one of the easiest enemies to take out with incindeary or armor piercing ammo. I just stayed behind cover and had one of my biotics stagger them occasionally while I picked the drones/husks off. Once they were down the Scions went out like chumps. As for the platform section on the Collector Ship, (with my Soldier) I'd go into adrenaline rush and target the drones as well as have teammates utilize their powers on said drones. By the time the platforms landed the Scions were alone. The one thing that screwed this up was telling squad to get into cover and they just duck down, still exposed and get shot up.

 i suppose you replied before my comment was finished, as i edited something.
i am only referrring to the one part where there are no husks, and you cant take cover because the scions are spamming shockwave from across the screen, it will basically kill you instantly with full shields even with tech armor.  and your squadmates die instantly because they can't take cover on the tiny little platform without getting owned by shockwave.

The Collectors have changed a fair bit... The feeling should still be there, but their mechanics are different from ME2. We've tried to spice them up a bit and improve on them :happy:.

Improve upon what though? I'm assuming "improve" is just a positive word in place of "removed the Scion's op shockwave," because anything better than that would be cheap as hell.

 i will readily admit  i never even considered this, since you can't damage things under stasis in ME2 (maybe that was me1?) , i had deemed it many bad things, such as stupid, useless, unncessary etc.
i suppose this part would have been much easier  haha..

oh wait, my insanity playthrough was before shadow broker anyway. couldnt have.

I'm shivering in anticipation. It's either that or terror.

[Geimhreadh]

I'm... honestly not sure how to deal with scions without TC and a Widow (or AR and a Revenant) with AP ammo. Seriously, only playthroughs on ME2 I've done were Infiltrator and Soldier.

BUT MAYBE THE RAIN!  Is... really to blame.
So I'll remove the cause... but NOT the SYMPTOM!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
