They're pretty manageable now that I've learned them a little more...

But they're SO ANNOYING. Nothing fun about them. Mindless smash spammers.

Phantoms at least feel rewarding to kill. I find phantoms easier actually.

With dragoons I'm just like, "I'm glad that sh*tstorm of yellow stupidity is over."

Is anyone else having problems either targeting them with powers or having powers resolve on them? I wonder if their extreme speed exacerbates some of the lag issues with the game.

In other words, lag is more tolerable with a slow enemy because even it's still roughly where your client says it is.

I'm wondering this too- Energy Drain from my Salarian Infiltrator will cause them to stagger- well- only sometimes. Why!? So I end up spamming that to help bring them down and feel like it's barely useful since it doesn't give them that "neural stun" effect 2/3rds of the time. <_<

I find them annoying as well but only really because they're almost completely silent. You'd think a group of 4 armoured usain bolts sprinting round a map whipping everything in sight would be fairly noisy.

Hah! Try Gold Cerb pizza delivery. Four Phantoms and three Dragoons stunlocking you then either stomping you the second you go down, or sync-killing you. Missiles don't help because you can't get more than five metres before the next wave of Dragoons is on top of the objective.

Also, at least three turrets between you and the goal at all times. Silent turrets.

Only thing I don't like about them is the olympic speed running WHILE shooting their guns. They can actualy catch me while sprinting.

[jordie3000]

Every time I get cornered by them (and it is "them", they run in packs, like whip-wielding white wolves), I feel like those girls stuck between the Roxbury Guys. It's... unpleasant.

I kill dragoons using Smash on the Phoenix Vanguard. Sweet revenge...

[N7-RedFox]

Thanks to Dragoons i can no longer solo Gold Cerberus because they catch up to me WAY to fast when i'm doing the 4-Hack Device objective. Even if i lure them to the other side of the map they still get there before i can cap the device then melee me off of it. They sprint like a Drell with adrenaline mods

For team play I don't find them difficult to deal with. Trying to solo gold on a wave 6 or 10 pylon objective you might as well give up. Even if you kite them to the other side of the map they will be back and killing you before you complete the upload. In this regard they are just too fast to get away from. You kill them and restart the download and find they are immediately replaced in the same general area. Soloing Cerberus used to doable. Now depending on the objective, Dragoons can make it impossible.

Team play on the other hand, I think they are a good addition in general for Cerberus. But as soloing is a recognized challenge objective I'm not sure how they can be balanced for that aspect without reducing their speed to no more than a phantoms.

Edit: beat me to it.  Yes, it's a problem.

Dragoons have replaced half of Cerberus spawns. I get that you want to show off your new creations Bioware, but a conga line of yellow rapists, who never take cover, move at ridiculous speed, have no cooldown on smash, ignore cloak and also shoot you from long distance is too much.

I mean wave 4 and 7 on Gold Cerberus is basically only Dragoons. They are so boring and stupid.

Dragoons commit to striking a certain spot as soon as they start spinning those whips up. It's really easy to dodge. Asari vanguard makes them look like idiots, playing as AV I can take on 2-3 of them at once easily (it is the best dodge in the game, I know). Just engage them in open ground, dodge as soon as they begin their strike, and then hammer them. Their whip attack move takes a long time and they're very vulnerable in the middle of it.

Honestly, if they were slower, I think they might be harder. They tend to arrive by themselves, if they showed up instantaneously with a bunch of troopers it would complicate things a lot.

It does bother me though that you can smother them in a landslide of gunfire and they won't take cover. I mean, come on. Sometimes you just need to slow them down a little, but right now they walk around as if they're bosses.

Kishock headshot = one shot. Dodge = god mode. Any power = stun.

I hope they're not getting nerfed, even nemesis are more dangerous right now.

Clearly you're just facing them one on one. Good luck getting head shots.

[Jaison1986]

They either need to have their armor switched to health and barriers, or have their movement speed reduced. Right now, things are a bit ridiculous. Extraction wave became a nightmare. If these changes are not made, at least add the ability to knockdown/lift them.

[adneate]

They are so fraking annoying, and they have the hands down most idiotic AI in the game it's like something a 1st year programmer would come up with. They move in a straight line towards the player, they attack as fast as they can and if they get shot enough they might roll to side then continue to move in a straight line towards the player.

That's all they do and they get spammed like crazy after about wave 6 all you really worry about is fending off the Dragoon spam. Every single Gold game I've had wipe on me is because of Dragoon spam, every single one. Honestly I would say Dragoons are the genital herpes of the game right now, you can never get rid of them and you spend all your time just trying to manage the constant outbreaks.

 I just been to Cerberus forum and they want a petition to banned the M99-Saber because it effecting their new units. 
My engineer will not stand for that. 

[Bekkael]

Yep, I hate them and how different MP feels since all the patch/DLC changes.

For the first time since April, I'm going to back away from ME3 MP. The amount of frustration with new enemies and the wonkiness of whatever is going on with shield and health gates just leaves me frustrated with skyrocketing blood pressure. Not good.

Time to build houses and pick flowers in Skyrim.

[Chriz Tah Fah]

They need a new VO so that they don't sound like centurions.

Also soloing cerberus with the 4 hack objective is a PITA because if you kill the dragoons then start doing the objective they would have respawned, reached you, and smashed you to cancel your defuse before the 10 second defusal is finished.

[Counter Knuckle]

I love the Dragoons. It's like I'm playing ME2 again, where the most dangerous enemies are the ones that march ever-forward.

Getting run down by a pack of Dragoons is goddamn exhilarating.

[D Wrecks]

Only just now? They've been as utterly annoying as geth since they debuted.

[corporal doody]

SCORPION SCORPION SCORPION!!


or slap then with a Warp....Throw...BIOTIC BOOM!! then one more warp = dead!!
if there are a gang of them and they get hit by the explosion...there is a chance one of them gets caught with warp splash....it will die in short order

CROWD CONTROL

[snarf001]

Dragoons were designed to press the attack and can be annoying, second annoying only to hordes of Geth Bombers coming out from the conveyor belt.

[sclera]

I kinda wish the new Cerb unit was an elite soldier with a harrier. Kind of like a super-centurion, with shields and armor.
