i love the typhoon on the krogan sentinel, he DGAF about cooldowns. may not be the best weapon to use but it just feels like such a ... krogan gun. big guns, lots of bullets, heavy weight, a real krogan's weapon...

After seeing that the Typhoon uses up two rounds to do 1.5x damage, I have to ask people here who got it before me... was it really necessary to nerf?

Its DPS used to be..... 1680?

Note: The Pirhana hits for 1400.

That's assuming that the entire clip for the Piranha hits with every pellet. According to the stat that you just posted, the Typhoon I still hits for 1260. That's better that weapons like the Wraith, Revenenant, Saber, Mattock, Arc Pistol, Harrier, Graal, Crusader and Paladin.

So yeah, the Raider, Reegar, PPR, Hurricane and Piranha may still beat it but the Typhoon is still S tier.

The Typhoons current DPS is around 1343 on defenses, If I remember correctly. (It should only be about 83 less on armor if used with the HVB.)
Its more accurate then all of those, minus the PPR, However, Its charge time is only .75 seconds, as opposed to two.

So on any character who staggers, the Typhoon should reasonably give better results then the PPR.

I liked the Typhoon before the nerf. I would use it and have fun with it on a Destroyer or Turian solder. After the nerf, not so much i rather equip the Harrier or Saber.

Yeah the nerf killed it.

Typhoon is good with full medic turret weapon-spec GE. Idea came to me when I encountered pair of GE with Typhoons next day after Earth DLC and they were goddamn angels of death.
I tried different GE builds but in the end Typhoon GE is my favorite way to utilize Typhoon - good damage plus great team support.

Honestly I only really had consistent success with the Typhoon using with the Destroyer. Typhoon was designed with Destroyer in mind.

That would be a good combination as well. But the main reason i dont equip it on characters that get staggered is that i dont like to stop firing with the typhoon mid-way as the re-ramp up time can be pretty irritating in some situations.

Imho, the Typhoon is basically a gun for platinum. It is average against mooks, but against bosses there is no better gun, period. So yeah, on gold you're better off with the harrier. But on platinum, where around 70% of the enemies you face have armor, then you can really appreciate that gun. I mean, with a TGI you can melt an atlas in around two cycles of cloak. To me, that's impressive.

A buddy of mine was playing with a dev recently and they said the Typhoon was actually designed for the Turian Soldier.  While the Typhoon and Marksman are a great combo, the gun's synergy with the Destroyer is too perfect to be coincidence, so I don't know if that's 100% true or not.

The Typhoon actually has a number of nice advantages over the Particle Rifle. It loses out in raw damage output, but its secondary perks are hard to ignore: It can fire for longer, it staggers enemies (including Bansees) easier, loses no damage when shooting through cover, and as Rokayt pointed out, it ramps up a lot faster too.. It even reloads relatively quickly for its huge magazine size.

I just tried it on my ghost. By no means bad but by no means better than a Harrier/PPR.
They need to significantly buff the damage against armour bonus...

[SiIencE]

I've used it on all those N7 shadow/demo/destro just for the Earth challenge. It's usable on bronze on any character really

[Star fury]

Typhoon was nerfed to the ground, baby. Just saying. Absolutely not the same weapon before the nerf.

[longgamma]

Trick using the typhoon is to land as much of shots as possible ( I use a recoild mod and stabilization mod - almost a straight line of fire in midrange ) and keep the gun firing in the ramped up mode - basically characters that dont stagger - Destroyer.

If you have specced Devastator mode for RoF and Accuracy, you can melt gold banshees with a constant stream of headshots. With the nerf, it shines beyond level 4.
