Well, some of the latest balance changes were good and some not so good.

However I have question about Valkyrie.

Will she be part of some challenge, just like Krogan Shaman is part of bloodpack mastery? Or is this something you will do later?

Nice balance changes. Would've liked to see some weapons buffed too though.

Great changes this week Bioware. Now for next week we just need this:

Eviscerator buff
Scimitar buff
Disciple buff
Katana buff
Raptor buff
Incisor buff
Viper buff
Krysae buff
GPR buff
Avenger buff
Phaeston buff
Striker buff
CAR buff
Sentry turret buff
Submission net buff
Stim pack nerf
Shield boost nerf
Harrier nerf
Hurricane nerf

Remove ability to set up fire explosions from incendiary ammo. (Makes it too easy and makes fire powers useless)




Stay the **** away from my Harrier and Hurricane! what are you?  A monster?

The only way I'd ever use the Hawk Missile Launcher is if it was given a buff that made it shoot hydra missiles during an instant kill to keep the Destroyer immune to them.

I mean seriously who hasn't thought that they Destroyer and the Krogan look STUPID just dangling there while she holds them and allows their arms to hang by their side as if they aren't able to shoot her in the face? It makes perfect sense for a character like the...Oh I don't know, lets say the Drell?

Seriously, play Platinum or even GOLD before you try and defend the "buff" to the HML.

Amen.  The Harrier and Hurricane are already balanced by their high recoil and low thermal clip capacities.

Heh, despite the obvious work and thought that goes into balance changes, if BioWare nerfs something that you use, it's the end of the gosh darn world.

Not feeling most of these nerfs if i'm honest :/

Devastator mode now with smaller clip size AND reduced RoF... o_O

Same for the Supply Pylon, less respawning ammo AND reduced damage bonus... O_o

How come only changes for Bronze/Silver re: Geth Bombers and Dragoons?

Next i'll probably find out the new character is crap...

The Destroyer and Demolisher were the only two sure wins on a Platinum regardless of how much you like any other class you can't deny that they were the go to characters for it.

Geth Infiltator says, "Does not compute."
Quarian Infiltrator points at GI and says, "I'm with stupid."

Why you nerf Hawk missile launcher? The only reason I don't use it is the shield penalty, AND NOW YOU MAKE SHIELD PENALTY MOAR?!

Other than that I like all the changes, good work.

Drell adept changes are welcome - however he will be not Gold ready.

However Cerberus wave rebalance is a bad joke this isn't solving anything.

What is "hit reaction" on geth hunters?

Destroyer nerf is totally unneccessary.
1., the increase in Hawk missile damage is not worth the shield penalty. Most Destroyers are see on Gold matches are don't using Hawk missile - because it is better to max out all other powers. 40% reduction in shields are not worth the 200 damage.
2., Magazine size bonus reduction also seems unneccesary for me. This is just ruining people who had prothean particle rifle where magazine size bonus made a huge difference. I assume most of these people will just respec and use another gun. Mag size bonus reduction seems a penalty for a certain playstyle. It's a shame.

And Bioware doesn't even touched the main problem, ie. overpowered collectors.

Why the changes to devastator mode and the supply pylon?


I like that HAWK nerf. Didn't realize Destroyer and Supply Pylon were so terribly broken? These changes are getting more absurd by the week.

Destroyer was a favorite class, not because he was very powerful but because liked his playstyle. Now you've hit him pretty hard with a tiny buff the the Hawk. Challenge accepted I guess.

Final note. The Valkyrie though? Really? No way that was one of the things people anticipated most. Should have been Drell Infiltrator, Geth Soldier, or maybe even Asari Infiltrator.

 Evolve 1 shield penalty reduction increased from 25% to 40%

Read: 

Evolve 1 shield penalty reduction now reduces the shields for 40% instead of 25%.

Thanks for your attention, please quit annoying me now.

I like:
The extra 50% for husk kills (Death Guard here I come) and the Geth nerfs.

Not so sure about the armor buff on brutes...

This is probably been brought up already, but shouldn't the line

Evolve 1 shield penalty reduction increased from 25% to 40%

Read as....

Evolve 4 shield penalty reduction increased from 25% to 40%

?


No, the REDUCTION percentage increased, from a lower value, to a higher one.


I realize you've been correcting people left and right for misreading Eric's statement, but when I open up the HAWK  power list in-game the only reference to 40% that I can find is at level 4, not level 1.......   Am I missing some nuance of nomenclature?

 Just wanted to point out that the ones who are really hit the worst by the Destroyer nerf are the people who Did't use the over powered weapons (I'm looking at you PPR <_<). I loved to use the phaeston on the destroyer because it turned a decent weapon into a really nice one. Why not just nerf the one or two OP weapons that made the detroyer rediculous instead of seriously reducing what made the class good for everyone?
