I would swap my acolyte for my old carnifex.. It seemed so much better before...

So this thread's really about GI and Destroyer players whining that Adepts are overpowered, isn't it?
<_<

That's basically what it comes down to.

In every game where there are both powers and weapons, there will be faction of players who get very upset if powers classes are even on-par with weapons classes.

So we get this sort of thread...

Lots of speculation here and most of it wrong. You must have missed the orginal post.

it may not have been what you intended, but thats pretty much what this thread turned into, people claiming the acolyte is too strong against shields, when thats exactly what the weapon was intended to do. 

Don't like the gun? hell, don't use it just like you say you don't. But don't get mad when someone rightfuly points out in your guide for the geth trooper that if you have an acolyte available, it can be used to instead of the shield/barrier evo.

With 4 GI using only the acolyte, proxy mines and incendiary rounds you will clear Platinum on every map and against any enemy in 18-22 minutes without using any rockets. That is better than most weapons in this game.

You're saying this team can't do the same with Hurricane, PPR, Harrier, Piranha, Reegar, Raider, Claymore, Wraith, Talon, Scorpion, Indra, Javelin, GPS, Graal, etc?  Incendiary ammo and skilled players and GIs make a whole bevy of weapons in this game good.

As for the other weapons, well Bioware seems to love giving us gimped junk that we have to fill our manifests with.

No, I never said that.

This thread is really thought provoking. Which is why it is now at 14 pages.

I have called it a pocket reegar countless times hehe. Even in a video of mine. Dude neat trick: on a conc shot soldier, the conc shot and acolyte shot will sync together perfectly so you can fire a double shot everh time u shoot acolyte. Also you can fire a power while shooting eith the acolyte so ot makes it even more fluid.

Acolyte owns phantoms as is and with this trick they are free laughs. Things will occasionally go flying too

To clarify, this was meant as a "haha, you've asked for it and you might've underestimated how good the gun would be without the charge."

The Acolyte is a godsend for caster kits. Slap it on a Human Adept and you get flying enemies with Singularity all over in Platinum. Slap it on a Slayer and you get a charging machine that kill almost everyting with 1 BC. That's the only gun that can justify using Pull at all...

Bear in mind that all that awesomeness has some drawbacks. It's rate of fire is atrocious, it's recharge time is longer than most gun, the clip is very small, half the time the projectile doesn't go straight and miss the damn enemy before bouncing 4 times to finally get it with the AOE. You don't use it to get bosses down cause it's has atrocious DPS against armor.

I'm absolutely against any nerf on this gun, it fills a much needed niche. In fact, if the dev wants people to use something else they just have to add an Asari SMG or AR that does approximately the same DPS to shield/barrier and you'll see everyone flee from the Acolyte. There ya go, I solved your problem without any nerf!
