No fix for the asari huntress, is she supposed to get no bonus gun damage from cloak for balance reasons or what?

I want to use her but won't in her current form.

Don't really get why the StimPack Damage was nerfed...I always thought the damage evolutions were simply too low to take them over shields anyways. At rank 4 at least. Toning down the shields was definitely in order.
Quite disappointed in regards to the Valkyrie 'buff', though. :/

So could someone from BioWare please let us know if the Asari Huntress' Tactical Cloak is or is not working as intended?

Didn't see anything on the update, so now I'm a bit concerned...  Posted Image


We are investigating this issue. She is supposed to have a weapon damage bonus from her cloak just like regular cloak, so this is a bug.


A weapon damage or THE same weapon damage as most infs currently have?

So, ummm, the Huntress cloak thing....

She's a biotic. She doesn't need increased weapon damage.

Doesn't the Turian have more than 1200 shields when Fitness is fully speced? How will the base stim pack work in that context? Hopefully it wouldn't decrease his shields.


No that isn't how they work.  Besides, 1200 is only the base value.  It's going to max out at 2400 I believe.

Riiiiiight. So nerfing the damage aspect of the stim pack, because that's what was causing the problem with the Ghost. Not the max 4000 shield evolution. >.< Cool so now when I equip the Havoc with a Wraith and then strike, pop a stim for max weapon damage, it does even less... awesome!

As far as nerfs go I don't suppose loosing 7% of the stims is horrible. I just don't really see it reigning in the level of damage on the Ghost, if that was the purpose. It still has cloak damage boosts and anyone with half decent gear will equip War fighter 5 for an extra 12% and grenades, the shield nerf is not really an issue for those that specced more for weapons damage. Where as from what I remember the Havoc doesn't have that same damage boost capability of the Ghost.

THANK YOU! It only took you guys a week to give a statement regarding the No1 topic here, but hey, better late than never.
Seriously, thanks for clearing that up.

He said they are investigating it and that it's a bug.  Read: probably not going to be fixed until the next patch.

I got an idea, how about NO further balance changes until some of the long outstanding bugs are addressed... Time better spent.

Hmm. Are creature health levels adjustable through weekly updates? If so, could you please tweak Seeker Swarm and Plague levels down a bit? If not, could you make them worth more exp? I hear collectors don't grant as much exp as other factions already.

Not the answer I would've preferred, and I'm sure not the one you'd prefer to give, but I understand you can't just handwave some things away. Thanks for the update.

Kind of a whopper of an Acolyte nerf. Would have rather seen 5% Acolyte nerf and 10% Valkyrie buff :D

Yay for Havoc Strike buff though!!

I love how Bioware continues to nerf something almost every week, yet refuses to fix what's actually WRONG with this game.

1. Latency issues.
     - "Corpse warping" (dying somewhere other than where you were shot down).
     - Powers going through enemies
     - Having to spam op packs
          - Op packs being consumed and dying anyway

2. Dying instantly when being revived (whether it's from being stagger locked or sync-killed.

3. The whole "X button does everything" feature. Why has there not been an option to rebind keys? The L3 and R3 buttons don't even do anything in MP.

4. "Waiting for other players." Enough said.

5. Inability to mute players.

6. Inability to kick players in-game.

7. Cover bug - occasionally going into cover glitches and immediately pops you back out of it.

8. Controller face buttons cease to work on occasion (sticks still function).

9. Massive screen shakes from grenades / powers, etc. Why is this even necessary?

10. "Magnetic" sticky targetting. If I try to turn to target another enemy while already targeting a different one, the reticle will stick to the first enemy as though being pulled toward it by a magnet.

11. Overload glitch on Geth Bombers.

12. Vanguards are STILL getting killed mid-charge even though this was supposedly fixed.

13 And finally, my favorite, the total system freeze. This has been happening more and more often lately. For no reason, the system will lock up, forcing people to hard reset their system.

So yes Bioware, please, by all means continue to make nerf after nerf to this game and pay no attention to how completely broken every other aspect of the game is. Obviously, there are more important things to fix.

Don't understand why they didn't simply half the damage of the Acolyte and doubled the damage bonus against shields and barriers.


We are not able to do that with live updates.


Any chance you can do that for the next DLC and undo the nerf soon after that?

Is the Quarian Marskman supposed to have less shields and health than the Engineer and Infiltrator?

So we finally get a response regarding the Huntress. Took much longer than it should have, but an offical response is appreciated nonetheless.

Anyway, I can't wait to take the Quarian Marksman out for a spin. I was expecting the Batarian Slasher or Volus Vanguard, so I'm really happy we got him instead.

The weapon nerfs/buffs seem relatively minor overall. The Acolyte wasn't nerfed into oblivion like a lot of people seemed to expected, and I already liked the Saber, so any buffs are appreciated.

Havoc Strike still seems pretty useless, and I don't think I'll ever spec into it unless it gets a significant boost. The stim pack nerf definitely hurts the Havoc a lot, which sucks since I've been using him a lot as a tank/heavy weapons platform lately.

So for weapons:
10% Acolyte nerf
7.5% Saber buff
5% Valkyrie buff

The Stimpack nerf seems pretty harsh compared to the havoc strike buff, tbh, but I'm not really bothered since I don't play the Havoc. I don't really care for the Ghost either, though I might take him to get comfortable in platinum soon.

I was looking forward to that Quarian, so that makes me happy.

6/10 for the balance changes biower.


The Havoc Strike buff is pretty damn signicant actually.  If only Cryo Blast primed cryo explosions like Snap Freeze.


So I haven't played the Havoc much at all, but is  Havoc Strike a spam power or is it pretty situational?

I mean on paper 20% more damage, 25% faster is pretty good but if you don't typically saturate that cooldown the 25% faster is not very important.
