If the Typhoon is really so good, why does it feel so underwhelming?

Typhoon you can instantly reload, PPR you have to wait.

Typhoon is epic and manly and awesome, PPR is a Fisher Price toy.

Typhoon has a smaller ramp up time than the PPR.

Typhoon has no range limit.


I'd still like to see Biower buff the Typhoon though. Especially since they nerfed the Destroyer.

Says the person whom I've never seen use the claymore.

Oh, you'll take the EAGLE on your QME, with a harrier for "back-up" but I've never seen you claymore anything.

:lol:


I've just cleared up some space on my hard disk to make a claymore vid :whistle:

You spoke too soon Annomander. But I'm terribad with the Claymoar anyway.


I'm getting a NEW 500gb hard drive, and a new graphics card!

SO perhaps I can actually record at 1080 without dropping below 30 fps.... after I've replaced my Ghetto-2000 model graphics card...

I'm also working on a melee platinum solo versus collectors.

You can keep your headshots, real men headbutt the possessed praetorian to death!

Your move Hoxtatron! :lol:

"We lost a high value location - no time for aerial bombardment..."

Why would we be even contemplating blowing the sh*t out of a high value location?

It makes no sense....

:huh:

If you had the Typhoon before its first nerf, you know how awesome it was to absolutely shred bosses with.

Even at X with full equipment it isn't the same anymore. I still use it on my TSol and Geth Trooper and it's good, but not amazing. I'd love to see that damage multiplier buff so it can be like it was. It's heavy, it has a ramp up, it's kind of inaccurate, and the Harrier and PPR are both better, so why not just increase its damage so it can be the boss-killer weapon it was?

It scales up very well on weapons platforms compared to other good guns (or even bad ones)

i.e. Harrier > Typhoon

but TSo Typhoon > TSo Harrier

Am I right in thinking, that the is only UR weapon that has ever been nerfed in a meaningful way is the Typhoon?

I wouldn't call the harrier's weight increase a nerf, and the paladin's clip size reduction was compensated by by buffing its damage and reducing its weight...

Here's the URs that were buffed:
-CSMG (damage)
-Paladin (damage and weight)
-Talon (weight)
-Saber (damage)
-PPR (damage)
-Black widow (damage)
-Javelin (damage)
-Indra (damage)
-Wraith (damage)
-Scorpion ???

The typhoon is the only UR that was nerfed.... a primary example of bioware nerfing something based on 1 class making it too poweful.

Typhoon is good, its worthy of UR, but it doesn't perform that much better than the harrier does for how much it weighs, particularly considering the ramp up mechanic.

It sure feels good and fun on Destroyer !

PPR maybe a better damage dealer and more stable... but seriously being able to keep shooting without worrying about cool down makes huge difference in play.

I like it on the human soldier utilizing soft cover (hard cover to get more accuracy and things aren't particularly targeting me).

I tolerated the Typhoon before the first nerf to it, but now... meh. If I wanted to just stand there and pew-pew things I would play another game, or just use the Harrier and get it done quicker.

It's pretty decent, but certainly not overpowered. A small buff isn't going to hurt it.

Easy, strategic value of assets are too great to fall into enemy hands i.e. Scorched earth policy - better off destroyed than enemy getting their hands on it.

The consensus (at least, that I've seen) is that the Typhoon is a terribad weapon. Yet the higher-level players such as Uh Cold and Lord_Sirian seem to believe it's one of the most amazing weapons in the game.

My question is... why? If it's really so good, what am I (and many others) doing wrong? Why don't we see what you see? How do I use this thing so that it's better than most other guns? How do I use it so that I wouldn't rather just use the superior-damaging and less mule-kicking PPR? I don't get why anyone would ever use this gun, which is why I'm so confused about why the high-tier players claim it's so good!

(Mine is only at Level 2, though. Is that the only real issue with the gun, that it's not so good at low levels?)

ONLY use it with stability mod and mag size upgrade. With AP rounds.
It's my most used AR. I hate the harriar and the idea of hugging ammo boxes, especially I mostly run platinum.

classes that it's great on are destroyer, turian ghost. Good accuracy and damage from these 2 classes. Not turian soldier he lacks both the damage output and stun immunity to use it effectively.

I use my most used AR in only 2 classes. Harriar only on demolishers, saber sometimes if I feel like sniping with the TI.

the Tsoldier is a wrecking ball with the typhoon. He has that amazing 37.5(or something)% damage passive. proxy mine debuff + marksman melts bosses. conc shot followed up by a burst will kill most mooks

PPR is protheans' ultimate weapon of destruction , primitive like you can never understand

The gun is no use on Platinum or Gold especially if you're playing against Cerberus or Collectors. Most of their units will dodge and shieldgate you before its even fully revved up. Even on soldier classes its pretty underwhelming when compared to Harrier/PPR/Saber


What?

It's my fav AR for platinum, kicks like a mule with a Turian Soldier, Turian Sentinel or Destroyer.as a matter of fact it's perfect against cerberus or collectors and IMO is a much better choice than a Harrier ( the best AR by far, but the ammo limits acan be a problem on platinum )

The real problem with this gun is that due to the weight it works only with those classes, but trust me on this, it's a beast
