Another character with Sabotage and you don't even touch sabotage very long cooldown really?


We are looking at Sabotage for next week's changes. We appreciate any feedback from the community on that power and how it should change.

This is honestly the worst set of balance changes in a while. Asari gets massive buff, Quarian gets next to nothing, other broken characters get nothing. There is no logical method behind these changes. It's simply based on emotion and whoever screams the loudest. Really bad.


The Asari gets a buff because they can't fix her normally, so for the moment, she gets a more creative buff to compensate.  So until the next major MP DLC comes out and patches this stuff, she'll be a DoTing monster.

As for the Quarian, it'll probably be like the Vorcha Engineer, where Submission Net got buffed to Batarian levels on the next balance change.

And where are you getting this "emotion/who screams loudest" from?


There are other characters with broken powers that they've known about for longer, and they get nothing.  No "creative" balance changes.  Simply because of a huge thread with lots of people carrying on.

Great, another amazingly powerful Infiltrator.  While most of the new classes are ****, BioWare feels the need to continually make sure the Infiltrators are the most dominant class.


If you have feedback, please provide concrete examples.

And this is why you are doing it wrong.
This should be your QA responsibility !!


We have a very limited number of internal QA compared to the thousands of players who play our game. We like to listen to our community. I hope you're not saying that this is a bad idea?

I read somewhere that there were going to temporary buffs to the asari huntress to compensate for the bugs with her Tactical Cloak, but that the issue with not affecting weapon damage would be fixed with a patch later on.

Is that still true, or are you thinking of just leaving the Huntress as-is after today's buffs? I think it's nice to have a class that can do a lot of damage with DOT powers, but at the same time I think it's kind of antithetical to the idea of Tactical Cloak. It's not a very cool or interesting power if it only serves as the button you have to press before you use Dark Channel.


We are leaning towards leaving it as is since it does give her an interesting niche among the infiltrator kits.

 I'm actually happy with today's balance changes. Huntress remains a unique infiltrator. Quarian Marksman got an appropriate weapon buff. My only gripe is that the Vorcha Hunter buff was lackluster.


We are considering further Vorcha Hunter buffs.
