Well done, correct, would you like a gold star?

We were never arguing that the ability varies between kits (read out posts; never once do we implicitly or explicitly state this) yet you still read into the post wrong.

For the same number of points invested in tactical scan, an infiltrator gains much more damage as a result.

This was the argument all along. You were just incapable of seeing this.


Lies and BS. You implied it implicitly all over the place (edit: and Feneckus has stated it explicitly), as evidenced by all the people whom you confused and were therefore asking questions about it.

It's not our fault you're so pathetic at using the English language to effectively communicate what goes on in that garbled brain of yours.

No, it isn't like that at all. That's a terrible analogy. Overload is actually stronger when cast from cloak. Tac Scan is not.


The point of a debuff is to do extra damage to a target.

Since an MQI does more extra damage when casting Tac Scan than an MQE, Tac Scan is actually a better power on the MQI. What's so hard to understand ?


What they are trying to say is that tac scan does not become a better debuffer on the infiltrator, its the same debuffer. They are ignoring the fact that the infil does more damage. I.e. a non-claok tac scan does a debuff of x percent, and a cloaked tac scan does the same debuff of x percent.

Uhh..maybe you should read Feneckus latest post...he is CLEARLY stating that is DOES in fact increase the debuff

Not really.

Take a team of say, Asari Vanguard, Human Soldier, Batarian Sentinel and MQE.

Cast Tac Scan and see how much extra damage the entire team does because of it (ie, how effective Tac Scan was)

Now switch the MQE for an MQI. Tac Scan will cause the entire team to do more extra damage, ie Tac Scan was a better debuffer, ie MQI's Tac Scan > MQE's Tac Scan.



please read Annomander...

I think what Feneckus is saying is that you "get more bang for your buck" on tac scan with infiltrators. Not that cloak boosts tac scan itself, but that the damage bonuses make it more whorthwile to spec into

Are you capable of having a respectful conversation without constant belittling?

If you and your cuddle buddy weren't contradicting each other directly, I might be able to take this seriously. As things stand, the French never were much good with learning other languages.

By the way, who is big spoon, you or Annomander?

I still believe this to be FALSE

I often see people complain about Kroguards or TGIs being used as crutch classes for noobs. What's the problem if someone wants to play a crutch character or weapon?


I only see it as questionable if that is the only character said player uses. They might really enjoy using that character, then again, they might not know how to play the game otherwise (and isn't that a tad problematic?). The game gives you so many characters to use and I find it bafffling that some people don't try other characters to switch things up. No one should have to stick with the TGI to get through a platinum match and the game gets very old when a teammate doesn't try something different which in turn affects the other players' experience.

(And like someone said earlier, I get a bit annoyed at TGI's hogging grenades so that they can continue to play recklessly)

It is not a better debuff per se. It's the same power.

However, since it's a multiplicative debuff, it will buff not only your weapon/power damage but it will also buff Tactical Cloak's damage bonus, so it does actually debuff more on the MQI. You will do more extra damage with Arc Grenades and weapons. The debuff will be more effective. So it is a better power on the MQI. Take a look at Anno's maths. It's not the exact numbers but the logic is there. Send a PM to Peddro or something if you don't believe us.

Stupid question but do targets highlighted with area scan take more damage for the brief time it is active?

These two statements are contradictory. It is easy to see that tactical cloak and tac scan have better synergy so the infiltrator can take better advantage of tac cloak. Everyone gets that. It is the statement that the rest of the teammates will get a better debuff too that is causing the confusion here.

Not on the engineer you can only achieve when casting it from cloak. :D (Not true)

The bolded was my original point and it took multiple pages for you to admit that but im glad we have come to an agreement on this issue.

I didn't say the rest of the team. I said the ENTIRE team. Meaning YOU + your teammates. Your teammates will get the same debuff. However, since you get more out of the debuff as a MQI, it is a better debuff for the entire team, since you're part of it.

Nothing says 'elitist' quite like miserably failing at communicating an idea, and then yelling at everyone and calling them stupid because they can't understand your pidgin speak.

You're all elitists and should be thrown out of an airlock!


Bechter has the right idea. Okay, not all of you are elitists (it's probably like 10 people who actually care), but the point stands. These super kits are just another tool in the over all box of multiplayer. If people use them to be better, so what? It doesn't cheapen my game, I still have fun. 

Also, as numerous people have pointed out, if the new guys using TGIs and Kroguards get me money faster, it seems enormously hypocritical for me to complain at their tactics while using the money they helped earn to fill out my manifest.

That's just my opinion though, no real weight to it.

Yes that is true. You did say entire team and that would include the player that used tac scan. The rest the team wouldn't factor into the thatl I'm not sure you included them. Certainly you can see how this could be interpreted differently.

It's downright misleading is what it is.

Either that or he misunderstood the game mechanic when he wrote that but doesn't have the balls to admit it.

Please explian the extra benefits (Debuff Specefic) my teammates get from tac scan whether i cast it from the MQE, MQI (Uncloaked), or MQI (Cloaked)?

I be waiting here to be yelled at and submit to your logic. :unsure:

Well it is certainly ambiguous. The "entire team" could mean every individual player on the team is doing more damage or as a group they do more damage. If he meant the latter he isn't wrong just not clear.

What If I spec out of Cloak because I am a disciple of Stardusk and want to make a guide about cloakless infiltrators?
