DrChcknwng suggested a game to me, so I hosted and we were lucky enough to find panda5onix online. I opened the last slot and Zig(zagzug) dropped in. We had two fun and extremely violent games. Chcknwng *may* have blown up certain team members with A-bombs during the first game....
 
Interestingly, the games were (almost - sorry Chcknwng!) lag free, despite the team members each being on a separate continent.

Hi Marksmad, fun games. It was nice running into you, panda and chicknwing. ME3 MP lately seems to be made up completely of, um, resident BSNers or very new players... It does keep things interesting
Good games.

Good to hear you had a lot of fun. The Black Widow is one of my go-to kits, and I usually do well with it. From a scoring stand-point, I was doing fine; however, I dropped waaaaay too much for my taste. I clearly had the proverbial blinders on. But it was crazy fun.

Next time, me and FasterThanFTL should both use Spitfire AIUs. Spectate that! It's well worth it.

 

You dropped less than I did and the KroLord pug dropped even more than I did. I wasn't complaining about anyone else having a little lie down.

 

Also, complete team of Spitfire AIUs in pearlescent pink please. She does her best when colors are correctly coordinated.

 

Reported.

 

Dammit. She turned my own weapons against me. Chcknwng Sabotage OP Biovar pls nerf.

 

But full passives and CMIV is basement level.  I admit that Stronghold Package is my crutch with many classes.  Hunter mode gives you speed, damage and vision so you are less likely to need your shields.  

 

Plus you can you know................ Turn it off, if you reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly need to have more shields.

 

I didn't use HM early on (in my loooooooooooooong Bronze career), not so much because of the shields mostly due to being unable to see the objective marker for half the wave

 

Seriously Sabre, yeah, you're right. But I'm already having to L2P this game the second time round and I really find that I still lack the skill to get any benefit out of Hunter Mode. I'm hoping that there will come a time when that's different but it's not here yet. Playing with classy players like you and your notorious partner in crime is clearly helping though.

Fun running into you too. I didn't spot that you were a BSNer at first but would be happy to have you in my lobby anytime

[BioticPulse]

Had the pleasure of pugging into games with Foxever, DTR PRO and Pathetisad over the last cpl of days.

GGs :-)

**** yeah! Please, page FasterThanFTL. He needs to be in on this. A full team of Spitfire AIUs is like my wet dream. You don't know just how much fun it is. I left the build in the AIU thread. Go check it out. It's quite an experience!

I played with that ClydeInTheShell guy yesterday.  He was pretty good.  Using Javelin X on Gold/Giant with a Quarian Infiltrator.  We facerolled.  Was fun.  I was tanking it up with my Krogan Warlord whenever there is Geth around it's a good ole' bashy bashy time.  GG.

Wondered if you were a forumite. That game went super smooth, and your Hammerlord did serious work against those Primes! Nice to play with you

Hadn't played in months.  Just picked it up again recently.  Thanks!

Actually after looking over this I went back and had a look at my build and changed it.  The old one was more suited to my old style of play where I used a Sniper with him.

 

New one

 

Much better results in tonight match.  Don't need RoF or Accuracy with GPR and I'm crap at Headshots anyway.

This I don't understand. Whether your ROF is 80, 800 or 8000, 15% ROF boost increases your burst DPS by 15% - and it's multiplicative with all other damage bonuses. In fact, GPR benefits from it more than most weapons because it has such high uptime.

He´s using GPR mostly to prime targets for fire explosions if I recall correctly. Outside of big bosses, you can pretty much spam overload to get them regularly. I would maybe suggest taking Lancer if he´s not going for headshots but he´s in love with GPR

Yeah, this is one of the best things about the GPR - that and the headshot possibilities. The fire explosions work on most of the big bosses too, just don't take them out so quickly. The effect is very visible on a Atlas if you're watching when it's overloaded.

All the more reason to invest in weapon damage instead of power damage in HM and passives (power damage does nothing for explosions, right). Unless one is to rely on the turret/flamer as the primary source of damage and not just another primer, but somehow I don't see that happening.

I always take the RoF bonus so this was a difficult step to take.  

 

However as Aeti says I mainly use the GPR to apply Fire Bullets with extreme prejudice and I need to speed up the shield stripping with Overload so cooldown and strength becomes more important to me.

I can see that viewpoint, but I'm still wondering why you then have only 5 ranks in Overload... With some modifications you have the same weapon DPS, faster and more powerful Overload (one-shots Gold Phantom's barriers and Hunter's shields) and more powerful fire explosions.

Well, not *exactly*... I mean, a RoF bonus isn't going to do much good to a Reegar, for example

... But yeah, I'm totally just nitpicking cause I'm bored XD

No, not for explosions, that´s correct. I would think he just wants the buff for overload itself.

[Ashevajak]

Just had a smooth couple of games with Computron.  By which I mean explosions everywhere, his score about 70k more than mine, and my score somewhere north of 100k, and the pugs just sort of milling around and watching.  QME and QFI too strong, Biovar plz nerf.

I did think about that build as well but I'm trying to balance things.  As you pointed out I already took a 15% weapon damage hit, that would lose me another 15% as well.  The trade off may well be worth it but.......... If I went that route I may as well use another weapon and I don't want to.

 

So far I'm happy with the results since changing, will I change again?  Maybe at some point.

 

I could have both, but I don't play enough these days to go no fitness without a CM and that would cost me a slot for a Power Amp

 

Or I spend time checking out the carpet.  

 

Speaking of which I can't help but notice marksmad seems to be coming to terms with the idea of verticality these days   

 

Much improved

Alright, here's another version that's even closer to the one you provided. My build has more powerful Overload (and FEs) with the same cooldown and better weapon damage output (slightly lower damage per shot more than compensated for by better ROF) even against armor - no downsides.

 

Of course you're perfectly free to play in whatever way you want. Just giving ideas, here.

Damn you!  I can't think of a good reason not to use this one   Ticks all the right boxes

I'm sure these are nothing but the usual kind of inaccurate rumors and misinformation commonly bandied about on BSN.

 

Besides, I'd get dizzy if I were upright for any length of time.  Mmmmm, cold floor.  

 

 

That's good to hear!

 

And it's news to me

Hi Marksmad, fun games. It was nice running into you, panda and chicknwing. ME3 MP lately seems to be made up completely of, um, resident BSNers or very new players... It does keep things interesting
Good games.

I apologize for the screenshakes from CS and (incidentally) killing you with a pos abom...For some reason my mic was really quiet so I didn't participate in the conversation.
