 Week 19: Retake Omega Chronicles 2 (Insanity)
My first ever 'legit' game with the talon merc (I did a few bronze solo waves right when I unlocked him). He is sooo boring to play, even more than the volus merc. I don't know if cain mines would change that impression but right now, he is my least favorite kit in the entire game...

Time is nothing great but for my first game with this guy, I'd take it.
The relation of the theme to 'goddamn' Zaeed and lancer were driving me to do this.

And HoF updated

What's you're build like bgsam? It's all about melee with the talon merc, especially without trip mines.

I probably won't attempt insanity for this weeks one until I restock my reset cards. I used my only one respecing my sentinel for the insanity version of cat 6 part 2.

 ^ This is the build I was using. I have never used him before, so I randomly put some points lol. The biggest issue I had was that his AP arrows took only 2 bars of armor from brutes. I expected more..atleast 3 or 4. And concussive arrows are a joke. Disruptor ammo was getting rid of barriers faster than concussive arrows and the arrows are supposed to be effective vs. barriers. And out of the 6 arrows I shot, only 2 or 3 hit most of the time, which is annoying. It could be because I was doing it wrong.
May be hydraulic joints, omni blade would have helped boost the melee, but I need piercing mod on lancer. 

On a diff. note, engineers have always been my fav class from ME1 to ME3 (may be becuase I am in the engineering profession lol). I am extremely disappointed with the variety in engineers BW gave us, in general. Lots of underwhelming ones as opposed to the other classes, where atleast 2-3 could compete for the overall top 10 kits. And the talon merc. doesn't even feel like an engineer. <_<

By the way, Now I am become death (hardcore) video is up.

Yeah that is similar to how I spec him. I'll often use melee boosts for equipment and as you mentioned, omni blade for the added melee damage, but otherwise, he was pretty well spec'd for his omni bow.

He's a difficult character to get used to, especially without the trip mines. I think many will argue that, with trip mines, he can be quite OP actually. Give the hardcore one a shot with grenade capacity and you'll see what I mean. You can prob just camp out somewhere spamming trip mines and using the omni bow. I think that's how the current record console quickest platinum run was done

I agree though, it doesn't feel very engineer-like. Unless you consider the omnibow as the creation of an engineer merc stranded on rugged Omega. It's almost like the environment forced a twisted, more aggressive form of engineer.

I need to play him more and get used to him. Then I will have more reasons to hate him lol.
I will give hardcore a try later but I have a question...how to deal with phantoms?
Don't they activate their lolbubble while using arrows and mines? I am a total noob when it comes to the talon merc.

To me, GE, HE and SE feel like true 'engineers'. MQE and demolisher, while powerful are simply grenadespammers. I make the TSE, VHE work with the venom. With the trip mines, talon merc would be another grenadespammer. BW has destroyed my fav. class in MP.

Origin's Twitch feature is pretty sweet, I'm thinking of live streaming a couple of these solos.

@bgsam: You could just camp in one spot and let the mines do the work for you. Boring, but effective.

I actually forgot about that one. Pretty sweet idea, I'd follow.


Also, there's a new Mordus Insanity record now.

Congrats kaxas! HoF added with a new record for Mordus Insanity

@Hendrix: Yeah I checked out part of your game as the destroyer. Twitch is pretty cool. I'll watch if I'm free!

[JewelsWinnfield]

Nice job kaxas! Why don't you give the hardcore challenge a try? You could probably go even faster.

Frankly, I tried, but I couldn't get better times than on some Insanity runs.

You sure that wasn't because of RNG/objectives and other random factors? Sure, the Engineer is great, but you can't argue with TC + Proxy Mine (especially when dealing with Atlases). Or maybe I'm just underestimating Incinerate + Decoy? Anyway I'm looking forward to the vid.

At last! I will try tommorrow something nice in silver! Thanks buddy!

[DHKany]

FFS finally done



After a near uninstall-rage worthy wave 11 death I did it.

Also tried insanity.....yeah, f that lol

[TheNightSlasher]

@Kany: How did you deal with lolphantoms? I need some help with the talon merc. My guess is that they activate their lolbubbles while using omnibow and mines...How to negate this? Just use weapon?

Hybrid between camping behind a wall, bow spam and caine mine spam. 
surprisingly enough didnt have a single power bubble activiate from caines.

when a phantom runs into your mines, she can't activate the bubble, because she is dead
