For my sake, give the N7 Valkyrie a try on the TGI. Sure, it's not god mode, but it's SUPER satisfying and efficient.

Actually, I prefer Phaeston on Turian soldier than Lancer.


RedJohn pls

honestly Lancer is the the best choice for a weapon for a TSol on platinum, especially U/U/P.


I don't even have Lancer, but... better than Claymore, Raider, Hurricane, Talon and Piranha?

Lancer thread.

1 page per hour.

The times, they are a changin'.

OT:

I just recently unlocked the Lancer II on PS3, which is about the same level I have it on Xbox, and I haven't really used it all that much.

I've managed to make good use of it a few times, but the characters most players would use it with are the kind of characters that I would usually arm with a pistol or SMG.

Claymore Turian Soldier is a waste but Lancer X is right up there with the rest of the guns you listed. Also add in BPP & Typhoon to that list as well.

For example I understand if you tell me that you like Lancer more than Typhoon because that's your opinion, but don't say it is better than Typhoon because that's not true.


Human Engineer/TGI/TSent/GE/SE/Paladin/SI (and many more) vs Geth, both weapons with disruptor ammo: Lancer >Typhoon

Anyway... RedMoron is just bored and just starts a thread 'A is better than B' which is not very smart to begin with


Why you say that Lancer is better than Typhoon on TGI? Typhoon has better damage output, can shot for way more time and benefits much better from thermal packs, the only issue there is if you get staggered, but that's totally player dependant and fixable with right hand advantage.

Same goes for Turian Sentinel, if you want to incendiary glitch Typhoon is better, if you want to mix with warp ammo typhoon is better as well. With GE Typhoon befefits even more from Hunter mode than Lancer does, knowing you can shot for more time more damage.

I mean, even with disruptor ammo against geth the only unit that would really become a problem is the Geth Drone for their sniping stunlock, but by default everyone rocket primes, so what I believe you meant is more situational, not general.

Also I don't understand why you call me moron, we haven't ever talked, but well, i guess you are the kind of people who can't have difference of opinions without falling into insults.

Because you can't even read:

I never said that, pls read before commenting otherwise people will continue to call you a 'youknowwhat'. I said the Lancer is better vs Geth. You can prime them quickly with disruptor ammo and then kill them with Overload+Tech Burst.

No, incendiary glitch is too slow. Geth have low Shields/Health, so weapon fire + overload + tech burst kills them faster than the incendiary DOT. Even the Prime goes down faster, because this combo will strip his shield very fast and the amount of armor he has is not huge.

Its the ugly kid that the hurricane and the ppr got one night after drinking too much booze. Still pretty decent, but nowhere near its parents in performance.

Purely because unlimited ammo offsets the worst part of Marksman (i.e., burning through every weapons ammo supply at a Harrier-like pace). Also of course MM activations resets the CD on the Lancer if you overheat it.

but I also generally run the TSol on plat with two weapons, if you catch my drift

I like it. Use it on my Cabal, seems to work pretty well. Shame I only have it at level 5, though.

Also, You Sun pls

Just to touch on this, does the Lancer with an extended mag even last the entire duration of marksman? Also the MM activation when you overhat it still requires the ammo to recharge, which means you have wasted a MM cooldown. Compare that benefit to activating it just before your typhoon is out of ammo. I would have actually thought the lancer had bad synergy with marksman.

I run my Turian soldier with Hurricane as the main weapon with the Eagle as a secondary for times when I do run out of ammo.

I would use Lancer on my Tsent, you know, if I didn't feel like taking +30% Power Damage, 90% AP Barrel, and an inherent 150% Armor Damage bonus

maybe if i get it to X someday i'll try it out

I don't think a Prime would die faster with tech burst than with Incendiary glitch. Also I don't think it is slow.

also they die faster with a weapon than Tech burst unless you are talking about single troopers.

And that's the thing, I also believe Lancer has a bad synergy with marksman unless like Lightswitch you carry 2 weapons. Lancer can run out of ammo too fast and you can't instant reload it with thermal packs.

The weapon can be very very useful on casters for its "unlimited" ammo feature but I don't see it very viable on pure weapon characters like TGI or Turian Soldier.

Lancer's okay - I have it at lvl IX. I tend to stick it on certain level 4 characters when I take 'em out (like the TSent and Cabal). I like to have a stability mod on it though (I suppose that it's more that I need to have it!).

It's nothing special though - it mostly just has the nostalgia factor from ME1.

My fave assault rifle is the Saber Image IPB. Even though I loved the Harrier when I first got it; I stopped liking it at lvl III. Valkyrie is better!

Completely outclassed by the Collector SMG... Both fill the same role (lightweight caster weapon/ammo applier) but the CSMG has better mods, slight weight advantage, an armor multiplier, less recoil, and much tighter accuracy. The only thing the Lancer has on the CSMG is that the CSMG uses 2 ammo per shot for the first 5-10 shots or whatever that is, and 25% more ammo.

Never been overly 'in-love' with the Lancer. To me it's an OK weapon to fall back on when i cant make a kit work with a better weapon.
But that is just my opinion of it.

My opinion is that I need to have a lancer in order to have an opinion on the lancer. So please give me a lancer.
