Prizes: Every like you get is yours to keep. Winner has most likes. No ceremony.

 

Rules:

1) Pick any existing kit with a power that's just "off." Create a "new" power with a very similar role or function to what you're replacing, but that makes more sense on the kit.  Do not replace it
with something that does not fit the same role.

 

Good example: Turian Soldier: replace concussive shot with "Launcher" which is a weapon-mounted grenade launcher. That uses concussive grenades. This would still allow the power to be used the same way, but also allow it to be used in combination with Marksman, possibly a worthwhile tradeoff for some.

Bad example: Novaguard: replace shockwave with "Death Vortex" which is just Annihalation Field with a bigger bonus to BEs. While this would undoubtedly be OP, it goes completly against the power you're replacing and is nothing more than a power fantasy. It breaks the rules of the game.

2) Be sure to explain what's "off" about the old power. It needs a legitimate excuse to be worth changing.

3) Be sure to cover what would be different about the new power, and why it fits better.

4) MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: Say something clever at the end about WHY you picked this exact thing. This is what will determine who likes your post, most likely, so make it count! Example in my entry below.




Ranylyn's Entry:

Kit: Krogan Warlord
Power Replaced: Electric Hammer
New Power: Fire Hammer

Why change the old power: It's rank 5 makes no sense. It's an electric hammer that applies either a fire or an ice effect? Fire, I can kind of get... but ice? It just makes more sense to make it fire by default!

New effect: It would still be the AOE hammer, but instead of a fire/ice effect at rank 5, it will get the choice between Damage over Time (basically the old fire effect) or "Sparks" which acts like "shrapnel" from Cluster/Inferno grenades; sparks fly out at random and apply the fire AOE (not the hammer damage) in a radius around where it lands, effectively increasing the range of the AOE. Again, it's the AOE hammer anyways.

Why I chose to give thi hulking brute more fire: So I can nickname it "The Incindijaeger." Say it slowly and think it over. And don't kill me for that terribad pun!

TGI Harrier build. Replace TC with Carrier Harrier Cloak. Gives extra bonus to harrier but 0 bonus with every other weapon. Called 'retired build in SIG never been beaten 1v1 me looooooooooooooooool'
Forgot to add why. Only b/c the best TGI build has been discovered & anything else you could do with it isn't as good and will never beat my score.

Concussive Shot is awesome, so on any kit with Carnage, I recommend replacing it with Concussive Shot.

Not sure if I'll come up with something, but I gave original post a like because I agree with your point about Electric Hammer suddenly applying Fire and Ice effects!

Inferno grenades -----> IncenDAIRY grenades

Only change would be enhancement in its damage when coupled with incendiary ammo.

When I have duration cloak: "I am the wind in the night and the shadow of death"

When a teammate has duration cloak: "To hell with your permanent agro dump, to hell with your low DPS, and to hell with you, you duration-cloaking piece of crap"

I get y'all. Point is, it's not really common to see an Infiltrator who actually stays cloaked.

I'll give this a shot, though I'll likely get flamed for it.

 

It's quite simple, really. Take Throw away from Fury and replace it with Warp. Not because of those extra ten percent damage to BEs, not for debuffing effect... nothing fancy, really.

 

But Fury is one of two characters who mastered AF and one of three characters who can do DC. That leads me to belive we're talking about quite an advanced powers. I won't go into details of how much I detest Fury in general, that's not the point here.

 

But we have here a character who can do, by the looks of it, two most advanced powers/spells/maneuvers... and all she has to detonate them is a simple Throw. Seriously?

 

I realize this would likely drop Fury's power considerably. I also realize I am very biased on the matter, because of the previously mentioned dislike for the character. But yeah, if somebody did that, I might actually detest her less. Wouldn't start liking her... that's just not possible for me. But I wouldn't actively loathe her anymore.

 

Ok, I would loathe her less :P

On the Volus Adept, I'd replace stasis with the "biotic mine".

 

Biotic mine is a crossover between recon mine and biotic sphere. It sticks to a surface and scans enemies to slow them down and weaken them, and primes up to two targets at a time for BE, but does no direct damage. It can be specced to detonate upon reapplication, triggering BEs on up to two targets primed by other biotics and doing moderate damage to unprimed targets in its scan area.

 

Why? Because this guy needs some extra umph to climb into the pantheon of biotic gods where, according to the biotic mastery banner, he rightfully belongs.

 

Also because this would make the Spinzone Bonus insanity duo challenge (VA and VM with shurikens, scimitar and avenger on glacier hazard vs collectors on platinum) seem a bit less insane.

I don't see what's wrong with her power set as it is. I'd much rather have Throw with its quick recharge (usually around 1.2s) than Warp (usually around 2.5-3s) since I play her fast. I'm sure you have your reasons, but I love her *exactly* how she is. 

 

Oh, and The Fury can also detonate BEs with Annihilation Field.
