Yup! With an Acolyte, I get a +200% recharge speed, With Claymore, it only gives +11%. Tac cloak for huntress gives over 100% more power damage on top of my passive 45% bonus... Also, my tac cloak only lasts about 5 seconds, so in order to make use of the insane power of my detonations with any amount of efficiency, I need to be able to send out BOTH my dark channel AND my warp within that time, allowing me to destroy Praetorians, Scions, Banshees, Brutes, and Ravegers fast enough to where my team doesn't get overwhelmed in later waves... It DOES mean I sacrifice my ability to kill weaker enemies like marauders, geth hunters, and centurions, but when the vast majority of the teammates I get are set to deal with those efficiently, it is not usually much of a problem, PLUS, late waves in gold give VERY few small enemies. It takes me about the same amount of time to kill a ravager as it does to kill a geth hunter.

 

Aaaaaaaah right, now that I'm back home and I can see the name chronology I get it - you're the new guy, aren't you?

Well... You'll learn. In time, don't worry ;)

 

If you are willing to hear and accept advices, then I'd gladly give you some, and I'm sure lots of people around here would be willing to do the same.

With Tactical Cloak, if you use a power or fire your gun the amount of cooldown you get is based on how much of the cloak's duration you used.

 

So you could take the Claymore and do cloak -> power -> fire immediately and only get 3 seconds of cooldown(you can't ever have less than 3 seconds). Then in your next cloak fire the detonator for the biotic boom.

 

What this would also do is allow for you to take Power Damage at rank 6 Tactical Cloak to make DC/Warp deal 40% more damage, and you don't sacrifice your ability to kill the mooks.

 

Personally I use the Wraith, but then I just like the weapon over the Claymore. Both of them work really well.

Ok, wraith is manageable, though I've always used the disciple if I wanted to survive trash... what is worth more, another 40% damage on my dark channel, but not obliterating ravagers and their swarmers with the detonations, or being able to quickly self prime and detonate

The speed and power of your detonations is 0% related to your loadout and its weight, provided you use powers as soon as you cloak.

You'll still get biotic booms off pretty quickly with what I said, and you'll be able to use your gun a lot more which if you're using something like the Wraith it'll actually hurt Ravagers a lot more than an Acolyte or Disciple(which is probably the worst rare/ultra-rate shotgun). The only thing to remember is to use your power as fast as possible after cloaking, because the cooldown is based on what % of the duration you used.

 

Also, I wouldn't underestimate the damage of Dark Channel against barriers and armour with evolution 6B. With TC, it can do pretty solid damage all by itself, plus it jumps to nearby targets on death. When you cast Dark Channel with TC up, it keeps the damage bonus even after TC wears off.

 

Alternatively just use the Talon. It has great weight, hits like a truck, gets a bonus against shields/barriers, and has access to the power amp mod for even more power damage.

 

On a side note, bringing some kind of penetration on your gun is not a bad idea either. If you target the Ravager's sacs then you can end up hitting it multiple times with same bullet, and deal bonus damage on breaking the sac.

 

Many of the tougher enemies in the game have similar bugs that allow you to hit them multiple times.

What weapon would you advise for an asari huntress set for high power damage while cloaked.... I down phantoms and dragoons really fast.... banshees go down with just a couple of volleys

 

 

I'll assume you're asking a serious not sarcastic question.  There are relatively few kits like the Huntress or Fury.  And even on those, you should bring a strong weapon like the hurricane, wraith, CSMG, talon, etc with warp ammo that will help you take down all enemies faster -- not just the ones that are most susceptible to darker channel's damage.

What is CSMG? I just tried wraith, and I feel slowed down more than I expected.... unfortunately, RNG is annoying as hell and therefore do not have the hurricane and yet I have 3 lancers and 2 suppressors....

Am I the only person in the forums that is almost ENTIRELY power dependent and almost never actually use my weapons..... And am I the only person that doesn't think reload canceling is a gift from the goddess?

 

Let me answer your question with a question.

 

Are you the dumb?

Saw that. It's more pedestrian, routine, less purely minimalist in outlook, less biting and pointlessly hurtful than when she really puts her psychic sweat into her work, as here. This post shows how far she's developed her talent since her blue period.

One thing to remember, when I started on these forums a week or two ago, I didn't even have my huntress yet... Already, I have grown soooo used to this character hitting like the thessian express that it is, that it feels really weird watching people take soo long to kill something like a banshee or a praetorian.... The only reason I don't do too well sometimes is that I set up this character to be extremely specialized, and therefore sacrificing some of my versatility for raw power against bosses specifically... Because of the distinct rarity of non-heavy enemies, I actually do BETTER on gold and platinum than I do on bronze and silver. The other unfortunate downside of being set to be a tank destroyer is that the vast majority of my deaths are to marauders, cannibals, centurions, hunters and bombers, (annnnd the occasional shieldgate breaking banshee warp DOT that eliminates a single bar of health....)

I would bet that the majority of player deaths are caused by the mid tier enemies like mauraders, captains, and hunters.  Phantoms are probably the only 'boss' that kills as efficiently.
