pretty sure she also gets weapon damage

 

Her cloak is different than the other infiltrators; it only affects power damage and melee.

 

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.    ...

 

Well, I suppose she could come with a "Platinum Only' clause...

Standard gear on my Human Soldier CS/Cryo spammer, Falcon spewing build.  I use the 2 module if hosting, and the 3 module if off-host.  The cooldown times synergize perfectly with the fire rate of the Falcon.

It's fun on a Havoc. Full recharge speed based, you can get the Havoc Strike cooldown down to 2 seconds, which basically means you can be havoc striking 100% of the time, making you very nearly invulnerable. Sure, your DPS is crap, but who cares when all you're doing is blasting towards your enemies on a pillar of flame and rage?

[Black_Mage]

Never.  The only armor equipment I use are Cyclonic and Adrenaline with the occasional Power Amp.  There are no circumstances under which Power Efficiency could be useful and I use heavy weapons like the Crusader on power kits all the time.

Pretty sure that anytime you say "pretty sure", you actually didn't take half a step to ensure that what you're about to say is "pretty sure".

*sigh*  Man, how much more awesome would the Huntress be if she had a normal cloak! Priming enemies and shooting them with Warp ammo with cloaked weapon damage bonuses?!?

 

Yes please!

 

Not sure if you were around at the time, but people used to dream about how brokenly OP she would be way before her release. BSN was full of threads about how to play her before she even saw the light. Lol, bsn at its finest XD

no circumstances? guess you never play collector adept or if you do you play him as a weapons character

was just saying that because i have seen people say that on the forum in the past. p.s ofc i meant power and weapon not just weapon, people have said its gliched to get both in the past

The Collector Adept gets the Collector SMG (extended mag + power magnifier) with AP IV and Power amp IV for a power build and PPR/Claymore/Crusader etc + Warp ammo and Cyclonic for the weapon build.  The power build has a 6.96 seconds CD on Dark Sphere and power efficiency will not make any meaningful difference.

I don't need it.

I sort of was but I missed out on far more things than I didn't, such as this gem of a topic wherein the Huntress' cloak is discovered as bugged (only working with power/melee instead of weapons) and what follows is the general "Bioware can't release anything that isn't bugged, loldevs, skeleton support crew, etc."

 

It's a long topic (I didn't read it all, anyway), but I found it quite humorous how "bad" people thought the Huntress was at launch - although to be fair, this was before her Power Damage/Cloak buffs, obviously.

 

I did find out some info I didn't know, though: apparently the cloak was originally supposed to work with weapons too, and either Bioware couldn't fix it or decided that she'd be too powerful with a regular cloak? Thus the power damage buffs.

 

Fun stuff!

I don't think it's funny or odd that people considered the Huntress weak, because if you rely on cloaked DC=>Warp BEs, you're going to have trouble detonating anything with all the quick kills and tech overrides your teammates can make. The reality is that she's a superb kit, but one of her most obvious strengths on paper is mostly a non-factor.

Try acolyte plus csmg instead for 200 percent cool down, power amp swaps in for more cs and nade damage.

I was thinking more priming targets (warp) + warp ammo (Claymore, Piranha, etc.) while being able to Channel/Cloak but yes there already were other classes that could do that (minus the cloak) and do it better.

I definitely see where people were coming from - perhaps "interesting" is a better word than "humorous" - although I will say there are plenty of funny posts in that topic

I actually used one once, on my alt- true story.

mine is 6.86 and it does make a difference

[Brannigans 1ove]

I use them on loads of kits, mostly adepts, and engineers where I'm looking for explosions or to spam a certain power (stasis on the AA, dark sphere on the ACA).  I think I might put it on vanguards too, but I don't tend to play them very often.

[Brannigans 1ove]

This is how I build mine, getting 6.20 on DS.

Really? It affects 200% cooldown setups? I thought it didn't as it only affected the weight and weight doesn't go over 200%...

250% is the limit but the scale is not linear so diminishing returns kick in.

[Krazy_Kirby]

im talking base speed which means 6.86. recharge at rank 5 and power/weapon weight at 4 in passives gives 6.86

[MaxCrushmore]

Great on the HA, HS, HE, HV, KA, KV

 

Especially like on the HA, you can string together almightly souped up BEs non stop. Take a lightweight (+%200) weapon, have all 6's in your 3 powers (with the faster CD evos in Shockwave and Singularity), and spam away. You will score really well with this set up.

 

I use them on the KV instead of Cyclonics for faster BC's, ergo faster shield recovery

[GruntKitterhand]

Yeah, but yours is a maxed build, right? I'm pretty sure the cooldown doesn't make as much difference as that. 

 

OT Human Adept only for me.
