Shall we discuss the roll of “support” classes?  In reality,

I don’t feel like that’s a fair term.  If you take a Volus and

compare the damage output to a GI, it is obvious

the result will be rather imbalanced.  Unfortunately,

to the random PUG, this basically empowers them with

a ridiculous excuse to not really contribute at all, being a

“Summers Eve” about it.  Lately, PUGs have seized the

day with power leeching (no shots fired).    Thoughts?  L2P?

If only I had a good console command to disconnect clients. But I have nothing to contribute to this thread.

Every kit is a support kit when the GI is around.

Also, can't be bothered to move 6 feet and pick up giant Shakespeare book, but here's an A7X song instead.

I like to offer my support by killing things. Quickly.

I agree, it's just sinful how they think that because they run around spamming shield boost that it gives them the right not to help actually kill the enemies in a platinum game.

Biotic god/ falcon punch volus> shield boost spamming scrubs

It gets even more ridiculous on bronze. Like really? Promoted my adepts today, because cheap ol´ me didn´t want to use a respec card. Played a bronze game. The Volus headlessly ran around, spamming SB. That´s of course, when he wasn´t dead. Which he was more often than not. What makes it even more ridiculous: Harrier!

Thou I agree with all of you, a well-played Volus is fine

art in motion.  “Support” players need not succumb any-

more to the idea that they don’t have to deal damage. As

lovely as it is to sit on your arse and collect a check,

and believe me, I feel that lazy and tempted sometimes,

more often than not, it’s a waste of lobby space.  It’s not a

temperate sunbathing spot for you to tan your shield booster.

Be patient, this will involve gügle and may take a while.

Rough assessment of support. The
winds of change came with Reckoning when they wanted to
do something different. In the 
shake up came classes like
the Volus, that little 
darling, those diminituve flower
buds rolling around, were meant to be a kind
of support medic. We shouldn't judge them based on how some PuGs
may play them badly.

And here I thought Shakespeare was dead,

Summer's too hot for my crotch.

Leash me, lash me

Hath anyone learned 

Too play yet?

Short but sweet these witty threads

A treat that flies over most heads

Date of release of ME:A to be decided. I guess we'll keep wasting away.

Sometime ago, I played “support” classes,

too.  I always scored well because of sweet,

hot Incendiary Ammo and, so ever elusive,

the trigger button.  Damage ain’t in the

eye of the beholder, it’s surprisingly in the eye

of the shooter, people.  *gasp* who knew??

Heaven knows why PUGs play like they’re on moon-

shines and other beverageses.  “Support”… pfft.

I basically am a leech on Silver right now on the PS3. I don't even have 1 single piece of gear after playing like 10 games. I don't like that feeling of I can't contribute more than I am..when I know I am capable of causing way more damage.

And what burns me up the most, and it happens

often, is when people play any kind of Enginner like it

is a “support” class.  Yesterday, a PUG actually said, in

his 1337est voice possible, “I’m here to strip shields.  It’s

Gold, and I don’t have the damage for anything more

complex, like killing.  Hurr durr.”  Grr… if I could, I would

shun him from all of society, for his scarce wits were

dimmed to the brightness of a black hole.  He was a GE!

And it is today that we lay to rest this game, beloved by

every gamer of commendable acuity.  Volus “support” may be

fair to claim for some, but today I found something atrocious

from the depths of Hades’ Xbox, a support GI.  it is perhaps

fair to debate PM as a power which helps the entire “team”

sometime or another, but to not spec TC???  This travesty

declines any semblance of sensibility.  PUGs… smmfh

By the Gods, there may be hope, a slight

chance of redemption!  A random PUG,

or so I think, actually listened to reason!

Nature’s off her game!  Puggie ended up

changing his build after receiving advice!

‘course there was whining, but the sad,

untrimmed foreskin of Puggery has hope!
