Was wondering if I was to use overload while TC is up. Do I still get the 20% bonus to AR damage from 6b?

[Excella Gionne]

Yes, Anything that is thrown at the enemy while tact. cloak's effect is still up receives the damage buff. I think TC's effect lasts for 1.5 seconds after you come out of cloak.

Ok so. Overload gets a damage buff, and I still have the 20% bonus damage from 6b perk for 10 sec?

6b's damage buff applies right when you activate TC, and the buff for assault rifles last for the amount of time said on the power rank(I think it's 10 or 20 seconds). However, it will no longer receive TC's damage buff once you're uncloaked, but it will continue to have the damage buff provided by 6b for assault rifles for the next few seconds. Your overload will get the damage buff if used while cloaked. Anything that is fired when cloaked will receive the damage buff of tact. cloak until you're completely uncloaked.

Ok. Thx for the help.

or..if you MUST infiltrator...you can always just use the GI!

[q5tyhj]

The answer to any question involving the TGI is "NO".

 

Unless, of course, the question is "should I respec my TGI for Venom/melee build?"

Sometimes, you just want to use a crutch char. Because Pug life is unfair and not enough. Because AIU/Kroguard with Reegar makes you sick. Sometimes... sometimes you grab a TGI, lancer /Acolyte, no overload, AP ammo... and watch the world die around you, quietly, precisly.

Sometimes, you need to soothe your soul with an easy day.

 

Or you may use a fat turian soldier and top the scoreboard like a baws.

If you're using a saber (top choice imo) then the couple shots you get with the first cloak bonus is too powerful to waste if vs armor or health. Assuming headshots because saber.

Wow, that was fast to take my new ME3mp related comic off. And just goes to prove once again that they have no idea what ME3mp is or if it's even a videogame. Not my loss. Others who missed what once was due to folks that shouldn't be around here to begin with.

I like the TGI with assault rifles which aren't the Harrier (that's boring ownage)

 

Great with the Saber, Valkryie, Argus, Phaeston, Striker

 

He almost makes the Avenger (when paired with AP IV ammo and AR amp III) Gold viable .. although still a little underwhelming.

"Almost"? The Avenger on him is totally Gold viable. The only time I've topped the scoreboard on Gold in a lobby full of BSNers was with exactly the setup you describe. Obviously I can't mention any names because those people have reputations to protect

[Xen]

If my Quarksman makes the avenger gold viable (as in extracting without much issue and currying the pugs to glory), then the TGI should be able to make it an actually decent setup considering all the bonus damage he gets for AR's, though I suppose the accuracy could be a slight issue.

TGI Particle Rifle or go home son...also, OP..Yes,,the after cloak damage boost lasts for up to 3-4 seconds on everything after it breaks...cloak, overload and fire away...this is the portion of my post where I would post a you toob vid of " Ima Firin Meh Lazer"...but you know..mods

Why skip overload when you have infinite ops packs? I haven't aligned with either side in the fitness holy war but with characters like the TGI and cabalguard fitness seems like a luxury that isn't worth bothering with. The cabal, in particular, can regen 40% of shields every 3 seconds with constant damage reduction. TGI with assault loadout gear is the same concept.

I think it's important to distinguish between the standard cloak damage bonus and the 6b assault rifle damage bonus. Those first few seconds of the 40 or 80% bonus are multiplied by 6b for crazy spike damage so using overload is a waste of damage unless vs shields.

Technically you can make any weapon work in Gold, yes even the Shruken. It doesn't mean you won't be sitting there shooting many many bullets into a single mook before he drops.

 

it's ok to do that in a typical pug group, but when playing with other competent players, using crap weapons is truly annoying

A TGI with an Avenger is doing something like 500 damage per headshot. 4-6 bullets to kill at 500 RPM= "many" to you?

Only if those competent players are all abusing cheesy nonsense in a gold game to the point where you don't often have the .5 of a second or so it takes for the Avenger to drop something on the TGI in most circumstances. I don't play with many people who simply want to grenade spam or AC5 Hurricane GI their way to a 10 minute extraction in every single gold game, so it would probably be a fine build. It's certainly better than a lot of other relatively popular builds (such as a melee......anything).

Oh, I didn't realize every bullet you have ever shot lands on the targets head. Quite the superpower you've got there.

 

I'm good at several things in this game, but aiming isn't one of them. And not landing Avenger shots in the head (even buffed with consumables on the TGI) takes many bullets to kill anything in Gold.

 

Edit, I would also add, when you start to list the different things in this game that are 'OP', you realize more than half this games content falls into that category. I don't feel the need to play OP stuff all the time, but I'm not going to shy away from it either. TBH I don't care if something is OP or not ..

That judgement seems a little harsh.

Since when are we judging builds based upon playing them suboptimally? Arc grenades are pretty ineffective when I chuck them off a cliff, too, but that doesn't make them underpowered. I'm assuming that a "competent" player is going to have half decent accuracy, especially at close-medium ranges that one would typically use the Avenger at. You don't need to land every shot on the head to kill things in a rather efficient fashion anyway, though theoretically if you could do that you could literally wipe mook spawns with single clips from an Avenger TGI in a few seconds. I haven't tried the setup, but Avenger on other weapon kits (such as Quarksman) is plenty effective at least on gold and below. Obviously, comparatively less so if everyone in the lobby simply wants to roflstomp this easy game match after match and has an idea what they are doing, but I mostly pug or play with likeminded players who are good and have no issue with using a variety of loadouts.

You can't do it, so therefore it is impossible. Got it.

No it isn't. Not even close to half in fact. It's a handful of weapons and characters. Use the randomizer and see how often you get something that is "OP"

[MaxCrushmore]

So you have never used the combo being discussed here, but can expertly comment on it, sounds legit. Comparing the Avenger to Arc grenades? lol

 

Hint, the Avenger is not good for using at close range; the only redeeming feature is its relative accuracy, meaning you can stay farther away from enemies

 

'literally wipe mook spawns with single clips from an Avenger TGI in a few seconds' - show me this, since this is your claim.

 

'You can't do it, so therefore it is impossible. Got it.' - how did you come to this conclusion? I also can't make a 3 point shot in basketball, guess that's impossible too. As I have actually played the set up we are discussing, I can tell you that body shots with an Avenger vs Gold level enemies takes many bullets.

 

As far as defining 'OP' content, I consider any kit with Tactical Cloak, Biotic Charge, Grenades, Flamer, Hunter Mode, Devastator Mode, Annihilation Field, Ballistic Blades, and any kits capable of stringing together quick combo detonations as OP. If you start to add them up, that is a lot of content. Less weapons fall into this category, but it still encompasses about a quarter of the available selections.

? In what way?
