"Increase damage and force of biotic detonation by 50%."
I just picked up Javik, and plan on running with him and Garrus as my squad. I am playing soldier Shep. The plan is to prime explosions with Garrus' Overload and my squad ammo powers. Then detonate them with Javik's Slam.
Does the above Slam talent apply to explosions primed by Overload and ammo powers? Or does it only apply to explosions primed by a biotic power (which I won't have)?
Thanks.
http://masseffect.wi...ki/Power_Combos has a nice chart showing which combo types can be detonated by each power. It shows that Slam can indeed detonate a Tech combo.

That evolution applies only to biotic explosions.
So no, it will not increase the damage of explosions primed by tech powers or ammo powers.
TBH I powered up Javiks Slam in my recent playthrough also .. an underwhelming power at best. Only works as a detonator vs health targets

Well, in my current setup with soldier Shep/Garrus/Javik, I don't really have any other detonators for Garrus' Overload. I don't use Concussive Shot on my soldier. And Garrus' CS is going to be on cooldown after Overload. So it's either Slam or Lift Grenade from Javik as a detonator, and I don't really like grenades, so Slam it is.
So yeah, Pull is probably a better overall power for CC. But Slam works great with this setup for Overload/Slam combos. Shields, if they have any, are stripped by Overload before Slam hits, and the cooldown on Slam is so short (like 3 sec.), I can just keep Slamming something over and over to keep it on lockdown if I want, while I focus on killing other stuff. Plus, the animation for Slam is FUN.
^ I agree the Slam animation is kinda cool.
You could consider using Liara instead of Javik and use her Warp to detonate the tech burst from Overload. Or even EDI's Incinerate would work
Yeah, Liara is a lot more versatile than Javik. Main thing Javik has going for him, combat wise, is AR training, other than a lot of ways to prime for biotics.
