I have read that Fortification & Barrier are the same thing in terms of having it as a Bonus Power when I start a new game. However I haven't gotten Geth Shield Boost yet so I am unsure if it has the same effects as Fortification and Barrier. Which one  is the best?

Would it shock you that they're all the same?

Except for their classifications... Fortification and Geth Shield Boost are (I believe) tech abilities, Barrier is a biotic. This only matters for ship researched upgrades that change cooldowns, however.



Geth Shield Boost has a different upgrade than the others IIRC though, in that the improved version of it increases your damage while it is active. I use that on my soldier.

[NovaZero]

Well yeah, but you miss out on that extra 25% shield...

Edit: as for cooldowns, I'm assuming you have ALL upgrades on to which point it should boil down to the same cool down reduction anyway. Or am I wrong on that (don't have an upgrade list handy)?

I picked up AP Ammo to start my new game and as soon as I can do special training I was looking at picking up one of these powers, not sure which one yet. From what I see they are all the same. And no it wouldn't surprise me if they are the same with different names lol. Guess when you get class 4 for Geth Shield boost you can also get a little bit of ammo damage as well.

Take a look here if you want to see the actual breakdowns.

Thanks for the link. I didn't realize (but makes sense) that they are in different categories.

[Sodom Gomorrah]

I believe that's the core matter. they are the same in everything essential, save for the biotic/tech classifications.



Fortification looks much better though.,

I tried doing that, but the new power replaces the one I chose in the beggining of the game. Total let down if you ask me.

So you only get one bonus power total? I.E. I start with AP and than I use advanced training and whatever I pick replaces the old one? Yup i just tried it, that blows, I was hoping you can have more than one bonus power. That makes me sad.

Exactly.

[Blaze_Henryson]

Well than which bonus power is the best one to get? AP ammo or a shield of some kind?

Depends on your class, playstyle and difficulty..

ie:
want to do more damage - AP rounds
more defense - shield (any)
another offensive power - Reave
shield killer - Energy Drain

etc

Alright well thanks. I am playing as a soldier and figured I would max out adrenaline rush, concussive shot, combat mastery, AP ammo and that leaves me with 10 points to spend on ummm other stuff I won't really use if I make it to level 30. Not like I can't change AP to something else if I get bored.

I think fortification count as "armor" (the yellow defence") meaning it's more resistent to AR&SMG fire... not confirmed. and i don't know if the geth shield boost gives u the geth technology upgrade (that u research, for +50% bonus to squad members using geth shields)

Having two bonus powers would make your build significantly weaker if you were trying to put points in all your powers
