krogan charachters in multiplayer too sluggish

You can adjust the FOV in MEA 🥳

In my opinion the krogans are pretty fun to use up close and they can take a lot compared to other biotic characters. Slap melee equipment on it and you're good to go for the hunt.

I actually get slightly annoyed with the Krogan in MP ...I've seen too many of them rush and dash or using some skill of theirs? (unlocked all of them but haven't played them yet) come into my view and steal my kill 😛 They seem really strong in MP to me at least. Seeing two Krogan and an Asari Adept with her Annihilation on my team, I know I'll be #4 on the list at the end of the mission 😛 

Yikes, haven't adjusted the FOV... thanks for the tip!

by equipment you refer to those you buy in the store for Andromeda points?

haven't seen one for melee yet..

I seem to be able to play very well up close with the Asari sentinel and Turian havoc trooper.

The thing is in Silver/Gold you really need to deal damage (aka kill before getting killed) and dodge to avoid taking damage. 

also the Krogan Gladiator doesn't have a detonator... which is annoying. the Nova is useless... and it's an Ultra Rare?

p.s. I often steal kills with a sniper just as easily... it's more about people just not stepping on each other's toes.

Krogan have a shorter dash/evade range than humans which have a shorter dash range than Asari.

So yes, they are more sluggish in terms of agility (no wonder).

Also a character (e.g. Krogan vanguard or mercenary) with active Fortify has considerable reduced movement and sprint speed.

If activated they are 35% slower.

They are fat and often get in the way, as for kill stealing? ... I don´t care much about points in gold, all I care about is getting the job done as efficiently as possible, if some fat Krogan keeps killstealing me ... good on him/her.

But they are fat ... fill doorways ... and for that reason they can be quite obnoxious.

@Ishaan0001 The melee equipment (it has another name) can be bought with mission funds. You need to keep an eye out, because they regulary rotate the type of equipment.

@Tuinbonen thanks for the advice i'll keep an eye on.

The Gladiator became better once i invested in both its resilience slots. Running around hammering stuff... and then you get the rage which i think makes it faster.

I guess this is just entering the personal preference realm now.

still prefer the quick and deadly Assari 🙂

cheers

There is simply too much focus with some gamers trying just to be number 1 of 4 on the score table.  They will do anything and I mean anything at times to ensure they kill the last 1% of an enemy health that you just killed 99% of so they get their name showing for the kill.  Sadly this happens a lot and just leaves you with that WTF feeling.  

However a a game goes though my own personal focus is never my score but more of a team surviving and succeeding stance.  When I say succeeding I also mean a full extraction where everyone is in the extraction circle as the wave7 timer ends too

how many times though do you see the person who is #2 on the score table is nowhere near the circle and is out farming as many kills as they can rather than being a team player and standing with the rest where they should be at the end?

Krogans are big and bulky and struggle with finding good cover in the extraction circle at times.  If you have stealth grid. Help a krogan out 🙂

i have played  every class in multiplayer but I will tell you this a krogan relies much of the time on blood rage for survivability and that means keeping up a kill streak so I would advise everyone to playa krogan to understand better why they seem to be intent on killing with frequency.  If blood rage stops they have to get 2-3 more Melee kills before they get it back.  So don't hate them too much if they slam into your kills. 🙂

Well, I'm all for being a team player but yea when I've just put the time into unloading on a mob and someone else comes along at the very end and snipes/charges in to take the kill it usually is either a Krogan or that damn Asari Adept so yea sometimes I get frustrated.

I'd also like to see my name at the top of the list when the job's done every now and then ...who doesn't but you're right, it's usually the person who's 'kill stealing' or farming mobs like crazy at the end when they should be grouped up with the party that ends up on top and I dunno about anyone else's groups but 9/10 the #1/#2 spots are taken up by some Krogan or the Adept (usually the Adept) so much so that I'm nearly wishing the adept would get a nerf ...but then again I've only played with her twice and she's only lvl 4 on my list. I've actually steered clear of her just cuz of how OP I feel this class is.

The only reason I've yet to play the Krogans is while I like them as a race, not a fan of them in combat. Rarely used Drack in my first play-thru but mebbe i'll give them a shot in MP and see how they play and get a better understanding of them so I don't feel like they may be ks my mobs.

One last thing about the Krogan ...someone here posted they have the shortest dash but I swear I saw one leap dash from one building to the other and then some to snag the last mob of a round ...looked like he moved halfway across the map in like 2 secs ...so either they aren't as slow as folks think or that person was hacking somehow??
