Re: Multiplayer Weapon/Combo Balance

Weapon damage and power damage needs to be buffed all around the damage values are ok on bronze but if you go into silver and gold difficulty than playing gets too arduous and un-fun the avenger X takes 2 full clips, 60 rounds total to kill a normal, base, red bar enemy and it takes 20 rounds to kill the same with a level 6 mattock its just crasy it sould take less than half that, its like throughing grapes at the enemy instead of shooting them with weapons, and its the same thing with powers. Hiting something with any power that does damage doesnt do near enough and the explosions are like popping a balloon on front of them and it should be like setting C4 off in front of them. I want to play the multiplayer but I will not until the weapons and powers are buffed significantly.

    I'm sorry, but you should play with the asari adept first or have a team that has annihilation + vortex. These people have been clashing for frags with the SR guys. I've got around 7k apex and have been playing with SR only until the gold medal, but biotic combos are by far my favorite since it's a satisfying nukefest. I just feel like Lord Vader or Starkiller that just breezes through with the enemies floating around (or flying away at high speed).

    Edit: And not to mention the double shield the adepts/vanguards have which makes them extremely useful in close combat on gold.

    I agree, weapon balance is really messed up. But the balance in general is terrible. Enemies are bullet sponges even on bronze, I use assault rifles because I do not get a sniper rifle and I need nearly a full magazine to kill an enemy with head shots. On silver, most people play with Vanquisher, my biotic powers/combos are nearly useless.

    Not this way Bioware, not this way.
