Noob questions - MP beginners guide for dummies

Yes, as far as I know.

Turrets are considered combat power damage, which is that weird category that doesn't always play by the same rules as the others, but in theory would be blocked similarly to tech/biotic powers.

Thanks a lot for your answer - that's exactly what I was looking for. Not that I didn't expect it to be this way, because, when applying this, one does modify a part of their game which is related to Multiplayer content, so logically it should be a bannable offense.


Yeah, I totally agree with you, because enabling the console technically allows one to do way more than just fixing that 0.2 second delay (which indeed helps you miss fewer shots, but doesn't make any radical changes or give you in-game items). As for the team I usually play with, though, they're a bit on the fence about this particular one, because on the one side, they agree that it was a mistake in the code that the devs should have corrected (thus it's called a FIX), but, on the other side, they say that the fix was created by a user and not Bioware, and wasn't initially a part of the game (this logic, however, leads to the thinking that Hydra camping is totally fine, because it is a part of the game). As for the console though, they are somewhat against it, but they know that I use it solely for chatting, so they're kind of OK with that - but again, only "kind of".
As for RC, however funny it may be, one of them did say that it was cheating (the logic being that it was not how the game was intended to play), but later asked me how one could do that - I think because the benefits obviously outweigh everything else.
P.S. I hope you're doing well on your road to recovery

Do multiple uses of TGI's cloak stack? I.e. can I get a +40% AR damage bonus or something?

How is AF's damage applied? I understand that there are some periodical ticks but how frequent they are and what decides when the first one is applied?

How does shield gate work when it comes to different damage multipliers against defenses? For example, let's assume that shield gate negation is 75% and I hit a Phantom with 3000 barriers with a hit that deals 3600 damage against barriers, but only 600 damage against health. What health damage will she suffer?

6A Throw is expected to do some additional damage "on impact". That is, only to one enemy, even if Radius is chosen?

Ok, I did some tests

The first formula is definitely incorrect; if it was correct, you could OSK a Bronze Nemezis with Acolyte.

It doesn't prove anything about the second formula but I think it's the most probable one.

Edit: this question has apparently been answered already: bsn.boards.net/thread/1812/numerical-thread-acolyte-ignores-corlist

Those descriptions are misleading. Insert "striking a target with shadow strike" instead of "decloaking".

At least I'm pretty sure that i get the 6b speed bonus while still cloaked due to the bonus power evolution. And I don't get the bonus when simply breaking the normal cloak with firing or similar. ( I could be wrong, haven't played the shadow in about a year or so. But that is what i remember)

The fuck is wrong with PPR? I started unironically using TS on Centurions just to squeeze any meaningful amount of DPS out of it, even with Marksman on and fully weapons-oriented lvl 6 quarian passive.

Damage Barrel & Disruptor (?) and I can't take a Collector down before I'm dead, even on Silver. Much will change when I'll get it past level I?

Okay, I've been thinking about posting this for quite a while.
As some of you who happened to stumble upon me might have noticed, I've been playing nothing but Javelin GI recently, and there are quite a few questions that have arisen during this time.
1) Does Javelin suffer from off-host issues ("I swear I got that perfect headshot, but the shot didn't even register")?
2) What are the best mods to use on this gun, does the AP distance of AP mods stack, and does the use of AP mods with AP/Drill ammo nerf my damage (and if so, is this true for both the regular AP mod and HVB)?
3) Is cheesing Platinum Phantoms on-host possible, and if so, what equipment is required for that? (By far, I'm sure that Jav X + Phasics III + SR Rail Amp III = OHK if not in bubble, but no OHK if the Phantom bubbles up).
4) What is the best Ammo? Phasic Ammo allows to OHK mooks, but Warp gives better damage output, and Disruptor gives stun and tech bursts.
5) If you could share some of your personal tips and tricks for this class, I'd be very, very grateful.

3. With jav the bubble is quite good as u get double hits with one penetration mod. I think u need around 1.8 m penetration

Wrong kit lol. Nitrous is talking GI.

Phasic, Drill, AP, Warp... All good choices. Cloak Proxi Shoot, rinse and repeat, they're dead.
