Got the widow and black widow a few days ago. Also just recently acquired the N7 Typhoon. Now my N7 Destroyer is officially Heavy Weapons Guy.
WHO TOUCHED SASHA! Pulls out N7 Typhoon.

Remember when Earth DLC was released and the N7 Destroyer actually kicked ass with the Typhoon before they nerfed it like one or two weeks later? That was fun. Also: Platinum difficulty was introduced with this DLC and I remember the first (recorded/uploaded) platinum solo on the old forums was with the Destroyer/Typhoon (and GPS to deal with Phantoms).

I've heard a lot of people say this. The Typhoon was really ridiculous when it was first released. But I'm still confused, even despite the nerf, Typhoon/Destroyer is still pretty ridiculous. Its one of the most common builds I see next to Geth Juggernaut with omni blade shotgun, Ghost with Harrier, and AIU with anything. |

Well the thing is: the Destroyer/Typhoon combo might still be powerful (even though I found it a bit underwhelming when I tried it again a couple weeks ago - but then again I like fast moving kits and weapons I don't have to point at the enemy for more than 1-3 powerful shots) but the problem with the Typhoon nerf is that it turned a pretty decent weapon into one that is now only good on a few kits. While you can say this for some other weapons as well it still saddens me that Bioware back then in my opinion mainly nerfed the weapon because it was very powerful when used by the destroyer and was otherwise pretty ok but nothing to worry about (in terms of balancing). I might not recall every detail correctly and I'm not sure if the Destroyer also got nerfed slightly but I remember this particular combo going from "whoa that is a lot of fun (even for me)" to "yeah, I guess you can play that if you like" and in my opinion neither the weapon nor the combo was as overpowered as some other kits or combos that never got balanced. |

That was super impressive and fun, even for me - a guy who was despising MP completely. I think that Sp3c7eR guy was my first pro whom I was following. Also: Platinum difficulty was introduced with this DLC and I remember the first (recorded/uploaded) platinum solo on the old forums was with the Destroyer/Typhoon (and GPS to deal with Phantoms). You mean this one? Enjoy 2012, pre-nerf Typhoon goodness  Also I'm thinking about doing something similar these days. I need to figure out how to undo balance changes though  |

Yes that's the platinum solo video I meant Sonashii Sp3c7eR also did the first gold solo during the demo/beta before the actual launch of the game with the Salarian Infiltrator and a Widow vs. Cerberus on FB Ghost if I remember correctly. Playing with him was always fun. I remember we did some biotic boom speedruns on FB White vs. another group and several times a week the recent record was broken. It was back when ~16-19 minutes was actually a good time (not much kits, equipment and gear available back then). We also did a challenge run vs. an Xbox group: which team is faster with an all Batarian Sentinels team with only uncommon weapons (we used Mattocks) on FB Giant. Edit: Just found his video of it. Funny... I was actually hosting that game (used a different name back then) |

Fair enough. I didn't think of it like that actually. The Typhoon is one of my favorite weapons and I felt it went well with a few characters I played like any soldier (human and turian mainly) and even Demogirl. I once tried it out on Fury bae for the lulz and actually liked it. I wasn't around when the gun first came out so I have no reference to how amazing it was. I still think its potent on the Destroyer and it melts with anyone who has marksman, but I see your point. Especially since other dumb things in the game weren't nerfed like Flamer, Turian Ghost in general, etc. And even EDI is still mostly brain less. Yet she is still so ridiculous. I understand she was even more so when she first came out. |
