Oh hi new video! (Gameplay Series - Part 2)

The combat gameplay definitely comforts me on that particular subject. I just hope we can get some more deets on the Explorer profile soon.

Seeing the last video made me realize that most of the powers in this game suck. Now I actually think I won't need more than 3 active powers, just go with that soldier profile - Omni grenade, Trip mine, Backlash, dump the rest into passive stats. Have you seen those numbers? Powers like Nova / Shockwave / Singularity / Lance topping out at about 300-350 dmg, then there is Trip mine that hits like a truck for 1.3k, and it's not even a consumable, or if it is it somehow still recharges on the battlefield, as I've seen from the video.

Interesting. 

Trip mine requires 1 power cell, same as Flak Cannon and Omni Grenade and Sticky Grenade (haven't seen a whole lot of this last one though)... at least that is was I think. But you're right, Trip Mine hits really hard.  Flame Thrower also has burn damage after the ability is done being used. FT does a ton of damage as well.

I thought singularity was never meant to be a really damage-dealing power, just something that weakened, disabled an enemy so you could finish them off with something else. I am concerned about Nova though, since my favorite past time in ME3 is slamming the snot out of everything everywhere.  

I wish Vorcha Master Bates was here though. He would love seeing all these burning videos. 

it depends on how much points he put on biotics, I think.
Beside, I guess trip mine is expecially powerful because you have only one or two, and I don't think they'll be that easy to replenish.

Can't wait to freak out and get killed multiple times by the Fiend and feel triumphant for about an hour after successfully killing one.

Interesting.  

But to answer the question a 'power cell' is esentially like your grenade consumable powers in ME 3, from what I can gather.  You basically use them and then once you get to zero you can't use them anymore.  Which might explain why they pack a bigger punch, but if they can regenerate that is really insteresting.  And might really change my build.  omg this game sounds soooo awesome.  

Lol, I got it! Rewatched the video and noticed that the PC walks by an ammo crate on the left while bombarding the Fiend with Consumable powers, so it refills. 

Because he went past an "ammo box", if you look at the left you see a yellow sign. I believe that is a sort of  "ammo box" for power cells.

At least that is what it look like.

Edit: Ninjad, not my lucky day.

Meh, I still think it's better to have powers that actually annihilate the enemies when you use them as opposed to toying around with them, even if those powers are not infinite + as usual I don't think that gun damage will fall behind power damage so Soldier profile ftw.
