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

Lets not forget that they can avoid the trip mine altogether. We saw a Kett duck behind cover to completely avoid an Omni Grenade. We also saw it later when the PT was shooting at the Kett with the Shotgun. We then hit them with Cryo Beam and then with Lance. Abilities are our friend it looks like.

On the Respec:
Please no beta SWTOR.

It's just that I don't see the point. And maybe I misread some dev comment, which created my expectation.
With so many possibilities, I dreamed about re-specing my skills after every mission and experiment. Now, knowing that I can't afford that in the beginning of the game, I have to play safe don't invest in skills that I know I'm not good.

But, well. That's the past.

Combat looks better than ever!

It's a waste of a consumables that would perhaps be better spent on a grenade for AoE. It also requires you to get fairly close and take the time to aim the mine, and on higher difficulties I assume you won't be able to stand out in the open without being shredded by enemy fire. And it's probably not going to be terribly effective against enemies that stick to cover. So peeking out and firing a Pull at someone would be far more beneficial in many cases.

Whereas the mine would be more effective against the Fiend since you don't have to worry about it returning fire, it's always going to charge you, and blowing a consumable on a big enemy makes sense.

Anyway, I like that, between 12 combat skills and the boatload of passives, there seems to be a lot of potential customization when it comes to combat. I also like Profiles giving access to signature abilities such as the chain Biotic combos of the Adept. It's a good way to make specialization matter in a classless system.

Putting it simply, there are a lot of things I'm liking about the combat so far.  It seems like everything I would want out of an action-RPG.

thanks for that because that was something I was curious about. 

Can we get someone to tweet the devs if trap mine functions as an "active effect"? The lines look a bit blurry from my angle.

I don't think that answers my question. I am wondering if Trip Mine acts as an effect that stays even when we change profiles. Turrets do not, but they are a mechanical construct and want to know how Trip Mine is classified.

You are just guessing though?

They should have just used a skillbar for PC instead of this 3 skills at a time nonsense.

I am not worried about it considering you can get pretty much every Ability Upgrade unlocked on a single playthrough.
