I have been messing around with the Human sentinel recently and really like his/her set of abilities. In theory. Ok - everybody knows that combos do next to no damage in Andromeda so I didn't expect much. But I have to admit that Bioware still managed to surprise me when I saw that a tech combo didn't even take away more than 10% of a sharpshooter's shields. Maybe those 10% even came from Throw ^^ A tech combo not doing damage against shields...  this just makes every Mass Effect veteran turn in their grave. This must be a bug. Guys, it just has to be. PLEASE tell me it is  (even if you know it better - just say it) |

I went all out on combo and power damage on my Asari sentinel and my tech combos damage shields in gold.

You did make sure you specced Energy Drain to be a primer, right? By default it's only a detonator.
I was underwhelmed by the tech detonations when I took that evo, but I didn't think they were that bad.

Play one of these games with 100 % combo damage and it almost feels normal. I guess they will buff a lot. Better buffing than nerfing.

Just imagine the length of the patchnotes if Bioware had to fix what doesn't work, they'd still be typing in 2019. |

Yep I brought that up because I missed the evolution the first time I played the character. During the 10 hour trial, I wasn't taking the time to read every power and evo, because I didn't want to waste those 10 hours, and I just assumed that ED would be a primer like it was in ME3MP. |

I just tested it again.
the stun is VERY short. damage is non existent. even damage on synthetics is barely noticeable.
I am getting more and more convinced that ranking up the combos is bugged.
Because if the damage got bigger with every added evolution culminating at 6/6 it might be just right.

^ That would actually explain a lot.
Assuming ranking up the powers associated with the combo detonations would increase the power of said explosions (like ME3), then there may certainly be something not responding properly in game for calculating these detonations.
1/1 combos seem to do almost as much damage as 6/6 combos

Stealth buff ?? I was just playing my Human Sentinel again and the Tech Combos now took away (more than) half of a Sharpshooter's shields! So that the total combo stripped him completely of his shields. It was actually fun! But strange that they didn't mention this in the patch notes. Probably because its rather a fix than a balance change...  Maybe they "unlocked" the power ranking-up now so that a 6/6 power does more. I will test this tomorrow. |

I noticed that both my energy drain and tech combos seemed to be doing more damage this afternoon, but what do I know. |

I specced my Salarien Architect for full out tech damage, and it wasnt too bad. Going with that build you have primer for cryo, fire and tech, and two detonators. Tech detonate certainly damages shields.
I run in, put down my barricade in front of a group of mobs, they all get primed for tech. I incinerate to detonate tech and prime for fire. My remnant VI detonate the fire. It's a pretty sight that's for sure, and it's something of a change from vanquisher spam.
