Stealth Fixes

Further stealth changes:

Some of the assassinate targets will now be "boss" mobs in wave 6.

Devices now takes half the time to "disarm".

Stealth grid animation now works off host.

because they consider them "fixes" rather than changes ?

Or they just know that these obvious things would make them look bad

idk - I am definitely happy about them

This is something I had asked for but I think it is still too cluttered. They need to stick to stats. I don't need it to tell me that my Overload "Chains to 2 additional targets" etc. Basically, just update the information displayed in rank 1. That's all we need.

Also, Energy Drain on my Human Female Sentinel is telling me that 35% (base) + 15% (rank 3) + 30% (rank 6b) = 51% Shields Restored. Which is 35% + [15% of 35] + [30% of 35]. Which means someone fucked up.

Just mentioned it in another thread, but throw 5a lost priming attribute. Not that anyone took it, but still, fyi. (Dunno if only text or actuall effect as well)

Nova was buffed, apparently. I'm not really sure because I didn't use the vanguard before this patch, but now I can play a non-melee human vanguard in gold with no boosters and top the board, and it seems that wasn't a thing before.

There was one guy who said it was awesome, but he hasn't posted ever since I set him straight

Sniper rifle piercing mod on vanquisher still does no damage, but staggers through thin cover last I checked immediately after the update earlier today.

From memory it did for anything with a base stat to work from. For example Health, Shields, Weapon Damage, Melee Damage, Power Damage. Power effects have always been additive. And seem to still be in most cases. look at Cryo Beams armor debuff. Base 50% + 50% from 5a and the tooltip now says 100%. Biotic Charge and now Charge restores 50% of barriers/shields respectively at base and in both cases rank 6b is an additional 50% for a total of 100% restored. I find it hard to believe that anyone thought an extra 5.25% shields restored was reasonable. Oh, and just to confuse things more, Energy Drain has a base 100% Shield Damage Bonus and 15% Synthetic Damage Bonus. And with rank 6a's 40% and 15% you get a total of 140% and 30% respectively.

You would know a thing or two about that, wouldn't you?

Headshots are still just as garbage and inconsistent off-host, as far as I'm experiencing. Any differences I've noticed have just been differences between the quality of individual hosts. 


That's the same as it was before the patch -- it always staggered, just didn't do damage. example from six days ago. 

Hit detection for snipers seems better on xb1. Both on and off host. So that's a nice improvement.
