So I was bored and tried to use backlash instead of Shockwave.
Even without speccing it for most durability it can withstand a full clip of an Anointed or even a full clip of an architect's turret (or singl direct blast) OR destroyer (either missiles or guns) OR Hydra...
It will cool down instantly (and I do mean in a fraction of a second) because of the insane quantity of cool down mods I have in all my gear (and asari sword since you can't use damage inflating mods in it)
Even without the reflectiveness path unlocked it will reflect A LOT of damage to the sender and when an observer uses his laser beam you can even use it as a Cap America/Iron man moment and direct the beam to another enemy by turning slightly
Gotta say
Nice addition...I rarely used Shockwave to begin with

Eh... i'm sure But My marksman vanguard takes the cake for me Three shots from afar taking down three enemies with headshots to make them panic Immediately charge in the middle of their ranks, nova them, shockwave on the survivors, pick them off in the air with headshots from the crusader if they are still alive. Each enemy that falls is a 25% shield recovery from one of the mods, cool down for Charge is less time than any animation following it. Asari sword allows invincibility flash steps each time it is swung. Also...those promo weapons are awful They'er OK early on while you build up your cash and resources but after you've levelled up a bit they're a bit useless yeah. Well anything is better than those awful beginning weapons. And to think ME3 had the N7 crusader as a preorder bonus lol

The Explorer Scott has Charge. Trust me, he needs it way more than the Vanguard Sara because the Pathfinder Deep Impact shotgun is terrible. Charge helps make it more viable. The Backlash Vanguard Sara wrecks sh*t easily and it’s pretty badass to just walk up to a foe behind my shield and slice it. It’s funny watching them help me kill them too as they helplessly shoot at me only to have it reflect back at them. Especially Anointeds and their Sonad cannons or Observers and their lasers.

I'm level 132 so...all of them? Lol My holy trinity is, obviously, Charge nova and shockwave Weapons of choice N7 crusader, black widow and PAW...all of them with vintage heat sink and stacked kinetic coils And Asari sword I have 4 Ryders that I cycle between. 2 Scotts (1 Explorer, 1 Infiltrator) and 2 Saras (1 Sentinel, 1 Vanguard). All 4 use 1 of the special edition Pathfinder guns as their main weapon. I wanted to create a chargeless Vanguard (Heresy, I know). My Vanguard uses the Pathfinder Ranger smg pistol and I wanted the main 3 powers to be Annihilation, Turbocharge, and Backlash. Because Annihilation has a bug where melee kills deactivates it (maybe it’s intentional, I don’t know), I had to change it up and substitute Lance in its place. The Lance is a shield killer and a Turbocharged Ranger takes out big baddies like Fiends. I activate Backlash and walk up to whatever goon that needs to die and melee kill with the Kett Carfon (sp?). It’s a different way of charging into battle and I find it really fun. no charge? HISSSSSSSSSSS

I'm sorry but....are you daft?? You quote quality of life improvements which were likely already budgeted for and that likely were done while the fate of MEA was being decided and assume they are an indicator that MEA performed satisfactorily??? Ok imagine this Ea exec 1: yo Bruce, that MEA sure did ok in spite of the reviews uh? Ea exec 2: yeah man, it made us a good chunk of change and people are playing it. What do you think we should do about it? Ea exec 1: oh oh I know....let's NOT capitalize on that! That DLC that was planned that, since the game was successful will make us even more money? Scrap it all and make some poor excuse MP reference to it! Do not incentivize the xbox community with an x patch until a year later even tho the x community is frothing at the mouth for 4k games. Quit support to the game sooner than ANY other Bioware game....oh yeah and let's dissolve the team that made the game too Ea expect 2: yeah...that'll do it! So if they budget money for something they are not allowed to reclaim that money because you claim the game tanked? Using that logic wouldn't they have also had money already set aside for DLC because normally DLC work starts before a game ships. You are mocking my thought because you believe EA would have milked the game if it was successful, so the opposite should be just as true then if the game did tank then the money would have been reclaimed. I have dealt with shrinking budgets in the past it happens and things get cut and the money is removed. That example avoids everything that I was talking about. Your example only applies if there wasn't any problem with leadership or other internal problems at BioWare Montreal and they could just continue making content without having to worry about anything else besides new content. If EA fired or had to replace a director of a game they would have been looking hard at something going wrong during development (my opinion) close to the end of development I think they would have had the studio under a microscope. They put a whole lot of resources into the final stage of Andromeda's development by moving people from other studios and working crunch to finish the project. If they felt that the only reason why Andromeda was successful was that additional manpower and experience it could mean they would have no faith in the remaining studio. Imagine it this way. Andromeda might have been successful, but EA didn't consider BioWare Montreal successful in making Andromeda. NONE of that changes the fact that I'd EA forecasted additional profits they would have done what they did with every game and that would be MILK IT. It is easier to replace leadership than it is to forsake profits especially since that is what shareholders want. Reclaiming unspent budget is a sign of profitability failure not a "need course correction" sign because you can bet your ass that if MEA made them as much money as, say, AC odyssey in spite of lukewarm reviews and "troubled leadership" they would have not pulled the plug.

uhm...you mean BESIDES the fact that the planned DLC was scrapped and the team dissolved? Why do those things only mean the game tanked? EA has talked positively about how Andromeda did to investors. They invested money in altering content of the game for they went back and modified the character generator and modified the Jaal romance to fall within the M/M romance. Even with this N7 day they spend the dev time to make a patch for the XB1 even if it was probably only a couple of hours. I just don't see a company like EA investing any money into something that tanked for they would expect it not to improve. Everything I saw is that they had a lack of management at the studio, so they might have had the people to make the content, but nobody to lead them. I'm sorry but....are you daft?? You quote quality of life improvements which were likely already budgeted for and that likely were done while the fate of MEA was being decided and assume they are an indicator that MEA performed satisfactorily???

heard the same about Andromeda, heard the same but in reverse about AC Odyssey. You have no certainty, neither do I, I only have hope There is no solid evidence that Andromeda tanked, its all speculation based on a couple of things to fit into narratives people want to tell. uhm...you mean BESIDES the fact that the planned DLC was scrapped and the team dissolved?

Highly anticipated titles can tank. (and anything in between, until the game is in our hands we don't know for sure) I hope the right thing happens to Anthem. (I'll be playing Colossus mostly ) you mean total utter failure? Yeah me too....I'll be actively trying to dissuade my friends from buying it

Lol oh God... Each time I come back the bar on this game is getting lowered When it comes out people will be happy with a Destiny clone with nearly nothing of a Bioware proper game. Hell AC odyssey is more of a bioware game than Anthem Like...WTF?!?!?!?!? Honestly...while I pray thus fails miserably I'll just replay Androneda with the xbox one x patch installed. Hopefully once this tanks Bioware will go back to ME.... LMAO. Anthem won't tank. heard the same about Andromeda, heard the same but in reverse about AC Odyssey. You have no certainty, neither do I, I only have hope

I'm just gonna back Kickstarters until Bioware remembers what put them on the map in the first place. higher than this At least playing ME will show EA there is a market for it Where there is q market there is money Where there us money there is EA

I'd still prefer a story DLC over this nonsensical update though. There's no hope for MEA left. I noticed some other updates were done Weapons have been tweaked and upgraded have been fixed when it comes to displaying negative impacts... The crusader now works as intended, My vanguard build is now perfect
