Mar. 25th, 2017 12:02 amME:A Blather- Heh, I keep intending to progress the story, but Eos keeps pulling me back in! I ended up fighting my first Architect. It was pretty intense! I died the first time around, because whatever cover I was behind didn't work. I just had to keep moving, cloaking when I could to lose aggro and get some breathing room so I could get my own attacks off, a combination of cloak enhanced sniper shots and incinerate detonated by energy drain fire combos. Eventually, that brought it down. And it got Eos to 100% viability, and got me enough AVP to unlock another pod, which I used for a regular money infusion.
But heh, yeah, I hadn't actually been doing fire combos before that, mostly because currently bullets work just as well. Though the Architect dropped remnant troops that were all armor, so it was really the first opportunity I had to use the combo.
Also, the Valiant fires MUCH faster in this one. Though part of it may be that there's no longer sniper time dilation in this, so I'm experiencing the shots in "real time". The black widow exists in this too, though I have no idea if it still has the inherent penetration its ME3 incarnation had. Otherwise, the valiant and black widow's stats are very similar with their damage and RoF being inversed.
Or course, I have no idea what the numerical rate of fire stat translates into how fast you can actually fire it in game, so I don't know which rifle has the better dps. I mean, at base, a Valiant does 310 damage with a rate of fire of "125". A Black Widow does 576 with a RoF of "65". But since I don't know how a 65 compares to 125, I can't do a proper DPS calculation.
TV commentary:
The Originals- Heh, thank goodness that was resolved quickly. ( spoiler cut )
