Humans and Quarian Female Engineers get quite a boost here in the form of love for turret/drones.
Also, Bioware has hinted that there are seriously looking at changes to Tactical Cloak for the next balance change, citing the statistic that Infiltrators are used 33.6% of the time on Gold Matches.
Hell, yeah! If something is working, BREAK IT! That's the Bioware motto!
lol
Do you still play this Bar?
Pretty stoked about these new changes. The QFE has a special place in my heart as she was the first character I used on Gold (could have used anything as I was carried the whole way, lol). There was a time where I used the Viper alot too. Looking forward to playing soon!
Yeah, the QFE was pretty badass to start with, so this is awesome
Played some HE over lunch in some Bronze matches. That combat drone is a beast now.
Yeah a few times a week. It's still fun, but I love to bash on it.
