Oooh, updates. Whee.
Kinda sad they fixed Excavation mode, was so hilariously easy and fun when the excavators would never die.
Thoughts on the Nyx, now that its maxed out. Mind control is great for specific high value targets, assuming you are skilled enough to keep track. I tend not to be, but do notice the difference in tagging an eximus unit over a basic grunt. Of course, even tagging a grunt draws some fire from you. The 2 power is nigh useless, being a rather weak 3 target attack, but it has its minor uses in dealing with long range foes. Chaos is, well, chaotic. It covers a massive area and makes foes attack each other. However, I'm not entirely sure of how effective it is. When I used it, I noticed little difference. However, I've seen other Nyx's use it and utterly decimate foes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Now, absorb. This is beastly. 25 energy to start, causes a big AOE around yourself, and makes you immune to pretty much everything while it runs. Extremely spammable, and an amazing thing to drop if your shields get low, as you regen while its running. Definitely at least as potent as Volt's shock, if not more so despite the lack of range.
Currently leveling Ember with a Grakata, and I must say, the only thing I want at the moment is a Metal Auger mod. The thing is such a bullet hose that the only problem so far is that most corpses absorb half a burst of bullets before they fall down.
