I did a quick search on the threads, and they suggested the bug was only present with overhead swing. The shard seems powerful to me because it gets bonuses from both strength and for exotic skill, whereas the wrench seems only to get it for strength and the laser rapier for energy only. (of course, I haven't tested this, it's just what it seems like)

Yes, I started anothe run through, this time as an energy/heavy character. Have spent masses on getting enough into heavy to finally get the TC fusion cannon, but it really isn't good enough. It takes multiple shots to take down a rumbler even on "death" setting. I think I'd be better off with the energy pistols, 2 of them, on overpowered shots like Aristed suggested,


Multiplayer sounds like fun. Won't try it soon though, don't have the net at home.

See you all.

(http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php/topic,25.0.html) ADaoB version 025 sets the Crystal Shard's damage while using the overhead smasher upgrade to the correct value.
Thanks to Nameless Voice for this update. :)

I see you're being ironic... Just let me say that this "feature" clearly wasn't intended by the developers as the upgrade's additional damage gets calculated correctly for all other melee weapons. That's why I think it was a good idea by Nameless to make this fix a part of ADaoB.

If you don't like it just keep the ADaoB version 024 which is the same as 025 except for this minor update, and at the moment it can still be (http://sbf.freylia.net/SS2_Straylight_ADaoB_v024.zip) downloaded from freylia.net in case you don't have it anymore.
