Just another sign of how fubar the ground war is. All weapons are useless against elite borg EXCEPT the melee ones.
Or maybe they didn't change anything at all, and energy weapons just frakking SUCK SO BAD now that melee is only good in comparison. My shard of kahless still only does 30 damage in a hit against something that has 500 hit points, and 50% of that only makes it through the shields.
It's just that energy weapons are not that good againts shields, and elite borg have high resist. Try using a tachyon harmonic sci to disable shields, and they will drop like flies to concentrated firepower. It all works as intended, melee bypasses shilelds, but you are exposed to assimilation.
It's all good, one should not just shoot everything with one's minigun. The game is already too dps heavy, we should use skills instead of further empowering raw dps. (Tac groups will melt even elite borg in seconds)
