What great Abilities did you random with Faction Classes?

[Roomba King]

I sadly didn't get Blademaster yet on my Templar, but I did get something more insane! Reaper! :D

Not the class obviously but the Ranger ability!

All of the Rends!

I also got Tactical Rigging on my Reaper and Skirmisher. I also got Deadeye on my Reaper, and Volitile Mix on my Skirmisher.

What about you all?

The best ones: Serial or Death from Above on a Ranger.

I admit those abilities on a Ranger are good, but you forgot one that maybe isn't as good as Serial but I think I'd much better then Death from above.

Blast Padding. Extra armor, less damage from explosives on your frontline guy. I'm sure we all had experiences of having our rangers grenaded or the car they had for cover exploding via Muton grenade.

not really considering they always have untouchable in my case, although once I had a ranger with Hail of bullets and I used it to kill an avatar on the last mission from max range when my entire squad was starting to get overwhelmed, it was pretty funny

Untouchable only works once though, and Rangers are usually at the front being targeted the most.

Untouchable only works once per turn though if I'm not mistaken? So get a kill per turn and stay safe =)

And I never get Blast Padding, always go for the shredding ammo so I won't be forced to use as many grenades against armoured enemies (even more important now in the DLC with The Lost around)

No, that still isn't omnipotent. What if you get attacked several times in one turn? No guarantee at all for Rangers who get attacked the most. Blast padding on a Ranger would decrease damage, especially from those pesky grenades. And it's even BETTER with the Lost who do weak swarm attacks, as that armor point gets more effective against multiple numerous attacks as well.

Oh sorry, I wasn't thinking about that this was the mixing thread =p

I meant for my Grenadiers I always go for the Shredding.

[Tiasmoon]

I have like 4 Rangers and the lowest ranked one (sgt) got Serial. That guy is like 20th in my list of
Soldiers.

Havent really had much of any luck with random abilities.

[Roomba King]

Has anyone discovered yet if Skirmishers can also get Blademaster?

They have a perk called retribution in their normal skill tree that does the same thing as blade master.

Oh, my skirmisher is stunning people 100% of the time with his melee and I have no idea why? Is it a skill I got, or a higher tier ripjack?

It's the t2 ripjack you get from the stun lancer autopsy. I hope it doesn't get nerfed lol, that thing is so good at disabling shieldbearers and other high value targets.
T3 templar weapons seem to stun/disorient enemies too. My templar is just running around shutting down heavy mechs and sectopods now.

What could get nerfed is Justice + Retribution. It does double damage, Justice triggers Retribution. This is unholy with tier 3 Ripjack you get 2 x 9 damage and apply burning... Especially funny on Lost missions where they just get burned and can't touch the Skirmisher at all.

Death from above on gunner who was bonded with my sniper.

What's even more funny is using Justice and then pulling through a Bladestorm with Katana Ranger or Templar - odds are they won't survive.
