[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sliding Ghost You don't play on Legendary, do you? As for the shields, there's no mention of them in the books. Furthermore, how would the shields protect the Prophet if Chief is inside the shield?! Notice the blood coming out when you melee him (iirc, there is)? Yeah, that means he's hitting Regret. Even if the shield is somehow still protecting him, it does not cushion the blow or Regret would not have died when Chief boarded him. Also, when Zhar attempted to attack Truth, they were in their gravity thrones: [quote]An honor guard of five Sangheili guards arrayed themselves around their floating chairs[/quote] So why would he attack them if they were shielded? I call the prophet battle in H2 bs since there's no mention of gravity thrones having shields in the books. Anyways, it's plainly evident that Regret is a damage sponge. Also Tartarus. The constant shield regeneration (sometime after it's taken down by a beam rifle) is a distraction to hide it.[/quote] I dont know the tricks for Legendary ;) And I think it is stupid that it takes so much hits to kill Regret when he doesn't even have shields. A grunt is more durable than a frail weak prophet. If they wanted to make the Regret battle more believable, they should have had loads of honours guards (not infinitely spawning, thats stupid) and once you kill them all, you get a clear one shot kill at regret with whatever weapon you are holding. Or maybe two shots. [Edited on 05.23.2012 2:40 PM PDT]
