Hello HYR 2.1!

Omni blade rocks. Just belted out a Geth/Silver match with a level 8 Krogan Vanguard, with Eviscerator & Omni Blade... came 2nd after having a whale of a time headbutting Primes into scrap.

Might have done better if I wasn't on Firebase White. I'd never encountered the Krogan Rage / Hazard White issue before. It was funny for one match...

lol... that happened to me quite a few times. Back when I was playing my Krogan sentinel all the time. I'd play gold with Banshee and Blur, and of course the random map would be White Hazard. I pretty much rebuilt it so it wasn't a melee build any more, for that reason.

Oh yeah. Total whiteout. First time i've actively tried NOT to melee with a krogan. That's just...wrong.

I haven't unlocked a worthwile character for days. Just got another flipping volus this morning.

Still waiting for my Geth Soldier

Well until then at least I can play around with my Turian Sabotour Engineer and Asari Valkyrie Sentinel

Hah! I have him! I have him! I liked the vorcha soldier more, still has flamer but also health regen.

Which Volus? I've just unlocked the Volus Vanguard.

I call him... THUNDERBALL.

I have the adept and the... whatever mercenary is.

The Geth can be melee juggernauts and teamed with a shield boosting volus they can almost melt anything with their heavy melee and the right build.

Engineer.

Must admit though I love the Recon Mine, wish I had something non Volus with it.

Anyone have a favorite map/enemy for getting over cover grabs...I can usually sneak out a couple on any map, but I really want to try and finish up that challenge (since its the only one that I have left for Combat Mastery).

I know the Drell Infiltrator has Recon Mine but obviously you actually need to have the class.

Heartbreaker challenge banner = best banner evar!

Well I got that challenge in one game of Gold.

My Q. Engineer class rocks on Gold vs Reapers.

Would have been better if it simply was a banner of a banshee screaming at you..."How dare you leave me! You heartbreaker!"

Edit: Here you go, this is what it should have been:

Yeah I was quite surprised how fast I got the challenge...felt like a gift after last weekends challenge being such a grind.

Seems everyone has done the op already. I was waiting til tonight and now I feel behind.

It goes quick...you won't be behind long.

1.) Create new match.
2.) Set to private (and do not allow friends to join).
3.) Map: FB-White.
4.) Enemy: Geth.
5.) Kit: Any durable character (krogan, batarian...)
6.) Run to the infamous L-shaped cover inside base, lower level.
7.) Run around room luring in geth enemies for grab kills - at all costs.
8.) ???
9.) Profit!

That's how I did it. Do it right and you get a good 50 grabs a pop... iirc.

That's where I used to do it...wasn't sure if it still worked well after they reworked the map and opened things up!

Thanks!

What I would like to know is what do people spend their xp points in? That and what extra equipment do you tend to favor and why?

Same FB White. But go to the far corner where the ammo pickup is right behind you. I just hang out behind the barricade and just spam over cover grabs on everything but atlases and the occasional enemy who gets by the over cover grab

I won the op by starting a solo platinum game and missiling banshees for a few seconds before dying. Like a boss.

You mean you're looking for builds?

A good build can make all the difference in the world compared to a bad build. It's all about maximizing synergy. That goes for your choice of equipment too, as well as the combination of character kits the team uses.

If you need builds for a specific kit just give a holler in here. There's several people here who will help you with builds.

Sometimes there are multiple ways to build a kit that work really well. It also depends on your playing style.

The easiest way to build up a class is to decide what you want to focus on - duarbility, weapons, biotics, tech powers, melee etc - and then make sure that everything you choose goes into improving and/or supporting that focus.

For example, Say I'm using an Asari Adept. I want to maximise the damage my Biotic Explosions cause, and how quickly I can fire them off. So I focus on maxing out Warp and Throw, making sure I choose evolutions that increase damage or biotic combo damage. I support that with a couple of ranks in stasis to help me get out of trounle, choosing power damage evolutions instead of weapon damage evolutions and improving my health.

I would then use a weapon that supports this focus - a low weight sidearm such as a pistol, SMG or a Disciple shotgun - this keeps my cooldown time low, so I can fire my powers faster.

Finally I choose gear that improves my Biotic damage - Commando amp if I'm using a pistol, or an Adaptive War Amp.

The final build then would probably look something like this:

Asari Adept Biotic Explosion build

Target your enemies with Warp, then Throw to detonate. The low recharges mean you can do this almost constantly. If you're using equipment, again focus on what you've got - in this case I'm using a pistol amp, Power Amplifier and I'd go Warp rounds as well.

As an alternative, if I was focusing on weapons as my main formn of causing damage, I'd go for a class which doesn't have any tech/biotic powers which have cooldown times, preferably grenades to support my attacks and then use heavy weapons and put points in evolutions which increase weapon damage. Here's Mr. Krogan Sentinel by way of example.
