Once again very impressive video, You are indeed quite the beast on this game.
Are you planing on doing solo vids for all the classes?

Thanks. Maybe I will... But the idea was to entertain more than guide (as I doubt many people would play solo anyway). I'm certainly going to try to play solo with all classes, and if it turns out that they don't involve too much pointless sitting behind cover, I might make videos too.

Very, very impressive. I think I may need to try those two classes out.

At least Sentinels don't. :devil:

No they don't...Sentinels are a beast.  Even better with a shotgun.  Nice vid.

They're both very good. I am looking forward to more.



Maybe Adept for some good challenge?

That'll need some... eh, creative thinking, maybe. I just tried playing Adept solo, and as expected, it was less than dull compared to Infiltrator and sentinel. I mean, it's just about doable, but it's just very slow because of the low survivability (hey no cloak or tech armor so what else can you do but sit behind cover) and slow killing speed. Maybe if I try the Collector base so I can max my abilities, and pick an appropriate bonus power, like Dominate or Reave, it might work with some liberal use of medigel without being overly dull to play/watch. We'll see.

Yeah, I can imagine adept solo is pretty boring and really just a grind. I think I've seen cool videos for every class except adepts.  Most adept videos are usually just warp explosions, and that isn't really unique to adepts.

Siiiiiiiick.

The Sentinel is crying for a shotgun.

The Infiltrator video makes me feel really inadequate.  Ridiculous.

Ah, scrap that. Adept rocks.

So, Adept video up.

I have to admit though, it took a lot more effort to get the level of performance seen in this video, compared to playing with Infiltrator and Sentinel. It's just so much more difficult to time and curve biotic abilities right than putting up cloak / assault armor and shooting in the right direction... Guess that's the price I had to pay for not exploiting the instant win button that is Reave.

I've got almost 100 views on the Adept video, but little feedback. :(

Was it worse or better than other two, and why, anyone?

Do you want to see an Engineer video or shall I just go straight for Soldier and Vanguard?

And if you do like to see more solo videos, please do make requests as to what class, location, bonus ability/build, tactic or weapon training you want to see. Anything, really.

Nice going .. although I'm not fond of using an AR with the adept ...

Particularly the use of pull and throw. After all, low cooldown powers are the best part of playing caster classes .. sure is faster than singularity spam.

One thing, though .. you pretty much only used singularity vs. harbinger .. so why 3 points in it? 2 would suffice, methinks .. and have an evolved version of warp or throw, perhaps?

Imo the adept doesn't really lend itself into solo play. If the all-power cooldown wasn't there it would've been more interesting.



I'm looking forward to the engineer and the soldier videos.

I really only used throw for throwing folks out of the map, not for damage. Level 3 throw was enough, level 2 would probably have worked well too. Also I only used warp against defenses, and level 2 warp was enough to one-shot drone barriers. So I thought I'd maximize the singularity duration by getting it to level 3 and getting Bastion ... But I guess the build could be improved. I'm sure it could be made to work with evolved warp + warp explosions. But I wanted to avoid those.

Hmm ... I found that pull 1 is sufficient after picking up the +duration, if all you're using it for is shooting or throw ...

With heavy throw, however, especially on the collector platforms, I could hurl plenty of targets off the map without using pull or singularity ..

As for harbinger .. I guess it's significant when going solo. I'd usually point my squadmates at him, and shoot his barrier a little bit .. and just ignore him while he dies. Not a feasible tactic here.

You're probably right on that one ;) All in all though, it doesn't make that much difference which ability you evolve and which not. What matter is that you have all four abilities and you're using them properly.

Hmm. Might also make a large difference to tactics if XP is a factor.

I'm usually around level 21 to 23 at the collector ship, 'cos my import is level 5. I guess that means 2 evolved powers .. 3 if pull is sitting on 1.

I'm wondering how much higher the enemies' stats are if you're level 23 vs level 15, now ...

Unbelieving, holy crap how did you pull that one off?

Appraising, this keeps getting better and better!

Eagerly, how about an engineer video - in a collector mission?

Wow, this vid gives me a whole new perspective on the Sentinel class! I really like to play an aggressive character but I never really thought of using energy drain as I have always gone with warp ammo.

Just tested this on Harbringer. I used level 1 warp, damage 348 to armor (with blood dragon and 3 upgrades). On level 15, it took almost exactly 7 warps to destroy the armor, which means Harbringer had a bit less than 2436 armor. On level 23, it took 8 warps, which means less than 2784 armor. Based on these estimates, enemies on level 23 are somewhere around 14% tougher than on level 15, assuming all enemies gain health/armor etc. in the same proportion. Could be 12%, could be 16%, as it's hard to accurately estimate how much damage the last warp dealt.
