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.

Very nice video perhaps not as fast paced as the Sentinel or Infiltrator vids but IMO a far more impressive technical display & my favorite so far.
I'd put my vote for the Vanguard just because its my favorite class:P

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.

Why can't they have tech shields? If you have the advanced training and unlocked the characters that have those shields, you can apply them (without cheating) to your abilities. I actually find the Adept one of my favorite classes to use. But I find using Reave is effective against any enemy.

Very inspiring.

Sentinel run, here i come.

I meant Tech Armor, Sentinel's class ability. I don't mean the much less useful bonus abilities called Barrier, Fortification and Geth shield boost.

Better.The sentinel imitate a vanguard playstyle imho.

Those had to be the best video's I've seen since Gatsby. The closest I've ever come to no squadmates was, just leave them dead and finish up myself.
I've been playing Hardcore.

The adept was my favourite. It's inspired me to be more aggressive with my adept.

Personally I'd vote for a solo vanguard as I think it would be very interesting to see

[OniGanon]

Why? I mean, I suspect a solo Vanguard vid would look an awful lot like many other Vanguard vids around.

That's a possibility... It'll be just charge spam until everyone's shotgunned to death. A bit slower with squadmates not helping.

New video up. Showcasing the CQC Infiltrator using Eviscerator on the Collector vessel :happy:

Awesome. One question: why did you choose Assassination Cloak over Enhanced?

[FFTARoxorz05]

Geez, didn't know cryo ammo froze every time like that. Gonna have to start using it I guess.

I didn't need the extra 2 seconds, whereas the extra damage helped one-shot drones without melee, and minimise shots needed for assassins and guardians. Consider that the shotgun has eight pellets, some of which may hit the head, some not - so the damage boost works to offset those that miss the head or miss completely. But I think Enhanced is a safer option if you're concerned about the duration.

That makes sense, thanks.

Haha, awesome stuff! And that happens to be one of my favourite songs too, lol. You made those platforms look a cakewalk. Hell, you even shotgunned your way through some sections where I usually just Viper spam. And damn! I really have to try using point blank Heavy Pistol much more often!

Ironically, I think the lack of teammates actually worked in your favour. Without them around, during Cloak the enemies tend to just stand there like a Sabotaged Geth, waiting to be killed.

Yeah it seems to be a quirk of shotguns... With Cryo Ammo, a shotgun shot that pierces defenses will almost certainly freeze the enemy on that same shot. They also seem to freeze faster than normal, but I could just be imagining that. I've taken out groups of three enemies together by giving each one shot to freeze them. Odd as it may sound, I've found Cryo Ammo to be the most effective ammo type for shotguns vs Shields or Barriers. Squad Incendiary is nice against armour and a lot more useful on enemies with no health bar, but as cruc1al shows in that vid, I probably should be switching weapons against those targets...

[FoFoZem]

In the shotgun Infiltrator, are you using the Terminus Armor?

[cruc1al]

^ yep. +15% shields, +10% sprint speed, +10% ammo.

[FFTARoxorz05]

If shotguns freeze instantly with cryo ammo, how was the infiltrator doing it? I've never put points in it since it was a sometimes effect, so if it really freezes every husk with two points, I'm gonna have to change stuff around.

[Tlazolteotl]

Cryo ammo doesn't freeze anything with defenses (obviously) ... however ...

Shotguns fire 8 pellets at once. Vs. shield and barrier, the shotgun gets enormous damage bonuses, so it doesn't take many of them to get through. If some of those pellets hit health, it's a cumulative effect making the freezing almost certain.

Even with 1 point in cryo, a single pistol shot (with whichever pistol) to a husk's health = frozen. I suspect the probability of freezing has to do with # of damage done, but I'm just guessing.

Not sure I quite understand the question...

As far as I can tell, the probability of ammo effects is different for each gun, and seems linked to the weapon's rate of fire. Low rate of fire weapons have a much higher chance of freezing. Heavy Pistols, for instance, are very likely to freeze on each shot (see the earlier Infiltrator vid in this thread). Shotguns have a low rate of fire and fire 8 pellets, which I think each carry the ammo effects. So 8 pellets each themselves carrying high chance of cryo effect means freezing is damn near assured.

[FFTARoxorz05]

Well on the video he just shot husks with no defenses and kept going as if they'd always freeze, so I was wondering why there was a 100% chance they'd freeze with just a pistol.

Yep, heavy pistols freeze almost every time with just 1 point in cryo. Carnifex more often than predator, of course. And it makes sense, as mentioned earlier, that shotguns freeze at point blank range easily because they have 8 pellets; if a couple get through the barrier, there's a good chance that the enemy will freeze.
