I'll be doing a Pull/Dominate/Bastion Adept later...
...then a Shockwave/Stasis Adept (with Level 1 Warp) eventually (I know nobody would do that; that's why it'd be so fun/interesting to try).

I'm not trying to put together the 'best' Adept (I've always considered Pull to be superior to Throw if I were to choose). I've got a predetermined setup, and I'm trying to figure out how useful certain aspects of it are.
Currently warming up on NG+ Hardcore... I'm still popping Pull 1 here and there...

Since I have Warp Ammo there's really no need if I'm dropping Pull to do a Warp Bomb - I find myself often just shooting them for triple damage... I generally reserve bombs for when a Singularity lifts up two or more or grabs one in the middle of a crowd and I wanna wreak havoc on them all.
Otherwise I try not to use Warp... leaving it down to accidental use only where I just seem to use it without thinking.

@adonfraz
I meant exactly what I wrote, area pull is better than area throw on all levels, if you have to choose either or. If you Max throw heavy is generally better at higher levels, unless you are going for mass shatters.


@Caj
I hope it works as you foresee, there really is no one "right" way to play as long as you are having fun. Keep us posted on how it goes and what works for you, most here are always happy to find another alternate way to play or use powers.

" Area throw allows you to hit a group of guys and if any are unprotected then they float allowing a
devastating warp bomb, whereas a level 1 needs to hit the exact guy."

You can't warp bomb with throw, can you?

No big deal, and I know pull is WAY better than throw.

Finished all the pre-Horizon stuff on my HC warmup.
Korlus and Purgatory were pretty damn fun.

Pull + Shoot seems to be the way it's going with Pull 1's use.
I'm using Throw against that one lonely mook who gets caught in a Singularity and is floating just the right way, or as a way to keep approachers back.
...I also use it to play with the very last enemy sometimes. XD

Capacitor Helmet + Chestplate is very helpful at keeping the flow moving faster.

Quick question for all the Adepters here:

I've been wanting to go with a CQC Shotgun Adept, and I'm wondering what bonus powers I'd be best off with. I know Barrier would probably be really useful, but I'm trying to use bonus powers that I haven't used before, which leaves me with Reave and Warp Ammo (as far as biotic powers go). If it matters, I was planning on bringing Jack with me at all times, because I plan on romancing her this go around, so I could have access to Warp ammo without using it as a bonus power. What do you guys think would be best?

Yeah Barrier or Stasis would be the most useful. An Adept, especially a CQC one needs a panic button.

[CajNatalie]

I agree on Barrier and Stasis. Barrier is a great panic button to increase survivability (once you have the Redundant Field Generator upgrade wait until you see your Health bar before popping it to get the most out of it), and Stasis will stop that one tough enemy that shows up at the worst of times in their tracks before they kill you.

Dominate is also a fair option for decreasing aggro, as long as you're willing to set it up before running in (or have the confidence to use Dominate after you've closed in).

LOL, that is what I get for typing and trying to proof read on a Android phone while waiting on computer parts...

Sorry but yeah, you were right it was pull...

[mcsupersport]

You could use Area Reave(especially on lower difficulties) to give you a bit of a boost to health. The combo could work like this, area strip(ie overload or incineration blast) Area Reave, then charge and by the time you get close you will have your powers back to start casting.

For Adepts playing close combat staggers are a must too, if you can't get actual damage, then a stagger is good, so heavy throw to do some damage and cause a stagger while you finish charging at them and blast them.

Quick question, so I've been playing Adept for a couple days and I'm not even on Horizon yet, as I remember from my Sentinel playthrough the Tempest has quite a bit of recoil as does the Shuriken. Would Stolen Memories be worth the $7 for the Locust and Kasumi??? Because I don't really like having to fire the weapons in bursts and not full auto...

It's not 'worth' it, in price value... but that doesn't mean that the Locust isn't amazing on all levels.
Because it is.

If you've played Mass Effect 1 and used Master Marksman, that's what the Locust is like...
Good damage, controlled but still high rate of fire, and extremely tight bullet spread.

And Kasumi is great to have on the team.

It's overpriced (as with just about every DLC), but still a good DLC. It's basically down to whether you can say 'I have 7 bucks to spare... I'll do it' or whether you'd rather spend those $7 on something else.

I guess I'll have to buy it then xD Thanks.

YES my adept Nicole Shepard made it!

Many Thanks to U all for the posted strategies, youtube's and all the tips! Especially to the TS Adept Bozor! I do applause to You TY TYTY  for this topic! Maybe Nicole Shepard will buy your Shepard a beer in ME3! Maybe we can have Ugly Shepard joining us (lol)   Take Care.

Many regards from the Netherlands!

9 days with no posts? Madness! I just started my first Insanity run as an adept and I've only played as a vanguard on Hardcore before. I like being aggressive, so shotgun training on the collector ship is a must. I miss my GPS.

I also tend to make stupid decisions, so I chose Stasis as my bonus power. Although it is kind of downplayed here, Shockwave was so much fun to use on my vanguard and I think I'll max it out on my adept. This thread has been a tremendous help and I've been watching Boz's videos, as well as Natalie's Warp Ammo adept playthrough.

So, Nemesis Stasis Adept that likes to shotgun and spam shockwave... all on Insanity. I anticipate lots of time spent staring at the mission failed screen.

Sounds like your Adept is going to play like a no-charge biotic Vanguard.
When you get past those mission fail screens you predicted, I expect it'll start to be a lot of fun. Enjoy. =D

[CajNatalie]

I put together a YouTube video...
"The Adept Sucks"?!
Feedback?

I've been wanting to make a video with that music for a while. I was supposed to wait until after I'd finished my Adept run, but I couldn't wait.

But alas, Boz can't edit the first post with his new account, so even if this is deemed worthy, it can't be. ;_;

i've just done Overlord ( gps, barrier and zeed's disruptor) . I used the barrier a lot , sort of medigel replacement, quite handy . Didn't care about the cooldown too much as the gps on disruptor does incredible damage .
but it was weird when things got orange, the blue coating of the barrier didn't show at all. 


/EDIT

nice video Caj.no IFF and SM ?

[CajNatalie]

The part where Shep gets hacked in Overlord cancels out all other glowy effects, so you can't see Fortification/Barrier.
Not sure if it affects GSB, too... probably does.

Those'll be in the second one. I've decided I'm making a MOAR version. Long as the first or longer, with all the fun moments in the more advanced missions. There's an IFF upload on my YouTube right now though if you want to see me go head-to-head with Scions for the time being...

XD

SM tomorrow. For now: SLEEP!

Both vids are great. Nice offensive play, I feel sorry for those Husks and Scions. Keep those vids coming : )

Edit 7 hours later: since I'm again infected with the Adept fever, I recorded a vid. 
Garrus Recruitment mission, just before that I did Kasumis LM to get the Locust and managed to delete the record of the Fight against the Airship until the shields are down. I don't know if I'll upload the Kasumi mission in that crippled state : (

well Garrus RM here www.youtube.com/watch

Adept fever is good. It seems like the Adept has lost its status as underrated now.
Now I think the Engineer's the underrated one - that class needs more love.

Anyway, I made an extra 'Adept Sucks'?! video for anyone who wants moar. Otherwise the first should do for most.
Note that I used a different version of the same music (different artist). XD

good one.. how did you get the mercs flying on the platform on Azure.?
Area overload and pull field , or singularity ?

[Bozorgmehr 2.0]

Some great Adept gameplay videos have been posted here lately. Thanks for that! I always love watching good biotic mayhem

Unfortunately, I can't update the OP. But I will ask Simbacca if he would be so kind to add those vids to the second post of this thread. Or maybe I can find a moderator willing to change the OP for me (though chances are slim). I'll keep you guys posted.

Shep cast Heavy Singularity on the merc closest to the edge of the truck.
Garrus cast Overload 3 on the middle-most merc I could hit... and Liara slapped Stasis on the Engineer.

I couldn't show those parts because it was pausy. Without area overload and the fact I wanted Stasis to hit that Engineer specifically before the truck could land meant going real-time wasn't an option.

www.youtube.com/watch  Jack Recruitment mission as Adept Lvl 10

www.youtube.com/watch  Grunt Recruitment mission as Adept Lvl 11

And I won't use any fast forward stuff anymore like I did in the Grunt mission, it's so irritating that there's no sound.
You'll either have to suffer through me walking confused around the map, a cut or simply avoid my videos in the future ^^

becasue the people who hated adepts have all moved on to games that dont suck.

like myself.

nice vid tho. i noticed playing shooters on the PC looks so easy. aiming isnt difficult at all. i feel like its kindof like cheating. not to mention i only have 3 hotkeys for the console too. i could never play games AND look up porn with the same device. seems too weird.
