BTW you cannot reload while in ARush? I do know you can't use the reload trick, but no reloads? All weapons?
Finally an ARush weakness :)
Loved Jack's Shockwave too - ******!


That's right, you can't reload 1-shot weapons like the Widow, Mantis and Claymore under ARush. Even if you're in the middle of the reoad animation and then you hit ARush, the animation continues but the ammo number will stay at ZERO until ARush ends! So if you forgot to reload before storming in, or if you're hitting ARush as a panic button, you're kind of screwed, and you're left with either running and/or melee out of the mess.

 @Tony
I was thinking about your Soldier's build.
You're using Heightened AR and Commando passive.

Have you tried Hardened AR and Shock Trooper ?

Since your taking heavy risks for up close kills, I imagine 50% less health damage (Hardened AR) might come in handy. Also you're giving up 40% damage boost, but the Claymore at point blank range easily compensates for it.
I'm aware the Viper would be the one suffering this change. Less damage and less time dilation. 

I'm not that sure about Shock Trooper though. The only advantage worth mentioning seems to be the power duration bonus for AR, and you're loosing some storm speed, some weapon damage and a small bonus to your ammo powers. Probably not a fair trade.

To sum it up, more survivability, less damage output. Just curious how this could play out.

Shock Trooper is only good for paragon/renegade bonus imo. You lose too much damage bonus and health bonus on insanity is neligible.

I did consider changing it up a bit, because to me storming distance mattered the most, and i don't know if Shock Trooper adding 1 more sec on Heightened while sacrifing 10% stoming makes me run farther. Also, Shock Trooper's +15% power duration would have made CC properties of ammo powers last longer, and if I used Hardened, I might not be able to one-shot enemies as much, so adding cryo ammo on the Claymore plus the Shock Trooper power duration could be another way of playing it.
