Can you simply tell us what results you observed, perhaps?

Well, the difference in game isn't actually large enough to detect while testing (if it exists), so I had to go and time it from watching the video.

Expected results (if cooldown works):
Passive 2: 36 seconds x 0.9 = 32.4 seconds
Passive 3: 36 seconds x 0.85 = 30.6 seconds
Nemesis: 36 seconds x 0.8 = 28.8 seconds

Timestamps:
Passive 2: 0:05 - 0:37
Passive 3: 0:44 - 1:15
Nemesis: 1:30 - 1:59

So it looks like the Adept's class cooldown reduction affects Geth Shield Boost.

Brilliant. Thank you.

Tee hee ... I saw that comment about the 36 seconds ...

Video of the test, currently in really crap quality, will improve when youtube finishes processing

Cool. I'll take a look at the video later. Great you managed to provide evidence at such a short notice. This makes GSB an interesting option, even for an Adept - esspecially early game.

To the OP - Adepts are quite formidable. I'm just getting some feel with Barrier as bonus power, here's a video of a commando style Adept at the Dantius Towers.

Nice, the cooldown for the Barrier seems pretty ok actually. I might just give Adept a second try.

Barrier is great. It gives the Adept the extra protection to move around using biotics. Best of all though is that Barrier casts instantly. No matter if your stunlocked or firing your gun - the moment you press the button your barrier is back up.

Imo that fact alone elevates Barrier up to second place of defensive powers, just behind Tech Armour. Being able to fart out +250 pts of barrier whenever you need it is the core of the agressive adept strategy

I agree, too bad you can't shed extra 2 seconds from the cooldown, if you could then it would actually be pretty damn good power.

Barrier is the ultimate bonus power for an Adept, lowering the cooldown would make the Adept even more OPed. I'm just about to start recording some crazy stuff with fraps - you'll be playing Adept this week Kronner after you've seen what they can do. Me thinks Adepts are perhaps even more powerful and faster killing machines than the Vanguard
