Why in the world would you NOT want an asari adept with a black widow abusing stasis bubble on your team? Either you're seriously overestimating biotic combo damage (esp on gold enemies with armor/shields) or seriously underestimating the black widow in the hands of a skilled headshotter (or actually an unskilled one, since this character is always shooting at stationary targets). That or you're just mad she's getting "your kills".

I just use my Paladin with Pistol Amp 3, scope, and barrel mod to stasis and 2 shot phantoms with 200% recharge speed.

While on the surface it might look foolish, while it might not be optimal, was it effective? I've always been surprised with the tactics and strategies that gamers come up with and make work that weren't really intended by the devs.

Funny, I've rolled through Gold matches against all factions as an Asari Adept with stasis vulnerability and my lovely Widow III and do better than most and don't get destroyed at close range.

Do I have a rather lengthy background of sniping in video games? Yes, that's why I prefer it.

I make it work, I've seen others make it work. Do NOT ever think you can tell others how to play. I've seen bad players with the "right" set ups wipe the team and goid players with "wrong" set ups carry it. So while you sit here thinking that you are right, I'll be out there proving you wrong.

The point isn't if you can pull your weight through a gold, it's being a subpar choice compared to paladin + scope (which feels snypy enough if that's your thing). I wouldn't say you must play that, but what you are saying right is exactly the scrub mentality, you could do better, but you choose not to.

So...if Asari Adepts are forbidden to use Stasis Sniping because they're SUPPOSED to cause biotic explosions galore...is my Turian Soldier forbidden from using Marksman + Tempest to carry the team half the time?  All because he's SUPPOSED to use an assault rifle or somesuch nonsense? <_<

Just because a strategy is unconvetional does not mean it should be unacceptable.

Bronze strats belong in bronze. Your smg or assault rifle will do you no good when it's doing no damage in gold. If you want it fixed, ask bioware why armor has to gimp half the weapons so hard on higher difficulties.

Funny that you assume I was talking about Bronze.  When I mentioned carrying the team half the time, it was in Silver and Gold.  Otherwise I wouldn't bother posting.

Speaking of Drell, with their improved weight capacity, I have no problems with drell snipers, as long as they use something like mantis x or viper x. I am not so great at the sniping, so it's not my cup of tea, but I think it's viable for them on gold. Great two man cell: AA with heavy pistol no scope paired with DA sniper.

I've done the sniping Asari... but Vanguard, not Adept. I found it a fun way to pass the time (and silver viable, if nothing else). It made for a diverting and amusing way to level that character to 20 for Operation Fortress, and the game is ultimately about having fun. I didn't die, and I had the top score with AV + Valiant I (not that it's important).

Not my go-to for gold, but fun.

Gimping your team isn't carrying.

I made a similar topic, OP. I was an Infiltrator in a game with a sentinel, soldier, and adept, and all of them were sporting sniper rifles. So retarded.

lol, the most funny thing was..
3 engineers ( 2 salarians) and 1 adept.. all with widows.. (one with black). bonus points when I was the second salarian engineer with the Widow.

What's funny about this statement is that combo damage scales with difficulty while weapon damage obviously doesn't.

Amusing that you can't say anything better than that. 

You can consider this converastion over.  If you can't come up with any sort of reply besides trying to make a petty remark when you have no idea what my skill level is or how I play, I suggest you simply let the matter drop and move on.  Unless of course you're the type of person who can't live without getting in the last word.

I enjoy playing my N7 Valiant Adept more than any other class. Wanna fight about it?

Besides, who gave you the authority to tell me how to play the game I bought?
You're just a guy with an opinion, not a snowflake.

If you're not an infiltrator, you shouldn't be using a sniper rifle. Any class that can do biotic or techo combos is much effective using them than standing there sniping all day.

I certainly think Salarian Engineers can utilize the Raptor (thanks to Salarian Operative passive) well enough to consider it Gold-viable. They usually sit far enough back anyways to make decent use of it, and don't REALLY need to sit and waste time fishing for headshots with its lower damage and higher ROF.

[Beeno4Life]

I have an Asari adept that uses the Claymore.

Problem?

 Im tired of seeing Asari Adept carrying Javelin, Black Widow or any High Caliber Rifle with a scope. Seriously your job is blowing thing up with biotic, immobilizing phantom or hunter not popping head

You should be BOTH immobilizing and popping the head off a phantom.  And a Carnifex is better for that than a sniper rifle, so yeah.

I just don't understand those people. There is absolutely no excuse for an adept to carry anything else than a pistol.

How about SMGs?

SMGs are just plain bad in this game.

As has probably been mentioned on this thread somewhere, the thing here is for the Asari with stasis bubble to freeze enemies so squadmates with sniper rifles can pop heads at very long range, among other things. She should travel light so she can recharge as often as possible.

Tactically, that seems reasonable but people like to rack up their own kills. I always figure that if you live through the missions and do your share, the kills take care of themselves, though.

Have no problem with AA carrying sniper rifles if they are x level and light but widow black widow and javelin gets you kicked immediately

[Yigorse]

If they're good I have no complaints, I'm a big fan of weird builds when they work. Mostly though, they tend to just be people who don't really understand that they're damaging their recharge times.

[TLK Spires]

yes, it's widely known that adepts using sniper rifles have completely missed the point of the class.

It's a legit comment. If you're using inferior weapons, then you're gimping your team. But it's apparent that won't ever get through to you cause you're so good after all. Who cares about game mechanics and stats when there are players like you!

[Whiskey Jay]

I was griping about the Adept Sniper lunacy in the "Vanguard Snipers & other tales of WTF?" It's both bad and wrong. Badong...or badrong. Yes, sniper rifle equipped Adepts are badong. I hope one day common sense stops being so rare but until that we may have to cope with the lunacy. Stupid never goes out of style.

[snfonseka]

It's OK to do this in "Bronze". Because people need to experiment with different settings, if they want. But for Silver/ Gold, I agree with OP.

[coinop25]

Kind of tired of people insisting that there's only one way to play this game and everybody who plays differently should be kicked. I don't play with a sniper rifle on my adepts, but I figured I'd chime in to support the others who disagree.

[Maylson]

I use a disciple on my Asari Adept because it's a very light shotgun and it lets me get those perfect AOE headshots during my stasis bubble. It also staggers foes very often, so if I find myself cornered with my skills on cooldown, I just shoot once and run.

Now, about snipers... They are all so heavy and so slow, what is the point of using one?

[erikage]

What it comes down to is if you feel to complain how someone else plays then you're not very good and rely heavily on your team. Just tried Gold(tried silver yesterday 3 times), it's still a damn good tactic. The goal is to kill the enemies, not how you kill them.

Edit: Shoot, stasis, reload. Shoot, stasis reload. It's not that hard unless you're really bad at this game. You kill the enemies you can kill easily with the earlier shots, stasis the ones while you give yourself time to kill them. Also, if a teamate kills the stasis'd enemy. Bam, good to go. Try that on Gold. Works easily. You have to be systematic with any class on Gold.
