I wouldn't mind seeing one of the Drell classes. I beat Gold with an Drell Adept, but it was due to Area Reave, Charge, Nova spamming. Are the Drell solo viable?

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I realize how far-fetched my request is.  Please disregard.

Why did you put no points into lift grenades?

I could be wrong, but I believe Stasis Bubble and Lift grenades can cause a Biotic explosion even if the enemy is not affected by the Stasis,
such as Brutes and Banshees. As long as they are walking through the
bubble, the explosion will detonate. I'm not 100% sure on that, but I
think I remember it working this weekend when I was playing my
AV.

According to this (http://social.biowar...index/9629730/1), lift grenades do not trigger biotic explosions, only set them up.  Completely unlike Cluster Grenades.  Which is ****.

That post actually says that Lift Grenades can do both and Cluster Grenades can only detonate.  I frequently use lift grenades to detonate targets in a stasis bubble. 

Here's what that thread says:  "-Lift Grenade is able to set up biotic combos on unprotected non-armored
targets (targets with health bar only). It is also able to detonate biotic combos."

OP isn't a dev so info may not be entirely correct.  I don't recall every seeing a Lift grenade prime a target, but that could be because I'm never looking for that.   It's possible that they only prime with the rank 6 Slam evolution.  I've never chosen that (and usually stick to rank 3 tops).

Posted a new video, this one's just me trying out the Asari Justicar for the first time (The solo attempt ends at wave 7)

Holy crap.  Some idiot infiltrators (seriously, nothing on the team but infiltrators) playing Gold Cerberus actually kicked me for being an Asari Vanguard.  That's actually the first time that's happened to me.

  Their loss.  I bet they all get stabbed by phantoms, knowing most infiltrators I've seen in PuGs...

/random rant.

I don't know if you'd be willing to spend $80 but this is what I use:

Roxio Game Capture

It's pretty handy, but relies a lot on your CPU's power. Here's an example video of what I was able to do with my 5-year-old computer:



Anyways, awesome videos. Keep up the good work. It's too bad you don't play on the PC.

Thanks for the suggestion!

People here say for you to get this and that... but instead of using the build-in webcam... why not get a HD webcam to tape what you do? It would up the quality already.

[lewgiffard]

Thanks for sharing those videos, Id tell you that you are a total boss, but you must know that already!

Vanguards are the one class I shy away from, but that is certainly food for thought.

I look forward to seeing more of your work!

[enfo13]

This is really no different than playing an asari adept that focuses on stasis and pistol damage. The one difference is that the vanguard has charge for restoring shields, and the adept has a damage increasing warp that they can use to put down an atlas, and also as an additional combo for the team.

It's also much harder to get people to stay as a vanguard in the game lobby than it is as an asari adept.

[Federally]

Um Charge detonates combos above porter. Used well a Vanguard is a great teammate for a sentinel or adept. Warp Target > Charge then tear up the mobs stunned by biotic explosion with shotgun/pistol and heavy melee. It shreds

[Zikel]

hmm, interesting, we should compare, in my asari vangaurd solo gold video on PC I killed 53 Phantoms, but you are playing on a console, did you get less and how many there were ?

[GodlessPaladin]

New video up, this one on the new Asari Justicar:  http://social.biowar.../index/11325955

50 sounds about right.  However, it is worth noting that the spawn rate of enemies depends on which enemies you're killing.  For example, I never killed an Atlas until everything else was dead, which is why there were never more than 2 atlasses per wave.  If you're focusing on phantoms first, you'll actually get MORE PHANTOMS than if you prioritize the lower order mooks.

you say engineers suck in MP, i have a lvl 20 human engineer and I'm almost always top 2 frequently #1 overall in my groups. Granted I don't do gold only up to silver. I've found that the class is great for group support, can hold a room/hallway and does pretty good damage.

So honest question why do people say the class sucks?

[Federally]

Because they're idjuts

It's not that they can't be successful... any class in skilled hands can be successful on any difficulty.  Every single one of them.  However, I don't think they're as effective as the alternatives, with the exception of the Salarian (haven't unlocked Geth yet).

Also, note that things that work on Silver may not hack it on Gold.

Godless I am guessing you have never used lift grenades before. Best thing since sliced bread.
damage/max/damage and radius
You need the bubble as the lvl 6 on stasis. Equals awesome biotic explosion combo. put your Justicar up to lvl 5 and have all points into maxxing out power damage. Fitness sitting at lvI 3.

On gold it works wonders you can not tank hits at all but it is not about tanking hits you stasis then grenade quickly and before they know it they area all dead. Atlas well bubble then grenade away take out there shields in no time and drop down a good chunk of armor. Something has to be inside the bubble for it to work. Does not need to be stasis but as long as it is in the bubble you will get biotic explosions of the lift grenades.

[GodlessPaladin]

So I have been messing around with the Batarian Soldier, trying to figure out how to make it effective and so forth. I've basically figured out that the key is to just ignore Blade Armor entirely for the bad ability it is. Anyways, I just tried a solo attempt with it, and I got to wave 9 using no equipment at all. I have a video of this if anyone cares.

I do!

[Petrikles]

I sort of specialized on the human vanguard and the sentinel (without tech armor), and while I don´t get nearly as stellar results als GodlessPaladin, I still get quite good ones if my teammates don´t suck too badly.

My main problem with the hf is that it bugs out a lot, and that charge/dodge/nova thingy is pretty randomly working (due to lag issues, I suppose). Thing is, my shield gets oftenly busted while I am still in or coming out of charge animation. After that, only some lucky dodges can save me, but, sadly, not very often.

Sometimes I even get killed before I am IN charge animation. I die, then charge zips my corpse around the map.

My main problem is the floating bug, though. I have to quit every second gold run on average, because of this. -.-

So any hints how to improve gameplay under these awful conditions would be helpful.

[astheoceansblue]

I've been messing with this in solo runs and I do absolutely fine unless I get the 4 data node objective, and I seem to get it every time. no matter how well I kite and draw the enemies away, there always seems to be one too many camping the node.

Will keep at it, it's a lot of fun.
