 Do you try for a headshot with ballistic blades or just aim for the body? 

Body usually.  Seems more reliable.

The blades appear to have the same issue as the falcon/striker: they do not do well in anything but low latency net connections. It's so bad that to me this post is trolling. Exactly same specs as you and I wasn't able to see ANY bleeds, even hitting Nemesis point blank. I scored right around 32k points on gold, which is almost all crusader damage. In sum, worst multiplayer experience with a character so far.

I have to assume the issue is latency, and I'm sure it's hard to fix the "ghost bullet" problems that plague the game for some... But come on Bioware, it's time to address this

Hmm, I have a Soldier so I might have to try this... The only problem is I can barely damage cannibals on Bronze at point blank range with Ballistic Blades even though I have it fully upgraded.... They also seem to miss frequently and sometimes when I fire I see no spikes at all... Perhaps they're just bugged...?

All you need to do is aim at their general direction when you are close to them.
I never see my spikes fly out, stuff just dies when I shoot them and that's all I need to know.

butcher 4 Geth Hunters at once with 2 shots of my blades on gold.

if I throw down an Inferno Grenade as well before they get to me, they are dead in 1 shot.

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively use the blades. On the other hand, I've managed to counter-melee a few brutes to death with the armor already.

 

This is a good tactic, for the Batarian Sentinel

Did you spec into explovisions or more dots on the last tier?

[darkblade]

Yea, no

6/6/6/5/3

unless batarian racials are **** then

6/6/6/3/5

I spec'd into max power damage, ballistic blades damage+bleed. full blade armor damage return and max melee damage.

Even on gold this guy is beastly.  I prefer and claymore and try to flank enemies and basically ballistic+claymore to the face=dead.  Ballistic+claymore+melee another guy =2 deads guys on gold in a couple seconds.

I honeslty feel this guy is one of the best classes at big game hunting.  I eat phantoms.  A single heavy melee last I checked was knocking off 2-3 bars of armor on an atlas.

[hector000]

N7 Crusader, such an awful weapon

[Miriad]

I'd very much like to see some videos of this build doing well on gold, I just am having troubles seeing someone two shooting phantoms with blades on gold as some are claiming.

[Miriad]

Also, as to "big game hunter", nothing comes close to geth infiltrator with damage specced hunter mode damage specced cloak and a javelin

[okita_luc]

I tried it on silver was not impressed, BB seems okay, i will use some respec cards to experiment with different builds

I don't like taking grenades because if you are playing Gold with a Drell Adept you don't want to be fighting him for grenade spawns...

And even with Blade armor on, and not having taken the 35% cooldown reduction at rank 5, I can still spam the crap out of them. It's like having an explosive shotgun attached to my wrist.

That's all well and good...except for Ballistic Blade is buggy as fok.

So far I have played, It's never bugged on me once.

Try firing them from behind cover (without manually right clicking to aim first) It will fire blanks almost every time.

[sammerz]

The blades worked fine for me everytime I used them.

Just like someone said, if you're close enough, say a few feet farther than melee range, get the damn reaper on the center of your screen and shot.

Remember there is a minor delay between hitting the button and the blades actually firing.

The monster will stagger, follow that with melee combo (my favourite) or a couple of shotgun shots and you can paint one more reaper on your fuselage. ;-)

Against multiple enemies, after staggering them, I usually kill one with shotgun and quickly start melee combo at others. Works fine if more enemies aren't shooting at you from a distance.

OP's build seems pretty sturdy. I've had some success with it, whereas the Sentinel still leaves me scratching my head.

Max Net, Max Blade Armor, Rank 3 Shockwave (just in case you need it), Max Fitness Health, Rank 5 Batarian

Use SPAM Net like a Tech-version of Stasis or to set up Tech Combos vs. Heavies (Now that they do the same damage as biotic detonations, your resident biotic will be happy to help you out)

srsly guys. try firing them when in cover, without zooming in to aim first. It will do absolutely no damage every single time. Even with en enemy 2 ft in front of you.

yeah, I've done that build, it still just feels awkward, I just can't get into a rhythm with it the way I can other classes. But anyways it's off topic, this is about the soldier, which is actually the first soldier in ME3 co-op I've had fun with

I'm not really sure bleed is better than explosion. I've used both and they do similar damage, and explosion is super useful because even after the enemy dies it explodes and takes more with it. will have to test more though.

[tnt118]

How did you spec Batarian Enforcer and Fitness?

Thats my question, cause I'm sitting here trying to decide what to Spec, lol.

[Ponei]

Let me bump this with my take on your build sir, it's freaking amazing!

The Ballistic Blades deal a total of 1860 dmg with spec for power damage, every 2.5 seconds lol, coupled with the grenades for armored targets.

So for people who asked for Batarian Enforcer, i went with Damage & capacity, power damage and Weapon damage/ammo

For Fitness i went full shields sinse melee is kind of a waste on gold.

[nuclearpengu1nn]

I prefer the exploding blades because it seems like the blade jumps to another enemy close by when a target explodes.

For a sentinel try focusing on becoming good with the submission net and melee, a light shotgun (I like the disciple with a pierce mod/choke mod or pierce/melee dmg mod) or a sniper rifle (i like the valiant personaly but anything that dosnt seriously impact your net cooldown is fine). Dont be afraid to sprint forward and smash the living hell out of a weaker enemy you have netted (basically anything that dosnt have armor)  if you can get away with it, iv completely collapsed enemy lines by aggresively netting , meleeing and shotgunning enemies down in quick succesion although this requires a obvious degree of discression and good judgement especially on gold as well as knowing when its time to start breaking for cover.

[A Wild Snorlax]

I tried this and didn't find it any good at all. Certainly no ''massive damage'' and I was playing on silver. The only thing I actually liked was inferno grenades vs armor.

The cone seems to be really good evolution.
