Hey all i just got an AA for the first time and Im wondering how about the best way to spec her out.
I have had no experience with stasis so some tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

[Badpanzer]

To be clear Im wondering if 3/6/6/5/6 is good enough or if I need to max stasis.

[Polive]

most people tend to play 6,6,6,5,3 or a 6,6,6,4,4, for AAs. All of her biotic abilities are great. There is really not a reason NOT to max all of them out. Which means you can either go glass cannon with the 5,3 or have a bit more survivability with the 4,4.

Stasis bubble is great. There are several reasons why it is much better than single target stasis:
1. You can stasis groups of enemies at once.
2. You can stasis on an enemy in cover, since the circular bubble will sometimes clip into the cover and hit them. Even if the bubble doesn't initially hit them, they will still be hit by the bubble as they poke out of cover.
3. For the same reason as number 2: you can use stasis on Guardians and it will freeze them through their shields. Causing them to drop said shield and expose themselves.
4. You can place the bubble in choke points and enemies will walk into it.

For warp: Detonate, Expose, Pierce
For throw: Force, Detonate, Force+damage.
Asai Justicar: Damage and capacity
Fitness: Durability

The specialty of the AA is long ranged crowd control and heavy damage through biotic explosions. Stasis for control, Warp followed by throw to hit priority and armored targets, throw to clear out small stuff.

Equip a light weapon for maximum cooldown. Your damage and power comes from your abilities, not so much the weapons you carry. Though, personally I'd recommend a high powered pistol with scope for easy headshots on stasis targets.

Thanks for an informative reply.
I have no problems with warp and throw but Ive never used stasis before.
Might give 6/6/6/4/4 a try as the 6/6/6/5/3 builds really are fragile and Im not the best at dodging lol
Cheers

Getting max Stasis can be useful but really isn't as necessary as people make it out to be. If you're not comfortable with only 3 Fitness, 3/6/6/5/6, 4/6/6/4/6, 6/6/6/4/4 and 4/6/6/6/4 do work well.

6/6/6/4/4 is probably the most common "best" build. Having extra shields will prove useful on Gold as you can't really use your powers without shields often, unless you have a death wish.

I have a fairly unorthodox build with her, I don't recommend it, but I'll post it anyway. 6/5/5/6/4 I see no real reason to max Throw as level 5 throw gets the job done and Warp's reduced cooldown is something like 0.23 seconds difference. It reallly doesn't matter to me, cause the cooldown is fast enough and when my shields drop I have to wait for them to start recharging most of the time. Reduced pistol weight improves my cooldowns way more than the Warp final evolution and it affects all of my powers. Extra headshot damage is just enough to kill some enemies affected by stasis.

Honestly, if you stay close to cover there's no reason why you can't get away with a 5/3 build. Heck, I'm no superstar by any stretch but I do okay with absolutely no points in fitness. The AA shouldn't be on the front lines anyway, she's not a krogan.

[Polive]

Perhaps I can get away with 5 on throw, but I feel that the Pierce for warp is pretty essential. Especially since most targets that you are looking to detonate for damage are armored to begin with.

[Badpanzer]

Yes Im honestly cant see me dropping pierce either as I find it very useful.
Im pretty set on having 6 ranks for warp and throw its stasis that has me undecided.
I was hoping people would tell me 3xranks stasis was enough but perhaps the glass cannon build is the way to go.
I do it with my engineers all the time.

[xsmiv]

I'm using 6/6/5/3/6 with a Phalanx. Seems to work pretty well on gold. Biotic explosions are close to full potential, stasis bubble is available, and full fitness for survivability.

[DarthFrylock007]

Embrace the glass cannon build. If you really were to find yourself needing more than 3 ranks in fitness then you're probably playing the class wrong.

[oOmpie]

Mine is specced 3/6/6/5/6 I believe and perfectly gold viable.

Maxed out for explosions, stasis is just for trapping phantoms and the likes. I hardly ever duck behind cover. I just hang around corners, etc to reduce incoming fire in between power spam.
I think I specced warp for lower cooldown, but not throw. Throw is the bread and butter of her build.
Avenger X to whittle shields down, no decent heavy pistol yet, so can't comment on that, but I doubt I'd switch to a heavy pistol for her, since I tend to dislike being scoped on her. It's just biotic artillery really...

[OniGanon]

Nooooo...

You NEED Rank 6 Warp and Throw. That is non-negotiable.

Warp explosion damage depends on the rank of the powers involved.

Honestly, it comes down to whether you like the bubble or not. If you dont, the level 4 and 5 evolutions are both pretty negligible. So basically Stasis is an ability that you either keep at 3 or bring to 6. There's pretty much no reason to do 4 or 5 on it.

[molecularman]

Stasis bubble is overrated, you can do fine without it. But another interesting approach is to skip justicar: 5 ranks in justicar only increase the damage of your combo detonations by under 8% on gold (assuming some 2000 BE damage)

[molecularman]

Also, throw can replace most of bubble's functionality if you spec it for area

[DarthFrylock007]

Polive speaks the truth about stasis. And honestly, I've found very little difference between 6/6/6/6/0 and 6/6/6/5/3 on gold, so if you're feeling brave and/or don't have a high level Carnifex you can absolutely get away with being a total glass cannon.

[ChapDev]

I went with all round 5's in skills with Warp being the only skill at 6.

Does alright on gold, Warp and Throw can rip Brutes apart and stun them which is always nice and to stasis a phantom and hit it with a biotic explosion is all varients of funny.

It's up to you what builds you go with but I would suggest making Warp and Throw high level and quick at cooldown so you can set up biotic explosions, Asari Justicar would work well at high level with this also to increase your powers damage.

At least thats my take on the class anyhow, I'm no expert.

Go for stasis bubble. My AA is 6/6/6/4/4.

Not even close. Phantoms, for instance, will likely flip away from throws, while stasis bubble just laughs and condemns them to a swift death.

sorry,i messed up while quoting your post

[molecularman]

Abentropy, you still would have stasis

[DarthFrylock007]

Can you still catch shielded Guardians in stasis without a bubble?

I... actually think not.
