Meh I still prefer my Concussive Shot spam Hornet build. Tech Bursts all day. Cc all day. And the Hornet still rapes with the right ammo power; no need for Marksman (though I do pop it against bosses). Not just Gold-viable, Gold-dominant.

Though, again, it does require the right team to really own.


Prox mine sets off explosions as well. Just gotta aim at the feet, light cover, walls, etc. Plus global 20% debuff.

 Hornet is rubbish IMO compared to the hurricane. I recommend popping the hurricane on a quarian infiltrator - 190% cooldown - and it EATS people. The cloak lets you get nice and close then you use that nice 90% damage boost to chew through anything. Reavers for example die super quick, stand behind one and let rip and it will be dead before it has chance to turn round (silver difficulty - I wouldnt run off into a bunch of them on gold no matter what gun I was using).

I will say this though - the geth plasma SMG is better if you can get consistent headshots as it is so accurate you can get a major boost to your damage potential, and of course you dont have to run up close like with the Hurricane.

I don't have the Hurricane. I stated this in the guide. If I get it I will test it though.

I will try out the Hornet Build as soon possible.

By the way, could you perhaps reupload the Batarians Soldier Guide? The video is blocked in my country due to the soundtrack, but I really need to see it. A good batarian guide would be priceless to me. Please..? :o

Yeah, as I worried, the Hornet build didn't really work on 360. The sticks just don't allow for the right level of correction on the Hornet's kick. You definitely need the stability mod or scope, possibly both, to hit consistently at any distance outside of 5-10 meters. I only have a Hornet II, which I'm sure explains some of the so-so qualities, and some is certainly is due to me being far from an elite player, but I'd say sacrifice the heat sink for a stability mod on consoles.

I've always liked Concussive Shots. They work well against Ceberus eg Guardians and Phantoms.

Plus, they're helpful when you're in a tight spot

How is the Tempest for this play style compared to the Hornet?
I currently have a Hornet IV and Tempest VII, but with the accuracy from Marksman Tempest's spray sounds like it may be more focus fired along with Turians passive stability.

The Tempest is pretty decent overall, I have to say.

I enjoy turian soldier so much and experimented a lot of builds. Revenant is actually good if you have it at decent level but you always have to be in cover. I raped a Geth Prime with Revenant+Marksman in few seconds, but you have to spec for headshot bonus damage and aim head.
Then I tried heavy pistol path, works good against normal enemies but it's not great against bosses (viable though)... Unfortunately I don't have Talon, so I tried with a Paladin.
After respec I tried adding Concussive Shot. I wasn't a huge fan of this skill, but I have to admit it's useful. Just put 3 points in it: has a very fast cool down and the animation is similar to Throw. Very fast and makes curves to avoid obstacles. It staggers, so you can aim head better, and gives you time to escape if you are badly injured. Plus, it's a finisher against weak enemies.

Concussive Shot is very good against phantoms actually.

I have never put points in melee. Always put them in health, but I think I will give this a try.

I know, but it doesn't have anywhere near the spamability or crowd control capabilities that Concussive Shot has. I've tried both kinds of builds and C-Shot is honestly broken. It's on like a second cooldown, stuns or knocks down enemies, and sets off Tech Bursts every second. No need to debuff already-dead enemies.

I'm sure there's videos online of C-Shot spam builds if you don't believe the hype.

Hell yeah, I've been running with a talon on my TS since the buff. It's amazing.

Oh I have to say thanks with that Talon build (I use concussive shot instead of proxy mine)! I tried it with my lv 7 turian soldier and had been rocking it on silver cerberus :D

For the Talon build I think concussive shot is better.

One thing I think I have noticed with Marks is if you are zoomed in with your weapon before and while you activate the skill, the RoF bonus doesn't seem to apply until you release out of zoom. Possibly the other bonuses too.

I've been playing a similar Hornet build, but considernig Damage for the last Prox Mine evolution. It's about 200 and will still be really fast recharge.

Non-elite Xbox player here as well.  I tried the hornet build and couldn't correct for the kick, only thing worse was the striker (how does anyone use that thing?).  I'll give the Turian Soldier another shot with the GSMG.
