If you take the Bonus Power Evo for Tactical cloak, can you use shadow strike and remain cloaked afterwards? Surprised no-one has thought of that already . . .

I hope that is the case.

Cloak - SS - move, pick another target in safety and heavy melee.

Does this work? (Has anywone specced duration/melee/bonus in TC?)

I think Shadow Striking without Cloak is fine on weaker enemies, including Marauder tier, as you're going to OHK them at Lv20 anyway (for the most part, I find).

A Claymore shot in the head kills a Marauder in one go (gold) and this Shadow Strike thing doesnt even need TC's damage bonus to do the same thing?

Can you OHK an Atlas with TC's bonus or what?

This is what I was wondering. Can Shadow Strike + Electric Slash create a tech burst? If so, that 100% tech combo bonus for Slash seems like it could be immense.

Yes, Shadow Strike with Rank 5 DoT can be detonated by electric slash.

What is the consensus build?

so if I take bonus power
it will still decloak me?

Not sure.

Some say yes, some say no.

[Silbane_23]

With bonus power u will stay cloaked after using slash or shadow strike

[RKOLK]

or going to upload something?

For cool points, go 6/6/6/0/6 and just slash everything. I have no idea what's the most effective though.

By the way, Eric Fagnan said that bonus power is usable with Shadow Strike

Yes it works.   That's the cloak set up I was using.

Uploaded what?

Most of the information for Shadow is in the original post.

Fantastic. Once I finally get to play and try out Platinum, I'm going to tinker around with her and see what works best.

So with Bonus Power Evo confirmed...

What don't we take?

0 in Shadow I imagine?

Hmm, not sure at the moment, but I'm considering leaving slash at 4 and N7 passive at 4 (weight reduction/power damage).

I don't think there will be a "consensus" build for this class. The last one to have seemingly so many options was the GI, and between shotgun, sniper, melee, and all the variations therein, one was never really pinned down.

It does seem like the class passive is the least useful on face, though that extra power damage could be quite solid if you want to be an electric slashing machine.

exactly what I was thinking.  6/6/6/0/6

Weapon damage and weight reduction too.

Sure it's nice to have a powerful melee and SS, but always good to pack a powerful weapon for the many times when you just want to shoot. Taking the passive to at least 4 can be useful.

Honestly? No.

You never need weapon damage.

At the moment I've just got Predator X on with +20% Melee Damage (for obvious reasons).

ANY time I find an enemy on too low health to bother with a power? Just one-two it in the head with a Heavy Pistol/SMG so you need 200% CDR.

[Sailears]

^Seriously?

What about multiple banshees or atlases? Is it possible to melee/SS/slash around the lot of them? I'd be too worried about instakills.

Honestly I'd like to know - seems very surprising if you can handle those sort of situations with this class without shooting much.

Plus some rather interesting options consisting of "Damage taken reduced by 40% after decloaking", "Movement speed increased by 15% after decloaking"

Wow. That's pretty much exactly what I predicted it might have.

You have allies?

That & Electric Slash, when used from flat cover, is incredible at stripping Shields & Barriers.

It's also possible to complete avoid some sync-kills (Banshee especially) with clever timing, so Shadow Strike is RELATIVELY safe if you're clever about it.

You shouldn't expect one class to be able to do EVERYTHING...admittedly some can but by design, you work as a team :'3.

On silver I never really had to fire my weapon. When I switch to good/platinum the weapon dmg may become more useful


This is similar to my krogan... On silver they can run around and just head butt all da things, but on gold he needs to fire his guns more and play more conservative to avoid dying all the time

[Krozuhsky]

So a Carnifex/Paladin and 6/6/60/6?

Interesting. Might make me think twice about electric slash  if it is that powerful.

I'd still feel more comfortable slapping on at least a Talon and increasing weapon damage, because yes as you said one class shouldn't be able to do everything, but still should be able to hold themselves on any wave and any difficulty - never know when all the team might fall (or disconnect!) and you need to solo a few waves, or even if you just want to do a solo run.

Seems so.

I'm willing to bet that weight capacity &/maybe weight reduction will come in handy though. Why?

Simple - maximizing melee damage. If a weapon can double up on weapon damage mods? You're gonna want it.
