Host on a map with tons of corners to hide behind, against Cerberus, with a CQC powerhouse and with the piranha to pull the weight:pinched:. It works even better with tactical cloak in the mix, so what? One might as well shoot them in the head.Silbane_23 wrote...

This is how the acolyte shines when used well.

YES.
This man perfectly understands how this gun is great for the shadow. I have the Acolyte X with the melee boost and barrel on my shadow, and in tandem with shadow strike makes it entirely possible to OHKO Phantoms on even platinum if you are using a melee damage gear bonus and have fully specced for melee damage in the fitness tree. It hones your already incredibly potent assassination abilities, making it so that you can kill most non-boss units from geth and cerberus with a single power by demolishing shields and barriers first. Sure, if you are using a weapon-heavy class like a destroyer or something, then obviously you want a gun with more practical stopping power, bigger clip, etc. But for it's few niche roles, there is no better weapon, hands down. Far, far from a bad weapon, OP.

Stop whining. The problem is not the Acolyte. It is the most powerful anti-shield weapon in the game. The problem is you, for using it wrong.

nope. Still waiting though.

Yes. He loves it at Rank X. And he hasn't flip flopped, he said it sucked at low levels. And it does. The gap between X on that gun and lower levels is ridiculous.

I believe the words were something akin to "Not being Worthy of Ultra Rare status."

I personally believe that UR's and Promotional weapons shouldn't have as much level dependency as the Rares and Uncommons. One of the reasons that the Wraith, wrongly IMHO, gets so hate is the fact that it is very level dependent. The same can be said for the Valkyrie, Typhoon, and Indra.

If it was the "N7 Acolyte" with a description saying the Alliance made it to help Shadows strip shields and barriers before striking their targets in melee I'd be totally on board with that and have no problem with the gun at all. I might still not use it but I suck with the Shadow anyway. Unfortunately it is an asari made weapon that does not fulfil the needs of my asari characters. This is why I don't like it.

Agree 100%.

Well, it is kind of funny that he whined the Acolyte sucked, and now he's whining that everyone uses it.
